My fridge has been adorned with two more incredible invitations this week!

Bernadette and Haydn’s beautiful pink and brown invitations have the most perfect wording, inviting their guests to participate in a celebration of love, laughter, friendship, and family:

Sarah and Dan’s elegant black and white invitations have the coolest pocket on the back with all of the important info tucked inside. I loved the embossed black flower–the photo doesn’t do its shiny perfection justice!

September is going to be a month of fantastic weddings!

The weather was conspiring against us for Jack’s senior portraits (it started to downpour just as we arrived), so we raced to relocate his session to Palmer Park (where we didn’t see a drop of rain–gotta love Colorado Spring’s isolated showers)!

Jack is an amazing guy and if I had a teenage daughter (or even a toddler daughter) I’m pretty sure I would have arranged their marriage on the spot.

Jack’s gorgeous sister was the unofficial stylist of the shoot and so we got some shots of them together:

Jack carried her up a rock since platform shoes aren’t really made for rock climbing and I got some of my favorite pictures from the shoot out of it!

After the storm had passed, we made our way back to Manitou Springs for some shots at spots they’d seen while having lunch that day. I wanted to stop at some abandoned train cars Nic and I spotted last week:

Will’s grandma is visiting us this week and spoiling him within an inch of his life. :) They were at the store today and at the check-out Will spotted a bright pink princess toy camera that he went for immediately (no one has told him yet that pink and princesses are for girls). His grandma swapped it for a blue version and the kid was in hog heaven. When I got home this afternoon he was taking pictures of everything. His toys, his family…and telling them “smile!”

He’s 100% sure that the lens side of the camera goes toward your face…so he probably won’t be third shooting for us at any point in the immediate future, but he certainly has the photographer stance down!

My favorite part of the evening was when he took a picture of his new soccer ball and then thrust the camera at me saying “picture!” He grabbed the ball and hugged it to his face, ready for his close-up. Certainly a first! I was so sad that it was a fake picture I was taking and not a real one!

We had a busy weekend with a wedding and a senior portrait shoot, so there will be some good sneak peeks this week. In other behind-the-scenes news, after many months of being broken, my comments are finally fixed and looking pretty! I wanted to give a shout out to Shane for getting my comments all fixed and shiny after I gave up on fixing it myself. He’s a great person to go to for website work!
