The Dozier Family

jbo — Thu, 17 May 2012 17:24:52 +0000

Once upon a time, …well, it was a very specific time, actually, so…ahem.

Once upon the fall of 1990, I had the great fortune to become best 5th grade buddies with the zany new kid in school, a gal named Juli Butler. Now, this wasn’t just any gal. Juli was the loud and proud wild child daughter of my social studies teacher, Mrs. Butler. And Mrs. Butler wasn’t just any teacher. This was the kind of teacher that let us write on her overhead projector and gave us special treat graham crackers and (joy of joys!) GUMBALLS that we could chew during class as long as we spit them out in the trash can that she held by the door as we exited her classroom. The best. My 10-year-old self was enchanted by Juli’s bold antics and unbridled sass. Sadly, devastatingly, Juli and I only shared one precious year as Beneke Bears together before she transferred to another district.

I’ve had over 20 Juli-less years since then…but by the power of the almighty Facebook, there has been a Juli/Janica reunion! There is something to be said about a person whose joyful, fun-loving spirit remains virtually unchanged after so many years. To know this girl is to adore her – just ask any one of her bazillion friends and loved ones. Juli, together with her strapping husband Anthony, have created an undeniably awesome family with their kiddos, Ella, Gibson, and the most recent addition, baby Coen. Courageous Coen has had a lot of struggles in his little man life, as he was diagnosed with Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus before he was born. He is a total champion, and is surrounded by incredible amounts of love and support.

I’m so lucky to know you, Juli. I am inspired by your selfless heart and delighted by your filterless humor. I insist that there be no more 20 year gaps in our friendship.

The Day Family

jbo — Thu, 10 May 2012 04:18:33 +0000

Before I was a Boles, I was a Day.

And this particular Day fellow here is my baby brother, Brandon. And the gorgeous gal he married is my amazing friend, Keri. And the two perfect little baby girls that they have created are my nieces, Karli and Adleigh.

Folks, there just aren’t enough adjectives in the world for me to describe my love for these people. I adore my family.

Can I love this picture any more? Unlikely.

It’s my blog. It’s my niece. I can show off her ridiculously cute belly if I want to.

Chantelle and Alan

I have known sweet Chantelle since she was an adorable, giggly middle schooler, dreaming about first kisses and boyfriends.

What a delight it is to know her today! She is as adorable and giggly as ever, and now she’s making plans for the rest of her life with her perfect match, the equally charming Alan.

Happy engagement, you crazy kids.

Titan and Karma round out this family of four.

(Please note Karma’s pink tutu. It is nothing short of fabulous.)

Something special. ♥

Jacob and Ainsley – One Year Old!

The year flew by.

The twins grew up.

Their cuteness exploded.

I love the Oelze Family.

Happy birthday, Jacob and Ainsley!

Lindsay and Jarrod are gorgeous people. Nothing has changed here.

Sweet babies. They tolerated so much paparazzi time…but enough is enough, am I right??

(have you ever seen more adorable simultaneous sadness?)

Want more Oeleze?

Lovable Logan.

This blue-eyed fellow is 9 months old and just as pleasant as can be.

I loved watching his little brow furrow from time to time…deep thoughts were obviously happening.

Thanks for the grins, big guy!

Kinda fond of this giraffe.Do you mind?Pensive posture.

Grass. Not a fan.

Ben and Tasia

jbo — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 22:08:23 +0000

Growing up, I would have never, ever dreamed that there would come a day that I would be photographing engagement pictures for my big brother, Ben.

It’s not that I never imagined that I would become a photographer…though I really didn’t. It just seemed unfathomable that Ben could actually find someone who would marry him!

Oh, I kid.

I couldn’t be more proud of my handsome, intelligent, athletic, and loving brother. (and if I didn’t say that, he’d make me lick the bar of soap in the bathroom again.)

Beautiful Tasia, I literally squeal with excitement when I think about having you as a sister. Heaven knows we’ve got many memories ahead of us, just waiting to be made.

I love you both and can’t wait for 10.11.12!

Tayla

jbo — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 20:28:42 +0000

She’s MARRIED!

When I took Tayla and Ryan’s engagement pictures last September, it seemed like the wedding was so far away…and now, it’s down in the books! Tayla and Ryan were married on Saturday and the day was perfect. As you can see, sweet Tayla certainly played the part of the beautiful, blushing bride.

I can’t wait to share wedding images with you!

The Barnes Family

jbo — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 23:01:08 +0000

Time and time again, my highly scientific theory is proven true:

Cute couples create cute kids.

Fascinating.

(and my complete privilege to photograph.)

This is Annabel, but you can call her AB. And what’s cuter than that??

Krista and Jeff, you couldn’t hide these good looks if you tried.

Oh, hello. ♥

You gettin’ this?

Kristy and Erik – Married!

jbo — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 04:14:29 +0000

The wedding was small, warm, and wonderful. Kristy and Erik simply beamed…and in that cozy living room of the Alderson house, their families beamed right back at them.

What a treat it was to share in such a special day. My very best wishes to you, Mr. and Mrs. Schneider!
