It’s so hard to get work done when this little girl is looking at me with those eyes, begging me to read stories. Thank goodness she still takes long naps. :-)
This month we tried pigtails for the first time. And the last time. Those teeny tiny plastic elastics are tough! So we will continue to use a bow to keep the hair out of her eyes.
Elodie favorite thing is being outside – playing with sand and rocks, splashing in a tub of water, and watching birds, puppies and bunnies.
Whenever a couple plans something ‘a little different’ for their wedding, you know it’s going to be unique. And unique weddings are the most special. Like when Erik + Kirsten decided to get married in her parents’ yard in the Black Hills – unique, special and meaningful!!
I loooooove ‘little people and big trees’ and Kirsten’s parents’ yard was perfect for just that!!
First kiss followed by a high five! These two are just too much fun. :-)
Erik + Kirsten – Thank you so much for putting together the most chill wedding! The ‘GoodTinks’ will always hold a special place in my heart – you guys are the best! :-)
Trevor + Kerry’s Rapid City wedding was the definition of classic. You just can’t go wrong with gray suits, navy dresses, lace, pearls and peonies! 
First looks get me EVERY TIME!!! If you’re planning your wedding and you’re not sure if you want to see each other before the wedding, here are the main two reasons I suggest doing a first look.
Loooove the kiddos in this next photo!!
Trevor + Kerry – Thanks so much for having me!! I loved being a part of your day – it was absolutely wonderful!
Location, flowers and decorations can make a wedding beautiful, but what makes a wedding memorable are the people who come to share it with the bride and groom. Matt + Katie’s wedding was equally beautiful and meaningful. As they visited with each table at their reception, they smiled and laughed with each group, and you could tell how thankful they were to enjoy this special day together.
Matt + Katie, Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of your sweet and fun wedding. It’s obvious how much your friends + family love you, and I think that says a lot about you and the marriage you are just beginning. You are really, truly very blessed. :-)
When a wedding has ten attendants for each the bride and groom and the colors are pink and GLITTER, you know it’s going to be a party. A very pretty party. :-)
Shantell and her glam squad. :-)
Shantell was the dancing-est bride I’ve ever seen! Wiggles and jumps all the way up the aisle to Fernie. :-D
When you ask Fernie and Shantell to do a formal portrait, this is what you get… followed by snuggles. :-)
Their reaction to Shantell’s maid of honor singing her speech. With backup dancers.
Fernie + Shantell – Thank you for bringing your amazing selves and friends + family to South Dakota for your wedding!!! I wish we could do this every single weekend! :-)
