Happiness and Love

I couldn't wait to share this engagement session with you! I'm so happy with the way these turned out! 

An engagement session is a wonderful time to get to know a couple and their personality. This couple is so fun and happy it really lets me look into the crystal ball and foresee an awesome wedding day! 

A photographer gets invited to capture special moments in time, it allows us to get a glimpse of others lives. For me, it was easy to see the happiness and love these two radiate. 

 I hope you enjoy the photos of Mike and Kristi as much as I do!

Having someone to love is FAMILY

Being a part of a family means you are part of something wonderful. It means you will love and be loved for the rest of your life. No matter what.

It's awesome to capture a family portrait and get to know the personality of the family! Here is a family where their love is obvious and fun!

I'm so happy that this couple were brave enough to do a few photos of just them!! This is so special since usually you only get these photos for engagement or wedding day, rarely after.

I hope you enjoy these FUN family photos as much as I do!

Adorable and in Love

     I couldn't be more in love with these photos of an in love couple! There is something so special about being invited in to capture and share a couple's love. The energy and space they allow you to enter is magical. It's so fun for me to be behind the camera listening to the giggles, watching the sweet glances at one another, and truly absorbing the personality of the couple.
Here is one of my recent engagement sessions Sam and Jodi. I love her creativity with the pumpkin save-the-dates...did you put this on Pintrest yet Jodi???

Fall Weddings

     I always embrace Autumn with open arms. As sad as I am to see summer go, there is something so refreshing about fall.  Whether it's the crisp air, the colorful leaves, or the feeling of a warm beverage in hand with a chill in the air, fall is a very enjoyable time of year! Fall weddings are becoming more and more common. And I am loving them! Today I wanted to share a wedding I photographed in September, the beautiful couple, Anna & Jesse.

The word Whimsical, comes to mind!

Such a fun group of girls! They duplicated "Bridesmaids" movie cover!

Stunning bride!

Just for fun!

Love capturing these moments!

What an awesome detail to share with your guests!

Life through the eyes of a 1 year old

I love when I get to photography family & friends! This is Christian, my girlfriends son. He is 1 month younger than my son. Needless to say, good buds :-) We took his 1 year photos a couple days before his birthday. 

Circle of Life

In my profession as a photographer I experience many relationships with people. Whether it's meeting different families, observing love of couples, being goofy with children, or finding out what's "cool" from seniors I enjoy them all! Today, I wanted to share another one of my favorites! This is my friend Lisa, her maternity photos turned out beautiful! This is such a magical time in your life, and I look forward to not only the journey for her, but also the relationship I will get to build with her daughter.
