After Chris and Hollis’ beyond amazing wedding in Upstate New York, we took our first-ever train ride to New York City. It truly was “planes, trains and automobiles” on this trip! It’s a beautiful ride – we totally recommend it. So much better than flying. Also, I was reading my Hunger Games book and imagining Katniss and Peeta dining in …

As I wear long sleeves and boots, I think I’ve accepted that summer is over. But I don’t want to…because. THIS.SUMMER.ROCKED. Here’s a little review of it, according to Instagram. :) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We had plenty of adventures – day trips, camping, wakeboarding, leisure diving, walking in the 4th of July parade, being on the water, playing in our cardboard castle …

I have to say, we have really been enjoying our summer! We hope you have been, too. :) When we’re not shooting, we’re usually playing. There’s been lots of sunshine, friends, food…and then came AMERICA’S BIRTHDAY. Our crazy friend Kim and I threw together a semi-last minute ‘Merica party, and we encouraged our friends to come all decked out. i.e. …

Amos and I have a tendency to unintentionally match our outfits. The other day I put on a blue dress for our evening shoot, only to see Amos was already wearing bright blue pants! This happens to us…All. The. Time. I guess it just means we’re MFEO (made for each other). :) I like that, a lot. This time, it …

Here are two things we love: people and fun! One of our favorite parts of our life is being involved in Young Life, because it meshes those two things together so beautifully. We love the fun we get to have in Young life and we love being part of high school students’ lives even more! The hit of the year …

. And the winners for the Fun Date Contest are………. Kayla & Chris Spangler -AND- Amy & Aaron Strawn YEP, TWO WINNERS! Why? Because picking the winner for our Fun Date Contest was next to IMPOSSIBLE! I kid you not – it was agonizing. We were in love with so many of the stories submitted, from staged proms to gorilla …

Our Facebook contest last week was SO MUCH FUN that we’ve decided to do another contest this week!!!!!! This contest is for all you MARRIED COUPLES out there! Holllllllla!!!!! If you’re like us, we heart being married. Having someone to walk through life with and have endless slumber parties with is pretty much awesome. Marriage is a constant friendship that …

Welcome to Carly Loves Amos! You’re probably noticing that things around here are a little different! And by a little, we mean a lot. 1. We changed our name. Yep, we decided to just go for it even though we were a little nervous about the transition. We feel “Carly Loves Amos” really shows what we’re passionate about – love, couples and marriage! …

I really like a change of scenery. Even as I write this, I’m sitting in the middle of our studio on my laptop, instead of being tied to my desk. To us, predictable usually means boring, which is one reason we really heart getting out and traveling. One of our most recent adventures was to California. We’ve been there several …

On most days, I really like to get out on an adventure. Clarification – on NICE days. Nice equals above 70 to this girl, and surprisingly, we’ve had temps in the 70s and even 80s (EIGHTIES!) in the last few weeks. We had a terrible flood in the spring of 2011 and, among the wreckage, it did manage to produce …
