The Wedding Day

Can I get a little sappy? There is something so special about a wedding.  Sharing a new beginning with someone, capturing cherished moments, can you beat that? This day was just so magical. Oh, can I also add lucky? We dodged the snow not once, not twice but THREE times! It was a beautiful day! Cold, but beautiful, and these guys made it all worth the while. 

These guys had a rockin' reception! Complete with Karoke, break dancing in tuxedos, and dance off!  So much fun! And that just totally fits their personality.  So much fun.  Stayed tuned for a glimpse at the reception...coming soon!

A favorite picture

I have spring fever like you wouldn't believe.  So, to torture myself, I checked out some photos I took last summer in the 90 degree weather, and I came across this.

Look at the perfect sunlight in the background shining on her dress! Doesn't that look so perfectly lovely? So until Summer comes our way, I'll just enjoy the sun through photos. Feel free to join me!

Beautiful Bride

Ummm...seriously? Isn't she beautiful?  I would kill for her perfect eyebrows.  They just make her face so complete.  This day couldn't have been better.  I woke up on Thursday to a wintery, blowing blizzard of a day and I was hoping with everything inside it wouldn't stay like that for this shoot-and much to my utter happiness, it was one of the most beautiful days we've seen in a while!  So a beautiful bride with beautiful weather, could I honestly ask for more? 

Mini Shoot Sneek Peek!

This was soooooo much fun! I will definitely be having another one of these soon, so stay tuned! In the meantime, here's a sneek peek of how our day went!

Custom designed announcments

LoVe BiRdS

Such a fun couple! I'm very excited for them.  I didn't even have to tell these guys to gaze hopelessly into each others eyes. They just did it. Oh yes, they are so in love. ♥♥♥♥





Ya know how they say a picture is worth a thousand words? Well-I'm pretty sure this right here is worth a thousand fights. ;-) I'm sure these two will have a more than a few make up sessions....or bragging rights at least!

Need I say more?

Santa's Babies

All I want for Christmas is to see these smiles every single day!

A New Kind of Christmas Card

New projects are always so fun. Sometimes they are like a bad algebra problem that you can't quite figure out. But you keep at it, and nothing feels better when you finally get the answer right! This is a 5x7 flat double sided card printed an art linen paper and is so cute! This is just a glimpse of the many custom-made products I am able to offer my clients!

Just adorable!

A tiny bundle of perfect squishyness! I love it!

Pumpkin Pickin'!

I always remember as a kid I loved the day when we'd go pick out pumpkins. But watching my own little ones pick out theirs has turned out to be twice the fun! We even went back to the same pumpkin patch we went too when I was young.

Easy Peasy!

Oh how I LUFF taking this family's pictures. They are always so fun! Their little one has got to be one of the easiest toddlers I've ever done. She was full of personality and smiles!  And the leaves, so pretty! Love it! Hope you enjoy your sneek peek 'J' family!

Fall Family Preview

I'll tell you what, those colors out there are so beautiful. If you haven't already booked a session with me, call me soon before they all the leaves are gone! I still have a few openings! I had a lot of fun taking pictures for such a wonderful family. Enjoy your Sneak Peek 'K' Family

Spoiled Rotten

Who? This little one? Probably (how could you not!?)
But no, my friends--he's not who I'm talking about.
The spoiled one would be: ME.
This is my little nephew, ain't he cute?! Which means I have the time to kiss him, hug him, love him, squish him, snuggle him and then send him on his way to his mommy. I could totally get used to this whole 'grandparents adavantage' thing.



Hmmm....well-I guess I will just have to wait my turn. :-)

Hot Summer Days...

Have I mentioned I love summer? Because I do! It makes shoots like these perfect!!
We did this about 7:00 and we were all sweating like a herd of pigs (and by we I mean me). But regardless, this family still pulled it off perfectly. I thoroughly enjoyed myself!

It's nice to know I'm not the only one who can't give their husband a kiss without the kids climbing all over me. Thank you 'J' family! I LOVED it!
