Jeanie + Vivek are celebrating the 5th year of their marriage and what better way to commemorate the occasion than with a photo session! When brainstorming ideas for this session, Jeanie told me that they love drinking wine and I have always wanted to do a session near a corn field – hello fabulousness!!!

Can they be any more gorgeous? (is that even a proper sentence?)

Jeanie is fierce!!!!

This huge rat is scary and out of place!! It is pointing to where you should enter to park for the restaurant but still really strange!

Can we talk about pregnancy glow? Jess would probably credit the sun but she looks fab!

Thanks for the laughs on a beautiful evening! I’m beyond excited to meet your little one in a few short weeks Jess + Vinnie!

This was our kitchen after the first time we canned. It sure is messy!

Second time around, I got the special utensils and all!

The spaghetti sauce I used was a version of this one. From trial and error, we discovered we don’t like celery or bell peppers or as much sugar and salt. Also, I used an immersion blender on the second batch so that it wasn’t chunky. Tastes delicious!

This salsa recipe came from Tasty Kitchen as well. It can be found here. We did more modifying of this recipe, removing the pickling spice (okay we actually put this in this batch and it made it too sweet – almost like cider! so the next time we won’t be adding it), removing the brown sugar and not adding as much regular sugar. We ended up using one of the jars for dinner, hence why it isn’t full!

He was very proud of his shoes! He normally wears Toy Story or Spider-Man character shoes, but I did some sweet talking and he was totally willing to put these snazzy slip-ons with no socks on!

He brings a smile to my face every single day!

My mom and I got this outfit for Randon when he was around the same age and I knew I wanted to reuse the outfit for these (since it was the only thing that went with what Randon was wearing).

This happens a lot with this dude. He’s been walking for awhile now, but going down the hill in my parents backyard proves to be a challenge!

A close up of the shoes! He was standing on one of the many tables w/umbrellas in my parents backyard and he was “hidden” in the umbrella.

This was pretty much Rylan the entire time when trying to get a photo of the two of them together! Love the tongue and determination!!!

Thanks for looking at my sweet and adorable nephews!!

Take notice of Conner the dog when out at the pool. He goes crazy when we are in the water! The boys are little fishes in the pool (and tan as can be!)
Randon fell in love with the iPad. He’s obsessed with Toy Story anything and I downloaded an app just for him. He thought it was the coolest thing ever. And boy kids are smart these days. He knew exactly how to get out of it and get back.
And there is proof I was around too!

Congratulations M & J on a beautiful little guy!

Megan loves turtles and has now passed along her turtle collection to their son.

Can’t forget about the first child, Zeke.

If you are in Oklahoma and want a session, I still have two spots open while I’m there! Email me to get the details!

These next three are from an evening walking along the D&R Canal in Griggstown. I met up with fellow photographer Holly to think outside the box and shoot something different than we both normally do. It was just what I needed it!

Lots of laughter throughout the evening!

Our hostess and her lovely husband Jamie.
