welcome to our blog!

Thanks for stopping by! We're Ben and Amy Starks (that's us in the photo to your left :)).


Our blog serves as our online diary. Here, you will find lots of eye candy, stories about our photography experiences, and other random tidbits about our quirky life together.


Feedback makes us super happy, so feel free to leave some! And if you have a few minutes, check out our site!

I've noticed that my blogs have been doubling up lately (or tripling up, for that matter). This is probably because I'm a littttttle behind on blogging. Over the next couple of days I will be playing catch up.

Isn't that phrase sort of weird? Are we ever really "caught up?" I feel like I'm constantly chasing after my work and responsibilities, but they must be flippin' marathon champs because I can never seem to muster up enough energy to pass them.

Man, have I ever mentioned that I despise running?

Anyway, clearly I didn't meet my deadline for announcing the winner of the contest. Not that I'm fumbling to come up with an excuse, but Ben and I (along with my sister and her husband) threw my parents a 25th wedding anniversary party this past weekend, so that consumed a lot of my time and efforts. (p.s. The party will be one of my near future blogs. :))

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Twitter challenge. Your entries were sweet and inspiring, and provided me with tons of new perspectives about "love." But we had to pick a winner. And that person is.....

Megan Tucker!!!

Here's Megan's entry: "Megan thinks that love is knowing someone isn't perfect, but realizing that you wouldn't have them any other way."

Isn't it true? In her pure and simple statement, Megan pointed out that we accept the ones we love - without condition, flaws and all. Well put.

Megan, I'll be sending some tunes your way soon! Congrats! :)

Part 2 of our blog is a sneak peek of Erin and Spencer's Winter Park engagement shoot. I will be devoting an entire blog post to detail how fabulous this couple truly is, so I'll just let you enjoy the sneak peek images below. There will be a bajillion more (that's right - bajillion) in the bigger post because Erin and Spencer are two of the most insanely photogenic people we've ever met:

Hello, fierce.

Love the rich colors in the last picture -- the green of the grass, the purple of her top, and the blues of their jeans! Great looking couple!
