We had the opportunity to work with some really great vendors for the Inspired Creations Contest a few weeks ago that Elizabeth Anne Designs and The Sweetest Occasion have put on. We took a bunch of photos...some of this wonderful couple below and some of a couple of cute little kids and of course some details of the great event design that ITN created for the contest. Lunch Pail Pictures did some great behind the scenes video as well here's the link. There were so many photos I have broken it up into a couple posts. This is the first. Below are some of the rad portraits we took of Hannah and Kurt. Enjoy and come back soon to see more.
Here are some of the great people we had the privilege of working with...

Molly started contractions Friday morning and we showed up to the hospital Friday night hung around for a couple hours and decided we'd either walk around the hospital all night (boo!) or go home for a bit and come back in the morning perhaps a little refreshed. We went home to Molly's parents house and I slept for a couple hours and Molly quietly continued to labor. At 4:30 am we decided to go back. Molly labored for a few more hours...Molly was fully dilated, but the little one didn't seem to want to come out, he was still at a -2 position. As they always do in hospitals the gave us some options...start a pit drip, break the water, or walk around possibly all day. Because it seemed the only thing keeping us from our baby was the bag of waters we decided to let the doctor break it. Positioned on her side and stacked with pillows Molly labored some more, but not long. It seemed breaking the water was exactly the invitation our baby was waiting for. Molly described the movement of our baby as a freight train moving through her body. At this point he came down so quickly that he almost beat the doctor into the room. Our wonderful nurse Michelle very calmly called the doctor and said "when we turn Mollly we're going to have a baby" The nurses quickly and calmly prepared the delivery room. The doctor arrived just in the knick of time. This is it. Molly pushed through three contractions and boom! out came our little baby boy. A much quicker delivery than Charlotte but much more painful I'm told. Like a champ my amazing wife gave me a beautiful son. 
Molly, I appreciate you and all that you do for our family. Thank you for enduring the pain of bringing another beautiful child of mine into this world. You are everything I could ask for in a wife and truly are a rockstar and I love you so much. 
As we sat in the quiet and calm delivery room just the three of us we once again went over our list of boy names and to my surprise there was a new name on the list, Riley.

A few weeks ago Molly and I took a ride up the California coast to Santa Barbara and had the pleasure of shooting a session with Janelle and Marcos and their cute little daughter Jaylen. We had a blast shooting at the mission and a nearby park. We are super excited and looking forward to shooting their wedding next month.

Many of you know that Molly is pregnant. If you didn't know, now you know. Despite our efforts to try and keep knowing the sex of our child from ourselves, we found out. The ultra-sound technician didn't do a great job of hiding this information from us. During our ultra-sound we saw a penis. It was a bummer at the time to find out the sex of our child (only because we wanted a surprise) but we are super excited to be having a baby boy. Tomorrow is our due date...so by the time you're reading this we may be in labor :)
Here's to baby boys!!

There are some weddings that just pull more emotion out of you than usual. The day started off with Kerry's gorgeous room at Pelican Hill. (Praise God for holding off on the rain until 10 o'clock at night!) I saw framed photos and old journals and her twin sister gently reminded me that their mom had past when the girls were young and so these precious things were here as a reminder. Jeff being the thoughtful man he is bought Kerry a beautiful Tiffany journal to start their own story in. I couldn't help but see these personal things and get teary-eyed. I especially love that Kerry and her sister recreated a photo taken of their mother on her own wedding day on each of their respective wedding days. And then when Kerry came down the aisle... forget about it! Jeff was a teary mess and so was I. Our friend and past bride Mikaila commented on how awesome it is to see a man SO in love with his bride and I second that completely. It was so awesome to see such a surge of emotion. 

Aside from all the happy tears there were laughs, funny moments and stunning details. And Kerry, she was old Hollywood glam personified! She looked amazing! What an awesome start to our 2011 wedding season! 

Jeff and Kerry, we think that you guys make an amazing team and we are so excited to watch your story unfold!
