I photographed such an adorable family tonight. Such well behaved, fun kids! The little one is pretty independent, but so stinkin cute! Can't believe the warm weather we're having... Last week I thought fall was starting. But I'm not complaining! Hope you had a great Monday!

I had the pleasure of doing my brother's beautiful girlfriend Brianna's senior photos. It was such a beautiful afternoon filled with gorgeous sunlight. Brianna is stunning and such a sweet gal. Love having you around Bri. :) Hope you love these!

A little bit of everything...

Today I'm going to throw a few posts together since I did more than one session.... That doesn't normally happen but it really worked out great today. First I met a couple my husband knew from his childhood. It was neat that they were able to catch up, now both being married and they have a beautiful family. Later on we went to one of Ethan's sisters house and photographed all of their 8 children. I just loved the way the light touched the field we were in....just beautiful--not to mention the amazing weather we had today! :) I hope you're enjoying your weekend!

Senioritis

Today Emily joined me for a senior session. I was crossing my fingers because it looked like rain...again. And unfortunately, it didn't stop for us. We had fun anyway, venturing through the woods and we came out looking like drown rats. Ok, I should speak for myself! Despite the weather, I'm extremely happy with the shots we got today and Emily I hope you are too! I hope you enjoy your senior year! God bless you.

Tonight I met with Sandy and we switched between a couple beautiful locations for her senior pictures. It looked like rain on my way there but turned into the perfect evening for photos. Best of luck in your senior year Sandy!

Fantastic weekend

Kiera and her beautiful mommy

This was all her... She's a natural :)

This is 7 month old Kiera. Before sneaking away for our anniversary, we met with her little family yesterday at a beautiful park. She is such a happy little thing, even after being woken from her nap! She hardly made a peep the whole time. Ethan came along for the shoot, but he didn't bring his camera... but I needed him around to be his crazy self. Weird how much more at ease I feel with him there. I'm so grateful he's mine... Happy one year Anniversary Ethan! I love you!!

preserving summer

It feels like it's been a while since I've done photos for family and forgot how relaxing it is... I definitely enjoyed myself! I even got them to laugh a little--that's the best part. If anyone's laughing, it's usually at my hubby, not me. :) Here are a few from tonight's session...

There's more where that came from

You may kiss your bride...

Here are a few photos of the lovely couple who are now enjoying their honeymoon. :)

Baby Love

This is Ashlynn.

She is such a beautiful baby and was happy and jibber- jabbering the whole time. Love that! :)

It's a beautiful day

Today I shot my first official wedding. The weather was perfect, the bride was gorgeous, the groom was funny, I had my husband by my side...It was a fantastic day. This wedding had such exciting elements to it. The bride, Bridgette, sang to her husband... I was all tryin to blink back tears... Such a blessed day. Glad to be a part of it! Here's a sneak peak... I haven't gotten anywhere near the ceremony photos yet. When I have more time, I'll post more. :)

"Only God could love you more than I do..."

this is what she sang to her man. So sweet.
