We had such a great time with these two. Tamra and I can’t wait until there’s three of Magnani’s haha. She’s an artist and he plays rec. hockey, so I think they are going to be some pretty cool parents. The Magnani’s looked and posed perfectly, making this an awesome maternity session.

This year we wanted Christmas Tree ornaments that looked more homemade, vintage, and outdoorsy. So we ran to Target and picked up some nice ornaments that fit the bill and then headed home to figure out what we could make ourselves.
Tamra and I made some arrows inspired by Land of Nod. Tamra started out by wrapping twigs with different colors of yarn that we had. Then I set out making the arrow heads and feathers. I used metal flashing that goes on the bottom of homes for the arrow heads and feathers. You can find flashing at any hardware store. Also you need some good tin snips or metal shears, I use Wiss metal shears with the red handle. They work awesomely. I started by cutting the head out about a 3/4″ from the end of the flashing. After I got two sides of the triangle cut I moved over 3/4″ and cut a straight line. Then I cut along the bottom and this gave me two feathers and one head. Then I made little cuts all the way up the metal to make it look more like feathers. I then cut out two little tabs at the bottom and then bent them so that I could hot glue them on later. After this I spray painted the feathers and the arrow head all different colors. Next thing to do after the paint dries is to cut a notch in the front of the arrow shaft with a Dremal tool cut off wheel. Last thing is to hot glue the feathers on with the tabs that were bent out and to add a little bit of hot glue to the arrow head where it goes into the notch that was cut on the arrow shaft.
For the acorn garland, Tamra, our daughter Naomi and niece Carrie painted each acorn a different color with acrylic paint from the craft section. After that they hot glued the acorn caps back on and then hot glued acorns to some jute twine. That is it.

We had such a fun time with the Votos during their photo session. The kids played and had fun and their baby girl was so precious. They all looked great and were dressed perfectly for a session this time of year. Such an awesome family.
I can’t believe that we are already starting Christmas photo sessions again. Time flies by way to fast. If you are looking to book a Christmas or Fall photo session, you better book now as spots are filling up quickly. Here are some of the photos from the Voto’s family photo session. Hope everyone enjoys and have a great week!

Katie and Sawyer’s Oklahoma barn wedding was amazing. The both of them looked incredible. Every little detail from her flower crown to his woodland camouflage bow tie to the mason jar drinking glasses to the perfect lighting in the barn, everything was perfect. I over heard people saying it was like a fairy tale wedding, Pinterest wedding, and straight out of a wedding magazine. It truly was pure awesomeness. We are so glad our good friend and fellow photographer Billie Jean Fisher (link to her work) asked us to help her photograph this beautiful Oklahoma wedding.
All of this would not have been what it was with out the help of Katie and Sawyers family and friends. They all worked so hard getting everything ready for their beautiful day. The barn which was her parent’s, was decorated perfectly. There was not one detail left undone.
This is just supposed to be a sneak peak so I’ll quit going on about how awesome it was and get to the pictures. There is more to tell about this amazing Oklahoma wedding so check back soon. We hope you enjoy.
