Love & Laughter

Meet Ashley & Cody!! I will be photographing their fall wedding this October! I am so excited to share these… we had a GORGEOUS afternoon, and were even able to escape the threat of a few afternoon sprinkles. And the little bit of wind didn't stop us from grabbing some amazing images of these two! I drove up to one of my favorite shooting locations, and these two with their bubbly personalities and love for each other did not disappoint!! I just LOVE the first one, Ashley looks amazing, and SO head-over-heels happy!! As she should be! Can't wait to share in their big day!!

Enjoy~

Fast Forward

Remember this little peanut???

I sure do. Aubrey was such a little doll at her newborn session over a year ago, and now she is back, and cuter than ever!! Aubrey's mom and I had SO much fun styling this session-- Although I don't think we really could have gone wrong with anything we put on this little cutie! She is such a little ball of fun and energy, she kept me on my toes and was such a sweetheart! I can't wait to share this sneak peek from her one year session- complete with pretty outfits, gorgeous necklaces, and a fun colorful tutu and cake! And those little polka dot leg warmers… oh goodness! :) Enjoy!!

Gone Country

Meet the Knippers!! I love these guys--- and what better location to shoot their family session, than out by this families own timber-ground!? Their cows got to take over the pasture the very next day, but we took advantage while we could! I also photographed Rachel's senior pics (of epic proportion!) -- found here -- last spring, and it was a pleasure working with this family once again, only this time, for a family shoot! Randy & Michelle are such a great pair, and their family couldn't be any more polite and accommodating! (Especially for this 35 week pregnant lady…) And if you see Rachel out and about, be sure to congratulate her on her graduation from M.V.!! 
Enjoy the sneak peek~

Sisters

Where do I even begin....
These girls, are gonna break some hearts. Holy moly! When Kari and I started to plan outfits & accessories, I knew this session would be one of THE cutest to date. And these two did not disappoint!! We postponed this session for quite a while, since we have had one cold, rainy spring thus far! But we had a perfect evening for the session, finally! I worked with two of my favorite vendors for the girls' attire -- Palest Pink (necklaces) and Flourishing Creations (headbands) and Kari purchased the dresses from Zulily! Can you say ADORABLE combination?!! And the ladies even got their hair curled (by my mom and I). This was such a fun session, and the girls and I had a BLAST! To top it off, I had to throw a little tea party (from a little pinterest inspiration) for them complete with tea. (well... ok, it was juice!)
LOVE LOVE LOVE these images, and the girls in them!

Baby Girl on the Way!

Meet Kasey and Matt!! I had a blast with this couple! We had an absolutely gorgeous evening for our photoshoot. I was SO glad the weather cooperated! Last year, Kasey and Matt won this session at a benefit, and had planned on using it for when they had their first child. But when Kasey messaged me to share the great news they were expecting, I also had some news of our very own... we were expecting too... and due within a few weeks of each other!! So, I knew photographing their little one was not a possibility, so Kasey mentioned doing maternity photos! And I LOVE baby bump photos, so of course that is what we did! :) Kasey looked so beautiful :) They are expecting a little girl this June, and I wish them all the best in this crazy wonderful journey ahead!! Enjoy~

Model Status

Seriously, I have no idea how I got to be SO lucky. I look forward to my senior shoots every year, and it seems they just can't get ANY better. And then out steps miss Hannah in her red heels, black dress, adorable hat, red lipgloss and amazing blue eyes. Seriously?! I could probably submit these to a magazine & they would snag them right up. (Not that Hannah wants to do any sort of modeling.. even though she could totally get away with it!!)
We snapped a few photos of Hannah for the yearbook back in October of last year (in a fabulous blue & mint top!), and since then Hannah has gotten her braces off and wanted a few more done, so we ventured out on a brisk but beautiful (50 degree) day and snapped the rest! And the results couldn't be any more stunning. I had many moments where I looked down at my camera screen and was in awe - and could not wait to work up her images!! Hannah, Jen (her mom) and I had a BLAST shooting these! And yep, the girl can play soccer, to boot! She is an all around beauty and sweetheart and am beyond excited to share a sneak peek of her gorgeous images with all of you! Enjoy!

City Streets

Up on the blog today is Dylan! We had an awesome senior 'mini' shoot last week on the streets of Manchester. Dylan's mom Christine is owner of the local clothing shop Fabulous Fridays in town! (which has AMAZING clothing, shoes & accessories) in case anyone needs to do some shopping! :) She had asked me to snap a few of Dylan for his upcoming graduation from East Buchanan H.S. this year! I do really like this him in the urban/city look, and he rocked a few with his shades on as well. And yes, we DID get a few smiles out of him too!

Enjoy-
