The baby bump

This lovely couple is expecting a little girl in September... I can tell she's going to be a beauty! Not too much longer and she'll be here. I can't wait to see her!

Good luck with everything you guys!

Mike & Elicia TTD

Elicia, you are stunningggggg

Tonight I did my first trash the dress session. It was a blast and we got some awesome shots. But I found out it was much more than that. Mike & Elicia were married on May 23rd of this year. Mike is currently serving in the National Guard and will be deploying to Afghanistan for 12 months on August 1st. I have been through a deployment and anyone who has knows the anxieties and fears. Please keep these two in your prayers. Mike & Elicia-thank you for allowing me to capture this night and stop time for you. I know that you will both cherish these photos. Thank you so much for your devotion to this country. God bless you both!

This is what I often would read to find comfort when Ethan was deployed...

"Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the LORD:

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I trust Him. For He will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, thought ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For He will order his angels to protect you wherever you go." -Psalm 91: 1-11

A walk in the woods

Today my husband and I went for a walk with our neighbors to get some photos of their five beautiful kids. They were all a joy to photograph. Ethan and the youngest, Lyla, got into a yelling match and Lyla thought it was the funniest thing. I must admit, I did too. :)

And baby makes three...

I met with Chanel & Abram tonight at this gorgeousss location and we took some photos of their new family. :) I was lucky enough to capture some really precious moments. I hope you guys cherish these photos...the very beginning of your family. Congratulations to you both on your new little beauty. You have been very blessed!

Brackan turns two

My nephew Brackan, will be two years old on Friday so we took a few photos today to commemorate (if that's even a word) it. Rain threatened all day so I was incredibly pleased that it held off for the full hour we were outdoors! I found a great new location and I think these photos are precious! Brackan, you are way too cute. Happy birthday, buddy!

the love of cousins

These three cuties are all cousins... I photographed Oliver (3rd down) when he was just a few weeks old. Boy has he grown! Just like his aunt said, he was a little easier to photograph when he was that young; but getting cuter with age! Ezra is a wonderful big brother to his baby doll sister, Chloe. She is just as cute as a button. All in all, it was a great afternoon. Complete with my daily workout ;)

Ava and Mad Max

Wow, I have so many c u t e cousins. These two, Ava and Maddox are just way too sweet. Ava is so genuine in everything she says and does. She's got some incredible manners for such a little girl! Maddox will be one in August and just keeps getting cuter and cuter. Together, these two will make your heart melt!
