Homespun Happiness for The Muraskis: Max & Brooklynn 22 July 2017

A beautiful backyard wedding filled with family, friends and fun is how I would sum up this wedding in one sentence. Max and Brooklynn, aka the Muraskis, are such a natural couple who made their wedding very personal with tons of meaningful touches. Held on the absolutely gorgeous property of Auntie Jeanne and Uncle Jay, everything was beautifully staged. From the recycled cake topper to the hand-dipped dress to the glass pendant on the memorial candle everything was vintage, hip and had a story of its own. The bride painted a still-life that guests were invited to add a flower to the front and add their name to the back in lieu of a guestbook. When the rain began to fall, everyone moved into the barn for some music by the band Speakeasy. I'm a total groupie of theirs and as expected, they rocked the barn!

Another Baby Hoy Brings Joy 30 May 2017

Baby J is mellow. She has no hair and big eyes but already loves her daredevil of a daddy when dips her down. Maddie is a big sister now and while that takes some getting used to, I can tell she's going to be great at it. I've been watching this family grow since before they were a family. Thanks for letting me share in your newest addition! Enjoy.

Maddie is a budding artist! (see below)

And like all good artists, she knows when to leave 'em wanting more. Maddie out.

Being 1 is Hard 2 April 2017

Being 1 year old is hard sometimes. There are bubbles and balloons and boogers galore that fill your days while some crazy lady laughs over and over trying to make you smile. That pretty much sums up my first shoot with the newly minted 1 year old K. She has the biggest, most beautiful eyes I've seen in a while. At one point she even started to try and laugh just like I was which just killed me. This family were first timers with me and I had a great time getting to know them and being vetted by Ms. Emily, the family pup. Thanks for letting me hang with you guys on a lazy Sunday. Enjoy.

 I love this last photo, it's the newest addition to my collection. #awkwardfamilyphotos All my shoots have at least one.

Styled for Sweetness 27 November 2016

Another family that is new to me, meaning the first time I've done a photo shoot with them, and boy were they fun! The girls are so spunky and fun and such big smilers. Big sister has tons of energy and the baby really stole the show with her mellow attitude. Dad trying to wrangle the dogs and soaking up the love of his family is priceless. Mom styled the whole gang so beautifully they look like they belong on the cards that people see as samples on websites. I love that the colors they're wearing aren't classic Christmas colors. It makes it so much more modern and unique. I think we all had a good time running around the Christmas tree farm. Every mom thinks their kids were the worst and it's never true witnessed by the personality that shines through in these photos. Thanks for wrapping up this season with a good time on a great day! I hope we get to do it again. Enjoy.
