Ryan & Kari

 Kari's family has been friends with my family since we were all kids, but they all moved away years ago, so I was thrilled when she told me she was going to be in town and wanted me to do engagement pictures. 

Mr. Kari (aka Ryan - I'm sure he prefers Mr. Kari though ) got a chance to see a little of Kari's hometown.

During the shoot, I had a moment where I realized I hadn't done any pictures of the ring. Then I proceeded to do SEVERAL ring pictures. These are some of my favorite.

I really had a hard time picking which pictures to include on my blog!! There were so many that were my favorites. 

Ryan really is a sweetheart. I'm so happy for them and can't wait for the wedding!!

Baby Bump

This is a good friend of mine who is expecting baby #2 any day now!! I've already got tons of newborn ideas saved on my Pinterest board that I can't wait to try out.

Dad's a golfer. I thought the golf course was not only beautiful, but so appropriate for their family.

"August" was on my baby boy name list, too. Love it! I hope they call him "Gus".  

Mitzi has the best fashion sense and ALWAYS looks so put together, even at 8 months pregnant. 

I love the look in big brother's eyes - he's just so handsome.  

Can't wait to meet you, Little August.

Rose-Colored Lenses

Back in December, I did our Christmas pajama shoot with my friends, the Roses. We always intended on doing a non-seasonal shoot, too, but just now got around to doing it. So without any further delay, I present, the Rose Family...this time, out of bed...

They just got this new red truck, so we had to include it in a picture, too. Matches the boots, right?

 We had a lot of laughs!!

Buck Family

These kids have one hard working momma!!

 4 kids in 4 years! I think she deserves a metal.

And what sweethearts, too!
