Nikki totally blew my mind with her bridal-ness.  She mentioned she wanted a vintage themed session and the Goodman Museum in Tyler, TX was the perfect spot for it.  I loved so many of the shots we got.  Here are just a few of my favorites.  (Also, a big huge thanks to Barbara from La Tee Da Flowers for the bouquet.

I (heart) this photo.

There were even a few little patches of snow left ont he ground so we found those and worked them into the shoot.

Thanks again Nikki for being so willing to try anything I suggested.   And another big thanks to Jordan for helping with hair and the session!  See you two at the wedding.

The kids were dying to go out at 6:00 this morning. :)

Bonus points to the first person to recognize Jo’s jersey without help form the world wide web.

Happy Snow Day.

Welcome back party people.  I hope everyone is staying all warm and snuggly amidst the frigidness that is this first week of February.  Anyway, on to the A-List.  My random list of links to things I find amusing or cool.  Warning:  This A-List is very very “dude-centric”.  However, even if you are not interested in many of these items you should absolutely pass them on to the guy in your life.  He’ll think you are very cool for finding such awesomeness on the internets.  Enjoy.

1.  Water Jet Pack.
I totally want one of these things.  I just need $99,500.  Check it out.

2. Wilson Football Factory.
As the great Super Bowl is upon us impress that guy in your life by telling him that every single NFL football is made in a little factory by the same workers who have been there for decades. True Story.

3. Eli is 2.
We no longer own any 1 year olds and it’s kinda sad. He is our most stubborn child and it’s fun watching Danielle try to raise a miniature version of me. :) Here are a few of my favorite photos of him from his first 700 days of being on Earth.

That’s all for now.

I could not let the month end without a quick look back at my favorite photos from last January.  Happy Anniversary to Erin & Chris, Jamie & David, and Monica & Jofie.  You guys were such a  great way to start off last year and I’m proud of you for making it through your 1st year.  [It gets easier. ;)]  On to the images.

Also celebrating it’s 1 year anniversary is The Mug Machine.  She was but a twinkle in my eye last year and now my baby is all grown up and walking. :)  Seriously though, a big big HUGE thank you to Erin & Chris.  I called Erin about 1 week before her wedding and said something like this.

“Hey I have this big white thing and a box full of strange hats, can I bring it to your wedding and take pictures of people?”  I can’t really show you what it would look like since I have never done it before.  You trust me though right? :)”

Thankfully Erin & Chris’ cool meter was dialed to 11 and they were up for it.  Here are a few of my favorites from their wedding.

Brandi & Nathan are getting married in about a month at the Villa di Felicita and we  just HAD to squeeze in a little engagement session.  These two were perfect despite the cold weather.  Thank you guys for braving the windy city of Tyler, Tx. :)

Blue Eyes For The Win.
