Stephen + Jordi // New Plymouth Idaho Rustic Farm Wedding

Young love. When I first met Stephen and Jordi it was the sweetest thing I had ever seen. Jordi had "prepped" me in the engagement session that they weren't going to kiss in the photos. Before I could even ask why she explained that they were saving the kiss for their wedding day!! I LOVED that!

The wedding took place at Stephen's family's home, where he grew up, in New Plymouth, Idaho. The house was an old farmhouse with all the beautiful wood and details. There were cows, chickens and kids running around with a sweet little white doggie. They had prepared for this day restoring the barn to use for the ceremony and dinner. I felt truly like family! This was a beautiful day full of tears and laughter! A big thank you to Jordan and Stephen's family for being the kindest hosts and welcoming me into their lives. Please enjoy the telling of "Stephen and Jordi's wedding day story..."

Baby Lucia: December 31st 2013

My dearest friend Sonia had her sweet little girl yesterday and I wouldn't miss documenting this beautiful day for the whole world!

When I arrived Sonia's mom and her husband, father and sister were waiting in the waiting room. Her boys were busy playing video games while we watched the clock tick. A couple hours went by while a bit of worry crept in. She had a scheduled c-section and was typically a pretty easy procedure. 

Finally, Miguel came through the doors and we all leaped up! He said everything was fine and that a few of us could go see the baby while the doctors worked on mommy. Oh what a moment that was! Her mom, sister, dad and I got to peer through the glass at the "minutes old" baby Lucia! We ooed and awhed a bunch, a few tears and hugs then we came back to the waiting room. They said it would be awhile before we could see Sonia so we all had a bite to eat and came back. They gave the word and we finally were able to go see mommy! The boys came in the room and the reaction was priceless! Welcome sweet Lucia!!!
