Katelyn + Tyler

Most everyone knows we are a little crazy...:)

This was solidified further when we decided to book a wedding shoot the weekend before our baby girl was due to arrive!

Of course, my babies have to be taken by force in the end, so thankfully it all worked out beautifully.

What a joy it was to meet this fantastic, fun-loving couple and be a part of their special day.

Here are a few of our favorites...

LOVE this ring shot...

Isn't that the coolest Groom's cake ever!?! 

Sweet parent pic....awwww. 

Just look at her...isn't she glowing? :) 

Thank you, Katelyn & Tyler. What a beautiful and special day!

May you have many, many years of wedded bliss... 

Meet Ileigh Grace...

We welcomed our little girl into our home 3 short weeks ago today.

Thank you for all of the thoughts, prayers and support!

We just wanted to share a few pictures from Miss Ileigh's first photo shoot; I am sure there will be many more to come! She was one week old when these were taken.

This is her announcement...they were sent in the mail today, so we can officially share them.

This is just a fun collage that will hang next to her door... 

Just a few more random cuteness... 

We are totally in love with this little angel and loving the time and attention we can devote to both her and Eli.

On that note, I will be sending out an e-mail to those of you on our spring shoot list within the next two weeks! I can't believe that it is almost time for us to start shooting again! Be on the lookout!

If you would like to schedule a session for this spring, please e-mail us at mrandmrspirtle@hotmail.com. Your name will be added to our current list and we will be setting up those shoots first before opening our calendar for everyone else.

Meet Stef & Scotty...

Really, the coolest thing about us is our family...

Meet my cousin, Stef and her husband, Scotty.

I have so much respect for Stef, for many different reasons and she is crazy, crazy talented. I wish I could just have as much talent as she has in her left pinky. 

Seriously.

They live up in Indianapolis where Scotty is a very well known morning DJ. It was awesome that they could both come down for Christmas. 

We were super excited when Stef asked if we could take a few pictures of them and their two "kiddos".

Of course, we had a blast and they had so many great pictures. Here are a few of our favorites...

Here they are with the kids, Charlie & Sadie.

Ha! Doesn't Charlie look like some kind of centerfold?! 

Ha! Love it! 

Meet Stef's sister, Kaci, who is also very talented...see my family is just so cool! We had to get a few shots of the two of them together too...

Thanks guys for allowing us to take your pictures! We had a blast- see ya soon!

Meet the Britten Family...

Meet my twin brother, Brad! We took family pictures for him, his wife, Alison and our niece, Emma over Christmas.

Here are a few of my favorites from our very frigid mid-morning....

Awww...Emma is a cutie, huh? She is just a few weeks younger than our little Eli... 

Thanks, Brad and Co. for braving the cold for a quick family shoot! Hope that you treasure these photos for many years!

Meet the Kramer Family!

We were delighted to meet up with the beautiful Kramer family last weekend for a fun shoot!

Sherry wanted to get a few pictures taken while her two daughters were in town for Christmas; they were just delightful!

Here are a few of our favorites from the afternoon...

Rachel and her hubby brought along the families newest addition- little Avery. Isn't she just the cutest thing?! 

What a beautiful little family... 

Oh, and Miss Sandi...you a just flat out gorgeous. 

What a fun time! Thank you, Kramer family for allowing us to capture this special time for you! Many blessings and a happy New Year!

The Final Pirtle Clan...

We wanted to make sure that we had a photo shoot with each of our siblings and their families before Christmas. We love that we are able to use our talent to give back to them- they do so much for us.

Tim and is clan wrapped up Chris' side of the family for us. Here are a few of our favorites from their shoot earlier this month...

Don't we have the most beautiful/handsome nieces and nephews ever? :) We love you all so very much and are so proud to be your aunt and uncle!

This final post should round up my huge blog update for the month of December. Keep reading to see the other three. We had one photo shoot (and two family photo shoots) last weekend and will have one this weekend.

Then a wedding.

Then a baby...hopefully in that order.
