Mandy and Chris {The Engagement Session}...

I loved working with Mandy and Chris!  I mean come on check out those vintage outfits and backdrops- what is not to love?  Pure vintage loveliness all around and you can see how much Mandy and Chris love each other...I actually got a little misty eyed while doing a slide show to look at the pictures as a group.  Their love just shines as the star of the show!

A balloon, a boy, and a great big hill...

Whew!  What a looong weekend {with the cherry on top being a trip to the emergency room this morning because my husband was delirious with heat exhaustion...very scary but all is fine now moms if you are reading this.}

So as I watch him sleep peacefully now, instead of telling me how he can't sleep because he is building a restaurant, I thought I would share some pictures from our most recent photo shoot with little Asher!  He is just about the cutest little peanut I have even seen!  It was a totally new experience shooting a toddler.  The angles are different, you have to get your shots fast and roll with the punches.  A few more of them under my belt and I'll be a pro!  Hope you enjoy them!

If you enjoyed the pictures and are on facebook- like us- 906 Photography {we are easy to find under pages and we will love you for it!}.

A little road trip...

Along the way there was:

  Milk Duds and Charleston Chews...

cornfields and barns...

pit stops every 60 miles and laughing so hard...

Skip Schumaker 

the biggest bed we have ever slept in {amazing!}...

Anthropology and H&M 

*The Great American Cookie Co. and a chocolate chip M&M cookie {actually 3 of them}

Driving home with the one that I love

*this is not the furthest I have gone for a cookie from this place. When I lived in Germany my mom came to visit me and I had a list of very specific things I wanted her to bring along with her.  On that list was, and I am quoting this

"one chocolate chip M&M cookie from the Cookie Co. in a ziplock baggie"

This cookie is all I thought about on the train ride to Venice {where I was meeting my mom}.  I get to the airport, at this point I haven't seen my mom in over 9 months. I find her and give her a hug.  Then say

"where is my cookie?" 

My mom looks at me and I know right away what has happened.

"you ate my cookie!"  

I blurted out.  She handed me a ziplock with a little sliver of cookie left.  My mom ate my special cookie on the plane!!! I couldn't be mad though because she had a whole suitcase full of goodies for me.

The weekend is almost here!  Have a happy and safe 4th of July! 

We will celebrating it the good ol' fashion Midwest way.  Swimming, cookouts, sparklers, softball, plenty of fireworks and patriotism.  Gotta love small towns on days like the 4th of July.  Makes me remember why I moved back home in the first place.  I appreciate it so much more now.

More yellow, navy, and grey wedding...
