MARCY'S MARRIED!!! WOOT WOOT!!

One of my very best friends MARCY got married last week. Marcy and I went to high school together and were roommates in college. She is the the sweetest most down to earth girl there is. She has the most laid back, easy to get along with personality. She is a great catch and Taylor is one lucky guy!! It was cool to see Marcy SO happy, because she deserves the best. Her big smile didn't leave her face all day. The wedding turned out absolutely perfect and the weather was beautiful all day. Marcy, you were were a gorgeous bride and I wish you a life of happiness and love. We love you!! Here are some pictures I took throughout the day.

Girls night before the BIG day!!

5 YEARS!!

Kevin and I celebrated our five year anniversary on September 17th. We went to dinner in Park City at a really nice restaurant called Chimayo. Kevin had Spare ribs and potatoes, I had coconut halibut. It was SO good! Since it was our anniversary they brought us a chocolate fondue pot to our table with fruit, cookies, etc. It was delicious!! I'm so glad that I made the decision to marry Mr. Kevin Smith. He has been my best friend, an amazing husband, great roommate, and not to mention a wonderful dad. I cannot believe it has been five years. I love you SO much Kevin! Thanks for all you do! Thanks for taking care of us!! I cannot wait to spend eternity with you!

OUR STORY:

I remember the first time I met Kevin. We went to the same high school and had mutual friends, but it wasn't until the summer of 2002. I went with my high school girl friends on a cruise to Mexico. Kevin and his buddies went on the same trip. We hung out a little on the cruise, and when we got home we started to hang out more in a big group of friends. We became really good friends. We would always go to movies together. We would talk all the time, we would even talk with each other about those we were dating. One night we were hanging out with friends watching a movie and that night Kevin kissed me. I remember being completely shocked, but the more I thought about it the more I realized I like Kevin a lot. At first I was nervous to start a relationship because our friend ship was so good. I had plans to move to Boston and work for a year. I moved away and Kevin and I continued to talk all the time. He came out to visit and I came home a lot. When I moved home we continued to date. We dated for about a year. Then Kevin purposed to me. I never would have thought that in five years we would have bought our first fixer upper home, fixed it up and sold it, bought our second home, raised our crazy dog Tank, had our beautiful daughter Paisley. Life goes by way to fast!!

PHOTO SHOOT ANYONE??

Okay so I have finally decided to pursue one of my passions in life, PHOTOGRAPHY!! I have always loved photography. I remember when I was a kid my friends and I would dress up and take pictures of each other. I also remember bribing the little kids that my mom watched growing up to let me do there hair, dress them up and do a photo shoot with props and homemade backdrops. I took a couple photography classes in high school. It wasn't until I became a mom that I wanted to really get serious about it. Kevin bought me a camera for my birthday in May and I have loved everything about it. I took a photography/mentoring class from Jami a photographer out of Utah County http://imagesbyjami.com/. It was so fun and I learned so much. I'm wanting to get some more experience and build my portfolio so I will be offering portraits at a REALLY affordable price, until I get my portfolio together. If you would like to get photos done please email me at amberjune84@gmail.com to schedule a time. I can do (Children, Newborns, Families, Pets, Couples, Seniors, Maternity) Here are some photos from a session I did recently of a adorable 2 yr old little boy Kael. What a little stud muffin!!

FUNNY FACES!!

Paisley has started doing this really funny face. She squints her eyes and scrunches up her nose. She does it when she is excited about something or sometimes just randomly. It is so funny !!
