Jackson & Jared: Everyday – Part Three.

The day before the 4th of July I was very excited to shoot my little nephews at the beach!

Jackson & Jared.

These two couldn’t be more opposite of eachother. Jackson is older – he is the straight A student – loves helping adults and doing school projects – clean cut short hair – all american boy. Jared is the complete opposite. He is the rebel. He loves skate boarding. Playing the drums is his passion in life, I swear. Music in general. Getting banged up and roughing around is what he does best. And the long hair, amazing.

But even though they are total opposites – they are truly brothers. Always looking out for one another and having a blast together. No matter what it is. They are eachother’s hero.

I love watching siblings just hangout – it’s so cool.

I entered in this picture below for an I ♥ Faces contest. The Category is “Just For Fun” – and that’s exactly what it is…just for fun! They had two categories – I♥ Faces Wedding Bells and I ♥ Faces Just For Fun! And since I don’t have any wedding shots at the moment (I plan to have some in the near future) I decided I will enter in one of the many Just For Fun pictures I have! Please go by I ♥ Faces
and take a look at all of the other great entries!

This is a picture of my niece, Hannah.

I love the confidence she has in this picture – total beach bum.

You can tell in her face she’s saying “I’M AN INDEPENDENT 7 YEAR OLD! WATCH OUT WORLD!”

April 25th, 2009 was the day Justin and I became husband and wife. We had the honor of having Jasmine Star shoot our wedding. I couldn’t have been more happier with the outcome of the pictures. They were incredible and she was an amazing photographer.

This is my favorite picture!

I’m sitting in our apartment clubhouse as I’m typing this. Just picture a Big Bear cabin – that’s what it looks like. Awesome. I’m off in a corner…listening to a bible study. I got here earlier when no one was in here, and I had to run back to the apartment for one minute to switch laptops. I get back and there are people setting up with food and plates. I ask “did you guys rent out the room” – they replied “yes”…soooo bummed.. I go outside hoping I could get some of the wireless connection. But of course, the battery dies and there’s no outlet outside. So I start to get up and leave to go home (with no internet for this new post) and someone stops me and says I can come in while they use the room for their weekly bible study. As long as I don’t mind if they talk about God. Of course I didn’t, and I was grateful.

They offered me food and internet!

And, the topic they were talking about was overcoming challenges and it was actually really cool. I spent most of the time listening to it rather than using my laptop which was my original plan.

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair …

So, back to the post…my husband and I went over to his parents again for more family fun! It was very fast paced and sweaty! But they’re boys…what do you expect?!
