Wedding Photography

So in May I had the privilege of photographing a wedding. The bride works with my mom. It is amazing how many photos I took during the wedding and reception. Going through and editing all the photos was fun but time consuming (why I was a bit behind on the blog). So here is a small sample of some of the photos from their beautiful day!


















Had to include one of my mom with the bride. :)

May-- Fun with Friends, Birthday Party, Mother's Day & Memorial Day!

May was such a fun and busy month! Cooper had fun hanging out with friends. We went to parks and played. He loves to swing and swing and swing some more!! We went to the zoo a couple of times too! One zoo trip was with Mili, Silas and Christi. It was so fun watching the kids run around together and check out the animals. The other zoo trip was with Nana. We had a fun day going around the zoo and checking out the animals. Nana and Cooper got to watch the polar bears and sea lions being super active! One rainy day Cooper, daddy and I went to the Bonneville fish hatchery for an afternoon. Cooper loved feeding the fish and watching them swim all over. It was such a fun afternoon! We even got to see Herman the very huge sturgeon swimming by (Cooper thought he was a shark)! For Mother's Day Jeff and Cooper got my a Keurig, which was a wonderful surprise! Cooper made his nana and tutu each a painted flower pot and he decorated a canvas bag for grandma. The field of flags was back in our town so we had to stop and get some pictures like we did last year! Cooper loved the flags and still asks where they went. This month we also had Lanie's birthday party! So much fun! The cousins had a lot of fun playing together!!

Some random Cooperisms:

"I ride in the skuller."-- the stroller
He loves veggie tatos.-- veggie tales
"I play with my domdidoes."-- dominoes
The er day-- the other day. He is always saying what he did the other day.
