Five years ago today I was driving around in my Volvo with my girls getting our hair and makeup done, taking pictures, and having an all around blast. I remember being so relaxed on my wedding day. I think because for the first time and maybe the last time in my life, I was sure, sure that I was doing the right thing, sure that I was marrying the perfect man, sure that everything would work out even if it wasn’t perfect. Now on my 5th anniversary, a baby milestone, I’m feeling reflective. We’ve had some awesome times together traveling, making friends, throwing parties, and turning our house into a home. But at this time in my life, this very moment, what I’m really thinking about is how lucky I am. Lucky to have a man that not only allows me to do what I love, but encourages it. Not only supports my passion, but helps me find my way. Spends his evenings and Saturdays holding lights, posing babies, setting up art booths, and chatting with strangers that become freinds. Jon doesn’t always want to be my “light boy”, but he always wants to help me and always with a quiet smile. How do you thank your husband when he gives so much more than expected. He is my best friend, my inspiration, and partner in crime. He is helping me become the person I dream of being, and I love him sooo much for it. Even better I really like him too. Thank you bubby for picking me to love. I am the lucky one…
In honor of our fabulous 5 years together I am giving away 10 free sitting fees to 10 happy couples!
Here’s the catch… there are requirements
~ you’re a happily married couple with love that shows
~ you’ve been married 5 or more years
~ you love pictures and haven’t had any taken of just the two of you in years, maybe since you were married
~ you have to schedule your shoot in the months of July and August
I can’t wait to start shooting these pics! I’ve already found some fabulous spots around the city perfect for “just because” photos!
Oh and one more thing… drinks on me after the shoot!
Congrats. You guys are an amazing couple and I am lucky to be a part of your lives. Can’t wait to celebrate more milestones with you. I love you both. Ps- you both look so young in your wedding photos.

My friend Tara just had maternity pics taken with you – I can’t wait to see them! Now, I want to know… How do I get in on that special deal? My hubby and I have been married 7 1/2 years and haven’t had a photo shoot since our engagement pics back in 2002!
Tonight, one of my cousins got married… apparently, June 25 is a good day for weddings! Congrats on finding the love of your life…. keep him around! 🙂

Isn’t it incredible how one person can make such a difference in your life? Congratulations my two friends! Five years together is a reflection of unselfish choices, managing incompatibility as well as you do compatibility, trust, tolerance and tenacity. My compliments to you both!
It’s pretty awesome to be married to your BEST FRIEND!
When it hurts to look back, and unsettling to look ahead, you can look beside you and your BEST FRIEND will be there.
