Christy and Jacob have become very dear to me after getting to know them and their families over the past year.  I have especially had the chance to bond with the Beausirs, over several meetings, a bridal session, and of course the wedding itself.  I have to tell you one story to give you an idea of just how warm these guys are.  We had a two part bridal session, and on the second day, I didn’t have a sitter, but they were super thrilled at the idea of me bringing baby Char.  Mom, sister Mallory, and Christy all love babies.  Charlotte was her typical easy self, but at one point began to get fussy, and we knew she had a bad diaper.  Get this, Mallory insisted on changing Charlotte’s poopy diaper so that I could keep shooting.  I was so embarassed to let her do that, but she kept insisting.  I just think this just speaks volumes on what a kind, laid back, loving family these guys are.  I feel like I’ve known them for years, and I know that they make everyone feel that way.

When I met the Scoby family on the wedding day, they radiate the same kind of love, fun, and family bond.  Christy and Jacob have an incredible foundation of family backing them up.  

Now that I am a new mother, I really treasured seeing Carrie (mom) with her kids.  She beams for them.

Christy and her sister Mallory are so endeared to one another…here they are just before the ceremony

This next picture is very meaningful to me- dad was so composed- he didn’t shed a tear all day, but the minute he gave his daughter away and she walked up on the altar- he let it all out.

here Christy laughs in amazement at how beautiful the music is

I just love Jewel’s angle as I was shooting portraits

Jewel kills at details…here is one of hers…

people love to try to get Jewel and I to put down the camera and dance.  I won’t put down the camera- but I will dance…here is this guy’s reaction to my dancing.  

Love you guys!
