Kayla and Donovan - Wedding Day!

Yesterday I photographed a beautiful outdoor wedding.  Kayla and Donovan are such a sweet couple.  They have been dating since they were in the 8th grade and one of the groomsmen told me "Donovan never had a chance...haha".  Kayla was a stunning bride and you could see the love on Donovan's face as she walked down the "aisle".   Can't wait to do the "trash the dress session" with these two!  They are so much fun and I have a feeling I am going to have to protect my camera from the mud....

Head Shots!

Thought I would show you something a little different tonight.....These are a couple of head shots of one of my beautiful daughters.  She has been encouraged to submit some pics to a modeling agency and asked if I would do a few head shots that she could send in.  These are just two of them we took - we actually need another shoot to finish up but, I thought I would share these with you.  First, because I think she is beautiful and second to show you another "type" of photography.  I have had a few people ask for this and yes, it is a service I offer.  Sometimes people ask not to have their pics posted on the blog and if that is the case, I will certainly respect their wishes.  But, since this is my daughter......LOL  Love you Heather.....

Brad, Chelsey & Gavin!

A couple weeks ago, I had so much fun taking Brad, Chelsey and Gavin's pics.  As you all know, I love taking photos and when they are family friends, it becomes even more special to share the time with them and capture some special moments in photos that they will have for a lifetime.    Gavin is such a sweetheart and melted my heart in minutes after I met him.   I love his beautiful eyes and he has such a great smile it was just so much fun.

Angela and Pat - Engagement Session

Thought I would share just a couple from one of my sessions today!  Their wedding is coming up fast......they are one of the lucky couples getting married on 9-10-11!  Had a lot of fun with them this afternoon and can't wait till their "big day".  Pat even mentioned a big surprise for the wedding day.  But, I can't spoil it, you will just have to wait for those wedding pics!  Congrats you two!!

Lindsey and Nick's Big Day!

Well, I haven't had a chance to look through all the pics from yesterday's wedding but, I promised the bride and groom I would post a few for them to see before they left on their honeymoon.  Nick and Lindsey are such a sweet couple and I feel so blessed to have been a part of their wedding day.  They both had such nice families and they all made us feel so welcome.  These are just a few of the pics that I randomly selected that I loved.

I wish both of them all the happiness in the world.  Have a safe and wonderful honeymoon!  Enjoy your time together!!!

It Must Be Puppy Love....

Yesterday I had a fun photo shoot with these six playful puppies.  A very good friend of my sister also raises and shows Bernese Mountain Dogs and these are six beautiful puppies I am sure will be winning lots of ribbons and trophies in the future.  It was such a wonderful shoot......although I have to admit a little bittersweet.  We shared lots of laughs, a few tears as we reminisced about Sheila and lots and lots of puppy kisses.  (I LOVE puppy kisses....puppy breath.....puppy love!)

I was so impressed we were able to get all six of these puppies in one shot and we actually did it a few times.  I could tell Kathy is a pro.....(although we did have a few extra hands - thanks Cheyanna, Wayne, Sue and Evan). 

I cannot thank Kathy enough for spending the afternoon with me and allowing me to enjoy these wonderful blessings.  You were such a truly special person in my sister's life and spending time with you and your puppies was such a special time for me.  I look forward to doing it again!

Quick Sneak Peek!

 

Just one quick one from my session tonight.  This family was so much fun and they had four wonderful, energetic kids that had great smiles.  We had fun making silly faces and silly poses and got some great family pics in the process.  

Thanks for a great evening!
