Happy 1st birthday!

July 30, 2010 Portraits

I had the opportunity to photograph this adorable family again and I couldn't believe a year had already flown by since I last saw them! Their youngest recently celebrated his 1st birthday and it was so much fun photographing him trying to keep up with his older brother (and he wasn't too far behind!)

Elizabeth & Scott

July 26, 2010 Weddings

Where to begin!? This wedding was the perfect way to get back into the swing of things after the birth of my son and WOW did it feel great to shoot a wedding again!

Elizabeth and Scott's day was absolutely amazing and the storms that were swirling by didn't cause anyone to skip a beat. Elizabeth and Scott just broke out in laughter when the rain started coming down in the middle of their outdoor ceremony...talk about good sports! It was such a memorable day and I personally think the cute umbrellas that had to go up for a short time made for some great photos. :) Elizabeth & Scott were radiant and, as you will see below, they were beaming the entire day!

Elizabeth & Scott - thank you from the bottom of my heart for having us photograph your day. It was such an incredible honor!!

Venue: Bearpath Golf & Country Club
Florist: Ashley Fox Designs
Entertainment: Bill Hermann

Bearpath is such a gorgeous setting for an outdoor wedding

Elizabeth just about to see Scott for the first time that day!

Ashley Fox Designs did an extraordinary job on the flowers

A little rain to give the couple good luck (not that they need it) :)

The rain stopped just in time for Elizabeth & Scott to exchange rings...it was perfect :)

They were so much fun to photograph!

Bill Hermann had the reception hopping from start to finish!

My baby boy is somehow already 5 weeks old and I swear every time I pick him up in the morning he's grown another inch. He just started smiling (his daddy got the first gummy grin) and he's melting our hearts on a daily basis. :)

Isla

June 15, 2010 Portraits

Sweet little Isla was born on May 25th and has the most amazing hair I've ever seen! Isla and my son were born just 1-day apart and live only 1 block away from each other, so I'm sure they'll be buddies and creating mischief together in no time...with Isla's older sister Addison leading the way of course. :) It was so much fun doing Isla's first photo shoot and I just can't wait to watch her grow!

Thank you Elizabeth & DJ for having me to document your beautiful family once again! :)

It's been merely 2 weeks and although it's felt like maybe a few days, it's funny that I can only vaguely remember our life without him. I am frantically trying to get time to slow down but every day seems to fly by faster than the previous and he seems to grow and change every time I turn around. (It probably doesn't help that I never know what day it is!)

Stay little just a little longer Alexander so that I can kiss your sweet toes and tuck you under my chin for, well, until I'm ready for you to grow. Two weeks ago when you were put on my chest and you looked peacefully into my eyes, I knew that your Dad and I would never be the same. I will never forget that feeling. I will never forget the joy in my heart and the love that poured out as I held you for the first time. You have changed us forever little Alex. We love you to the moon and back.

*The photos below are a compilation of my work and my good friend Kari's (she also photographed our wedding). I am always in awe of Kari's work and will always cherish the photos she took of our little family)
