Meeting Family

Last weekend, Mike's oldest brother Paul, his wife Sarah, and their 3 kids, Lennon, Laina and Garrett drove out to Lynchburg and met their newest cousin.  So awesome to be able to share these pictures of the first time the older kids held their niece! 

Lennon was so cute when looking at her hands and feet. He kept commenting on how little they were.

Laina was adorable with her.  She would ask to hold her all the time, but then get bored after a few minutes.  :)

After Paul and Sarah left, I caught Emmie asleep in her pack n play like this:

Which is how she stayed for the remainder of her nap.  Crazy girl!

Sadly, that is all the pictures I took of their visit to Lynchburg.  I guess that's what sleep deprivation gets you! ;)

more from jimmy & ashley

phew, finally catching up! enough to finally be posting about this amazing day... pictures from Ashley and Jimmy's wedding.  Back in May {I know- I am that behind in blogging!} they had a beautiful wedding, and gave me the precious honor and taking pictures for their big day.  My first wedding! I was so honored to be a part of their big day- and so nervous for it! The wedding was absolutely beautiful and I so enjoyed spending the day taking pictures!

Enough talk... here are the pictures...

So thankful for this opportunity and can't wait for some of the upcoming weddings! :)

i know, i promised

i know, i promised i would be better at blogging.. but haven't been so far.  I am finally feeling better- my appetite is returning and so is my energy! It's amazing to feel human again! ;)

We've been pretty busy, and I wanted to get these few pictures up from a wedding I shot Memorial Day weekend... so fun!

I'll be busy editing for the next few weeks- but I can't wait to share some more of this adorable couple! :D I've got a few other activities to catch up on, but sadly, I haven't been too great at taking my own pictures! I promise to do better!

Our Easter!

I've been a bad blogger! I really don't know why I haven't updated this thing in forever! Just laziness I guess! I'm loving this beautiful Spring weather and the fellowship that always seems to come with it!

We had an awesome Easter- we went to church, then to a friends house for Tacos and fun! While there, I got some pictures of a great friend of mine's daughter, Zoey.  She's such a cutie!

We were also able to play some fun Easter games! Relays with eggs, egg tosses, and egg hunts.  Then we just sat under the shady trees and caught up.  So much fun!

I promise to be better- I have a few updates we've made to the house, and plans we have to remodel some of the other rooms! I'll update soon!!

What a fantastic weekend! The weather here in Virginia was gorgeous! I finished up my Marketing Research class {ugh, such an awful class} Friday night.  So glad it's over- and I got a B! Saturday we finally got around to cleaning up the house, washing the mountains of laundry I have been putting off, etc.

Michael's little brother, Cj and his girlfriend, Taylor, stopped by on their way back to Virginia Tech from Spring Break.  The boys grilled out {steaks, sweet potato fries, and fresh zucchini! so good!} played some games, and then watched Cj snowboard down LU's snowflex.  Quite an eventful night.

We went to brunch the next morning, it was so nice to sit outside, sip on some coffee, and eat some amazing food! CJ and Taylor left a little early to go pick up their new little puppy, Peyton.  I've only seen a few pictures of her, but she's adorable! I can't wait to do a photo shoot for them coming up soon!


Sunday afternoon, I met up with Dj and Danielle for their engagement pictures.  It seriously was a beautiful day- and the cherry trees were in bloom! Loved these pictures!

Go check out the photo website {www.ashleyeibanphotography.wordpress.com} to see the rest!


Today, I'm totally lagging from Daylight Savings! So ready now to go home and take a nice long nap! How was your weekend? Are the cherry trees blooming in your area?

Another new photography post is up on the photo blog! This time it's my brother-in-law, Cj, and his girlfriend, Taylor! Go check them out! 

Okay, one sneak peak... but for real- go check them out!

Definitely go and check in out and let me know what you think! I'm still very much in the beginnings of this and would love advice, opinions, and {helpful} criticism. 

I just put up pictures from a Fall Forum I attended of Jake and Patsy.  Here's a little sneak peak:
