Beautiful Baby Isabella

So I've been EXTREMELY busy with being down in Indiana visiting and helping my sister out as much as possible, but I am making time to post some photos that I was able to capture yesterday in the rush of things. It seems that when you have a baby EVERYONE wants to come by and see them, which I don't blame them especially seeing the beautiful baby Isabella is. I have to say that being around her as much as I have makes me wonder if she is a "normal" baby. She is a tiny little baby first of all, but she's so content with life. She can sleep through anything and rarely cries...and I don't know if crying is the right word for it, because there are never tears... she just gets a bit fussy when she's either of the three: hungry, cold, or has a dirty diaper. She's awesome! I'm enjoying being here and enjoying the time I can spend with both my sister and Bella.

A big CONGRATULATIONS to such a beautiful family! I love you guys so much and thank you for being such a great family! I know that Isabella is in great hands and will be the luckiest kid on the block with parents like you two!





She is so tiny in her HUGE crib!



She does this face a lot... and it's so cute!



Tired Baby...



This face doesn't happen often, but sure is cute when she does... and she's not loud at all!



Just Precious!



Their family has grown into such a beautiful one... love you guys!!









As small as her feet may look, her feet and hands are actually the biggest things on her.

Another Vacation...

Well... I'm back in Indiana visiting my family again, but this time I'll be here for 10 days. I'm so excited! Todd is here with me until Saturday evening, but will have to go back to his job... BOOO! So it'll be just my sister and I since everyone else works during the week. But I'm excited to be able to help where I'm needed and get to hang out without worrying about the mass amount of photos I should be editing.

Both my sister and Isabella are doing great and were able to come home yesterday. She's so tiny it's amazing to see that she is just a little person. I told my sister that she was just a little "boring" because all she does is eat and then goes to sleep...so she's very entertaining yet! Haha...I'm sure that will change soon enough though. I was totally kidding about that though!

Hopefully I'll post some photos of her since I'll have time to do some pictures of her. I'll keep everyone posted, and will be back next week!

I just want to post this photo to remind my LOVING husband that he needs to wait to see this before I get back, so I can see it with him. Hint Hint... don't go see it without me!

Happy Batman to everyone else! Have a great last week of July... where did it go?

Mr. & Mrs. Mitchell

I was so excited for this weekend. Not only was it the back to the back of the weddings, but it was such a good time! I was nervous earlier in the day because it poured so hard that our whole street was flooded, and I would be a bit disappointed if all I could do was just do indoor photos. But once the ceremony was over and it was time for us to do photos outside... it was PERFECT out! And what could make that weather even better.... a GREAT couple and bridal party. Jeremy & Amy and their whole wedding party was awesome... so fun and sweet. I especially loved how I had a huge special connection with Amy the beautiful bride... she was super easy to get along with and at the end of the night I felt like we were just good friends hanging out. They both were so special... the whole day was special... and you could tell they have touched so many people's lives. Their ceremony was filled with a great message that touched hearts... and I'm not sure how many dry eyes were left in church... it was so emotional! I was so grateful to be a part of it.

Thank you Jeremy and Amy for allowing us to be a part of such a wonderful day... we know that we will cherish your wedding and wish you nothing but the best!

Her bouquet was beautiful... lots of color!









Look at all those handsome men there...



And all the beautiful girls there...









They all drove away in old fashioned cars... which was really unique!



And Jeremy's family collects old Hudson cars... how cool is that!!!



Such a beautiful couple...











I couldn't believe that this cake was made by a family member... it was beautiful!



They were so happy...

ISABELLA SOPHIA IS HERE.....

SHE'S HERE!!!!

As most of you know if you read up on here often that my one and only sister was about to have her first baby, well although she is a few weeks early, she's here and she's gorgeous! At her last Dr. appt. they told her that she was running out of fluid and she would need to be taken out early, and they scheduled to take her out on Monday. Well... little did they know that in order to not do any harm they needed to do an unexpected surgery on Friday. We got the call Friday and although we were going to be in a wedding we got updates and once she was born we got photos, and we were so happy and felt like we were THERE for them to support them in their excitement and joy! So... Isabella Sophia was born on July 18th, 2008 at 3:28 PM weighing 4 lbs. 7 oz and 18 in long. She's a small baby, but she's a beauty!

After the wedding Saturday, we made the haul down to Indiana to visit them all on Sunday. I was SOOOO excited I could barely sleep. We got up went over to the hospital and they told us that her temperature was down so they had to keep her warm. I was able to hold her for a few minutes before they had to take her back to the warmer. But hey... I'm ok with that! She was so tiny and I'm not sure the photos even do justice to how small she is. She has like 4 or 5 blankets on and all you can see is her little head.

Todd and I plan on going down this coming week and I'm going to stay for almost two weeks!!! Yeah!! I'm so excited, and I'm sure there will be more photo because I was not able to many due to her temperature being too low. But I wanted to update everyone and show just a few photos that we were able to take.

Sisterly love with Isabella...



Bella in her MANY blankets... one of those include the famous weiner dog blanket... LOVE IT!

Congrads to Our Amazing Friends!

Our good friends Melanie & Ryan committed their life together this past Saturday and we couldn't be happier for them! We were honored to be a part of their wedding, and no we were not their photographers, they asked us to read scripture in their wedding and we were so happy to. I know both Todd and I were happy to just enjoy the day with them. It was nice to meet all of their AWESOME family and friends, and get to hang out with them not only at the wedding but the rehearsal the previous day! They were so sweet and so genuine! I can now see why Melanie and Ryan are such great people.

Congrads you guys... we are so thrilled and can't wait to hang out again!

Here we are in our color coordinated outfits... we did not originally plan it, but we found a purple shirt and just went with it!



I have decided that my point and shoot camera takes the worst quality photos EVER! But you can see just how great both Melanie and Ryan look!

Mr. & Mrs. Mohmand

This past weekend we had back to back weddings, which is so exciting because I LOVE shooting weddings. Someone asked me the other day if I ever got tired of it, and my answer right away was "NO WAY!" Every one we do is so different, plus it's different people, different personalities, different chemistry, different details, etc... I would never get tired of it, however my body might... haha! I try not to think about that too much because I know it does take a toll on my body.

Friday night we spend it with Kaveh & Jenny. They were SOOO cute and SOOO sweet together! It's so fun to hear the groom talk so highly of their bride that day, and Kaveh was no stranger about talking about his beautiful bride. It always seems to remind me of our wedding, which makes me smile because I know what they are feeling. Their bridal party was super fun, and once that dancing started everyone was breaking it down... HIL-arious! We had such a good time being involved with their wedding, and were so happy to be apart of it.

Congratulations Kaveh & Jenny... Enjoy Maui... what a great place to spend your honeymoon!





Her girls were so sweet...



And his guys were so funny...





















I have to give credit to Todd on this shot... he's so good at getting great shots of the cake and their cake. He did an EXCELLENT job on this one... makes you want to eat it... mmmm...!!!





They were so cute cutting their cake... and so incredibly happy!



When the sun started to set, we ran outside to do just a couple shots of it, and it was so worth it!
