An Advent of Books: Update

Hi friends!

Tomorrow marks the halfway point in our little man’s sweet Advent of Books from our friends, which we talked about HERE. Since we’re already at the halfway mark, we wanted to touch base and update you with a few photos if you’ve missed our daily posts. (Full disclosure: some of our posts are better than others. You know, the days when we don’t open the gift until we’re all together but by that time it’s dark. Or one of us is gone so trying to be in the moment with babe while also taking photos is a tricky dance.)

But you’ll get the idea: we’ve received some beautiful books that he already loves! We just didn’t want anyone to think less photos = less love. Less photos = too much going on over here.

Let’s just get to the photos so you can catch up on what lovely books we’ve been delving into this week over here.

It’s been humbling and amazing to see the gathering of people who made this possible and we’ve loved seeing which books each person has gifted! Once upon a time I was “up” on children’s books, but we’ve been gifted some beautiful books I’d never heard of before! That’s an extra cherry on top of this entire experience for me.

And we’re only halfway there! We’ve been doing daily posts on Instagram in our main feed or the stories: @jonolaynie or @blakeandbeckner

Hope you’re all enjoying life as we march through the holidays!

Backyard Farm Wedding//Meagan and Mat

One of the things we love most about our job is the diversity. We’ll be somewhere fancy smancy one day (Layne’s had to borrow clothes in the past for jobs since we aren’t THAT fancy) and then be shooting at somewhere lowkey and casual the next day.

And among weddings it’s the same - each couple puts their own unique twist and priority to the day and we love showing up and seeing how it’s all come together.

Meagan and Mat’s gorgeous wedding is the perfect example. You’d never know how rainy it was for their lovely (and amazingly detailed!) wedding at Meagan’s dad’s farm. Despite the precipitation, the day came together wonderfully and we can’t wait to show you the photos!

THANKS for the honour of documenting your big day, Meagan and Mat! Congrats on this new and exciting step in your journey.
