Glenn and Kellie tie the knot :)

This past weekend was a big one for my family, my dad got married!!  He and his lovely bride got married at their beautiful house in Monroeville, NJ.  It is way out in the middle of no where, but it is an absolutely beautiful place for a wedding (I should know, I got married there almost 4 years ago ;) )  I was incredibly honored to be able to photograph their wedding, Kellie is an amazing woman, and she and my dad really compliment each other perfectly!  The could not have asked for a more perfect day, after threatening to rain all week, on Friday the forecast changed to 75 and sunny, thank goodness!  The ceremony was a perfect mixture of laughter and tears, there is no shortage of love between the two of them. :)  

A big congratulations to my Dad and Kellie, we are so happy for you!!! :)

Kellie's son Christian gave her away, how cute is that!?!

They were having a tear-ful moment and my dad messed up on his vows, haha, then apologized to the audience haha. 

Love the sass

I didn't take this one (I am the tall chick in center) but this is all of "the kids"

Hey Girl

This is my submission for the I Heart Faces contest "Hey Girl".  I just love my little lady's crazy hair and silly faces :)

My Future SIL :)

This little cutie pies parents are very good friends of ours.  Stacey and I always joked that we were going to be pregnant together, and our kids would be best friends.  We decided that we were both going to have girls.  As luck would have it... we ended up being pregnant at the same time, just within weeks of each other!  When we found out that Stacey was having a boy, and not a girl (as we had planned).. we then decided that we were going to have an arranged marriage on our hands.  I SO enjoyed taking my future son-in-laws pics.. I mean look at him!!!  He has to have the most bite-able cheeks out there!!!

Tiphiny and her Hope

Tiphiny and I have been friends for pretty much our whole lives.  We grew up living around the corner from each other, and met at a yard sale that her parents were having.  Tiphiny was 4, and I was 5 when we met, she was this super cute ball of energy that came running over to me and said "Were going to be friends now", I said, "OK", and the rest has been history.  Most of my childhood memories involve Tiphiny, I can honestly say she is one of the best people that I know, and I am so lucky to have a friend like her.  Through heart-aches, tragedies, happy moments, and international moves, Tiphiny and I have remained best buds.  I could go on and on singing the praises of Tiph, but I will spare you all of the sappy ins and outs of our awesome friendship and get down  to the pictures.  Tiphiny called me before my last trip home, and asked if I could take some pictures of her for Christmas presents, and also because she wanted pictures of her and her Hope, her uber-cuddly, super friendly pit rescue.  When people see Hope they get a little apprehensive because of the awful (and inaccurate) reputation of pits, but Hope is the sweetest, cuddliest, biggest lap dog I have ever met.  Below are some of the pictures from our photo-shoot.

Carter's Christmas Pics

While we were home this weekend for the wedding of very close friends of ours, I had the opportunity to photograph one of the CUTEST little boys in the whole world.  (go ahead, look at the pictures, you will not be able to disagree with me!) Carter's mommy (Kelli) and I have been best buds since 7th grade, so I may be biased, but I don't think so.  He is just so stinkin cute!  

WHAT is on my head!!!

The shoe was more appealing to him that any of the props we had

Carter being the boss 

Maybe I will try to eat one of these things

Sometimes you just really need a mommy hug!
