Lucy-4 Months



Lucy is ready for summer!  We had a great session at my studio last week!  Lucy was very happy, even when we put her in a tea cup!  I totally forgot I had this tea cup for quite some time.  It's pretty small so not all babies can fit in it.  But I remembered before Lucy's session that she was a petite little one and though she could be the perfect fit and indeed she was!

Derek & Cori






I met Derek & Cori on a very warm sunny evening...97 degrees to be exact!  This was my first time meeting the couple and I had such a great time with them.  I"ll be photographing their wedding this July and I cannot wait.  Derek & Cori are electric together.  They kept laughing and smiling at each other all night and I just couldn't get enough photos of them.  My shutter button was tired by the end of our session..ha ha!  Thanks for a wonderful session and I look forward to spending your special day with you!

Kate-the big sister!


I love this photo of her "smelling" the lilacs...she really got into it!
My daughter Kate (18.5 months now!!) and I were outside this morning and I was snapping a few photos.  I realized it's been ages since I posted some updated photos of her on my blog!  I know I said I would be better at it...shame on me :)  I can hardly believe my first born is going to be a BIG SISTER! She's still my little girl, but at the same time, she's growing and exploring and showing so much maturity.   She's still such a little ham for the camera...I love it!

Summer-Fall Portrait Session Availability

Due to my pregnancy, I've decided to take it a little easy on the portrait side of things this summer and Fall.  I've got 4-5 weddings every month, which is a lot in itself!  With this in mind I've decided to do 3 portrait sessions per week this summer and fall.

May: No Appointments Available
June: No Appointments Available
July: No Appointments Available

Autumn & Joey



















Autumn & Joey are an absolutely fabulous couple.  I have adored them since the moment we first met for our wedding consultation.  What I love most about them is that they made me feel like I was a part of their family.  They are such a sweet couple and every person that was involved in their wedding was more than just a vendor to them.  Starting out with Autumn's sister Carmelle.  She designed/made Autumn's gorgeous wedding dress along with all EIGHT of the bridesmaids dresses!  She recently quit her job to design dresses full time!  I cannot wait till her website is up so I can post her info for all my future brides to be!!  Each one of these dresses were so unique! 

The ceremony was held at Faith-Lilac Way Lutheran Church, however Autumn's father is the one who actually officiated it.  What an incredible way they incorporated their family into their special day!  After the ceremony we rushed down to St. Anthony & Main to take photos.  Just as we were getting to the Stone Arch it started to pour.  We ended our day at the Golden Valley Country Club and wow what an amazing place!  Not only was the food to DIE for, it was absolutely stunning!  The grounds are breathtaking and luckily the rain stopped for a little bit so we could grab some photos there as well.  Autumn and Joey, I wish you all the best and I hope you have a blast in New York on your honeymoon :)

Amaya (5) & Avery (1)





oh my goodness these kiddos are little models!  I had such a great session with Amaya and her little brother Avery today.  They both were just little ham's in front of the camera.  Amaya was especially good with directions.  She knew exactly what to do and I'm just amazed with the images we got of her!  Watch out for this duo!

Jeremy & Christine















Jeremy and Christine had a beautiful wedding.  They are really the kick off to my wedding season and I had a great time with them.  Their wedding day was on the chilly side but they were still willing to go outside for a few outdoor shots.  I'm so glad we did because they are most definitely my favorite shots of the day!  Christine & Jeremy put a lot of care into the details of their day.  They hand made their fabulous programs!  I love the blue and brown combination.  Jeremy also bought a very special Tiffany charm to go on a bracelet that Christine already owns.  I adored the flower choices they had to coordinate with the day.  Super gorgeous and they were put together by the lovely Christine of Christine's Floral Touch!  Congratulations guys and hope you have a wonderful honeymoon in the Grand Cayman :)
