Oh, weekend… Why did you have to end so soon? Sometimes, actually MOST of the time, I feel like my life is flying by. It’s 2013. It’s almost February. Aaron & I have almost been married for a YEAR. I guess I should stop saying, “I can’t believe we’re married!” all the time. I’ve lived in Arkansas for almost a year. I’m turning 24 in April. My little brother is about to graduate from college. Seriously, life stops for nothing! It’s times that I stop to think about all these things that I am reminded of the truth of Psalm 144:4:

“Man is like a breath, his days are like a passing shadow.”

While I am so blessed to live the life God has given me, I am SO THANKFUL that this life is only a passing shadow when compared with the glory of eternity! My prayer this morning is that I will be faithful with the short time I’ve been given on earth and that everyday I live can be marked as a day I brought glory to my sweet Savior. If you came to my blog to see a post about the adorable Weber family, don’t worry, it is coming. Sometimes, I just get a little distracted and have to ramble a bit. :)

The Webers are one of the awesome families that I’ve met through our church. Dustin & Lyndsey have an adorable 1 year-old named Graham, and they are just smitten with him. Yay for first-borns! I loved shooting their mini-session… So many smiles and amazing light! Check out my favorites!

Seriously, ya’ll are adorable!

Those eyes… Future heartbreaker right here. Mark my words.

This is what I mean when I say “perfect light”.

Such an awesome session!

In other news, today is Wizard of Oz windy. I’m a little worried that Noley is going to blow off the porch.

Happy Monday! :)

Here’s another installment of Oh, How Pinteresting! I know it’s not even close to being on topic with photography, but in an effort to blog consistently, I’m realizing that I need to have a totally brainless post every once in a while. This definitely does the trick. Here are some of my favorite Pinterest finds from the week! And you can follow me by clicking the ‘Pinterest’ link on the menu above. :)

If I was the mailman that drove up to this mailbox, I’m fairly certain my year would be made!

How adorable is this vintage button necklace? It looks like it would be pretty easy to make and customize, so I’ll definitely be attempting to recreate it soon!

Is it possible to fall in love with pantry doors? Because I think I have. Poor Aaron will have so many projects to do when we buy a house one day.

Someone needs to buy me this STAT.

Just in case I don’t have enough projects I want to attempt, I think I should add “learn to do hand-stitched embroidery” to the list.
What’s one more project, right??

And there are simply no words for this last one but amen & amen…

It’s the weekend!!! Hope yours is fantastic. :)

Aaron & I have been so blessed to meet such amazing families through our church, and I love that so many of them have been turning into clients and friends! Perry works at our church with Aaron but on one of the other campuses, and Beth sings like an angel. Seriously! She sang ‘Oh Holy Night’ at our Christmas program, and I wanted to take her home and make her sing us to sleep every night. That sounds creepier written down than when I initially had the thought. It’s been awesome getting to know them since we moved to the great state of Arkansas. :)

Our shoot was the first time I’d spent more than a few seconds around their kids, Everett & Lyric. Now, I totally have to brag on them because they did amazing during the shoot, despite the fact that it was FREEZING… I think the temperature had dropped into the upper 20’s by the time we were done! We had to improvise a little and let Everett and Lyric warm up in their van between shots because they were shivering. Poor kids! And somehow, the result was still amazing. I had so much fun with the Gaglianos, and I would love for you to check out some of my favorites for our session…

This boy LOVES his momma!

So sweet!

Everett has quite the personality that had me cracking up the whole shoot!

Do they make these shoes in adult sizes? Cause I totally want to get some for Aaron.

One of my favorites!

Lyric is so beautiful and has the CRAZIEST eyes! Seriously, you’ll see in a couple of shots how pretty they are!
Also, I wanted to steal her dress & headband for myself… TOTALLY on brand for me!

AH! Love these next ones so much!

Seriously, people. Not an ounce of photoshop here, and her eyes are still bright as day. Perry, you’re going to be in trouble with her.

If these next ones don’t melt your heart, I don’t know what will.

Stop it. Ya’ll are adorable!

Beth, you are RIDICULOUS. I mean, really. You’re making all the other moms jealous.

I’m ending with my absolute favorite. This one is actually a contender for my favorite family shot ever. So much love and happiness… I can’t help but smile. :)

Happy Thursday! Yay for it almost being the weekend!
