What does a parent do with three wild days of freedom while the kids are away at “Gramp Camp”? Why, she blogs about them, of course. Looking into each sweet sun-kissed face, practically hearing the laughter in their play (conveniently forgetting the messes associated with potty-training and the endless bouts of whining just a few hours ago as we were pushing them out the door). But then, I guess that’s just the plight of a parent. Gritting your teeth to get through to the end of the day, holding tightly to your heart while they’re away.
Summer to me, is a misery. That happens when you don’t like to sweat. But to kids, it’s magical. I remember that. I know the delight behind these eyes, the joy of discovering this new, bright squirting ball of fun. 
Because when you’re young, it’s all about possibility.
And the smallest experiences make you happy.
like playing in dirty bird bath water….
And you’re not yet to the age of worrying about your thighs, tan lines, or the funky frizzy way your hair will look when it dries.
You’re just experiencing the sweet spot in life… and when you get older, it’s so much more difficult to find. Which is why… we have kids…
and why I miss mine.

Too many weddings in a row may have made me nutty in the head, but then, some of my best photo ideas come from that crazy place! So the question is this: was I just super-creative thinking about a dog’s view of dinner in this picture, or did it occur to me because I was collapsed – exhausted – on the floor? I’ll never tell.

As wedding photographers, David and I often go into the day wondering, “What’s this one going to be like… sweet? funny? crazy?”. And then there are the weddings when you’re given a big clue right up front that just tells you that this day? It’s going to be (say it with me now)… Super!
Now back to the beginning….
I’m crazy about this series of pictures! Susan looks like she came straight out of a 50’s pin-up calendar. Gorgeous!
The first look.
We loved having such a fun & willing-to-do-anything wedding party (did someone say Chinese Fire Drill?).
It’s just rude to take attention away from the bride on her wedding day, but this guy? He couldn’t help those yummy munchable cheeks!
Such an innocent face from the flower girl, who fifteen minutes before the ceremony stripped herself down to her diaper and didn’t want to wear that dress! 
If only this blog had audio… you’d be jammin’ to a little Vanilla Ice!
Thank you to Susan & Brandon and their families for letting us document this important moment in their lives. May your marriage be as beautiful as your day.

You know how with engagement photos you’re supposed to see all the sweetness and romance? Well, as it turns out there’s another side to that picture… especially when it’s your mom getting married!
Good thing Susan’s got a fiance who’s so serious….
Ah… now the sweetness starts!
We feel so blessed to have the opportunity to photograph Susan & Brandon’s wedding this weekend. This is one girl who is lucky to have not one, but two guys to love (and is obviously so adored herself).

It was such a pleasure to photograph the wedding of Cassie and Robby this weekend. Every wedding seems to have it’s own personality, and this one was pure joy… from the first bobby pin to the last bubble, it was a day filled with laughter, tears and lots and lots of love. Just look at the pictures. You’ll see.
The wedding and reception were held at the Vesica Pisces Chapel in the Tulsa area. Gorgeous spot!
Wouldn’t the world be a happier place if everyone did milkshake toasts at their wedding?
To the Tyler and Riggs families – thank you for inviting us to share in this special day. We left saying that this is the kind of relationship we hope for our own children. To the wedding guests – check back here in a couple weeks for the entire online gallery. Have your password ready!

Why, catching the groom of course! Such a sweet new tradition for best men everywhere… really demonstrates the caring relationship between close friends. Oh, Okay. It’s not REALLY real. With Photoshop you can’t believe anything you see these days. Especially pictures of me. I always make myself look good. : ) Here’s how it really happened:
Dave’s first picture…
Of this.
Dave’s second picture…
of this.
We layered the groom’s pic on top of the best man…
A little erasing, up to full opacity, crop… and done! A sweet moment between friends. Ready to hang in the new couple’s home. Big. Probably on canvas. In the bedroom.

You really shouldn’t hate Cassie and Robby because they’re gorgeous. You should hate them for how in love they are. And yes, of course I’m joking (not about the love – obviously – but about the hating part). They are two of the sweetest people ever, and their relationship is so effortless. So sincere… made it oh so easy to photograph them.
So the question is this: What do you do when your location photo shoot starts getting hit with rain? Well first, you keep going as long as you can (this shot was taken from under an umbrella – unfortunately, since I didn’t have any free hands, it was stuck down the front of my shirt – yea, real cute). Of course when the downpour starts…
you retreat back to the house. There’s a reason I’m showing you a wide shot of my kids’ messy playroom. It’s got great light, and as I will say over and over again, it’s not about the location as much as the light. See the shot below we took on this couch.
Stunning. I would eat bugs for that profile… it’s Ali McGraw-ish (does anyone under the age of 40 know what that means?). I love my 50mm @2.8. 
We finally saw the sun in the distance and drove around chasing it… an adventure session this was! After the time spent with Cassie & Robbie, I’m sure that’s only a preview of their new life together. One adventure after another. Lots of love. Lots of fun.
Our thanks to Cassie and Robbie for their endless patience during the session. You were a pleasure to spend the afternoon with and we are looking forward to your wedding this weekend!
