2012 has been good to us. It was a year of a new marriage and a new business. A year of learning how to take better pictures and a year of turning a whole-hearted love for capturing weddings, families and people into a living. It was a year of learning to work better together, a year of patience, fun and adventure. We met some amazing new friends, traveled a bit, spent time with family and with our cats. Our house became a home. It was a year of dining out and in, balancing jobs and laundry and trying to keep up important relationships despite busy weekends. Mostly it was a year of falling even more in love with each other. We are so thankful and so blessed. Cheers to 2013, we can only imagine what it may have in store.

Leah + Brian // engaged // Durham, NC

posted by Lauren Leah has been my best friend since sophomore year of high school when I was the new girl in town and she befriended me. She is marrying Brian. They are totally in love and I could not be happier for them. We visited these two at their home in North Carolina and while hiking through gorgeous wintery woods and gardens, visiting little shops and eating way too much, we took a few photos.

Chase + Sydnie // Engaged

posted by Daniel Chase and Sydnie are our newest friends. They are great. Super great. We spent the afternoon taking photos in downtown Omaha and finished the night with a few drinks after we put the cameras away.

Their wedding next year is at an art gallery downtown and the reception is at a wine bar. Count us in.
