little man.

Tuesday, June 18, 2013

Be still my heart! I love this little blue eyed little man so very much. He turned two months old last week- 2 months! How does time go by that fast? Can I stop time for just a little bit? The first month of adjusting to having two little ones was full of…well, adjustment- ha! Now it is becoming easier and Beau is just so sweet. Not to mention, I think he kinda looks like me…. which is totally ok with me because Leland looks just like my husband. ;) Thankful to be able to spend my day with this little man and his big brother!!

Such a beautiful boy! Hannah said she thought he looked like your brother. He definitely favors you. Enjoy all the lovely chaos! <3

Eeeek! I can’t believe he’s already two months old! & I agree, he does look like his mama ;)

Aww, he’s so so adorable! And I saw these pictures and before I read your post I was like woah he looks like Arielle, although I do see a little Jay in him. Too cute! Someday I think I want two little boys. We’ll see what God does though aha.

Aww! He’s getting so big! Such a sweet little guy! :)

Look at that “personality”!! Love it!! His sweet face is filling out and filled with smiles. Love the pic of “a sideways glance” coming out of his pretty blue eyes!!! Mage

chris + jill | northern ohio wedding

Monday, June 17, 2013

Chris and Jill had such a beautiful wedding on a fruit farm in northern Ohio. I loved Jill’s beautiful dress and all of the details from the day! The day was perfect (and the rain even held off for us!) They are such a great couple and was thrilled to photograph their wedding. Here are a few of my favorite images from the day…

So pretty!!

Monday, June 10, 2013

A couple of weeks ago, I took this sweet couple’s engagement photos. I loved their personalities and they are such a beautiful couple! The locations that we went to worked out perfectly….not to mention, there was an old nova on one of the properties just waiting for us to use it in the shoot ;) They will be getting married this summer in Hawaii- um, so awesome!! I could have posted many more photos from this session because they are super photogenic but here are just a few of my favorites…

thanks kristin! as always! ;) hope you have a wonderful week!!

sweet summertime.

Wednesday, June 5, 2013

Summer is here! Maybe not officially, but it sure feels like it! These days are full and long but full of joy. My toddler and newborn are by far God’s greatest blessings in my life. Other than Jay, of course. ;) They do keep me busy! (Moms of multiple kids, I applaud you!) That being said, I’ve been really learning how to manage my time lately. I never work when the little ones are awake- work comes when they are either asleep, napping, or Jay has them. I’m learning to really prioritize and obviously, my little ones are my main priority and purpose. We move in just a few weeks so any extra time I have is being put towards packing, etc. I’m so excited! Not to mention, right after we move we’ll be going on vacation- woo!! Also, very excited to share some sessions and such on here soon. But for now, my husband is getting home from a late baseball game and I’m going to go spend some much needed time with him! Much love.

Glad you’re enjoying these summer days, my dear! And how nice that you get to go on vacation after the move! I bet that’s going to make the packing and unpacking better since you’ll have that to look forward to. hehe :)

Elise - June 5, 2013 - 4:35 pm

How did I miss this? Where are you moving to?!

Mage - June 5, 2013 - 6:44 pm

That is the “sweetest” picture of Beau !!!!! Love it!! and love you all too! Terra

Emily grapes - June 6, 2013 - 3:00 pm

You’re so sweet, Arielle! Love how relaxed you two are in that photo. Hopefully you can get everything squared away for the move and vacation. Lots going on but I’m sure that vacation will be much appreciated when you get there.

arielle - June 11, 2013 - 3:23 pm

Thanks for the encouragement Emily! Hope you are having a great summer!

Britney T - June 11, 2013 - 7:50 pm

Lovely photos, as usual! I will be moving soon also, so I know how you feel (minus juggling the two little ones as well). Good luck :)

bruce + amy | moundale manor wedding

Monday, June 3, 2013

Bruce and Amy were married last weekend in beautiful Winchester, Kentucky. Everything about this wedding was absolutely beautiful and elegant! Moundale Manor and the Winchester Opera House were absolutely gorgeous locations. Bruce and Amy were one the kindest couples and I am so excited for the both of them. Not to mention, Amy was such a stunning bride!! There were too many photos to choose from but here are just a few of my favorites from the day…

So stunning!!

…I love how Amy’s dad was sitting on the front porch during the afternoon.

The reception was held at the beautiful Winchester Opera house…

Congratulations, Bruce and Amy!

She is quite the stunning bride. I love all your detail shots. Her colors are so vibrant and beautiful! and the way you got the bride’s side/groom’s side without them seeing each other is so creative

I love how their “first look” photos still have a door and balcony between them. What a sweet moment!

Love the yellow “tie” in! One of my favorite happy colors. Love your talent at “catching” that certain look and pose!!

Kristin - June 5, 2013 - 11:10 am

I loooove that venue! What a gorgeous place to get married! :D The photos of Amy & Bruce in the drive with the mansion in the back are my favorites. So lovely. :)

A couple of weeks ago, Kelsey and Josh had a gorgeous wedding and I was so excited to photograph their day! They are such an awesome couple and their wedding was so much fun! (As well as their reception!) I’m so excited to see what God has in store for their future together. Kelsey’s joy is so contagious and I know that they are going to have a wonderful marriage. I wanted to share just a couple of my favorites from their day….
