JOSEPH + AMANDA // ENGAGED

After almost every shoot, I drive away thinking THAT was my favorite session!

Joe & Amanda’s engagement shoot definitely falls into that category. I had a freaking blast taking their engagement photos and getting to know them before their big day. We’re kind of bummed that we didn’t meet sooner because we could’ve been good friends (we have a shared love for Napoleon Dynamite/Nacho Libre/New Girl, hashtags, and laughing, amongst other things). But alas, Joe & Amanda are leaving to go to school soon after they’re married so our #friendship will have to be #virtual #viaFacebook #andInstagram.

The best thing about this shoot was that they took me to the most beautiful area outside of Fairmont and showed me where they had their first kiss. It was pretty much the sweetest thing ever.

And meanwhile, Joe kept me and Amanda CRACKING UP non-stop. Hilarious with a capital H.

So, yeah, I LOVE MY JOB.

And her shoes.

Can’t wait for your #wedding, #JosephandAmanda. #YouGuysRock.

SELF PORTRAIT // MONTH TWO

You might remember that I told you about my goal to do one self-portrait a month this year (see here).

I love starting projects. It’s fun to start projects. It’s somewhat easy to start projects because I’m excited and eager.

But then real life hits. And fun projects sometimes take a backseat.

In this case, February hit.

Bringing with it three sick littles that needed lots of mommy love, mommy attention, and mommy snuggles.

I spent most of the month focused on getting my favorite people all better.

So here it is: my self-portrait for the month of February. Me with my little man at the doctor’s office. Taken with my iPhone using the CameraSharp app.

And although February won’t go down in the books as being a particularly FUN month, it was still a good month. I love my job as a mom.

Jane-o - It’s obvious you love your job as a mom and am I one very thankful grandmom that you do!!!! Another reason I’m thankful for YOU, and proof positive that God answers prayers from moms who love their kiddos and pray for them as soon as they arrive. You are one of the answers to those prayers for Todd so long ago; you know that, don’t you? :)
