April, 2013 \\ Washington, DC \\ The more I look at this frame the more I love the variety of experiences it expresses. Some people come to walk around, to congregate, some for exercise, for a place to read, some to pay their respects, some to stand at attention one last time, to remember.
April, 2013 \\ Washington, DC \\ A few weeks ago we went out to DC to do some engagement sessions of some amazing couples! We explored the city, experienced art, and ate (so much) amazing food! We’ll be blogging it this week. Just wanted to let you know it was coming ;)
March 23, 2013 \\ Toledo, Ohio
I love my nephews. I have had the privilege of being present for all of their births and I could not be a more proud auntie and sister. (check my twitter & instagram if you don’t believe me).
Nearly one month ago, we all celebrated the birth of my 3rd nephew, Titus Scott Krueger. As I held him for the first time, I was overwhelmed with tears of joy and love for such a special little boy.
“To Titus, my true child in common faith:Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.” Titus 1:4
My sister Ashley is an amazing mother, so kind, loving and nurturing.
At the ripe old age of 2, Big brother Ezekiel was SO excited to meet Baby Ti! He loves to help mom and dad take extra special care of his new little brother!
Grandma Meyer, enjoying every minute with her grandsons. Also learning how to use her iPad from these little tech savvy boys.
All 3 of my beautiful nephews!! One more niece or nephew to come this July!
As our family has now grown to 14, we filled the little hospital room with LOTS of love and laughter.
Wow! These are AMAZING! Thanks so much for sharing Benj & Jenn! We are so blessed! :)
Wow! These are awesome images from such a special time in our family! Thanks so much Jenn for posting these, and Benj and Jenn for capturing all of the emotion and experience of this special occasion with your beautiful images!
Such a sweet little baby born into what is obviously a family full of warmth and love. After a rough week in the world thank you for sharing images that remind us of God’s goodness–prayers that he may continue to bless your family!
welcome to your family lit’l one
Oh my goodness, the Hoffman family is precious! Your pics are incredible!!
April 2013 \\ Austin, Texas \\ Adam and Christine’s beautiful wedding, captured by the Hasselblad 500C
I am straight-up swooning over these. Particularly that first portrait of Adam and the close-up of just Christine. And the two following the one of just Christine. And the last one. And … all the rest. Good job.
I love them so much Benjamin! They are AMAZING! The ones of my cousin Tim and Joel look like they came out of GQ :D lol
April 2013 \\ Austin, Texas \\ Last weekend I had the pleasure of being IN (just a small roll…. BEST MAN!) my friend Adam’s wedding as he married his love, Christine! It was fun to set down my cameras and be involved in other ways but there were times when I just couldn’t help myself… let’s face it, I am a photographer. So here are a few iPhone shots from the wedding, I have a handful of Hasselblad ones being processed as we speak… be sure those will hit the blog as soon as possible too :)
As I was responsible for a toast at Adam and Christine’s reception I took a lot of time to think about these two. I prepared about 3-4 pages of notes and used maybe a sixth of the words I had come up with, major props to all of you best men and maid’s of honor out there… you make it look easy from where I usually sit behind a camera. The one thing that I said that I am proud to echo here on my blog is that I am proud to be their friend and I am blessed and encouraged by their deep, committed, loyal, and beautiful love. I love you guys. Congratulations yet again!

SO much great food… I’m still full…. and I still want more!
They danced to Édith Piaf. It was beautiful. Jennifer cried.
We organized the PHOTOBOOTH for this wedding too! That post is on it’s way!!

March 2013 – Hocking Hills, Ohio \\ My friend Adam is getting married in less than a month and I am so happy and excited for him! To celebrate, we left civilization and did manly things. It was a wonderful weekend. Congratulations Adam! VERY much looking forward to your amazing wedding next month!

LOVE that first icicle shot (29 down I think…if counted correctly!) I’ll take a print of it!
Love these pictures – makes me want to go hiking again, it’s been too long. :) Like the one with all the cliffs and trees with one wee little guy in a blue shirt in the bottom corner – really gives some perspective.
The cliff in No. 41 is always fun to jump off of, though it’s a bit cold in march.
Nice color tone
Hasselblad 500C \\ I got some film back today, more of a blog on that soon to come, but I wanted to post this photo today along with this thought that I have been encouraged to be mulling over; there is peace, kindness and beauty in each moment. I’m looking forward to spending some time this weekend doing nothing more than enjoying some moments. Happy weekend friends.
A very happy Valentine’s Day to the most amazing, beautiful, and kind woman I know. I’m so glad I married you. -benj
I will always cherish the moment and memory of you reading this to me. I love your heart. I love you. (Ok getting too sappy for a blog comment)
Xoxo
Absolutely love the photos! You both look so good and so happy – makes me feel happy! Hope every day of your life together makes you feel this good! Love you a lot! AS
