Aunt Gayle is one of my mom's sisters, and I have lots of fun memories with this family, including camp-outs in the back yards, sledding down Uncle Kevin's luge, canoe trips down the river, playing toby for hours, fishing, us girls hiding from the boys ;) and so many others. This year they all were able to make it up to our house for Thanksgiving, and so we took a quick time-out after dinner to shoot a few family pictures. We're very blessed to have such a great extended family! Love you all!

Once, a long time ago, I traveled to California to shoot a wedding with my friend Katherine of Katherine Alison Photography . It was a super gorgeous day and beautiful wedding, and I thought I'd share a couple of my favorites. You can find more of their images on Kate's website.

{I was enjoying looking at these images even more today given all the snow we have on the ground ;) }

In the process of going through all of my images from 2013, I realized I'd never shared Anthony and Cindy's awesome July wedding! So here they are!

Anthony and Cindy's wedding was so fun to be a part of, because everything was so them. From the ceremony being at 4:17, to the bridesmaids have clutches made out of ties, or the groomsmen and all their funky sunglasses, the two of them had thought through every detail. The wedding and reception was outside at Cindy's dad's property and everyone pitched tents and had fun the whole day! 

Thank you two again, for choosing me to be part of your special day!
