the fruits of our labor...

We grew this people. No joke. :) And they were yummy!

#5, #23, #93, and #96 - check!

So here's an update for all you who have been waiting on the edge of your seats to see what we have accomplished on our 101 in 1001 list lately! (We know you are dying to know? What? You're not? Oh well, you will have to endure it anyway!)

#5 - Get an iPhone. Internet, you have no idea how long I've been waiting for my very own iPhone! It bordered on obsessive, but I was finally able to save up and convince the D in this house to let me get one! :) And it's amazing. Including my beautiful Kate Spade case.

#93 - Buy an original piece of art. For those who don't know, one of my very best friends just so happens to be an amazing artist. Her name is Mandie Aberra (I've blogged about her before, and you can link to her site via the ad at the bottom of this page!) She custom painted me two beautiful canvas' for our living room update that has yet to be shared. Just take a look at this awesomeness...

#23 - Grow my own tomatoes (AND jalepenos!). This has been quite an experience! But I just can't wait for them to be ready to eat! 

This next one isn't on the list, it should have been though and it's worth sharing! Today we painted our front door this lovely shade of blue...yummy huh?

 Lastly #96. Does anyone remember this guessing game played on facebook! People guessed everything down to an Ompa Loompa. Seriously, my facebook friends are crazy ya'll! So here's the big reveal!

It's a DISHWASHER! And it's beautiful!!! For all those who know Daryl and I, you know that we hate to wash dishes. We went from having a dishwasher to handwashing for over a year, and now we finally have our Anniversary dishwasher as we like to call it...It was a nightmare getting it here and installed since we didn't have one before in this house, but we finally got it worked out and couldn't be more thrilled with the extra time it gives us!

Thanks for bearing with us with through all that! Whew! More beautiful sessions to come! :)

heather + jonny - engaged!

Heather and Jonny have got to be the sweetest thing since pure honey when they are together! I love it when a couple is comfy with each other and get confidence from each other - it's a rare thing, but some people find it! Here's a sneak peak of their e-session last week...

So sweet right??! That golden light kills me...I love it! (Not to mention the beautiful people in that beautiful light!)

Heather is so gorgeous! I love this one I caught of her just hanging out waiting for the next set...

One of my favorites from the day...

I love when a couple make each other laugh...and it makes for sweet pictures too...

We can't wait to photograph this wedding later this year! :) So excited!

anna+justin - married!

Anna + Justin wed almost a month ago now and we are so excited to finally be able to share these photographs with everyone! :) These are just a few of our favorites...

Isn't she gorgeous?? It kills me how pretty she is...

Sometimes we shoot kooky things...like groomsmen through bushes! We just love that light...

Anna and Justin were the picture of grace as their reception was almost cancelled when a friend of the family suddenly fell ill and the paramedics had to come in. But at his request, the party was to go on! And boy, did it! These people can throw a party! The band was incredible and really brought it back after that little mishap! 

Anna + Justin - we wish you many years of happiness together! 

Thank you for choosing us to capture your memories! :)
