ONE WEEK WITH PARKER

While we don't have any kids yet, we sure feel like our little baby is growing up way too fast!! The last week flew by and Parker has already doubled in size right before our eyes! He is now climbing up/down stairs, hurdling over & weaving through every obstacle in the room, and learning to "sit" & "come". Parker has also gained quite a few nicknames, such as "Parker the pint-sized pup", "P-funk", and "Little man"... Any guesses who gave him which names?? ;) And about the ribbons... this was sadly their last time to shine! Moments after this photo was taken, we realized that they were no longer suitable for a session because while we thought Parker was sitting there and being adorable, he was actually making a puddle on our pretty ribbons. Oh, the life of a puppy!

INTRODUCING | PARKER MCCARTNEY!

We just got back from a whirlwind road trip to Kansas to pick up Parker! He's a 7 week old Cavapoo puppy, and we are absolutely BEAMING with excitement that he has joined our little family :) There is a good chance he will be a regular subject on our blog, so a proper introduction is a must!

Here are a few Instagrams from our road trip home with Parker!

CAUGHT UP IN AN IMAGE

It's funny how the schedule of a wedding photographer plays out. Of course some months are busier than others. You can go from 110 mph to about 30 mph in a matter of two months. You fall in love with the personalities & stories of so many incredible individuals & couples... And then a few months later (or in this case 6 months later - gosh time flies!) you come across a particular image that, looking back, speaks volumes to the two of them and the way they love each other. Happy weekend, friends! We hope you stay warm :)

Love // K&B

MEET THE MCCARTNEYS!

Today we are absolutely beaming and beyond thrilled to announce a rebranding for The McCartneys Photography! This is a little something that has been MONTHS in the making, and not being able to share has been so hard! But the process has been exciting, uplifting and very motivating! Website. Brand. Collateral. Blog. It's all new!! And it's all us! Backing things up a little bit... After Butch proposed (Christmas 2007!) we started thinking about what we wanted our wedding to look like, and we knew that we wanted to have an elegant yet cozy feel in all of the collateral. We asked a huge favor of Butch's sister Stevi and she designed all of our wedding collateral (save the dates, invitations, you name it)! We loved her design SO much that we carried elements of that over into our previous branding, and it left us with a look that we felt very connected to... A brand that fit us well for the first few years once we took our business full-time... A brand that grew and evolved with us and had such special meaning to us and to our marriage :)

Fast forward to today... We were ready for a change. As we have grown in our business, we found ourselves ready for a look that was a bit more polished and powerful, while still maintaning the organic & approachable feel of our previous brand. Who else to turn to than the one person who knows us inside & out and is incredibly gifted in all elements of graphic design -- our sister Stevi! While walking us through the entire process she created a look for us that is clean, complete, and 100% us. From our logo down to envelopes and our product packaging, we feel whole and are just giddy over the final product. We could not be more excited to present to you the new look of The McCartneys Photography!! Thank you so much for taking a peek :D
