Rachel is an old friend from wayyy back when we were in middle school ;) It was fun to reconnect with her and get to meet her new fiance! These two were adorable together, and definitely just a little in love. I can’t wait for their wedding next year!
Read MoreMaura and Diego traveled all the way from Arizona to have an intimate wedding ceremony at Maura’s parents lake cabin in Fifty Lakes. I was blessed to get to be the 9th person at the wedding :) These two were so obviously in love, and excited to get married, and it’s always fun to get to experience unique weddings. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to document the two of you becoming Mr. and Mrs. Castellanos!
Read MoreKenzie was yet another gorgeous and fun girl to work with! She is also another Staples Motley Cardinal. Even though we had a couple challenges thrown at us, including her getting elbowed in the lip the day before at her basketball tourney, we had an awesome session and I love how her images turned out. Thank you so much, MacKenzie, for allowing me to be the one to shoot your seniors!
Read MoreKelsey was one of my 2014 Senior Reps, and this was her full session {we did a mini one earlier this year for her rep cards!}. She did such a great job of picking out her clothes, and we found some fun places to shoot her images, and coupled with the awesome light and her gorgeousness we had a great session. Kelsey, thanks so much for working with me… I enjoyed both our sessions together!
Read MoreSometimes when I’m out on a shoot… I take pictures of other things… Like the road….. {doesn’t this make you want to go on adventures down it?} Like my gorgeous assistant…. Like the light that made for an awesome senior session….. Happy Friday. ya’ll! Enjoy your weekend! I know I will be enjoying mine… Shooting a wedding, and attending my family’s reunion :)
Read MoreLaura is a friend and fellow photographer of mine, and I got the chance to shoot her extended families pictures this past week. It was fun to meet the rest of her family, and I loved seeing their relationships. Each of the three couples had such cute interactions with each other, and I can tell as a whole their family really enjoys each other. Laura’s sister Erica and her husband Tony are moving across the country soon, and so it was a chance for them to get pictures all together before life changes! We finished the portrait session out with a bonfire and s’mores, something their family has been doing together lately. Lots of fun! Oh, and you can’t forget Remy, their cute little poodle :) Thank you guys for using me for your family pictures, enjoy! P.S. Check out Laura’s photography at http://www.lauraradnieckiimages.com/

Read MoreThe beginning of June I got to go visit a friend {Katherine of www.katherinealison.com } in California for a week, and we packed everything possible into that week, including navigating both LA and San Fran traffic, 25+ hours in the car, road tripping up the coast, four days of camping, picture taking, a day at beach, hiking a mountain, the Palm Springs tram way, an afternoon in San Francisco, and topping it off with shooting a wedding the day before I flew out. It was crazy fun! Our travels together are always pretty great, and we end up exhausted but with a lot of good memories and full memory cards ;) Happy Saturday, ya’ll!
