• hello and welcome!

    we’re amber and greta and we're smitten! we like our families, music, coffee, a good that’s what she said joke, wedding cake (or any kind of cake really), laughing and spring among a long list of other things. you've found yourself on our blog. also affectionately known as the smlog :)! here you’ll find updates on what we’re up to professionally as well as get to know us on a more personal level. so go ahead, check us out and get SMITTEN!



jason+lauren: engaged! (it’s hooottttt!/smitten can raid your mama’s fridge?)

to say it was hot is an understatement.  we thought we might fall over.  but i counted it as my workout soooo….it’s all good.  and greta raided their mama’s fridge and bummed some gatorade.  that’s how we roll.  jason & lauren were soooooo sweet!  we had an absolute blast with them.  especially when we were in air conditioning.  the were funny, kind, in love…smitten perhaps?;) lame jokes aside, they are a beautiful couple, inside and out and we are so glad that we get to be a part of their wedding soon!  jason & lauren, here are a few of our favs!

Jason and Lauren, These are such great pictures! You can really see how much fun you two have together and how happy you will be! I wish you would have used the one in the grass in the newsspaper!! It would have blown away all the traditional ones away! Really, I love the one with the truck!
I wish you all the best!!! Huge hugs, Pat

You guys have been busy! Love the light in these.

Jamie - August 11, 2010 - 9:13 am

Great job! Love all the pine trees :)

juicy baby lucy!

smitten thinks the name lucy is just about the cutest thing ever, and lucy’s mom says it just fits her! we have to agree – lucy is so adorable and sweet. when we first arrived at her house and woke her from her nap, she was pretty sure she wasn’t thrilled with us being there (shoot, i’d be mad if somebody woke me up too!) and we wondered if she was trying to tell us something when she kept randomly shouting, “BYE!” during the shoot.:D  but by the time we left, she did not want us to go and cried for us to stay!! <3 here are a few favs of our spunky one-year-old friend lucy!

don’t be fooled. smitten was just pushing buttons, lucy was calling all the shots this time around!

my fav!!

second fav.
