5x12 project | october

since i'm in the mood for sharing...  ;)  (...and before the calendar turns to december!  ACK!!  i'm so behind!)

here's our 5x12 for october!  after the howe big family portrait (for grammy's much-anticipated calendar) at thanksgiving and between the kids playing and hiding in the leaves, my BIL snapped a pic of the 'Joe Howes'!  ;)  thanks aaron!

going through the photos of family - from both the Howes' side and the Carter's side - makes me so excited for Christmas.  when we're together again.

xo.  love you all.

jessica & dustin | moncton wedding photography

can't believe i'm just getting to sharing jessica & dustin's wedding with all of you.  goes to show the INSANE fall season i'm coming out of.  yes, it was busy.  CRAZY busy.  but i'm seeing the light.  BEAUTIFUL light at the end of this editing tunnel.  :D  (by the way...they've had their images for a while...  i just haven't had the chance to show them off!).  :D

jessica & dustin.  your day was so incredible.  the glimpse i got of your families' love for you is unmatched.  how blessed am i to be a part of such a celebration?!  :D  jessica (and your crew, no doubt!), you put such great care and detail into everything (the reception hall......  GAH.  I DIE.)  thank you, THANK YOU for having me.  and special, heartfelt thanks to my assistant/secondshooter for the day, kayla-bob ;), for being her awesomely helpful self.  :D

here are my faves from J&Ds day!  :D  again...  congrats, you two!  blessings on your marriage!!
