I met up with this sweet couple yesterday to get some shots of just the two of them, no kids, totally low-key, laid back and a little bit country…before they get married next summer.    Sometimes you can just *feel* when a couple is in love – and these two were all that and more.  You can see the admiration, the love and the respect they have for each other by spending just 45 minutes with them.  And I can hardly wait to photograph their wedding!  I know this woman is going to be a STUNNING bride and that her day will have some spectacular little touches.

So, I have been on this vintage-kick over the past 6 months or so, and while I LOVE LOVE LOVE the soft, romantic look to many of my images, there are those that scream color…and well, many of these did just that.  I also loved the classic feel of the black and whites, so I guess there should be a little something for everyone in the mix.    And I had the hardest time narrowing these down for a blog post – they were just so dang cute!!

Thanks again to this duo; I am so excited for your big day!!

Speaking of big days, we just finished up my little man’s birthday party and we all had so much fun.  I took him in for his 2-year-check today and all was well…except that he had an ear infection we didn’t even know about.  I guess maybe there is a reason for his suddenly 2-year-old behavior after all??    I won’t hold my breath, but it did make some sense of the nightly wake-up calls and general crankiness that has blessed our lives for the past week or so.    Needless to say, this kid has so much to be proud of – from being potty trained for a few months (this was all him, not me!!), counting to 14, learning his ABC’s and some phonics, an incredible vocabulary and the sweetest little nature to boot (okay, there’s definitely some spice in there too!) – this kid melts me.  Yes, he can be your typical toddler who hates to share, lashes out with those pinching little fingers when things don’t go his way and is too quick for his own good, but the sweet kisses, constant cuddles and the kind little heart makes up for every moment of being “terribly two”.    I hope the 2′s slow down a little bit – I’m already missing my baby.
