In many instances there are no words to describe pain, loss, grief & anguish at a time during what may very well be your darkest hour. All you have is tomorrow, and to live in the present and be thankful for what you do have. I've come to realize the beauty in lots of things through my photography, but one thing is for sure. I am thankful for the blessing of such caring & thoughtful friends, family, and the love of one truly amazing and giving husband that would do anything for me. Here's to all the beauty in life.

The Murphy's

And I'm back! 
After a much needed hiatus, and weeks of catching up on editing, I am pleased to share these images! And, I...LOVE...THESE-- And can't wait for Jamie & Eain to see them! We had quite an eventful shoot- I had lots of places I wanted to take these two with their pups. Jamie & Eain are my brother & sister-in-law and they were back this weekend from Ohio for some family time! So how better to top it all of than with a fun photo shoot. It was really hard picking faves on this one, but I hope the selection show the Murphy clan in all their true colors... them with the pups just having fun! And what a beautiful couple, to boot! I did, however, have a little help with this shoot: See below-
My husband Cory(Jamie's brother) on the right AKA: dog rounder-upper &
couch chauffeur and Jamie's husband Eain(showing him some love), on the left.

We had quite a fun time between Eain's funny faces, a few candid shots(that might have been inappropriate for some eyes, haha!) and the dogs being dogs! But, I definitely think that we ended up with some great images for Jamie & Eain! I had a lot of fun with these & hope they love them ~
Enjoy!

Haas Family

Meet the Haas family~ Jason, Nikki, Kaiden, soon to be baby #2 and don't forget Bella, their furry family member! I love photographing families multiple times and being able to experience & watch their children & families grow! What a joy it must be for Jason, Nikki & Kaiden to be anxiously awaiting the arrival of their next family member. We were able to capture some fun & unique fall family photos as well as had fun getting some candid images of Kaiden. And of course everybody got to hop in the big pile of leaves too! All of these images, but especially the last few images in the open field, make me smile. :) It is so exciting seeing a new little life beginning and can hope that these images portray this beautiful growing family the best that they possibly can. They were so much fun & I hope they enjoy their little sneak peek!

Addison S.

This morning's post is all about Addison. And what a cutie she is! I had great helpers for this shoot & they did a great job with keeping Addison happy and all smiles! Her little velvet peacoat & hat were perfect with pink polka-dots made complete with little Ugg boots & her own pink chair too, of course! After we took some images in town, we headed to the park where there was an abundance of leaves to play in as well as lots of beautiful colored trees! She had a ton of fun in the park (as you may be able to tell) and the girls and I had a ton of fun capturing these images of little miss A! Love 'em ~ Enjoy ~

Seamans Twins

Hello again! It is a joy to post today's post... I just plain love these two! I photographed these two cuties earlier this spring also. They are Logan & Addison and they will be turning the big "1" soon, so mom & dad wanted some cute images of them together as well as by themselves. I think we hopefully accomplished that!! They have got to be the cutest... and could definitely give Baby Gap toddlers a run for their money! They were sooo much fun, and laughed & smiled through the whole session. Although Addison wasn't a huge fan of her adorable headpieces, we still managed to get a few snapshots with her wearing them :) We even ended the session with a couple birthday cupcakes! Both of these twins couldn't have been more fun, and I hope mom & dad love their sneak peek!!
