PYLAND LOVE


I took my friends family pictures yesterday real quick and gave Jack the RAW images for him to edit.  I'm about to leave out of town and didn't know if I would have time to complete them.  Nicole asked if I would go through them and pick my favorites and edit them whenever I had time to see our differences.  

I just gave myself 30 minutes to play around and I actually had fun goofing around with the images.  Aren't they the most adorable family ever?!












Love you Pylands!

Love, Sarah

BEECHER "MO" MOSHER


This last Sunday we flew up to Boston to attend Paul's Uncle Mo's funeral in Hartford Connecticut.  Paul looked up to Mo for many reasons and even created our game room after his.  It was one of Paul's favorite places to go.  I was lucky enough to meet Mo a few years ago when we traveled up to Boston.  

I believe these are the moments in life that are priceless.  Mo's passing brought the entire family back together.  We traveled from Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Texas, and Hawaii.  Missing only Renee and Shawn from the group (Lynda was there the night before).  With Aunt Mary in the middle who is 95.

The cousins haven't seen each other since they were kids.  ...can you spot Paul in the white shorts?!

 But it was as if no time had past.  It did however show how fast life can go by.  

Here's Paul's mom, Cindy and her siblings: Richard, Bev, and Tony.

Aren't they beautiful?  Here they are on Bev's wedding day to Mo.


Just gorgeous.

Mo gave us all a gift during the holidays of a feeling of family.  When it comes down to it, nothing is stronger.

A DAY WITH RYDER


Today Paul had a "guys day" with his buddies watching all the football games and I decided to hang out with one of my friends and her son at the park.  We took some pictures for a possible Christmas card shot and Ryder brought the cuteness.  

He is a total rock star and at age 3 he can jam out to jingle bells or any other pop song on the radio.   

He ran into one of his friends at the park and immediately pulled out his harmonica and played her a tune.   

We then played on the swings...


Climbed trees... 



...and threw leaves. 


Could he be any cooler?  ...I didn't think so.

Have a great Monday everybody!

Love, Sarah

Two Please!


Friday afternoon I shot my friends maternity pictures.  It was the most calm and tranquil shoot I've ever done.  She gave off this deep hearted peaceful aura.  It just felt right.

 

I can't wait to meet her two beautiful girls, Addison and Parker.  I already know they're lucky girls to have Gina and Derek as their parents.


Charli has a tall duty to protect her growing family.

Love, Sarah

Lindsey + Andrew


I had four dates for the wedding of my life time.  It was for one of Paul's clients daughters, Lindsey. ...but go ahead and throw that whole sentence in the trash because it doesn't hold the value they hold in our hearts.  And even though I've only hung around Lindsey a handful of times I have a great bond to her, like as if we come from the same tree.  

...getting back to it, here are a few detail shots.  She had a complete crew shooting her wedding so I just snagged some shots of the amazing decor. 


The wedding was held at their family compound at Cedar Creek Lake.  We sat surrounded by nature and circled the bride and groom as they took their vows.



We then made our way to the barn where we dined from four different restaurants with sushi, Italian, Mediterranean and Indian cuisine.


Isn't her centerpieces made of Pinterest dreams? 


This is a picture of her parents, John and Linda's wedding day.  Now don't get me started on her parents, especially her mom.  I don't even have the words.  She's definitely an inspiration to me and such a beautiful person, inside and out.

This is where I sat.  I wanted to take home my "placemat" so bad, but Paul wouldn't let me.  How freaking cute is this??


If you know Paul, then you know that he loves his Jager.  He brought a couple bottles of Jager to the party beforehand and I think our table alone put a good dent in them.


The love that both their parents possess for each other has created this extremely special relationship between Lindsey and Andrew.  It's as if the love and nurturing they both have received over their lifetime has all been for this moment where they can now share with each other.  It's so beautiful to witness.  



Congratulations.

Love, Sarah
