"A happy family is but an earlier heaven." - George Bernard Shaw

Delighted, pleased, glad, joy, a smile; what comes to mind when you think of happy?  There may be many things when someone asks you what makes you happy.  For little miss Bree, I think I'm safe in saying she would respond with shoes.  For Calvin, anything within reach that he can get his hands on.  This is one happy family.  These shots make me smile.  

What a fun day!  What a great thing to be able to see you all in your home environment and how much fun you have together as a family!  Bree is a blast in such a small package and so candid!  And you can already tell her and Calvin will be best friends (most of the time)!  Wonderful day with a beautiful family = success!

"Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile." 

-Franklin P. Jones

Each couple has their own story, their own fairytale.  No one couple exactly the same.  Some begin their fairytale when they are young and some when they are older.  Each unique to each of them.  And thank goodness.  My job would be quite bland without every unique wedding, perfectly portraying that couple.  

What a beautiful family you three have!  I so enjoyed the laughter and joy of the night.  I don't think I've been to a wedding where I've done more smiling.  You're so perfect for each other and your daughter, the perfect blend of the both of you.  I am blessed to have been a part of your day.  Congratulations!

It is indeed ironic that we spend our school days yearning to graduate and our remaining days waxing nostalgic about our school days.  ~Isabel Waxman

All of those days you wake up and wish you didn't have to go to school, go by much too quickly.  Enjoy it Senior.  Those days are almost over and the days to look back with fond memories to begin.  And then a new life to begin.

It is rare that I am so intimidated by people that I take photos of, but goodness!  You have it all.  Athletic, creative, shining personality, gorgeous!  There's not a thing missing.  It was amazing coming to your home town and being in the gym where you would have so many memories.  Your future is so bright!

True love stories never have endings.  ~Richard Bach

I know I've said it before but engagements photos are some of my favorites.  The couples are so relaxed, much more so than on the day of the wedding.  The excitement shows on their faces.  From the day he asked you, there's a new glow. 

Where do I begin?  You are such a relaxed, fun couple.  From the skateboard to the ease of your conversation, you both emulate the love you feel for each other.  The beauty in the pictures isn't just in the scenery.  You have a beautiful future ahead of you!  Congratulations!

A child fills the hole in your heart that you never knew was there.

Smiles, giggles and so many more expressions to catch.  Out of all of the stages in life, all the changes that have taken place in this very short year, have taken you to this birthday.  Bring on the second year because you've got this one mastered.

 

Oh El-bug!  You are so grown up.  So much energy and spunk for such a tiny package! What a gift you are.  You gave me a run for my money this shoot.  I hope daddy liked the camo session as much as I did.  You didn't like sitting in the boot much but you fit!  I must say, a girl who can tear into a cake like that is a girl after my own heart!  You have all the charm of dad and the quick wit of mom!  You're bound to be a lil rock star!  Happy 1st Birthday!

Love makes a family.

-Gigi Kaeser

Nothing's better than seeing two people in love joining together to form a fantastic new family!  Weddings have always been unique and special to each couple and had their own touches of their relationship.  It's what makes their special day their own.  

I think your pictures say it all!  You are such a fun couple and family and your wedding demonstrated that.  You compliment each other so well and make such a wonderful pair.  I may be a bit biased but I think that from your very first date, I knew this was a perfect match!  Congrats to you both and your new, wonderful family!
