It was another HOT Texas day, Nate and I were enjoying a little time together.  We went to check the mail when I noticed the neighbors sprinkler start.  I encouraged Nate to ride his bike and ran inside to call for Lana and to grab my camera of course.  They didn’t know what I was up to, but once they were ready I told them to run/ride through the sprinker.  Nate was delightfully perplexed, but it didn’t take him long to see the potential.  We had a great time recycling my neighbors water that would have otherwise been wasted on the sidewalk.

We decided to begin our summer with a fun family stay-cation.  We stayed near our home and together for 9 days.  Enjoying the adventure and laziness that the summer brings.  We had intended to go-go-go, but after an awesome day at the lake a wonderful lake water induced stomach bug defined the rest of our stay-cation to throwing up tents in our living room instead of on the camp grounds.  I think we all appreciated 74º instead of the dreadful 105º that it was outside.  We ended up thanking the stomach bug that defined our cozy time together.

We’ve been keeping a little secret, because I was feeling really under the weather and a LOT hormonal, but now that I’m feeling GREAT, I’m ready to reveal a recent photo of me that Andre captured which made me realize that I can’t keep it to myself anymore.

The day was hot.  No, for real, I mean really HOT, 107º hot. But with the bride, groom, wedding party, and guests being so chill they kept it cool.  The sun set and things cooled down even more, making it the perfect temperature for a great time.

I had a wonderful time shooting Kristen and Jon’s wedding last weekend with the wonderfully technically talented Josh Rodriquez.

Amazing as love is between a man and woman on their wedding day, I get all weapy inside when I see unique love and dedication from the parents of the couple.  Kristen’s parents were so amazing to have planned and orchestrated the entire day.  Dad stepped up like I’ve never witnessed before.  Truly inspiring!  His toast was extra special describing Jon and Kristen’s “the rest of the story”.  Their love taking them back to the 6th grade.
