Lauren and I started planning her wedding almost a year before they got engaged. Just because we knew it was coming and we wanted to be ready! So once it became official, Lauren knocked down her list of "to-do's" in lightening speed. Within a few months, because of their mutual love of baseball, they took their engagement photos at Angels' Stadium which inspired their Save the Date game tickets. But their actual wedding was themed to camping, the great outdoor woods, and bright sunny sunflowers—and the Oak Canyon Nature Center was the perfect location to host their I-do's. Lauren likes to keep things simple so when she presented me with her wedding invitation ideas, they came together pretty easily. I just loved working on her invites! From their arrow through the heart monogram to the twine wrapped invitation suite to that wooden texture paper. Such a dream! Her invitations came with a map, a registry card, and a RSVP postcard

We arrived at the hospital at 8 p.m. By 10:30, we were able to give little Parker a kiss on the cheek and praise God for his little life. Granted his mama had been there since 6 a.m. :) Either way, litte Parker's arrival got me thinking about life. And how intricate God has made each and every one of us. And how "the big bang theory" doesn't fly with me when you see a half hour old baby, see him cooing right up against his mommy. Knowing that man and wife created this life by God's grace. That doesn't just "happen." That doesn't just evolve. Because really, our bodies fall apart over time. They don't evolve throughout our lifespan and get better, they slowly decay. So no, I do not believe that life came from a spark or whatever the latest evidence and research has proven. I believe whole-heartedly that there is a God who created me, created you, and created this world for our temporary enjoyment. For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. I whole-heartedly believe that life starts at conception,

The day was planned as an evening in to craft for Rachel's May baby shower (themed fairytale storybook), but we of course couldn't resist the backwoods of Menifee and the sprawling fields that are just minutes away from the Baby Shower Crafting Center—i.e. my house. :) So this is the results of the question "wanna do a quick 10 minute mini shoot before we start crafting the night away?" Rachel is only 26 weeks here in these photos, we plan to take the "real" photos next month
