Jen & Matt are crazy romantic. I had picked up on this a little bit at their Lake Kenoza Engagement Session but after witnessing their Lake Opechee Inn wedding day, it was crazily abundant! First check out Jen’s dress – if that’s not romance in lace, I don’t know what is. She and her girls were …
Charisma. This boy has it in spades. Just like his father – and his mother for that matter! This family has been a part of my heart since Brian & Liz’s Portsmouth Harbor Events wedding a few years back. We did newborn photos for this little man, and a few mini sessions since. At that …
The way to my heart? Good, solid, words. (grammar is not my strongest suit, but words – words I love) Stephanie & Mike sent me an email inquiry that included this paragraph “We’re planning to have a group of about 130 people at the MVG’s Crystal Ballroom/Fountain View Terrace for a vintage inspired, old-Hollywood type …
I know I’ve blathered before about how much I love newborn photos, but it’s so so true. Aside from the obvious tiny cooingness of it all, and the blankets and bows and diaper covers I get to shop for and swoon over, I love seeing new families be truly centered in the newness of it …
Reese’s mom turned her baby’s first year collection into a baby’s first yearS collection, and it’s been such a privilege to watch this little one’s personality grow in spades! They’ve had this hilariously humongous bear at every shoot – he’s been lugged here, there, and everywhere, and never once complained about it. He looks downright …
“Ever drifting down the stream–Lingering in the golden gleam–Life, what is it but a dream?” Lewis Carroll. A glorious, GLORIOUS dream. That’s the only way to describe Julia & Andrew’s jaw-droppingly stunning Mountain View Grand wedding. I’ve photographed weddings here twice before, and it’s always phenomenal, but this was just over the top glamour and fun …
Seriously? Are you ready for this? I mean, the perfect blondness and stunning eyes and the gorgeous parents should be enough, but just wait- wait till you see what’s at the end of this post. (ha, that totally reminds me of Grover’s The Monster at the End of This Book) Are you ready? Take it all …
There are few things sweeter than this brother sister duo. They were the ultimate Yin & Yang and I loved every second of hanging out with them. You’ll see what I mean –
I love when my families are so excited about the baby’s first year pictures, that they do a baby’s second year package too! These pictures speak for themselves – that little girl is the center of her parents & big sister’s worlds! We’re coming up on her 2nd birthday in the new year – I …
When I learned sweet baby boy Noah had become a big brother, I was over the moon! Back in his early days, we had a wonderful 6 month photo session, and I’d caught up with him for some toddler photos too. But this time he had a baby sister to share with me. She’s equally as adorable …
