The Elders 30 November 2013

The weather this time of year could not have been any more perfect for this family. It was sunny with no snow on the ground and the wind was very mild! A good omen for sure. I am so in love with little Noah, he is just the cutest little kid who loves cakes....patty cakes that is. This whole family just looked like they stepped right out of a magazine. Every time I asked them to change into a new position it was like they had done it a hundred times before. So comfortable and casual together. I really enjoyed photographing these guys and I hope you enjoy these preview photos from their session.

The D Family Three-peat 27 September 2013

For the third year in a row I got to photograph this family and I am just tickled about that! So much fun to see how the kids are growing up! This whole family could easily be in a catalog for clothes. I had a really great time with them and really enjoyed shooting in this new location we discovered. When I went to scout the location there was a giant piece of railroad equipment that was casting some awkward shadows on this building but happily, it was moved by the time we went to do our photo shoot. Crisis averted. The first photo cracks me up cause that little man was a little cranky to start out but when we got to this set-up he suddenly just put one hand in his pocket, the other up on the post and then crossed his feet and smiled. It was hilarious, like suddenly a switch flipped and he was totally into the modeling thing. Enjoy!

The Bride Wore Blue Toms...Amanda and Kevin Wedding 19 October 2013

...and the Groom Wore Orange Striped Socks! I don't normally do wedding photography but when I do give in to friends requests, it is always a joyous experience. This couple could not be more friendly, generous, and beautiful both apart and even more together. There are hundreds and hundreds of photos but I have narrowed it down to this group as some of my favorites. I have to say that even the wedding party was great to work with. They were like a professional wedding party, willing to do whatever I asked and happy to do it! It was a simple, but elegant fall wedding full of fun!

Kaitlyn Babycakes Cake Smash 13 January 2013

I seriously tried to pare these down but it was extremely difficult, there were WAY too many cute ones. Kaitlyn is turning the big 1 as you may have guessed so we did a Babycakes cake smash session to celebrate. At first, she had trouble believing that we wanted her to dive in to the giant cupcake in front of her with reckless abandon. Once she got a taste though, she was totally in to the whole thing. She had fists full of cake and frosting from her eyelashes to her toes. Kaitlyn thought it would be especially fun to get her feet involved in the fun as well. We even got her to stand up for a couple and she was very proud of herself! Happy 1st Birthday Kaitlyn, I've enjoyed watching your first year of life.
