Family love. Westlake Village, California.

I meant to post about my own wedding on our first anniversary this past September but everything was crazy busy and it just never happened. I will tell you this though... it rained incredibly hard on our wedding day. Like, pouring rain. I have always dreamed of having my wedding outside on my parents property and so we did not move inside the church. We stayed outdoors under the reception tent for the entire wedding and it was amazing. But because of the rain, we only had a few "romantics" of us together on the wedding day. I have been dying to have more photos taken in my dress, with my husband, somewhere beautiful and sunny. So, when I contacted Josh & Michelle of mi belle photography (I interned with them during school) and they agreed to do a shoot with us, we packed up and headed to sunny California.

I'll be posting the photos from our Day After shoot with mibelle later but right now I'm going to show you some of the cutest kids ever. My cousins Karlee and Kerri both have beautiful children and I couldn't resist shooting a few portraits while we were there.

This is James. Doesn't that just make you say "aww" out loud?
