Jon and Mallory's Wedding

I am so glad that it worked out for me to do this wedding!  I have know Mallory for a while, but we haven't had much contact the last few years.  So I was fairly surprised when she contacted me asking if I was available to take her wedding pictures the following month.  I knew that I already had a busy weekend scheduled, but I knew that Mallory had clearly had a rough time getting a photographer, so I didn't want to let her down when she was already almost out of time.  So I said yes!

The wedding party included a lot of people that I used to hang out with a lot as well as some people I still see all the time!  I also found out that the groom's parents knew my grandma and my parents quite well which was very interesting!  We had a lot of fun doing the group pictures!

The wedding ceremony was so beautiful!  I loved the emphasis there was on God's love displayed through their marriage.

Mallory and Jon's dads are both Pastors, and so they both helped with the ceremony.

The reception was simple and classy.  I loved being able to get pictures at different levels of the building.

This was such a wonderful and beautiful day despite the frigid temperatures!  I felt so honored that I got to witness this special union!  Congratulations Jon and Mallory!

Hezekiah

I have a new nephew!!  Hezekiah Daniel was born yesterday at 4:39 pm!  He is 7 lb 14 oz and 20.5" long!  Little Zeke was passed around to his brother, sister, mom, and dad.  :)

His toes are really long, but they are so cute!!  :)

Isn't he so adorable?!?!?

Right before I left, Zeke opened his eyes to look at his daddy!  :)

Emilia

Emilia stayed awake or at least half awake almost the whole time I took picture of her.  She didn't seem to like that I kept moving her around.  She specifically didn't like the lights in her eyes.  But when she settled down, she was fun to work with and so freakin adorable!  These are some of my favorite pictures from our time together!

We had to incorporate some Christmas into this shoot since it's that season!  :)

This adorable hat was made for me by Vicci from Vicci's Little Critters! You can check out the great stuffed animals she makes by going to her website at www.viccislittlecritters.com or her etsy store at https://www.etsy.com/shop/ViccisLittleCritters. :) 

I love her tiny little feet!!  This was such a fun photo shoot!  Emilia is so very precious!  

David, Melanie, and Alene

This photo shoot was so much fun and I seriously love this family!  (Once again, if you are just now following this, that is my brother, sister-in-law, and niece!)  This photo shoot was kinda thrown together last minute, but it went SO well!!  

This first picture is probably my favorite!! :)

I love how happy my niece was the entire time!!  :)

Fort Wayne Contra Dance

This was such a fun evening for me!  I never knew that this group existed until I was hired to take pictures of them!  I am so glad that it worked out for me to be there!  

If you are interested in joining this group, they get together on the third Saturday of the month.  You can get more information at: http://www.contrafortwayne.org/  :)

The music was so awesome!  I was sometimes distracted by watching the musicians instead of always watching the dancing.  :)
