Christian+Sam | Sneak Peek!

My husband and I just got back from a whirlwind of a road trip with our good friends to see his family in Grass Valley! We were literally there for about the same amount of time we were in the car! I will have a post of our trip up soon.

While we were there, I had a chance to take Christian+Sam's engagement pictures...I'm freaking out about this e-session!!! Can't wait to post all the photos!! For now, I leave you with this....

The NEW KITCHEN | For real :]

There is a jeep parked next to my chair in my office today. Why, you ask? Well, because today my office is Toyota of Escondido (said in the catchy radio jingle voice, of course). My sweet husband just got a "new to him" truck! This thing is a beast, a mini version of his dad's truck. It is so cute when I see him pull up in the driveway and I automatically see a "mini Gary" both in the truck and the man driving it! Since my father-in-law is a seriously awesome guy I love that I see even one more comparison to him in my husband, even if it is a truck! ANYWAY, after driving this monstrous piece of machinery 45 minutes, getting weird glances from other manly truck drivers who wonder why this girl is driving this truck, I am now sitting in "my office" waiting for his alarm system to be installed...for four hours! SHEESH! Good thing I have tons of photos to edit!

Let's get to the good stuff! THE KITCHEN! If you look closely you will probably see my dad's blood, sweat and tears (not really). I guess you will see for yourselves the transformation of our kitchen/house. And 99.9% of what you see, my dad did. How does he know how to do all this stuff?? Who knows! Google? You Tube? However he knows it, he is good at anything! You will see that in the pictures. Living in a house with broken windows, an exposed attic and no kitchen was definitely an adventure to say the least. We feel so incredibly blessed to have a dad that could save us so much money and give us a kitchen from our dreams, sacrifice early mornings and super late nights and work so hard to make our house become our HOME.

THANKS DAD! Check out your handy work :]

Wolfe Family Shoot | New Kitchen, New House!

Happy Wednesday! As many of you know, my husband and I bought our first home in January!! WOO! We love our little house...now. When we first moved in the house was, well, kinda in need of some TLC. Thanks a ton to my amazing father (aka electrician, plumber, contractor, window installer, demolition man, architect..ect) we were able to turn this house into a home! Are you ready to see photos of the final project???? Well you are going to have to wait :] That is next on my list!

For now, I leave you with a sneak peek of an amazing family, the Wolfes! You are going to wish you were in this family....

Hanna+ Randy:: Married!!

My assistant snores...loud! Not only does he snore, but he follows me everywhere, even into the bathroom! Did I mention my assistant is my dog, Tazer? That probably would have been good to know :] He is laying at my feet while I edit photos, snoring as loud as a grown man! I love having him with me all day. In a previous blog post about our new little addition I said I would explain why his name was Tazer, so here you go! My husbands family has a tradition of sorts to name their dogs after brands of guns...yes, firearms. Their last name is Smith so they have a lab named Wesson (after Smith & Wesson for those of you who are not as well versed in guns. Don't worry I was right there with you). They have another dog named Ruger as well as a grand dog named Nelli (after Benelli, duh!) So naturally we would follow suit. I made a joke at the beginning of the process of naming this pup that we should name him BB, or shot, or airsoft. Those are guns, right!? Im sure my husband was loving the sarcasm :] Then I made a joke that we should name him Tazer since my husband is dabbling with the idea of becoming a cop...and it stuck! So there you are folks, the reason my dog is named after a gun that uses 50kv of electricity over thin steel wires to stun a criminals motor and sensory nervous system! HA!

Last weekend, my husband and I had the JOY of attending a great friends wedding in San Clemente. Randy is a dear friend to my husband, first being a floormate his first year of college to a roommate in an amazing house called the Tabernacle (woo!! my favorite boys!). Later he became a groomsman in our wedding a year ago! Randy and I also starred as the lead roles in the 2009 Mock Rock at Biola (did I mention we won?!!). We had the privilege of witnessing the very beginning of Hanna and Randy's relationship and knew they were perfect together! Speaking of perfect, their wedding was as adorable as they are! This crafty couple made most of the decor and the details were just perfect. I was armed with just my 35mm and no flash since I was taking the train up and could only carry so much! BUT I couldn't show up without my camera and I just had to share a few shots from the day :]

The amazing ceremony site, how awesome is the background!







These two are up next to get hitched!! Looking forward to their wedding :]
My husband and his friend Miles...oh these two...
My husband and his friend Greg (aka the ginge). These guys are the funniest you will ever meet!

They had the most adorable coffee bar!
Again, I was armed with no flash and extremely low light but I worked it out!

GAHH I can't get enough of these two! Gorgeous couple!!
Couldn't pick just one, so I picked like four!
Precious, right?!
Congrats Hanna + Randy! You guys deserve the BEST and I can't wait to hear all about the honeymoon! Welcome to the Tabernacle Wife's Club Hanna, now there are two of us :] Love you guys!
