Baby A!

I always love seeing this family for photos, as they are wonderful to shoot and have become friends over the past few years. Their little man is getting so big...it seems like Mom was just coming to me for maternity photos!

Thanks for coming to my new place, guys! :)

Congratulations!

I shot this beautiful wedding on one of the most gorgeous days I have seen in a long time. I have shot the bride and her family in the past, and have always been warmed by how much love is in their family. When Dad saw his daughter in her dress for the first time, I witnessed one of the most beautiful reactions I have ever seen. There aren't too many times that I get teary-eyed at weddings, but I was full on ready to cry. :) I am always so happy to be part of a celebration where the families are so connected and have such a strong bond.

This wedding party was hilarious, totally full of fun and ready to be photographed! We had a great time with all of them! Big wedding parties are my favorite to shoot, as there is lots of ways to introduce drama and excitement in the photos with posing and lighting.

This wedding shoot reminded me of how much I totally love my job, and the ability to work with the most amazing brides and grooms around! Thank you both for letting me share in your celebration!!! :)

Best Mother's Day Gift EVER!

It is wonderful to see large families recognizing the importance of family photos together. Recently Joanna called me to come out for a multi-generational family photo that was a gift for her Grandmother from all the kids. Her Grandma is an amazing lady, full of fun and sauciness, and I really enjoyed meeting her and all of the family. If the sun hadn't started to fall I do believe we would have been out there for another hour or two shooting! Thanks to all of you for having me, and for giving your Mom/Grandma a priceless treasure of a gift this year! :)

Crystal and Jason ~ E-Session

The engagement (and wedding) season has begun in full swing, and we have been out in the evenings to photograph this years crop of blushing brides and handsome grooms. I must say we've also been fighting a few swarms of knats and bees and other such fantastical creatures as well...no one can say there isn't an element of danger in this biz! ;)

Crystal and Jason are such a sweet couple, and they were so easy and fun to work with. I am really looking forward to their fall wedding, and to seeing some old friends party like it's 1999 (you know who you are! ;) )
