hannah will be starting high school as a freshman this fall. we only had a little bit of time for pictures because my weekend was filled with sara and andrew's wedding stuff, but still came out with some good pictures!

my favorite of the session!

hannah loves the chickens. she even tucks them in bed every night!

parking lot after party

after the wedding festivities were over, some of us hung out for a while in the parking lot. smoking cigars, blowing bubbles, and making out. I guess some of us were feeling a bit romantic from all this wedding stuff.

bubbles.

wedding fever.

oh brian.

it's spreading like wildfire. wedding fever, that is.

bliss.

b.a. cigars and jason's pretty bubbles.

this is what happiness looks like.

the sas wedding

sara and andrew got married sunday! even though I was in the wedding, I made sure to bring my camera along to get some good pictures. they only had the photographer for a limited amount of time, so I got to get up early to experience the getting ready of a bride and 8 bridesmaids. I also captured some great pictures of them leaving the reception as mr. & mrs. sas. congratulations guys. I wish you the best of luck. thanks for letting me be a part of your day. sara was the 2nd most beautiful bride I have ever seen (my wife being #1, sorry sara).

there was A LOT of hair.

something old: her great-grandmother's pearls.

beautiful.

stunna shades. my wife is freakin' hot.

I was the only guy allowed in the women's restroom...with a camera too.

vogue.

I told you she was hot.

do you think they liked the car?

balloons!

mr. & mrs. sas have left the building.

elk river

we went to elk river about 2 weeks ago. it was a fun trip with lots of fishing, and I got to wear my knife on my belt without feeling like a redneck. *note: I obviously couldn't take the pictures that my beautiful face (or back of my head) is featured in. the credit belongs to my beautiful wife.

fishin'

thumbs up! (my fish looks like a thumb, kinda)

first catch o' the day

huckleberry ice cream at the general store

people actually live here...

we told Miriam we had to leave, but she wasn't done with her ice cream...

...but we let her finish it first

fluffy bailey in my really cool truck

*note the glove. because of my excitement, I wrapped my hand around the smallmouth bass. bad idea. smallmouth bass have spines.

wes caught a bobber. it had a white crappie on the end. it too had spines (on top AND bottom).
