Cassie and Rick

I dare say that Spring (and loooove) is in the air.

Finally.:)

Cassie and Rick, much like the newly budding flowers, are a breath of fresh air.

And they’re dang cute, too.

I wish they would just loosen up…

Cassie.  Gorgeous.

Did you happen to notice the laughter in these pictures?  I just adore a couple who can share giggles, snorts, and belly laughs with the greatest of ease.  Cassie and Rick made arrangements with the lovely folks at the Showboat Drive-in Movie Theater to hold our session there.  We had the run of the place!   We dodged some rain showers and may have pretended that it was warmer than it really was…but all in all, it was GOOD TIMES.  Cassie is best buddies with my best buddy, Alicia.  It was so fun to re-connect with an old friend of a friend.

(Well that’s just silly, Janica.  After all these years, I’d say Cassie has officially graduated to a first-generation friend.;))

Cassie and Rick, I can’t wait to hear all about your amazing Hawaiian wedding ceremony.  It all sounds completely magical.

♡ As it should be. ♡

So cute! Some of those last ones remind me of the movie theater scene in Grease (in a good way!) Love them!

These pictures are adorable…of course I’m probably not the most objective person! You guys reallyn do photograph well. Make sure we get some of these!

Awwwww, how cute are they? I just all goose-pimply. Love, love is in the air. It is so wonderfully evident in your images, Janica!

[...] Time sure flies, huh Cassie and Rick? [...]

3…2…1…

BLAST OFF!

We shot a rocket today…what did you do?:)

The following video was shot during the rocket’s maiden voyage.  Please note my panic and instant camera-drop in the moments following lift-off when I was 95% certain that the rocket was going to come crashing down on my daughter’s head.  Moments later, however, the parachute dislodged and the rocket drifted gracefully, and harmlessly, to the ground.  My triumphant “WHOA!” is when I realized we were in the clear.

Nerdy.

Great to see the Christmas gift put into action!! Looks like you guys had fun!

Whheeeeee! How fun!

Micah + Sam

If you think that Micah and Sam appear to be a perfectly adorable couple…

…then you are 100% correct.

She’s the mac to his cheese. He’s the pb to her j.

And they’re getting MARRIED!

The future Mr. and Mrs. Jones.

A match made in….any guesses?;)

So THAT’S what warm and fuzzy looks like.

Micah and Sam, you crazy kids are just plain awesome together.

Micah is a brilliant artist and such a gentle, caring soul. She has this knack for making people feel at ease…she’s good company. Sam is a bit of a prodigy in the music department. He passionately serves as the Contemporary Music Director at Cypress Creek Christian Church and there are undoubtedly big things to come from this guy.

I have so much respect for people who truly GET each other…no frills necessary.:)You two are setting yourselves up for such a wonderful future together. I can’t wait to be a part of the beautiful celebration on April 9th!

xoxo

What creative beautiful pictures. Sam and Micah turned a
warehouse district into a thing of beauty. Could it be love?

The last image is just darling of this cute couple!
