Finished up the gorgeous images of Taylor. There were so many beautiful and fun ones that I had a hard time narrowing down this post.. so enjoy them all!
Read MoreI need to finish editing the wedding that I second shot for a couple weeks ago, before I start on these gorgeous portraits, but I wanted to share one quick! Thanks for choosing me to do your seniors, Taylor!
Read MoreFigured I’d better get this post written quick… since I have a very busy next week with three senior sessions, and lots of other stuff on the schedule. This is from our four day camping trip to Yosemite and up higher in the High Serrias at June Lake. We did everything from rock climbing to biking to people watching, oh and lots of pictures :) There were a lot of good times, and lots of epic nights!! On our road trip home [8 hours] we filled five pages of my journal of memorable quotes. Ahhhh yess.
Read MoreAhhh I’m getting to some of my trip pictures :) It was a fabulous trip, but I’ve been running ever since my plane hit the ground on Friday night [two and a half hours late, I might add] and this weekend and the next two weeks look like they are going to be even busier. The last night I was in CA [yes, I know I haven’t gotten to the other parts of the trip:) but these are what I have edited] Katherine and I did a quick improptu photoshoot. We originally went out to find graffiti [part of my bucket list] and although we failed there, we still got some gorgeous images of Kate, and succeeded in having quite a bit of fun [just like the rest of the trip] Enjoy! [more trip images to come… hopefully soon]

Read MoreOh gosh, life’s been crazy! Crazy good. Quick picture update… because I’ve the days are full until I leave for California.. IN FOUR DAYS! I’m going to be there to second shoot a wedding with Katherine [who I featured here] and then we’re going to road trip and do fun things for the next seven days. :) So excited for it all, but it’s coming up way too fast! Anyway… here is a little of what my summer has looked like: Garage saling with friends {Chilling at the beach with the fam after long days} {Photoshoots – engagement pictures, seniors, a family, a dancer….} {teaching swimming lessons} {drinking coffee, lots of it, eating ice cream} {running a 5K with a friend [without training, ugh!] } {learning new music} {watching lots and lots and lots of baseball. And then some more} which I currently do not have pictures of…whoops! {writing baseball stories for the paper} {annnnd….. weeding the garden, milking goats, butchering chickens, visiting camp for the day, fun 4th celebration, playing volleyball, soaking in all the sun that’s finally here, giving haircuts, planning trips, cleaning cabins, a lot more} What about you? What’s your summer entailed???
Read MoreHere they are… the rest of the cuteness! To quote what my assistant Amy [my sister ;) ] told Zac, “You guys are too cute”. haha It sounds like their wedding this September is going to be lots of fun… can’t wait!
Read MoreOh my, get ready for a long post. I absolutely love this family, and we have lots of fun together! They’re all such a bunch of cuties, have amazing eyes, and they tell the best jokes :) We had good times hanging out with my camera…. {Sarah’s the second oldest [you already saw Luke’s pictures over here] } {She’s one of my good friends, and a beautiful girl. We have lots of good deep conversations together} {Natalia is next… and she’s a girl after my own heart :) my type! Plus she laughs at all my jokes… which makes me feel like I’m actually funny} {I did a happy dance when I saw this picture, isn’t she *gorgeous*?!} {Daniel is Zahm number 4, and he’s pretty cool} {He always helps clarify the jokes that Benjamin and Ian tell wrong} {Sometimes I wish I had hair like his} {He and Daniel get along pretty well} {And they’re pretty good on the tramp} {And then there’s Benjamin, the mischievous one} {But he’s also quite the gentleman, and thinks deep thoughts} {you can’t forget Ian… he tells the *best* stories} {and has the cutest giggle} {Isn’t he a cutie!?} {annnd the littlest one. Zoe.} {But just because she’s the littlest doesn’t mean she isn’t tough… “Zoe’s tough, one time she got hit by a shovel!”…
Read MoreI did Zac and Amanda’s engagement shoot this morning. They’re so cute together, look at them! More coming soon :)
Read MoreTiffani and I went out last week to do some “just for fun” portraits. Tiff started dancing when she was 3 and although she stopped in tenth grade she’s been coaching it since. We had lots of fun tramping around Brainerd, MN, losing parts off my car, and stupid garage sales that say “HUGE” on the sign but LIE! haha Best quote of the day, as she’s walking across the street in her tutu, “I don’t feel conspicuous at all.” Thanks so much for being a rad model Tiffani! I’d been wanting to shoot at this bridge and tunnel for a long time, and hadn’t gotten the chance. So glad they got saved for this shoot, they turned out so great! {Isn’t she just cute??} {Like it?? yessss} {A Favorite}
