Introducing Reid

Reid is the sweetest little baby! He might be a baby model as he totally cooperated as we moved him around and changed his outfits!

Reid's mom is so in awe of him. I love seeing new parents with their little ones. Reid paid attention to the camera from the very first shot!

Always have to get a shot of the little feet.

Reid really seemed to like this position! It's so cute how babies just curl in when you lay them on their belly.

Hello Reid! Your eyes are so handsome!

He found me again!

Look at Reid's little crinkly forehead! Isn't it adorable?!

Love this photo! Pure joy on Brenna's face.

Reid checking out his mobile or I guess he's looking at me!

All moms get the sway (the movement you make when holding your child and rocking back and forth). I think it's such a beautiful thing that it seems to be engrained into us women.

Reid trying to say hi!

Biiiiiig yawn!

Reid's grandparents bought this at an antique market. They bought it before any of their kids were expecting! I think that's hilarious and I'm so glad they did get it! It made for some wonderful photos!!!

And Reid seems to love it too.

Totally out!

He wasn't too happy at the end of the session.

More feet! :) I can't get enough!

Congrats to your new addition! He is so adorable!

Engaged: Beth & Josh

We hear stories all the time of how couples met. All of them are touching, hilarious or embarrassing. It is so funny to see how couples come together.

Beth and Josh are no exception to this! They met in church by being set up with Josh's now sister-in-law. Beth went to take her seat in a graceful manner, stepped on Josh's foot with high heals, tripped and fell right into Josh's lap! She swears it wasn't on purpose! Hmmm... :) I love what Beth says about it, "I was so embarrassed but it was a great ice breaker as we busted out laughing right away. And we've been laughing together every day since."

I'd say so! They laughed so much during their engagement session. Pat and I laughed right along with them!

Oh and they looove to kiss!

I love this series of photos. They always say you can tell so much by body language. I think Beth might like Josh! What do you think? :)

Love love love!

These two are going to be an amazing bride and groom!

More laughter!

They were totally up for any of the weird places Pat and I had in mind for a photo opp. Gotta love that!

These two also can't keep their eyes off of each other!

These two photos would look awesome as canvases next to each other on a wall!

Anyone want to nap in the shade?!

Beth and Josh are super into baseball. So we walked down to Victory Field while a game was going on. They had to trouble kissing in front of everyone passing by!

Why the bats? We told them to be funny and bring a prop!

Thanks for a wonderful evening! We can't wait for October!

The Union: Kristen & Brandon

Kristen and Brandon were so much fun on their wedding day. Kristen was calm and relaxed as she got her hair and makeup done. The hotel room was filled with laughter and jokes as the day grew closer to the ceremony. Meanwhile, the guys spent the morning racing go carts. Isn't it always funny to see what the guys do on their wedding day while the ladies all get ready?!

The day was gorgeous and Kristen and Brandon's wedding party was an absolute blast! We all laughed so much! There was a chaise lounge carried outside, wrestling belts brought out for props and some hilarious posing from the whole wedding party!

Kristen and Brandon were also married by the same pastor that married Pat and I! It was cool to see Keith do another ceremony and we love how personal he makes the message to the couple. It brought back a lot of memories for us!

I realized the other day that I have been completely leaving out the wedding details for our wedding posts! Oh my! Sorry about that! Let's start that back up now!

Pat arrived in the morning at Fast Times to find the guys in high competitive mode. Racing is a great way to start your wedding day!

While the guys played the ladies got ready!

Some of the cool details.

The ladies were an absolute hoot! I have no clue what someone said to make them all laugh so much but whatever it was it worked! :)

Kristen you are stunning! And everyone, check out her jeweled headband! I love it!

There's nothing wrong with taking some furniture outside right?

The guys were all looking snazzy in their tuxes.

The guys!

Brandon had commentary the entire time we took his photos. His groomsmen wouldn't leave him alone! It was hilarious!

We love this photo of Brandon's reaction to seeing Kristen for the first time!

A sweet hug from Dad.

A little smooching in the chapel.

Here's that super fun wedding party!!!

You two are awesome together!!!

Look at Brandon checking out Kristen!

Some of the details of their reception!

Congrats Kristen and Brandon!!! We hope the move this weekend goes smoothly!!!

Expecting: Megan & Bill

I just spent some time searching for old high school photos and didn't come up with anything good. I must have placed all the photos someplace so I could find them later and guess what - now I can't find them! So I'm sparing you the photos of Megan and I when we were in high school and instead will just focus on Bill and Megan! :)

Megan has been one of my best friends for as long as I can remember. We have our fair share of hilarious stories, inside jokes and dances and soon we'll both be moms! Megan is such an awesome friend and always knows how to be there for you while at the same time making you laugh.

Megan and Bill are going to be such fun parents! Whenever Bill is around Zane giggles like crazy and just loves him! I have a feeling their house will be filled with tons of laughter!

How could it not be when this is the first photo I took of Megan at our session? Ha!

Sorry Megs, had to post it!

Bill said something funny!

Work it with that belly!

These two crack me up!

Being pregnant in June can be hot! Cooling off!

We're all wondering if the baby will have red hair like Bill!

Love these next shots of Megan's baby belly.

Just your average weekday chillin in an alley! :)

Ha! Again, had to Megan! Strike a pose!

Bill and Megan's cheesy pose.

And then some serious posing.

Serious is hard to pull off when they laugh so much!

What better way to cool off than with ice cream?

This is my favorite series!

Megan and Bill, we just love you two (three!)! We can't wait to meet the baby and have Zane teach them all the bad things they need to know! :) You are going to be amazing parents!!!

Special Delivery for Zane

Several weeks ago (yes I'm that behind on personal blogging!) Zane had a special delivery. Our doorbell rang and I opened the door to see the package on our doorstep. We saw our friend Jon speeding out of our cul-de-sac. Pat and I already knew what was inside so we waited for Zane to wake up from his nap. Zane could not believe what was in the box! His very own DRUM!

He knew what to do with it right away! His face lit up like it was Christmas morning! When we told him who dropped it off, that Jon and the guys from the Tyler Bender Band, gave it to him he went through and said every one of their names and kept yelling DRUMS!!! The next morning he woke up and wanted to know if his drum was still here. He ran into the great room and literally did a dance around the drum singing "Drum's still here!"

So now our house is filled daily with the beat of this drum. Thank you to the guys who helped take the sound down a bit with some tape and the right drum sticks! It's still pretty loud but it doesn't bother us at all. If Zane loves it why not foster it? We just have to keep him from using the drumsticks on everything else in our house!

Thank you guys for an awesome gift! He was already your number one fan but I think you guys jumped to total rock star status with him!
