It's been over a month since I wrote the last entry on here. But I think that's a good thing. After announcing our retirement from photography (it sounds so much more dramatic to call it a 'retirement'), the blogging break was needed.

Lots of things have happened since then; I started school. We got a new couch. I got a new tattoo. But more on all of that excitement later (because I know you all are just dying to hear about our new couch). Today, I will be posting a sneak peek that trumps all other sneak peeks in it's enormousness - 4 different sessions combined into one massive, photo-filled post. It's like killing 4 birds with one stone, except I like animals.

I've posted 21 photos below - 5 'peeks' per session. Enjoy. And come back often - we'll hang out more. I promise. :)


First up: Andy, Stacey, Tristan and William. A.K.A. The cutest little family ever. ;)

Next: Marina and Ken. We did their session in the neighborhood of the little island they live on. Gorgeous place, gorgeous couple.

Third in line: Hallie and Melody. Hallie contacted us about doing this shoot with her and her mom, Melody, for mother's day. Such a cute gift idea! Hallie and Melody are awesome, and kept us laughing throughout the whole shoot. My mom, my sister and I are extremely close too, so this session was an especially fun one for me to be a part of. :)

Hello super cute shoes!

Cupcakes make everything better. :)

They incorporated a lot of personal things into their shoot, and reading was one of those things. :)

And last (but certainly not least): Kim and Kyle; the amazing Mr. and Mrs. from our very last wedding! Kim and Kyle's wedding was seriously incredible, and there will be LOTS of photos from the whole day, but these 5 were shot at sunset. Golden light = lovvvvvvve.

Their wedding was on a golf course, which was the perfect setting for images like this. :)

This one is in the running for my favorite of the day...but it's still too early to tell. :)

A special request from the bride. :)

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling pretty accomplished after all of that. I'm going to reward myself with ice cream and Grey's Anatomy re-runs. Stay tuned for more blogging in the near future! :)
