the leopard print hat

my sister is a freakin’ beaut. she has style and grace that far surpasses audrey hepburn, yet a wild side that nobody can (or should) be able to figure out. her twenty-first birthday is coming up and this one will likely be found in a classy red dress with a good solid beer in hand. like i said…she has such a unpredictable spirit. : )

three cheers to my forever sister….and friend! she is will shake the world with her compassionate heart full of love and her heavenly music.

nothing can stop her. no, nothing will stop her.

happy new year!! :)

my family is wild, crazy, hilarious, and overall wonderful. this winter break i have been so blessed to be able to spend lottttssss of time at home with my fam bam. i am so thankful! these moments are really precious. i figured that because my family was so unusual and out of the box, our photos should be too. haha

thanks God for my muchooooo incredible family, patience, and tripods. haha : )

merry christmas and happy new year from my family to yours!

one very cold and rainy day in december, two lovers decided to let the world know of the love they shared. here is a little peek into that day….

ashley + eric

caryn — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 01:02:25 +0000

meet ashley and eric. they have a cute little story. 1.5 years ago they met at ashley’s older sister’s wedding. ashley was the maid of honor and eric was one of the groomsmen. little did they know that a little less than 2 years later and they would be walking down the isle at their own wedding!

a little random fact about them is that they both love zombies. hahaha! so great!

here is a sneak peek from their shoot last weekend. isn’t the lighting gagagagaorgeous?!

the furley family

last winter i did a shoot with this awesome family who have 4 crazy boys. when they asked me to do their family photos again this year i gladly accepted the opportunity. the furley’s are an adorable family and i always find myself cracking up during our shoots. anyways, here is their sneak peek:

tay + joel

caryn — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 18:33:02 +0000

love is beautiful. i am consistently reminded of this truth whenever i take engagement photos. for over an hour i watch two human beings completely infatuated with every inch of their lover. it is beautiful. sometimes it is so stunning i forget that i am suppose to be taking pictures…not standing awkwardly with my mouth wide open and my hand on my heart. is this for real? is this truly my ‘job?’ capturing love? gagagaga i am so blessed.

tay and joel are an exceptionally special couple. together they are one big ball of bubbly joy. they have enough faith to move mountains. they trust papa so much….and he keeps doing crazy things in their lives. haha it is so much fun to watch. they met eight months ago when tay flew up to washington state for the weekend. apparently it was kaaaaPOW love at first sight. haha yes! isn’t that great? i was so excited to hear that it still exists! : ) i still remember doing taylor’s college graduation photos back in march and she talked almost the entire time about her blooming long-distant relationship with joel. ha! so fun! i am incredibly happy for this amazing couple. they are going to change the world with their contagious-out-of-the-ordinary-joy.

love you both!
