(can you hear me screaming it like Ty Pennington does on Extreme Makeover Home Edition when he yells "MOOOVEEE THAAAT BUSSSSS!!" ???? Well....I digress....)

BUT I absolutely *adore* these two beautiful models, Alex and Jess, that I had the pleasure of photographing last week. They are hot and they know it....they even got in a little kissy kiss on the stairs (which you will see later...). Our group of 6 photogs (including myself) trapsed them all around downtown Stillwater, MN and enjoyed every click of the camera!



*my fave*  Those eyes and THOSE DIMPLES! :)

Maeve is teensie and I *love* her! She is a little Irish girls with pale skin and blue eyes and perhaps some strawberry blond hair too (just like her Daddy)! Maeve was born 2 months early and spent some time in the NICU before coming home and right now only weighs 7 pounds at 3 months old. She is the sparkle of her new house and have Mommy and Daddy in love!

Joel can make Shauna giggle, crack up and nearly pee her pants at the drop of a hat! TRUE STORY! These 2 are absolutely fun and do nothing but entertain each other with their funny one-liners, comments and super outgoing personalities! They are tying the knot in September and I am soooo excited for the big day!

So I have to start by saying how amazing is it that their names rhyme??? I am sure over the course of their lifetime that they will (and are) getting hints on what to name their kids once that time comes.....like Drake! I mean for real....didn't all of you want to marry someone with a rhyming name....like Emily and Schmemmelie??? Well, that one didn't work but you get the point......

For real though, last weekend this wedding was crazy great! The wedding party was a blast, the bride was STUNNING (you will see how amazing she is in some of these photos), the flowers smelled amazing and the party was hoppin! When I showed up to the River Falls Spa and Salon Blake was glowing and didn't stop the whole day.....her grin just got even more pronounced when she saw Jake for the first time. These two love birds met in high school and have been gaa-gaa ever since...going to college together, buying their first house and then moving back up to their hometown to tie the knot! They are truely in love and man did it show!!! :)

This tiny little bundle is the perfect addition to the Anchetta family! She is a peanut (only 6 pounds 5 ounces when born) and is the MOST chill baby I have EVER met! The session was record speed because we didn't have a peep, cry, wink or sounds while we moved, changed and wiggled her around on her very first picture day. I think that someone can easily convince me to have a baby right now if they all seemed as easy as Sophia! WHEW!

Good Morning World and Good Morning Pug! Today is your 8th birthday pug and you will get many many bones to celebrate!

For those of you that haven't ever met our pug, Edward, well first of all you NEED to come over for a visit to meet his snoring personality and secondly he is the best dog on the planet! He sleeps 23 out of 24 hours in the day, he loves to cuddle (which makes me happy on cold winter nights), he snores even when he isn't sleeping, he often falls asleep while standing up, he always writes our Christmas letter, and he loves Aaron and I very much! We usually call him pug because......well.....he is a pug, but his name is Edward Leroy (every pet MUST have a middle name in our opinion!) I don't know where the name "pug" came from but all I know is that when our little 15 month old friend Nora comes over to play and calls him "puhhh puhhh" it makes me happy that we call him pug.

The other day we were outside cleaning out the garden so I decided to take a few photos of him...although he HATES the camera because he only has one eye and for some reason it bothers him.....I was able to get a few...



So, happy birthday old boy. We hope there are many more snoring years ahead!
