Just two short years ago, we sent a very happy child off to 1K preschool. 4 hrs a day was great for her and us! It’s hard to believe that she just started 3K this week. Where has the time gone? The fact that she is going to seem so grown when we bring the twins home soon is even harder. There will never be another like her for sure. She is her own person and she is very good at it!
Here is the first day of 1K in 2008

and here is her first day this week….


One of the hardest things to blog for us is anything that might be construed as bragging. With that being said, Wesley entered the Emerge photo competition for wedding photographers recently in May. This was an international competition created to bring up and coming mostly unnoticed talent into the spotlight to be recognized in the international wedding industry. It was sponsored and judged by some of the leading wedding industry professionals such as Rebecca Crumley from The Knot Magazine, and world-renowned wedding photographer Joe Buissink. There were 5 categories to enter, and 3 winners were chosen from each category for a total of 15 winners out of well over 1000 entries. We were quite honored and shocked to get the notification that Wesley had finished 2nd place in the “details” category with 10 images he took at Ginny & Brad’s Carillon wedding in January of 2010. He won some great new photography toys and equipment, as well as being profiled in the international photography magazine “Rangefinder” in an upcoming issue. We are very proud of him! We are also thankful to Carillon Weddings and Christina at Nouveau for providing those amazing details!


Greetings everyone! We are just returning from a destination wedding in Key Largo, FL. I promise that July is going to be blog month! We have about 5 sneak peeks from the last 2 weeks coming up, and then we’re going into warp speed for the blogging of some beautiful May weddings. We are also launching our new website which is going to be a major achievment and possibly allow Wes to grow some of his hair back. So… put your seatbelts on, prep yourself with a tropical drink, and for now enjoy these two photos Wes snapped at the Key Largo Hilton last week as a storm rolled in.



A year and a half ago, 2 special people made an appearance in our lives. Heather became a teacher at Avery’s preschool while her husband Jason was in the flight training program at NAS whiting field. A relationship between us emerged, and before we knew it they were keeping Avery for us in times of need and taking care of her as if she were theirs. It was always a comfort for us to know she was in good hands while we were away for the night or just the afternoon. Jason graduated from flight school last week, and the Coast Guard is sending them back to their home state of Michigan for a while where he will be flying helicopters and rescuing those in need of his help. They also are expecting triplets this Fall. Yes, triplets
They are going to be wonderful parents and we cannot wait to photograph all five of them hopefully next year. They have been a blessing and a God send in our lives. This post is dedicated to them……
We’ll start with Jason’s winging ceremony last week….

There was no way we were going to let them leave town without a few belly photos…
Of course Avery loves them as well….
From the dressy occasions…..
To the afternoons on the river….(yes, even the broken down boat)
We’ll miss you guys….. Hope to see you soon and meet all 3 babies!
