A New Family

Imagine talking on your cell phone with your future in-laws in Capetown, South Africa just moments before your wedding begins. That's exactly what happened over the weekend as the guests were being seated at the wedding of Jessica & Ricardo. Ricardo's family lives in South Africa, where he & Jessica will soon make their home as well. Jessica called to check in with them to make sure they were able to watch the streaming video being sent out from the church to South Africa at 9:00p their time...gotta love the internet! Best wishes to this genuinely happy couple for a lifetime of blessings together!

And baby makes three!

There really should be some rules established about just how good you can look while you are pregnant! Yesterday I got to photograph beautiful Kathryn & her husband Dawson, who are expecting their first son at the end of this month. Yes, that cute little basketball belly is home to a nearly grown little baby boy just hanging out till it's time to make his grand entrance. It was such a privilege to photograph them during this precious time for their family. I especially appreciated Kathryn & Dawson decorating the baby's room in my business colors...that works out nicely! If I could have distracted them long enough, I think I would've tried to sneak out with that adorable rocker!

Young & In Love

Julie & Lucas are getting married next month...can ya tell? We had a photo session yesterday to get a shot for their signature mat that will be at their wedding reception. As always, my favorites are of the captured moments like Lucas making Julie laugh when she's trying to be serious. What a great start to a lifetime of happiness together.

Another Beautiful Family Session

I never cease to be amazed at what a beautiful setting for family portraits Memorial Park is. We had another perfect day for our session yesterday afternoon with our sweet family from Jackson. This is one photogenic family! I mean! Even little Miss Ella Catherine cooperated flawlessly. Her favorite lamb Pez dispenser did come in handy, along with the geese that swooped into the pond during our shoot.

Together

What a beautiful spring day we had for our family portrait session this afternoon with Camille & her fiance's family. Memorial Park was a popular place today as we shot at their seemingly endless settings to capture several different family photos. I couldn't help myself...I just had to snap a few of the little ones too.

William

Can I just say that I have the best job! I get to photograph fun, adventurous teenagers one day & precious, little newborns the next. This morning's photo session was with sweet baby William & his wonderful parents in their beautiful home. William is such a good first baby...he endured wardrobe changes & accomodated my every whim. He even took a little nap just long enough to snap some of my favorites shots of the day. It was an honor to photograph him for his very first photo session & to capture him in his precious christening gown. Enjoy your special day William!

Seniors

I love capturing the precious milestones of babies & toddlers, documenting the many changes that take place in those first years, but there is something so fun about photographing teenagers. Once they warm up to the camera, they let their playful side & true personality come out & that makes for excellent lifestyle images. I had a senior portrait session this afternoon with Anne, such a beauty with a fun, adventuresome attitude. Her yard was a perfect location for our session & we explored it all. If you are graduating in 2009, give me a call...we'll plan out this once in a lifetime session, making sure to capture the true you. Right now when you order $300 or more in senior portrait print products, your session fee is free!
