I LOVE Sierra’s smile. Knowing that your friends love your kiddos nearly as much as you do. It’s a beautiful thing!

THIS IS US! Find your people. Love them hard.

We are not in a casual friendship with these people. We are in a committed friendship with these people!!

When it’s easy. When it’s hard. When it’s fun. When it’s mundane.

Sierra – we LOVE you SO MUCH!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Are any of you DOCTOR WHO fans!?

The crack in this AMAZING cake resembles the crack in time – which seems to follow us around! We see it quite often!

ALSO – BECCA – I want this cake for ALL the birthdays from here on out!! IT WAS SO GOOD!!

I don’t eat chocolate – so I can’t speak for this brownie – but it LOOKS DELICIOUS!!

Those pictures – they’re my favorite!!

These shots describe what we do as friends. We love.

It’s a great thing for our kiddos to have 5 moms! I’m not sure that the kids ALWAYS love that though!!

That’s her oldest. She is NOT happy that he’s taller than her already!

I’ve got ONE more post to show you!!

This MIGHT be one of my FAVORITE shots of the night!

How did they do on the re-creation!?

THIS is how we do life together!!

THAT CAKE – it was SO DELICIOUS!!

THE JOY IN THAT SHOT!! THIS is how birthdays should ALWAYS be!!

Who’s ready to eat cake!?

Our dear friend Sierra turned 30 this year!!

Her hubby set up a surprise dinner at their house!

She’s HERE!!

SURPRISE!!!

I LOVE Enoch’s face in that one!!

I forget that I’m not actually IN any of the photos – so I have to grab anything I can get!!

Most of you probably know that I’ve struggled with living in this since we moved in – about 16 years ago.

There are so many reasons behind why I didn’t and don’t want to be here – BUT – this kitchen is no longer one of them!

It’s SO MUCH BRIGHTER!! And it feels SO MUCH BIGGER even though it really is smaller – we put these boards right on top of the old ceiling.

THAT SINK!!! It’s the sink DREAMS are made of!

Now our kitchen is finished throughout!!

It’s my favorite room in the house!!

That messy ponytail – I LOVE IT!!

PERFECTION!!

SO SWEET!!

Her excitement is SO contagious!!

They picked a bouquet for me to take home!! And this is one of my FAVORITE shots of the night!!

Erin & Steve – I truly LOVED spending the evening with your family!! I hope to see you again soon!

I ABSOLUTEY LOVE that one!! I would almost put a HUGE canvas of it on my own wall!!

CHILDHOOD PERFECTION!

Daddy changing their outfits – in the room their momma was photographed in before their wedding!!

Those little feet! Seemingly insignificant moments.

I saw this idea from a photographer I follow on IG and just HAD to try it!!

I LOVE THAT ONE!!

We had SO MUCH FUN with these photos!!

I got an email from Erin in June – asking if we could schedule family photos.

I photographed their wedding nearly 11 years ago and this would be the first time seeing them since!

Their little girls were SO excited to see me and talk to me and bring me home for a sleepover!!

I ADORE those shots!

ALWAYS let them be silly. Let them be little!

I’ve got SO MUCH more to show you!

STUNNING!!

THAT BLACK & WHITE ON THE RIGHT!! GORGEOUS!!

SO GORGEOUS!!

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!

Cait – thank you SO MUCH for getting in the water!! They turned out PERFECTLY!

Cait & Corey – I am SO happy for you!! THANK YOU for spending the evening with me!

You might remember Cait & Corey! I photographed their wedding in September!!

GORGEOUS!!

Isn’t this location SO DREAMY!?

One of my FAVORITE shots!!

Those shots – PERFECTION!!

Stay tuned – because Cait got IN the water for me!!
