Sunday Best

After New Year's we had a "second" Christmas because my sister, Nat, and her family came into town from Reno!

We took advantage of everyone in the Sunday best and got some photos :)

Christmas "Photos"

The photographer in me always has perfect pictures in mind to get around that time of year, but it gets busy or things just don't work out. That's okay though.. because these photos show how life really is and they're perfect anyways!

One reason I really wanted these photos was because I took similar ones last year and they are my FAVORITE photos ever. The lighting and the bokeh from the Christmas tree was perfect.

Like this one.

This one.

And THIS one most of all.

SO I wanted to try and duplicate it this year again, but we moved and the lighting was different and the girls are bigger so it didn't exactly work as planned. Neither of the girls were really in the picture taking mood.  I am still glad I took them though :)

These are also could technically be Claire's one year photos as well!

Family Pictures 2014

The last time we had family picture was in September 2012! I didn't want to get any last year because I was VERY pregnant and they would be soon outdated. I meant to get some taken earlier in the year, but life happens and well it didn't get done!

It's so fun to see our family grow! It's incredible and SAD how much kids change so quickly!

(last family photo)

I had to reminisce this photo... she stuck her finger in there so hard that it made him bleed and he still has problems with that ear!

So thankful to have photography friends to ask to take pictures for us :) She took the photos and I did the editing because that's the hardest part! We took them in September (I think?) and I just finished them up the other day.

Well here we are!

Devin and Brittney's Wedding Part 3

The last and final post from their wedding! The night before they had an open house for friends and family to come visit! 

NOW they are finally actually married. It was a crazy and hectic day at the temple so group photos were fun with the kids. They were ready to be done!

We did the best we could :) Only Sophie wasn't in the picture and hid behind grandpa! AND I spent weeks looking for wedding shoes and changed into my flats and forgot to put them back on..... #ohwell

AND that's a wrap. Congrats you guys... we love you!

Devin and Brittney's Wedding Part 2

Now onto the day BEFORE the wedding when we did their formal pictures. We did a few with the kids at first too and then sent them away with grandma so we could finish up with just Dev and Brit. They turned out beautiful!
