Jacob | Senior (Full Post)

As I start to wrap up my sophomore year of college, I finally realized that I have not posted for a long time. Well, here I go then, posting away!

You might have met Jacob in my previous posts... usually about soccer or track. He is indeed my brother and just committed into going to IU Bloomington for school!
I am so proud of him and all that he has accomplished in high school!

He will be graduating Suma Cum Laude, first or second in his class,
with scholarships and almost a full ride to IU. 

He has played soccer all four years of high school and ran track for three of them. 

He is a member of the academic team, who has made it to state numerous times.

I am so incredibly proud of him and I can't wait to see how his future unfolds!

That one on the right was his request!

 

Can't wait to see him graduate!

Introducing Mr.& Mrs. Roy

This weekend my best friend, my partner in crime since '95, MY COUSIN got married to the man that makes her the happiest she's ever been. The bridesmaids got there at 11 am while the guys just lounged around until 1 pm when they were supposed to get ready. It was so wonderful being a part of her bridal party. I've become really close with her over the past few months and I'm so happy I could be there for her on her special day.

Here are some of the few pictures I was able to take. I had to get ready myself and she also had a photographer there and I didn't want to take up all the goodies!

Here's the link to the photographer at the wedding: http://mykindofyellow.blogspot.com/2013/10/pretty-brides-puppy-teeth.html .
She hasn't put up the photos from the wedding yet, but I will be sure to post the link when she does!

Okay, so my cousin made all of the center pieces and the cups for the bridal party. She worked so hard on them and all of her hard work paid off. Everybody loved them! We set up the reception room the night before and with almost all of the bridesmaids helping, we got done in just a few hours!

This is the day of the wedding, bright and early at 11 am. Aleshia, the maid of honor did Hailey's hair and was done in enough time to get ready herself.

Hailey did her own makeup because it was way cheaper!

That's Hailey's mom, Lisa. She couldn't have been more proud of her daughter.

Hailey couldn't put on her shoes so her mom had to help her. And see that girl in the back with the pretty hair, that's Celeste. She's one of the bridesmaids. She helped fixed Hailey's dress to make it fit how Hailey wanted it.

This is after she was done getting ready.
She couldn't stop smiling and looking at herself in the mirror.
Now her smile-- pure happiness.

Getting a few pictures before she's officially Mrs. Roy!

My absolute favorite of her. She was stunning.

Aleshia made all of the bouquets.

She even made the burlap roses! How awesome is that?!

One of Hailey's close friends face timed Hailey right before her dad came in for the first look. She was very emotional because this friend is down in Texas right now for Airforce Tech school. It was a very emotional time for everyone that hasn't seen her in a while.

That's her dad, Dean. Hailey was already in tears from face timing her friend and just seeing her dad made her even more emotional.

The bridal party!

Union County Homecoming 2013

This past weekend was one of my brother's homecoming. Since Josh didn't get to go to his own because he simply didn't want to, Jacob suggested that he go with a friend of their's, Renee. Renee agreed so he tagged along with their group.

(Sorry for the quality of the photos! The lighting in the house wasn't that great and turning on the flash just gives the photo a fluorescent color and red eyes and I couldn't do that to this fantastic looking group!)

Guys...

Roy/Peters Engagement

This engagement session I did for my cousin was so much fun! Zach and Hailey both were so much fun to work with and there was never a dull moment between them. I brought my friend Leah with me who just happens to be my cousin's best friend! She helped pick out which outfits to go on which location and had some cute ideas.

We just had to show off the ring.

If you know them, you would say this picture describes their relationship so very well.  Hailey has told me multiple times that this is her favorite out of all the photos I have taken.

Check out her smile!

So sweet!

Now this one was all Zach's idea. This is at the alter at their church, can you believe it?  This picture is a favorite of all of our's!
