5 Years ...

5 Years ago I had the honor of capturing precious little "A" just a few short days after she first graced the world. It doesn't seem possible that she is about to turn 5. Each year I get the opportunity to document "A's" birthday ... to see how much she's grown and changed ... to spend a little time with her and her wonderful family. This was the perfect session to start off the fall portrait season ... even if the weather was anything but fall.

Thank you, "V" family, for allowing me to capture your beautiful family once again. I love that you want to photograph your children and family each year and that I can be a part of those memories. Here is a sneak peek!

Baby Blues

Oh.My.Goodness little "L" is just the cutest! His big blue eyes, a smile that will melt your heart, and the chubbiest little legs that just scream to be squeezed. So I show up to his 6 month session and this little guy is all smiles ... and then the eye rubbing starts ... followed by some crying ... and it all ends in a power nap (which still gave us a chance to capture some cute sleepy portraits) that then resulted in a happy and awake baby so it all worked out. I love that the S family is dedicated to capturing their kiddos a few times a year ... I know they will all treasure these images forever and I just love getting to see their beautiful children grow and change.

Thank you guys for inviting me into your home to document little "L's" 6 month birthday. He is so precious!! Here is a sneak peek into his session:

A Garden Wedding

I met Kiah and Patrick when their precious little boy was just a few days new. Now, almost 2 years later I got the great honor of capturing their wedding ceremony in the garden of the York Wedding Chapel. It was such a sweet ceremony ... with just the two of them, Kiah's mom, and little "K". It was intimate, beautiful, and such a wonderful moment for their sweet family. 

Kiah and Patrick ... Thank you both for trusting me to document such a huge moment in your lives. I pray God's blessings on your marriage! Here is a sneak peek into your big day!

2 Year Old Cutie

I've been photographing little H and her family since she was in her mommy's belly ... and now I've captured her 2 birthday portraits ... which seems impossible. Time just flies by so quickly! "H" isn't one to sit and smile for the camera so this was an on-the-go photo session. I hope I was able to capture her sweet energy, smile, and fun loving 2 year old spirit. 

A big thank you to the "S" family for continuing to trust me to document your family's memories. I love how much you guys value the importance of having your family photographed ... I know you all will cherish these portraits for years to come and that your kiddos will really appreciate it one day. 

Here is your sneak peek!

Precious Baby "C"

Little "C" made her grand arrival 4 weeks ahead of schedule ... she was a tough little cookie though, and didn't have to stay in the NICU long before her mommy and daddy got to take her home - which I was excited about because I couldn't wait to meet her!! We waited a little longer than usual to do her newborn portraits since she was a preemie and was just so small. She was a perfect angel for her portraits ... so relaxed and sleepy ... well, as long as you didn't try to put her on her tummy :) Here is a sneak peek of her newborn portraits!

B + T: Engaged!

I met Brooke and Taylor this evening to capture their engagement portraits. They are a super cute couple and seemed effortless in front of the camera. You could really feel the love between them ... which makes me smile and makes for amazing portraits. These two were up for anything - walking through wet mud, venturing into bug infested woods, and walking through tall thick grass just for some pretty flowers ... it was quite an adventurous night :)

B&T, Thank you both for choosing me to document this very special and exciting time. Here is a sneak peek into our time together!
