Green Acres Event Center:: Kelly & Brian wedding

After a long day working as an accountat at Virtual Radiologic, some of Kelly’s co-worker’s invited her to happy hour.  Needing the break, she agreed to go.  Brian, working at the same company as a software engineer was also invited to that same happy hour where he met a very sweet and independent accountant.  Through the course of a few more happy hours the two exchanged numbers and eventually Brian asked Kelly to dinner.  Being busy with grad school, and hoping to use it as a deterrent, Kelly kindly declined. Knowing he had found a catch, Brian was determined to take Kelly out and continued pressing Kelly to go out with him.  She finally “gave in” and went to dinner with him to the Wildfire on a snowy night.

The two hit it off immediately finding so they had many similarities including their love for animals, the Humane Society, their sense of humor, and work stories.

After two years of dating, three cats and a dog later, Brian lined the entry way of his home with dozens of roses and chocolates.  He waited for Kelly to come home from work and when she arrive at the scene, Brian got down on one knee and asked her to marry him.

Their wedding day was filled with joy and love with close friends and family.  It was an honor to celebrate with them!!

      Taking on 2015!!

      Blogging to say the least has been on the back burner for me this past year and especially this last season of life… and rightly so with all the events that have turned our way this starting in November.  A brief rundown for those who do not follow me on Facebook or Instagram…

      November 18th our neighbor’s town home started on fire forcing us to move.  First it was a to a hotel for 3 weeks, than temporary housing for 2 months and then Lord willing, Feb 2, we will move into a new home and stop moving… hopefully.

      Add in Thanksgiving, my son’s 6th birthday, finishing up my fall and winter sessions, my grandfather passing away, another good family friend passing away at a young age that same week, Christmas, and New Year’s, I would say that I am giving myself lots of grace to have NOT blogged.

      Thankfully my husband has logged pretty much our whole adventure on his blog here.  Read more about the details and our crazy season at your leisure.  We are now slowly working on transitioning into 2015!

      To say the least, we were really blessed through 2014, and even though it didn’t end the way we thought it would, God definitely had great plans for the Feder five!  Throughout the fire process we have learned how to go with the flow, be more bold in our faith, give lots of grace while standing up for what we need (because really, we do need a mattress to sleep on that doesn’t reek of smoke!), and look at life in a whole new way and purpose!

      We are staring at a blank slate for the year and even though we can plan for things, there are events that will happen that are totally out of our control.  So in the world of resolutions and planning, the one goal I have is to live life purposfully.  Weather that be in being a wife, mom, business owner, or photographer.  I long for meaningful conversations, people to love on and give grace to.  I want to live as Jim Elliot quotes “Wherever you are, be ALL there”.

      For this girl, it means putting the phone down when my kids get home from school.  It means making time for good friends either in person or on the phone.  It means pursuing on giving back with photography.  It means going on dates with my husband and not talking about kids or work! It means blogging or posting iPhone photos because it really is ok, really.  It means continuing  to be real and honest with others and letting them into my life. It means focusing on the task at hand when I sit down at the computer and not going all over the place only to forget why I sat down in the first place!  It means having people over for dinner, coffee, or dessert.  It means pursuing Jesus at a deeper level, and it meanks enjoying the life that God has me in RIGHT NOW!

      2015, I can’t wait to see what you will hold and I look forward to pursuing you with purpose and meaning!

      • There’s no doubt that life can come throwing stones at you, but never forget that when things go wrong it always come back to being right. Enjoy life and give it purpose. Be it through photography or other things, always think positive and BE positive.

      Out at the lake

      Just two months ago with green grasses, sparkling waters, 70 degree days, and clear skies, I met up with this sweet family to run around Lake Harriet and photograph in the fun!  Their sweet little girl loves the moon so we photographed it just for her!
