The Paarlbergs

'I can't wait to marry him someday!' were Rachel's words as we cleaned the storage room in the back of the New Covenant bookstore. She would go on and on on how he was 'so hot' and we would giggle and tell each other our dreams for our future with our beaus. She was only 16, and typically for a lot of girls that age, it's just a silly fantasy, but I knew they would get married. Why? Because I honestly think she would kill for him, and really, after FINALLY meeting him a month ago, I can't blame the girl.

When Rachel got ahold of me and told me that she was engaged and wanted me to shoot their wedding, I was so ecstatic! Finally this dream was coming true and I got to be apart of it.

Rachel and Tyler Paarlberg, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for allowing me to document your day. It truly was an honor to be apart of the day, and I pray for all the happiness in the world for you both! Can't wait to see you when you get back to show you the rest of your photographs.

There table decorations were SO pretty! I loved it :) Simplicity is a friend of mine.



P.S...I just realized that I added a lot of kissing photos :) But that was literally them the whole day--smooching.all.day. It was so fun to watch their love!

Have a Happy Monday, all!

Kelsey's Senior Pics

Where do I even begin with Kelsey?! I think it's safe to start with the fact that she is a goofball. In a good way. Of course. As you will see by her photos.

I have known Kelsey for a number of years, but it hasn't really been until recently that we have really had the opportunity to know each other fairly well. We have decided that we are the same person. Only 5 years apart. It's strange, I know.

Kelsey, you are GORGEOUS! I love how you can transform from "I can't get dirty, because I'm cute and dainty" to "get out of my way, or I'll run you over with my motorcycle." I had such a fun time hanging out with you, laughing, talking about our moms, and making you feel awkward by making serious faces. Enjoy :)
