Here she is only minutes old.

When we went home, Abigail jumped for joy exclaiming Baby Anna!

We’ll have a shoot of her and Abigail coming.

Back in 2006, our second wedding was his sister Rebekah.  We were there to take pictures of him as he lit candles for her but found other uses for the candlesnuffer.

Here’s a quick candid of him in all his youthful glory on an elevator.

Rebekah’s wedding went well.  So, in the summer of 2007, we were there to take his senior pictures.

The rock star of those senior pictures went on to join Two Cent Offering after high school.  We were there in 2008 too.

Then in 2009, one of his bandmates, Keith married Becky.  We were there in the morning when Jacob served Nelson an Iced Americano at Starbucks before the wedding, then suited up for his role next to Keith.

One of my personal favorite looks he has pulled off over the years.

2010 was our year off from Jacob.  Looking back through the archives I don’t think we took any.

But don’t worry.  We were there in 2011 when Jacob needed engagement pictures after proposing to his long-time girlfriend Teresa.

And, finally, in our first shoot of 2012, we were there when Jacob first turned and saw his beautiful bride on their wedding day.

Congratulations.  It has been a privilege growing as photographers with you in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, and 2012.

In other news, don’t accept checks from the man in the moon.  They don’t have any weight to them.

What it looks like to be married more than 65 years in front of a house he built 60 years ago.

Along with Matt.

Dirt. Dirt. Truck. Dirt. Dirt. Dirt.

When I look at these 2, I just think of how blessed Piper is to get this mama and this daddy.

Will very obediently kissing his new little sister.

I predict this one to be a favorite of the two siblings when they’re older.  :)

On a personal note, I am so thankful to have known Molly since kindergarten.  She is one of the first friends from school I remember having over (I can picture her all dressed up in a black and white polkadot dress…probably preparing for a tea party.).  Since kindergarten, she has consistently been a close friend, and through motherhood, she’s grown even dearer to me.  I look up to her in so many ways.  It was so fun to be pregnant together for a few months, and I can’t wait for our little girls to be buddies once my little one arrives!

I can’t end this post without saying a special thanks to my amazing assistant Laura for her mad reflector-wielding and baby-calming skills, with the extra bonuses of catching up and iced mochas.  You are a keeper!

Congratulations.
