Jarin and Megan Sneek Peak

We had such a great time shooting last Saturday.  It was an EXTREMELY windy day in Norman, Oklahoma, but such a great time.  Jarin and Megan were a great laid-back couple who were so easy to work with.  There were quite a few changes that happened on the day of the wedding - including where the bride got ready...but Megan handled it like a champ.  Here is a quick sampling of Saturday.  Look for more in a few days!

Beautiful London Faith

You know, every once and a while, you try to photograph a newborn who just isn't in the mood to sleep.  They can be fed and warm and still would rather stare at your camera than sleep.  Holly and I both knew that London was exhausted, but she just didn't want to doze off!  It's ok, though.  I think that we got some great shots.  We took so many that day trying to get a few of her and the perfect shot of the family, that it was really hard to narrow it down to just these few.  I'm happy though.  I think that London is on her way to being a beautiful young lady.

Welcome to the world, Camryn Anne!

So...last week was a crazy insane week.  Monday morning on my way to take my daughter to school, I got a call from my mom which informed me that my sister was in the hospital and (FINALLY) in labor.  Poor girl...this call followed her having contractions for about 4 or 5 days - fairly regularly.  So, I dropped Libby off and then went to north OKC for the labor.  It was a strange day!  First off, I've never been on the waiting side of things, so everything seemed to take much longer than I remembered it.  Next, we were surprised by Mac needing a C-section, so we got to deal with that whirlwind.  The best part?  Camryn was born around 4 pm, Monday May 10.  Mackenzie was rolled back into her room about 30 minutes later and Camryn came in about 10 minutes after that.  Mackenzie had JUST held her for...oh about 30 seconds...when her nurse came in to inform us that we needed to evacuate to the back halls of the hospital because bad weather was coming and there was a chance of a tornado.  Nice.

So, we not only got to welcome a beautiful new girl into the world, but we got to spend the first few minutes of her life in a back hallway of a hospital waiting for a tornado to pass.  Welcome to Oklahoma, right?? :)

But, despite it all, we have a beautiful new baby girl in the family.  Enjoy!

It is sweet moments like this that make me fall more in love with him.

My beautiful kids.

The happy family.  Aren't they perfect??

James and Rachel's Engagements!

We just shot these this last Saturday.  It was quite interesting.  Both James and Rachel were driving in from outside of OKC, so when there was a threat of rain, we just said, "Bring it on!"We had to head under shelter from the sprinkles about 2 or 3 times, but in between those times, we got some really great shots.

You know, you learn all kinds of things when you are in a car traveling to different places to take pictures.  I found out that James, in 8th grade, wrote an email to Rachel's mother, telling her that he was going to marry her daughter one day.  James said, "Yeah, at the time everyone thought I was crazy.  Little did they know I could tell the future!"  Bwahahaha!  Isn't that a great story?

We had so much fun.  Thanks for driving in, you guys!  I can't wait until I get to shoot your wedding!! :)

Here are a few of them having fun with some bubbles they brought!

And, of course, when I suggested that they try to blow bubbles in each other's faces, James decided that meant it was time to get competitive:
