I was first contacted by Christian to take pictures of him proposing to Andrea. It was a first for both of us but I was so excited to do it! (She said yes by the way)

Last week Melissa and I got to shoot their engagement session. The weather was perfect and the park we were at was FULL of people taking advantage. It was good that Christian & Andrea were not afraid of a little attention. We had a couple walk up to us with their two dogs and were trying to get Melissa and I over their house that night to look at some puppies they wanted to get rid of. Weird to say the least.

All in all we had so much fun and we're so please with the pictures. We can't wait to photograph their wedding next year!

I know it has been a while since we've posted pictures of our girls so here you go! We've settled into our new place and the girls are very excited about having their toddler beds(though they sleep in the same bed half the time) and their play room. Speaking of the beds, today after being put down for their nap today they ended up taking a nap together in a little red tent that they have in their room. With no pillows or blankets! They're too adorable.

It's amazing how quickly they are learning now. Bella took apart their night light and unscrewed the light bulb and brought it to me. The girls remember everything to. They can count to ten, say a fair amount of their abc's, and if I tell them that they can have chocolate milk after they take a nap the first thing they say when they wake up is, "Chakit Milk". I apologize for the run on but thats how I said it outloud to myself just now.

So below are some recent images. The first is Bella holding my hand as we walked to see the farm animals around the corner. I think its just so sweet that they will hold our hands so I had to take the picture. The second is Ava with Pappap on his tractor. He gives them rides around their house and they think its the best thing in the world. I asked Pappap to give me a ride to but that didn't work out. That would be a funny picture though, lol. The third picture is Ava and Melissa. Ava pets her first goat at the age of two. The last picture is Ava and Bella on Halloween. They were pirates and still think they are. I asked Bella what she wants to be when she grows up today and she said, "Pie-rit". I'd like to add that Ava said Daddy.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these images of our little ones. Look forward to seeing some pictures from the engagement shoot we did today.

Have a great day!

Michael and I were excited to shoot Fred & Devon's wedding! We shot their engagment pictures earlier this year and bonded instantly with them. Devon was gorgeous and everything about the wedding was gorgeous.

I always love a wedding with emotion and Devon was showing that emotion before the ceremony started, which of course brought tears to my eyes. Wether I know the person or not, if someone is showing emotion, I will most likely be joining them.

We are so happy for Fred & Devon! The wedding was a blast and so much fun! I hope they enjoy their honeymoon and the sneak peek of their wedding day.

Melissa and I had the pleasure to shoot Paul & Lauren's wedding. I've known Lauren for like 5 years. It was great seeing her again as well as so many other friends. This wedding was a wedding full of wonderful people. And despite running late and the weather, no one let that get in the way of celebrating this great couple coming together as one.

Thank you Lauren and Paul. Enjoy your honeymoon!

Check out the sneak peek!

Michael had the opportunity to meet with Joan beforehand, I did not. I only knew her from the emails we've been sending back and forth over the past few months. I could already tell that she was a great person and I would enjoy working with her. I was excited to finally meet her and when I did she was even nicer than I imagined, unique and looked beautiful.

Joan and Paul are a very unique couple. I am so happy we had the opportunity to shoot their wedding. They've been together for 10 years and watching them on their wedding day anyone could easily tell how much in love they are. The chemistry between them was amazing and was like a gravitational pull. On several occasions I found myself crying because the love was just bleeding through them and was so easy to see.

Enjoy the sneak peek :-)

Chris and Lara are such a nice and wonderful couple. Their wedding reception was held at the Mercer Museum and everything was absolutely beautiful from the location to the flower arrangements. Lara made looking simply gorgeous in her dress look easy. Our best wishes go out to Chris and Lara as they start there life together as husband and wife. Enjoy your sneak peek :-)

Krysta and I have been friends for a few years now, which made shooting this wedding even more exciting. I knew going into this wedding that if the rest of Krysta & Randy's friends and family are as fun and crazy as the two of them, this wedding should be a pretty good time. I was right and we are very happy with what we caught at the reception.

The wedding party was fun to work with and great jumpers (well mostly....the groomsman who did a nose dive into the ground...you are a great jumper, and who said white guys can't jump)?

Congratulations Randy & Krysta! Enjoy your sneak peek :-)
