michael & linda {i do}

Mike and Linda opted for a quaint and intimate celebration for their nuptials and celebration with friends, family, and their daughters. They were married at a nursery which I found to be divine as it was full of character and created the perfect setting for their ceremony and reception. May the two of you enjoy a lifetime of happiness as you raise those gorgeous girlies together. It was an honor for me to document your special day and witness such an incredible family bond! xoxo – Kari

slumber party photoshoot

As a girl my friends and I did tons of sleep overs. Not just the routine one girl spends the night routine but tons of girls spend the night at one house. In thinking back though I’m not sure I ever had a big sleep over at my house which got me thinking… my mom was onto something BIG! She’s so smart!

Faith and Karli both got to have their first slumber parties for their birthdays. Only four friends were invited by Faith and Karli each and the parties were done on separate nights. I wasn’t about to go completely wacky! Anyway, we did a fun little shoot with Faith and her friends before the sun set and they ate too much sugar :)

My birthday girl!

my faith {lifestyle}

My Faith just celebrated her 13th birthday and I couldn’t be more proud of the young woman she is becoming. Faith says things like “I wouldn’t be where I am without you mom” and “you have no idea what you’ve done for me.” I personally have no idea how she draws such conclusions. What I do know is I adore her, I feel like we ‘know’ each other, and we are profoundly connected.

The aspects of Faith’s character that I appreciate the most didn’t come from me but from her father. She is selfless, serving, nurturing, mature, responsible, and gorgeous inside and out. She knows how to read me and knows exactly how to respond. Faith has strong convictions morally and spiritually. She knows who she is and she isn’t ashamed to stand up for what she believes in. She is so many things I wish I could be.

Welcome to the next phase of life my beautiful Faith!

I have the BEST out-take while I was getting this shot but she’d never forgive me if I shared it. It was her idea to lay in the grass but her expression after the bugs attacked her face is priceless!
