Aaaaanyway, these two were so stinkin fun. They pretty much rocked our world. And their details were a-mazing! Laura works at Paper Source {that store and my wallet are not friends. I DESTROY my wallet when I go in that place!}. So needless to say she had access to all kind of goodies to make their wedding awesome, and she took full advantage!

Hugo and Laura- sorry for being a freak and forgetting to blog your wedding, thank you for reminding me! Your wedding was our 2nd to last before we were done and I was way too pregnant… someone it got lost in the mix of pregnancy brain!!

This turned into this challenge of the guys all trying to click their heels twice in one jump. Of course Grayson {Mr. good at everything.. makes me so mad sometimes!} just jumps up and does it!

planking on brides maids… hahaha

We also did their {engagement shoot} a while back if they seem to look familiar to you!

Lauren + Brandn are awesome people!  But I digress… enjoy the pictures!

pair of shoes #2

Umm… do these come in adult sizes?

BOOM!

I saw these being set up while they were out of order and read it as “V O L E” (a small rodent)?

I wish every dad did this at their kids wedding.

This wedding is funny because literally a day before Megan emailed us to shoot her wedding we had gotten back from New York and sworn never to go back there again. We had a BAD experience {flew in and had to drive through downtown at 5pm on a Friday night… 4 hours later we got to our 30 mile away destination}. Anyway, we wrote New York off for good. THHHEENNN Megan writes going on and on about how she wants us to shoot her wedding more than anything, how could we say no to that?!?! So we booked them and they redeemed New York for us. This place was amazing!.

They got married at the Sagamore in Lake George and it was the perfect venue. They also had the nicest bridal party and families possible, we got along with everyone so well. Lots of my shooting “moves” were now gone due to the fact that I was giantly pregnant. So shooting was interesting, especially when I needed to lay on the floor to get a shot….

Kevin made her this necklace!  Oh yeah, forgot to mention that he is a gem wizard.

He made her these amazing earnings!!

Kevin designed both their rings

Now… a little behind the camera action. We love to kick off our shoes, get dirty, and climb trees as much as we can.

I don’t know what’s going on here.  Posing tips, maybe?

Anyway, we just got back from a lovely 2 week work/vacation back home in California. It was SO NICE to be in warm weather and let Myles sprawl out in short sleeves on a blanket OUTSIDE! His skin has never seen the sun! On a side note, it’s pretty sad that my skin is the exact same color as someone whose been in a womb for 41 weeks… But we had such a good time, got to see a ton of friends and family, booked a couple more California weddings, ate some In-N-Out and Yogurtland! Loved it! This is going to be a fun year, so far we’re mostly going to be here {In Washington} and back home in California shooting away! We have some other goodies here and there too.

Ok, and on a TOTAL side note, we heard the most ridiculous thing ever. We were talking about terrible names parents give their poor kids and a friend told me she knew a kid named “La-a”.. how is that pronounced you ask? LaDashA”.. WHAT?!?!?!?! The “-” is meant to be “dash”, hahahahahhaha!!

So anyway, Myles’s room has been a work in progress. Almost everything in his room was made by us, friends or collected at garage sales. I’m pretty sure 90% of his belongings are used, haha. The theme we were going for was “70′s nautical”, haha. Our favorite movie is Life Aquatic so we wanted it to be somewhat like that. Myles’s middle name was almost Zissou… seriously.

We spend months collecting vintage children’s books {most with a nautical theme}, pieces of furniture, random objects, got some cool art, made some cool art… and this is what we came up with!

Grayson made this book shelf a couple years ago! And my old record player they now sell at Target, whhattt?! Totally smart marketing! Bring back all the toys we used to play with!

Our friend Nicole {Knitcole} made this awesome octopus and Grayson and I made the mobile {costs us $2.50 to make!!} Why spend $50 on a hardly cute new one?? And Myles loves that thing, stares and stares at it!

We collected those books {in Portland I think} and had his name made from an etsy shop. I made that pillow, Knitcole made the narwhal and my friend Sara made him that blanket! And I got this chair for $20 at a garage sale too!

Grayson and I made this…. :]

I made those curtains {they’re reversible too!} and our friend Roya made that whale!

we have a visitor. Later we added red knobs to this dresser, it was Grayson’s when he was little {and his siblings all used it too}. We just repainted it!

some friends made this whale clock, I LOVE IT!!

Sara had all this stuff at my baby shower and sent it up after!

He is the happiest baby everrrrr!! I’ve never seen a baby who gets so happy over having his diaper changed! Roya made that “Myles” sign too!

Found that ugly doll at a garage sale for 50 cents! They’re $20 new! OH! And we got this changing table for free at a garage sale, it was black and totally broken. We took it home and with a little wood glue and 4 cans of white spray paint it’s good as new!

Professor Bun Bun… I had this for him

Ta daaaaaa! {Oh and April made that quilt over his crib, impressive because she’s never sewed before!!} And we got that little red rocking chair for $2 at a garage sale!

I hope that satisfies all the requests we got to see his room!! Hope it lived up to the expectations!

We’re getting excited to start shooting again, we’ve taken some time off for obvious reasons. Well, we do it every year so this year we just have a really good excuse. But we start shooting again this month in California, in 3 weeks actually!  The break has been quite nice and we have no complaints! {Other than Myles all of the sudden deciding it’s no longer necessary to sleep at night, ugh..} We had lots of friends come up to visit, discovered a lot more TV shows to watch {what else do we do when we hardly get to leave the house?} and have booked some awesome weddings for this year!

So  have a  good Tuesday and enjoy this little bit o’ snazzy 8 week old baby.
