The Little [New] Things

Sometimes, it's the "little things"in life that can perk up your day. In this case, getting some new [reading] glasses did that for me. I know, they're only reading glasses. I haven't had glasses of any kind since I was 7 though, so these were a nice change of pace for me! [Just to clarify: I actually do need them; they're not for looks. ;)]

I've never been great about self-portraits, but my new little glasses inspired me to take a few! They were completely informal and spur-the-moment, but I like the way some of them came out!

Sister, Sister

My sweet baby sister is now 11. Where has the time gone?! She asked for a photo shoot for her birthday, and I couldn't resist! We took a 30 minute "break" during her party to shoot these pictures. I'm so happy she'll have them to remember her special day!

Segway Swag

I don't normally put photos up from my phone, but this experience was too hilarious to pass up as a blog post. (True confession: I actually brought my camera with, but realized half-way through the tour that I didn't have a memory card in it. Photographer fail.)

My boyfriend Calum and I went on a segway tour this week. It's probably one of the nerdiest things I will ever do (next to Geocaching), but it was worth it! It was a gorgeous morning to spend cruising the city; sunny, warm, not too busy, and Lake Michigan's water was sky blue!

I hope you will all appreciate the orange helmets....I know I sure do.

I'm really excited for a couple blog posts coming up this next week! Stay tuned!

Christian & Stephanie

It was such a blessing to be a part of Christian and Stephanie's wedding day. I've known their families since I was literally a toddler! The day was full of beauty; the weather was warm and sunny,  Stephanie's dress held a sentimental story (it was made from her mother's wedding gown & incorporated a piece of her grandfather's old t-shirt), and the ceremony was centered around Christ and His love for us.

Christian and Stephanie have such a special bond and photographing them together was a joy. They radiate affection and happiness! Through the tears, laughter, nerves, and emotion, the day was truly wonderful. May God bless your new life together. :)
