1) Because I can no longer keep the awesomeness of this picture to myself!
2) Because if I attempted to share their whole post this evening, I’d never get to the date night my hubby has planned!
3) Because this family rocked their session and they deserve a little super, super sneak!!
Stay tuned, lots more cuteness is on the horizon thanks to the “B” kids!
This weekend I met up with Rachel and Dan to capture some images marking their engagement. We had a great time together; and I’m pretty convinced I haven’t laughed that hard during a session before! We dodged golf balls for the first part half of our time together which made it even more comical. The latter part of our session was a little on the adventurous side, causing more smiles and yes, some pretty tender moments.
Here are a few of my favorites!
I found this huge green leaf to peek through while Rachel and Dan were enjoying a tender moment. I love how it turned out!
This one might just be my favorite from the session. Rachel was totally working the camera by this point. When I got home and saw the image on my screen, I discovered there seems to be a heart in the picture too! Can you find it?! Oh how I love happy surprises!
This tree was so pretty, we couldn’t pass up a chance to get it in one of the pictures too.
Rachel also told me how much Dan loves his truck and how they enjoy muddin’ in it as well! Yes, I grew up in a muddin’ kind of town, so taking a moment to capture them in “their element” seemed perfect!
Check out those cowgirl boots!
We left our first location and decided to head over to the lake. On the way there however, we realized there wasn’t an entrance so I convinced these lovebirds to head out into the weeds for a few minutes. I happened to walk away with some serious bites on my feet (hint: flip flops aren’t so great for this kind of an adventure); but these images totally made it worth all the “pain!”
I couldn’t decide: color or black and white?
And, of course, I had to end with another kiss.
Thanks for a great afternoon guys! I can’t wait for your wedding.
I love the “Heart” .. great job…. My favorite is them peaking around tree..
It’s almost here…
Sipping hot chocolate, gazing at my brightly decorated Christmas tree, all while cuddled up with my loved ones on our soft red couch. I simply love this time of the year! From anticipating the joyous moments with family and friends, reveling in the miraculous meaning of the season and running out to the mailbox each day to see what fun card awaits me; it just couldn’t get any better!
This also means that it’s time for those last minute family sessions. You know, the one you’ve been meaning to schedule since July! Since there are lots of you who are eager to capture the magic of Christmas this year, I’m offering my Mini-Session Christmas Packages again.
Included in your session are 50 cards to send to your loved ones, and because you already know how excited that kind of mail makes me, I wanted to share some designs from my Christmas Collection this year.
Each of these is created to be a 5×7 card and can be either photographically or press printed. The latter includes a coordinating back.
Just email me for specific pricing and availability! But hurry…. it’s almost that time of the year!
Love your designs this year. Can’t wait for ours to be done.
Okay these are seriously the best Christmas card layouts I’ve ever seen! Anthropologie level of awesome! (That means a lot!)
This past weekend I met up with my dear friend Jolene, during a difficult time in her life. She asked me to come and capture some images of her sweet family while they were all together. I counted it an honor to be invited to share such a tender day with them.
I felt compelled to post these images of Jolene and her sister because they display not only their outer beauty, but their smiles shine a light into their inner beauty as well. Despite the difficult circumstances, each of these young ladies reflected attitudes of both hope and peace.
Thank you Jolene for allowing me to spend this time with your precious family.
Much love as you continue on this journey.

Beautiful girls..great work.
My little get together with Chelsie was completely last minute, but such a fun experience! She happened to need a picture of herself to attach to an application at USF, so we met up for a mini session. I actually think we took more time looking for a parking spot than we did shooting these images! However, I fell in love with them and since they reflect Chelsie’s joyful personality so much, I had to share them with you too!
Which is your favorite? I just can’t decide!
Post those comments and send out some love to Chelsie!
Good luck on this fun endeavor girl!

Thanks Annie for inspiring all of us to capture our families at the present! Ashley and I talked about how they hadn’t had family portraits done (where all 6 of them were behind the lens) ever! So awesome! Can’t wait to get all 31 of us behind the lens as well:)
