And for all those reasons, and so many more, I love the fact that Mike managed to somehow surprise her with their engagement on their ROCKSTAR trip to Europe (seriously please click and read the story of their engagement!).
Mike adores Becky and everything about her. They are the perfect match in so many ways that it makes my heart hurt a little with sheer happiness for the life that they are going to build together. They balance each other, and that's what we all really need in our spouse, right? Someone to come alongside us... love us for exactly who we are, yet challenge us to also be the very best version of our self. Yup, I'd say that is what I have appreciated most so far in my vast 2 years of marriage :)
So here's to you Becky and Mike. I'm SO excited for you both. And as promised, I'm only sharing a tiny sliver of the photos to preserve the surprise of your Save the Date cards... but this is enough to show off your hotness together!
Ross and I often ponder is whether little Towne will remember much of her time with "Aunt Amy and Uncle Ross", and although I like to think that she will remember on her own... I feel like the photos I have taken will hopefully serve as a lifelong reminder. I look forward to photographing her for many many years to come!
Amy I gotta tell ya; I love every single one of these images!
(11.10.09 @ 10:05 PM)oh my goodness gracious - towne is such a cutie!!! love these pics of barrett & christi too!!!!
(11.11.09 @ 09:18 AM)I'm just jaelous of so many things. where did towne get all that blonde hair! who knew that was coming! but i'm jealous of her super cute outfit (i want it?!?!) and Christi's super cute post baby body, is it a joke? some kind of photoshop? or did this girl get all the luck? AND i want to be your family. but other than all that. i just loved these.
(11.11.09 @ 10:02 AM)AMY! The colors and the style are SO awesome...I love love love these shots, you outdid yourself on this one! :)
(11.11.09 @ 03:07 PM)These are precious of all my babies. MIss Towne is a show by herself. Amy, your work is top drawer. Actually, it helps to have Barrett, Christi, and Towne as models. Your professionalism certainly is exceptional. Don't ever stop taking photos of your family....and mine.
(11.11.09 @ 06:13 PM)Wow, wow, WOW! Amy, these are spectacular! I adore this family, too. Miss Towne is so precious. My mouth is wide open looking at these! XO
(11.12.09 @ 07:34 AM)That has got to be the best dressed child that I have ever seen! What a cutie! And the parents are adorable too! Amazing job, as always, Amy.

This quote makes me think of Max. He just welcomed a little baby sister, Genevieve, and I think that he has got the makings for a pretty awesome big brother/superhero. I wanted to share a few shots from our time together, although most of them are staying under wraps to be sure that I don't spoil the Christmas card!
And as for me, I just got back from my whirlwind trip to Charlotte yesterday, and I talked in my sleep a lot (apparently) last night which is something that I do upon utter exhaustion :) I'm so happy to be home and will be working to catch up and continue to share the photo goodness from my trip!
Well, yesterday I think its safe to say that we took it to a new level because Sharon Clark and I double teamed this bridal shoot!! I was exhausted afterward from jumping up and down with sheer delight throughout the whole session. Shooting alongside Sharon for this was especially fun since she and Lauren have known each other since waaaaay back in the day and I'm pretty much convinced that Lauren might be the luckiest girl in the world to have 2 friends to help her photograph/celebrate her bridal beauty. We ooohhh-ed and ahhhh-ed, squealed and laughed together. Now it's your turn.
Lauren, I love getting to celebrate this stage of life with you!
STUNNING! You did such a great job Nooners. You captured Lauren's beauty and excitement. You are one talented lady. Love you pooks.
(11.07.09 @ 08:09 AM)NOONERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's so crazy to see different angles and colors and the way you saw it through your lens - they are fantastic! you are tied for the bestest photographer friend everrrrrrr :)
(11.07.09 @ 08:57 AM)p.s. i should add - you're a fantastic photo stylist and flower arranger!!!!!!! the bouquet looked amazing and the fur blanket very fun :)
(11.07.09 @ 09:05 AM)great photos of a beautiful lady! the joy exudes from her in the photos.........great job capturing it.
(11.07.09 @ 11:03 AM)hands down, one of the most gorgeous brides. ever. amazing location. and yes, she is one LUCKY girl to have you and Sharon. can't wait to see her wedding ....
(11.08.09 @ 07:11 AM)WOWZERS to both the beauty and the awe of this session. You go girls!!
(01.17.10 @ 01:09 PM)Luis Costales is Jenn's brother, so not only do they also know the Toohey family, but he also owns an interactive agency here in Charlotte and knows all about BooneOakley. It just makes me smile about how small this big world is sometimes.
Luis, Courtney and little Luis also make me smile. We took an awesome lap around SouthEnd this morning and for a toddler that isn't even 2 yet, little Lu sure does have a big personality. Oh goodness, the shot with the hat just gets me... oh yeah, and the eye lashes too. Why is it that the boys always get the luxurious lashes? Anyways, I know that it was a successful session since little Lu was so tired by the end of it, all he wanted to do was snuggle. Good times were had by all.
I love them! Adorable, i can't wait to get my hands on that sweet boy. You did an amazing job as always.

(11.12.09 @ 10:41 AM)Fabulous!!!!
(11.12.09 @ 01:09 PM)These pictures are beautiful! It's so wonderful to see people in love w/one another. Did'n't God gift my son w/the most gorgeous pair of blue eyes????? And, it goes w/out saying that Becky is beautiful inside and out!
(11.12.09 @ 03:19 PM)Love these Amy! Yay Becky & Mike!
