Amber Lieser Photography- S. Family

I had the privilege of taking family pictures for a friend of mine. I am still scheduling for fall pictures if anyone is interested.

Here are a few of my favorites from that session.

Lieser work day

Every year once fall begins we get together at Jared's parents house and we have a work day. This year the boys helped cut down trees and make firewood and the girls did yard work. I helped watch the kids and Aunt Flavia brought paint to paint pumpkins. The girls love their cousins and it makes work days fun watching them play together.

Favorite Dress

Quinn's dress from Easter this year quickly became her favorite dress. I think it has to do with the fact that it has flowers, has tulle, and twirls like none other. She calls it her church dress because at first I only let her wear it to church. She asked to wear it every day so finally I gave in and you know what...she wore that dress out this summer. She would wear it at least twice a week and one week she wore it five out of seven days!! So many pictures are taken of her in that dress. I was very happy to pack away summer clothes and bring out winter just so she wouldn't wear it anymore. So this was the last day she was able to wear it and I felt like we needed to document it since it was so important to her. She is precious in it.

 

 

 

 

P.S. She has now found a winter skirt that she asks to wear every day. Stinker!



Pumpkin Painting

As soon as we got home from our pumpkin patch play date (say that fast 3 times) the girls were ready to paint them. They were very disappointed to find out that they would have to wait until the next day. :( When they woke up the next morning it was the first thing on their minds so after breakfast we painted. It was a beautiful day so we spent the morning outside. After the pumpkins were dry Claire put hers on the front porch and Quinn put hers in her room where she could see it everyday. Makes sense to me.

 

I love that she is concentrating so much her tongue is sticking out.

She went with the stripes look.



Pumpkin Patch

Our MOPS table group got together for a play date at the pumpkin patch. The girls always love going. They were very concerned about picking the right pumpkin to paint. They also had fun feeding the animals as well and having a picnic lunch. We managed to visit 2 pumpkin patches this year but this one is our favorite.

Love of my Life

On June 4th, 2004 my best friend took me on a road trip for the evening to run an errand for his dad. This was not an unusual thing for him to do for his dad so I willingly rode along. As we were talking he brings to my attention the name of the town we were about to head into in. The city limit sign said Welcome to Amber and then below it was a handmade sign that said Will You Marry Me. As he was pulling over to the side of the rode I was trying to wrap my head around what was happening. Jared gets out of the truck and opens my door to let me out. Once I am out of the truck he gets down on one knee and right there in the ditch in Amber, Oklahoma he proposes.

On October 16th, 2004 I said I do to my very best friend and the love of my life. It has been 8 years (tomorrow) and I love him more now then I did on that day. I would have never thought that could happen because as I walked down that isle I thought my heart would explode with joy and love for him.

He is the man God has intended for me and I have no doubts about that. It has been quite the journey  and I look forward to continuing it with him for as long as we live.

By the way, that is my daddy behind us. He officiated the wedding! So special!
