Ok, Ok… I know I’ve been MIA again. I’ve definitely bitten off more than I can chew time-wise lately!

Anyway.

Y’all might remember this couple from last year… I took their engagement photos {kissing on the train} and they are just the sweetest, most easygoing couple! I just LOVE them.

Their big day finally came yesterday, and it was PERFECTION. No drama, no fuss, just an all-around amazing day! I feel so blessed to have been there to witness {and capture} it
along with my bestie Joanne. She is seriously awesome, people… and she saved my sanity more than once this weekend!

So without furthur ado… here are a few sneak peeks of the new Mr. & Mrs. Hulsey!

{yes… yes I AM thoroughly addicted to the fisheye!}

Thanks so much, Ellyn & Jon, for including me in your special day! You two are an amazing couple, and I truly truly wish you all the best in your new life together!

Just trying to catch up from last month, and failing miserable…

Love my nephew-men though.

and can you believe Max is 8 month old already?!

xoxo.

Wow, I’ve been “away” for far too long! It feels like forever since I’ve posted. Life has been so crazy busy, with school and work and the kids, I just can’t keep up on anything else.

So much has happened these past couple of months, I don’t know where to even start. So I’ll just go forward from here.

Miss K lost her first tooth a little over a month ago. Yep, she is growing up on me. She is losing her baby fat and her face is losing that “toddler” look… makes me so sad.

I finally got around to taking her out for a little bit yesterday, to take some shots of the toothless grin for posterity before that new tooth comes all the way in (it’s started already).

She is too sweet.

Sass!

Sorry for the photo overload, I just couldn’t narrow them down any more than this…

xoxo,
jess

Just a few from my magnolia tree… Spring is truly its most glorious time.

I had a little TOO much fun doing this… I’d better be careful, my dork is showing!

The Village PEEPle.

The ApprentPEEP. {aka, the boardroom with Donald Peep}

It’s official: my little girl is growing up.
She has her very first “wiggly” tooth!
I can’t believe it. *sigh*

I finally got my hands on some of that super-cool barnwood floor paper,
so I grabbed the girl and snapped a few shots of her on it before that tooth comes out.
For posterity, and all that.

And also ’cause I think she is uber-cute in her v-day jammies.

It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is.
And when you’ve got it, you want – oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do
want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!
~Mark Twain

Spring fever. Yep, I most definitely have it.

Ohmigosh.

I am BEYOND thrilled that the warmer weather is finally starting to creep back in!

I am NOT a winter person. Everything is so bleak and barren in the winter.

Sure, snow is pretty… but winter depresses me.

Spring always fills me with optimism for the future… everything is fresh and new, with all-new possibilities…

One of the things I look forward to every spring is watching my magnolia tree come back to life. I literally squealed
with excitement when I saw these bright pink blossoms bursting through those ugly, hairy pods!

On another note, it also means the yard is springing back to life again… including these yucky, prickly weed-thingies.
{yes, that is a technical term!}

No going barefoot for us until we get these under control! Yowch.

Ahhh… love. Isn’t it… lovely?

I had the privilege and pleasure of being asked to photograph our dear friends’ wedding this past Friday.
It was a simple, beautiful affair.
These two have been through more than most people could bear, and all in the past two weeks, and yet
they carry themselves with such poise and grace. They are the strongest people I know, and truly an example
for us all.

Congratulations, Julle Ann & Jesse! I hope you are having fun on your honeymoon in the mountains!

{I always adore capturing the look on the groom’s face as he sees his bride for the first time!}

{first dance… can you feel the love?}

Such a fun couple!

I saw a link to this quiz on Jeannette’s blog today, and had to see for myself.

Maybe this explains why I am always of two minds about everything, and have such trouble making decisions? LOL.
