The Big Day...

Gorgeous bride, handsome groom, beautiful location, let's have a wedding! Not only did the rain stop, and the decorations were all perfect, I had never seen people so relaxed on such a BIG day! The mothers of the bride and groom were so laid back, even though running around like crazy to make sure every little last detail was just as it should be. I received a text the day after the wedding from the bride thanking me and saying they felt like the day was as close to perfect as it could've been.....It gets no better than that!

Besties...

So, yes! This first picture is an officer taking a picture! Maybe we could call him a "cop-ographer"?? I must say this is the first time I have had the police show up, and want to get some photography tips, but the girls got some fun pictures of them posing all around his car, and even some of them in it!.... You can tell from just looking at these, that they have such a close bond, and spend the majority of their time laughing and having fun. Thanks for making me feel young again if only for a few minutes ladies :0)

Play Date with Bella...

I met Miss Bella last winter, and she was such a joy to work with. I was very excited when her mom emailed me and invited me out to their house on the lake for a play date. We jumped on the bed (well, Bella did), played with her babies in her tree house, did some swinging, picked some apples, and even took a dip in the pool! Here's a peek of some of the fun we had together.

Happy 4th Birthday!!!

This was my 3rd or 4th time having a session with this gorgeous little girl, and I fall in love more and more each time. Her 4th Birthday is coming up, and it's hard to believe she will only be four as smart as she is. She will say things that make you say "wow!" Her mom told me that she talks about me and considers me to be one of her friends....That makes my heart smile...

Waiting on Baby Boy

Within one week, I had two of the most gorgeous pregnant mommy's, and here is one of them. Only a few more weeks until there will be a post of her gorgeous lil boy....I'm so excited!!

Beautiful Pregnancy...

Let's be honest....Most people do not look this amazing while pregnant, let alone pregnant with the third! After two very handsome little boys, she is getting a girl. Be on the lookout for pictures of that little beauty in the next few weeks.

Home Sweet Home...

In earlier posts, you can see the night that this family met their new daughter from China for the first time. She is home now, and doing great! Such an honor to meet this awesome family!

Worth the Challenge....

These photo's are in a certain order for a reason...let me explain. His mom contacted me to do a session for him turning 3, but she explained that he is not a fan of having his picture made at all, so she wasn't sure how this would go. I assured her that if she gave me about ten minutes he would warm right up. Well...after about 25 minutes of seeing his back, or his expression that let me know he was not going to smile for me, I began to worry! I thought I had used all the tricks I had, but finally with moms help, I started saying words like "toot" which he thought was hilarious! He started with the cutest little smirk that then turned into the most gorgeous smile! He made me work for it, and it was worth the challenge!!

Anything Zebra is right up my alley...

Green + Zebra = Perfection!! I can't express enough how much I loved this color combination! Mom did a great job of getting these cuties photo shoot ready! They all loved having their picture taken, even the gorgeous baby, which made for a really fun shoot.
