Sneak Peak-Photographing My Second Wedding

On Saturday I photographed my second wedding (Mason & Amanda Heeringa). I love taking photos and watching two people begin their life together....they are a very sweet, fun loving couple and I am so thankful they chose me to capture their amazing day! Being my second wedding I was VERY nervous, but I get nervous before ANY photo session I do...A big thanks to my amazing cousin Lindsay Tinklenberg for assisting me with everything on the wedding day....Here are a few of my favorite shots...

Our Night Away

Anyone who knows me, knows I have a hard time leaving my kids...I am with them 24/7 and they are my life...My sister always tells me I need to get out and leave them for a bit soooo...for my birthday, Kelli, my mom and my step dad got me and Deven a night stay out at Semiahmoo...I have only left Kolby 1 night of his life (for Deven's 30th bday) and back then I could barely handle leaving him...this time, I was all for it! After 2 kids I needed a break! I woke up Saturday morning with Kolby's cold but I was determined to feel good and healthy...it was VERY hard. Kelli stayed with the kids at our house and we enjoyed a night away. We checked in around 4and ordered some strawberries and champagne...when room service came, to our suprise, my mother-in-law had sent a beautiful bouquet of flowers, champagne and a basket of fruit, crackers, cheese and meat...it was amazing! We went to dinner at Stars(very good restaurant at resort) and enjoyed it very much...after dinner we headed over to Packers (lounge) to have a drink and listen to the live band (which wasn't really our style of music, but the people dancing were very entertaining!). This morning we had a wonderful breakfast and made our way back to our kids...It was very relaxing and something Deven and I must do every few months. It happened to be our 5 year anniversary since we have been together too so that was really fun :) Here are a few pics I took of our room, the beautiful sunset (we watched at dinner) and the beautiful bouquet of flowers. I highly recommend Semiahmoo for anyone who needs/wants a special weekend away!

Kolby & Kamryn

I tried to take some photos of the kids together...It didn't go too well but here are a few shots!

My New Job...

This week I started watching our friend's(Roy and Nicki Fischlin)little boy...His name is Royce and he is so cute! He will be 3 months old next week and both of my kids enoy his company. Kolby loves babies and is always trying to entertain Royce and Kamryn...On Monday (Royce's First day) Kolby got acquainted with him and taught him how to roar like a lion. Kamryn tries to roll over to him to say hi when they are on the floor together and gives him her flirty smiles and coos. When Royce cries, Kolby stands in front of him and claps his hands and says "O-Tay!" over and over...it's pretty funny! We have only had him 2 days so far but it has gone really well and I am beginning to think I may have a 3rd of my own! hahaha...not soon though :) Here are some photos I took on our days with him...A perk for his mom is all the photos I will take of him...He will be another model for me to practice on!
