Abby & Jett {Married}

All I have to say is what a beautiful wedding day Abby & Jett had! I love spending the day with groups like this-- there was love all around & Abby & Jett are the most easygoing super-sweet couple you will ever meet! Surrounded by family & friends, these two tied the knot after 9 years of dating ~ they were meant for each other! Abby was such a gorgeous bride, & I loved her colors & details! The most amazing part of the day was the father/daughter dance - Abby's dad Dan obviously has the most wonderful love for his little girl, and it showed-- he wore a shirt that said "I loved her first" and must have spent hours with her practicing their dance! It was a sight to be seen! I just hope someone captured it on video-- it would put the youtube father/daughter breakout dance videos to shame!! They totally rocked the dance floor! :) I thoroughly enjoyed shooting their day & hope the couple has a blast this week on their honeymoon & loves their sneak peek from their wedding day!!

Addison & Lily

These are two of my favorite little ladies-- Ms. Addison & Ms. Lily (aka Lilybug) :) They are such pretty little girls - just like their mamma! I have watched these two grow since they were born and just when I don't think they could possibly get any cuter... guess what, they do! They are full of energy & just adore each other! So for their session they got to play on a great big bed, read books, sit on their very own little chairs, and run in their tutus, of course! We had a ton of fun with these two, it was a challenge working against the worst wind I think I have ever seen, but got some pretty cute shots nonetheless I think! I hope mom, dad & family enjoy the pics of their sweet little munckins!

Mr. & Mrs. Miller

I had the joy of second shooting for Allison & T.J. alongside Jeanna Hegewald of Portraits By Jeanna on Friday! We had a blast! T.J. & Allison were such a cute, fun & easy-going couple to work with! I could go on and on with writing how the day went, and how FANTASTIC their photos are... but I will let the images do the talking on this one! I could have posted 20 more images, & still felt like I had more to share! Geesh! What a beautiful day & amazing wedding day! I hope the Miller's love their photos as much as I do! :)

Maverick is 1! {& Domeyer Family}

I just love love love blue eyes--- and this one has some of the lightest & most handsome I have seen - Mr. Maverick! He just turned 1 year old, so it was time for some updated pictures!! He is such a little stud, and smiled lots for the camera! Big brother Mason joined in for a few as well as mom & dad! Jeff & Emily are expecting baby #3, so we had to do a cute idea for that! It turned out pretty funny, but like Emily said-- we'll have to hide it if it does turn out to be a boy! :) It would be great if they get the little sister, but a little brother would be just as wonderful! And then of course we had to fit in a few cake smash ones to complete the session :) I very much enjoy every time I work with the Domeyer family as I enjoy seeing the little ones grow & change ~ it just goes way too fast! Before I know it I'll be snapping my little guy's one year pics! I hope everyone enjoys the sneak peek!

Salow & Birt Families

I think I'm pretty lucky... I get to work with some of the nicest & best looking families around! Meet the Salow & Birt families! These guys finally got to put to use the family session Susie was given for Christmas a while ago....my maternity leave threw a loop in things last year, but I finally got to meet everyone! Laurie & Jared's little munchkins were SO cute-- I just loved the hot pink & blue! And you could tell they just adore grandpa & grandma. :) And I love it when families add their own personal touch to their session ~ Susie brought an antique tea set, and everybody sat down in a big group & enjoyed a cup of tea {or pepsi, in this case}. It was so sweet, and something they always do while at grandma's house! I hope they enjoy their sneak peek!!

Cordes & Lerch Family

Meet the Cordes & Lerch family! What a fun bunch!! :) Their first scheduled session was cancelled due to rain, but that wasn't stopping this family from making the second try at it worth while! I work with Emily, and so I was excited to meet her family! When she told me her step dad LOVES trains and everything about them, I knew we had to shoot some at the tracks! This can be risky, but at the location of the tracks you could see for miles! (& he even had a box that could tell where the trains were at, even if there were one coming near!) and my hubby assisted us with the rather large orange couch, in caae we had to do a quick move! I hope that Emily and her family enjoys the sneak peek, and I had a lot of fun & enjoyed meeting everyone!
