My husband’s little sister got married on Friday and we’ve been looking forward to this day for awhile! It was fantastically fun even though it was super hot outside!

Being a bridesmaid in the wedding, I was not the official photographer (could you imagine that? A big, 36-week-pregnant woman chasing a bride and taking her pictures on the hottest day of the year???)

So here are 3 fun shots from the day…

When bride and groom first saw each other, they requested that the group of us don’t just all ‘hang out of the windows oogooling at their romantic moment’…. but mother of the bride couldn’t resist sneaking a peek through the bottom of the window!!!

Fast forward to the reception where Roman the ring bearer steals a dance with his “Auntie”.

And finally, here I am big as a house and still standing, or I guess you could say dancing….

I’m continuing to update my blog with sessions from earlier this month! There may be a point where you’ll see your photos even after this little baby comes. Keep checking back for more!

Trend Alert!!!
Top knots have been a favorite on fashion-week catwalks, with celebrities and around town.

The first image is from Catherine Malandrino’s most recent fall show where lead stylist Odile piled the models’ hair into curly, highly-textured buns.

The next one, while I feel is a little severe, still works as a decent top knot at the Marc Jacobs spring show.

Now Hollywood’s leading ladies are rocking modern, chic versions of the top knot to complement their sassy summer wardrobe of sleek minis, cropped jackets and smart shorts.

Recently, Vanessa Hudgens (pictured far right) wore my favorite version at a red carpet event. Her dark locks were pulled up into a perfectly imperfect knot with a few face-framing strands left free. This sexy summer style can surely take the heat—making it perfect for beachfront weddings or all-night raves. I’ve been starting to see it around town and will be interested in how this fun, summer time updo transitions to the fall! 🙂

I loved getting to know this family!
Caedmon is one luckly little guy. He’s got a beautiful & loving mom, and strong-leader of a dad and a sweet, adorable sister who seems pretty happy to have a new little brother (…and at just one week into the process)!

Cademon’s name means “Wise Warrior” which is pretty cool. I loved hearing about how mom and dad decided at the last minute to go with that name. Also, they decided on the middle name, Lee, which means “sheltered from the storm”. That was also really neat since he was born in the middle of one of our HUGE midwestern thunderstorms. Apparently it blew through right as he was born but wasn’t present before his birth or much after. I love knowing interesting stories and meanings behind name choices, I’m sure some day he’ll love it too.

Thanks to Caedmon’s mommy and daddy for having me out to take your photos! You guys were great. Hope you’re getting settled in now as a family of FOUR! 🙂
