Jen and Ed are just two of my most favorite people ever! What a better way to start off the week than with their wedding album? You might remember their awesome wedding up in Lake Tahoe last fall. It was just one of the most beautiful days with this amazing couple and all of their wonderful family and friends. Dustin and I had such an amazing adventure with these two. It was so fun to put together this SIXTY-SIX page album for them.

Have a look at all the layouts HERE or in the box below.

The Shipley’s are one heck of a rockin’ family. Dustin and I loved spending time a couple weeks ago getting to know them. We were so impressed with the beautiful home they grew up in and even more impressed with the amazing land behind the house that was full of DREAMY light. It was seriously like a dream come true! Great family, amazing light and beautiful spring afternoon. Honestly, it just doesn’t get better!

I really loved seeing a family fully grown, and expanding. It made me think of my own family, and how wild it is that we are all married and have kids. Seeing this mature family, and the beginning of the next generation of their family was just awesome. Josh and Sarah have a BEAUTIFUL baby girl, Rachel and she was such a treat to photograph. How could you not love her little cheeks? And it was so fun to photograph the couples too! From Mom and Dad to their baby girl and her handsome husband it was just a lot of fun!

Then even Moses, the family dog got in on the action. I love it when family pets get in on the action too. And Moses proved to be especially lovable

Thank you SOOOOO much to the Shipley’s for being so fantastic and so much fun. Dustin and I adored our time with you and hope to photograph you again soon! Check out their slideshow HERE or in the box below for more images from their lovely session

Dustin got a new toy this week. It’s been a long time coming, and honestly I am really excited for him to have this motorcycle. It’s a 2009 Limited Edition Yamaha YZF-R6 and it sure is pretty. It reminds me a lot of when Dustin and I first met. The only mode of transportation he had was his motorcycle in those days. And, it wasn’t what I would call a reliable bike. He was sad to sell it last summer, but it was for the best. Since he sold it though I don’t think 5 minutes has gone by without the thought of what a new motorcycle would be like. So, with his 30th birthday right around the corner I gave the green light on the sweet deal he managed to get this bike for. He brought it home Monday, and hasn’t stopped smiling since. Last night we went out and grabbed a few pictures of him and his bike (who is named Lil Rounds, after his favorite American Idol contestant.)

I guess there is just no better way to say thanks for being the best husband, best dad and best photographers assistant/second shooter EVER! I love you Dustin!
