*ebay:

above:  $4 flags-of-the-world soccer ball = ridiculously happy boy

*dimples (+ delight!)

the question of the season:  how many snuggies were found under trees xmas morn?

*artistic (albeit wacky) kids AND wacky kids!:


2 things 9-year-old Tycho loves most:  the beatles + the alamo

(3, 4, 5 would be “beer lids”; the KC Chiefs; and poker) ~

so our clever teenage daughter added a little collage cover to his present. HUGE hit! HUGE!

(fyi above: that’s Ringo remembering the Alamo in deep sepia-toned contemplation)

Tycho loves The Beatles SO MUCH that his Christmas List mainly consisted of Beatles shirts…he got THREE and couldn’t be happier…

* did i mention ebay?

 

since #6 on “Tycho’s favorite things list” would be LEGOS; “people” and “weapons” (to stage the alamo btw)

topping the most desired of all ~ but tough to find without buying gigantic high dollar sets,

UNLESS SANTA SHOPS EBAY AND GETS THIS WHOLE ZIPLOC BAG for pennies on the dollar. fyi: AND Paul’s new favorite lego piece, found!

* man’s/family’s best friend. introducing, LUCILLE. oh we love her so ~ and there’s the artistic teen by Lucille’s side.

[side note: Avery looking that good first thing in the morning without a hint of make-up clearly genes from Paul's side....]

*silly, subtle resemblence:

it’s not just the eyes, the nose, the smile, the teeth (?) ~ but even the tilt of the head that makes kids look like their favorite people. camera’s tend to capture that better than the eye, and THAT is one of the things I love most of all.

hoping YOUR Christmas was equally wacky, and merry, and bright!

stay warm! ~ amy

’tis hard for wedding photographers to enjoy a wedding sans camera. there’s something about lens-in-hand that helps us see and *experience* the moments. just wanted to say:  jeff, jeff, jeff . . . i love you, man. more pics coming your way; couldn’t help myself. ~amyl

and BLOG READER BONUS TIME . . .

be the first to name the dance move pictured (hint: karaoke is involved) and an iTunes gift card will be yours to help you get YOUR groove on

i loved it. i loved it. i loved it!

let me connect the dots a bit:

MEET beth + jayme . . . 

authentic originals with a style all their own . . .

beth is the youngest of FOUR sisters and as early as saturday morning at the salon, i wished i was ONE of them.

and their relationship with their mom:  heart-warming, heart-melting, heart-lifting . . .

beth + jayme’s wedding took place in beth’s backyard, an amazing place for friends + family to gather

and oh my how SMASHING does jayme’s mom look in that shade of blue! love, love, LOVE the dance here between the blue and the floral orange:

annika miller consistently delights us with her eye and her spirit, and THESE IMAGES might be some of her strongest to date. wow:

and AFTER they said the “i-dos” — we headed just down the road to an old MILL. yes, a MILL!!

what an amazing place to spend some quiet time with the newest of newlyweds!

yet the celebration had only just begun!

we LOVE pulling out the creative stops and gently coaching couples to create jaw-dropping magazine-quality images like the ones above, but perhaps even more meaningful:  OMG real moments in real time:

joy. joy. joy!  this is a HIGHLIGHT SLIDESHOW you’ve just gotta see:  beth + jayme  ::  married!

and see above, BIG BIG thanks to brooke + allen of ORIGINALS PAPER ART for introducing beth + jayme to silverbox

[brooke directly above "bridal" beth, and i'm by her side ~ that's allen, Originals Box Set Builder between brooke and beth's sister, kim.]

can I just say this?  to have had the opportunity to document beth + jayme’s wedding, well, annika and i are lucky, lucky girls.
