Bailey & Kendall

Amanda and Johnny welcomed their second baby girl a few months ago and I was able to go to their home and capture her first photos! I loved shooting little Kendall and some of her big sis Bailey!

Ashley, Joab, & Baby Max in utero

Ashley & Joab are expecting their first baby boy in November, and I couldn't be more excited for them...and also that they let me capture her big ol' belly in a maternity shoot. here are a few of my favorites!

finney-marten wedding

I photographed this lovely wedding in June, and am finally getting around to sharing some on my blog. It was a fun, bright, summery wedding full of love...I had a great time watching Holly and Chad become husband and wife and then dancing the night away. Thanks Holly for letting me be a part of your day!

New Jersey Wedding

I had the pleasure of traveling to the New Jersey shore and shoot the wedding of Jessica and Brandon; a great couple that is the family of my friend Trent. It was a beautiful, casual, outdoor wedding and reception with lots of cookout food, dancing, and fun. When is the last wedding reception you've been to with softball?? Here are a few of the many photos taken that day. Congratulations Jess and Brandon, thank you for letting me photograph your day.

Today I finished my sister's year long senior photo shoot. We did Summer, Fall, missed Winter (oops), and now Spring. We went up to a horse farm where she rides sometimes and had a lot of fun on one of the first super gorgeous days of the year.












Just for fun, to show that the gorgeous pictures we get isn't always as easy as it seems, I present my first senior photo shoot bloopers!

a new year

Happy New Year!  My advice going in to this new year...




 

Never give up on the magic of wishes...

                                                                                                                                   

Always take time for a nap in the sunshine....

   

  and yes, dive in and live life to the fullest (always slide headfirst, too, even if you have to hold your nose and pray about it first. it always works out in the end).                                                               

Weddings for real this time...

So I just realized I posted no photos of weddings, but I had tagged it as post with weddings in it. ooops. Because I am getting married soon weddings are currently my favorite. One of these days I may not tear up at the wedding march...but don't hold your breath. 

Here are some of my favorite wedding shots of one of my favorite brides ever to shoot. Kyle and Melissa Newman were married on August 8th, 2008 with a beautiful reception following at Heritage Farm. She was a gorgeous bride and she is a great. friend. Thanks again Melissa and Kyle for letting me be a part of your special day!
