Josie-age 5

My good friend and I took a hike with her daughter, age 5,  to this gorgeous spot, aptly named, “God’s Carpet.”  We brought along Josie’s grandmother’s vintage cocktail dress, which she often plays dress-up in, and I captured some cute shots of her dancing. And, check out the huge tree we found along the way!

This is my beautiful 2nd cousin, Tamara, and her husband, Joey. Tamara is 8 months pregnant in these pictures! I just had to add the “cheesy” heart silhouette pic! 😉 The quilt in these photos was made by Tamara’s great-great grandmother (my great-grandmother).

I recently posted a blog about family photos. I wanted to share a photo I took of my mother, Helen, last Thanksgiving. She is one of the youngest, most active 74-year-old women I know (as is her twin sister, Dorothy)! You can see a few photos of them in the old photos I posted previously.

I want to acknowledge my mom for being so supportive of me in pursuing my love for photography and gifting me several cameras over the years (not to mention her support in some of my other endeavors)!

Thanks Mom, I really appreciate everything you do for me!

My mom, Helen

I asked the bride to share how she and her groom met. They are such a cute couple! :

“I had a crush on him in middle school, but he swears we did not really know each other. My first day of freshman year, a girl stopped me in the hallway to lipstick me (it is a tradition they used to have at my high school). Justin stopped and lipsticked me as well and then we ended up going to the same class right afterwards. We talked for a week and then he asked me to be his girlfriend. We have been together for seven years. There have been some rough patches, but we made it through, and I could not be happier. We haven’t even been married a week, but I already know he is going to be the most amazing husband.”
