Lisa & Bryce - Wedding

They finally made it! Congratulations!!! Their pictures were a lot of fun to edit and I hope you like them.
















They had a lot of cool vehicles to use at their wedding. This bullet bike made for some really fun pictures.



Mmmm, ice cream and cotton candy. The kids sure loved it!



They rode away in an original 1930's Pontiac. Unfortunately, I don't know the model name, but it was one very classy car.

Maddie

Here are some newborn pictures of Maddie. For a while there, I almost thought that we weren't going to get any of her, but luckily we found a day that worked out. It's been a busy few weeks for everybody.





Notice the Mom Loves You sticker in the bottom-left corner of the next two pictures. This is Kira's handiwork. She did a really good job sewing blankets for both Brinley and Maddie.



Here older sister Brinley is sitting quietly (which was very welcome) watching Spongebob Squarepants. She really loves that show.

Lilly (Part 1)

I took some pictures of Lilly Jane (my newest niece) yesterday and it was a lot of fun. I had to drop my car off to have it inspected and while I was waiting, I went to my brother's house which was just down the street. It was an impromptu visit and so I only got a few pictures, but I'll definitely be back. I've got ton of new ideas and I can't wait to see how they turn out.




After we took a few pictures, Lilly began to be fussy, so a little bottle went a long way to calming her down.


This is one of my favorites.



I had my equipment all packed up and then I saw her just relaxing on her mom's shoulder and I couldn't resist the photo op right in front of me.



She let out a few smiles during our shoot, but I was only able to grab part of one, and this is it.

Lisa

It's been a while since I posted some bridals, so here are Lisa's.







My little sister Angie did the flowers. She's really good! I just hope my picture can do her flowers justice.

Last week my family went to Bear Lake and I was kind of bummed when my sisters went home after only one day. There were lots of uncles and aunts and then cousins that are 15 - 20 years younger than me, so I was afraid that I would be on my own, sort of. Well, I was very pleasantly surprised to see that on the day my sisters left for home, my brother and sister-in-law showed up with their three boys, my favorite (and only) nephews. My nephews are always fun to take pictures of and this trip was no exception. We went to the Minetonka Cave and it was the first time for the boys. The pictures turned out awesome.






Max has a sort of leash made of a Curious George bag. It's so funny, and it was perfect for this trip. In the cave, he of course wouldn't hold still and so the picture turned out like this. I think it's perfect.


Max got to touch the one formation in the whole cave that we were allowed to touch.


Caleb and Jason under one of the bigger formations. I couldn't tell you what it was called, but I'm sure that 4-year-old Caleb could tell you exactly what it is called - I've been through it five+ times and he knows more of it than I do after his first tour.




Caleb was dancing because he got to hike down the mountain with his grandma and the bigger kids.




Grandma's candy bracelts worked like a charm. This is when Caleb rode down with Grandma because her van was cooler than his parents van. It was totally worth the extra 10 minutes it took to set up the seats.


Max's dirty feet.


Max fell asleep as soon as he sat down. Come to think of it, I probably did too.



But Jacob was wide awake.


Max is a drinker. Every time I see him, he's always taking his water bottle with him and he's drinking whatever he can find. I guess that makes it hard to part with your water bottle.
