Blue Eyes | Blue Door

A little over a month ago I photographed this cute little man in front of one of my favorite doors. His personality just shines through in these images and crack me up! I was honored to photograph him again as we had done some images last year when he was just two months old with his sisters as well. They are an adorable family and come from a little over an hour away! Thank you S family!

Here is the final product of all his cuteness on a 20x20 Metallic Standout Board! It looks so cute!

Fun watching "Mr. A" growing up!

As I have said many times before it is always fun to watch these little ones grow! This somewhat sober baby has turned into quite the little performer in front of the camera and is talking up a storm! I met him first when he was about 5 months old and I have been able to watch him grow up a little each year and now he is two!

Here is Mr. A!!!!

Have a Blessed 4th of July!

Last week, I photographed this sweet baby girl with her proud daddy. Since he is in the military, we though it was fitting for him to wear one of his uniforms and hold his baby girl after all he is helping keep his daughters future free and ours as well!

Rachel and Pat's Wedding

About a month ago I had the pleasure of doing Rachel and Pat's wedding. They were a really fun couple and had a beautiful day for their wedding. Plus we were able to get some really fun images....in fact I had a few too many favorites so I decided to attempt a slideshow on the website. This is my first one so it is not perfect but it will give you a little idea of how great their day was and all th beautiful ideas that Rachel put into their day!

Great pictures! Simply Stunning

For Daddy's office

Their mommy called me in April wanting to do a little surprise for her husbands office for father's day. The children were sworn to not to tell and they did not so Daddy was totally surprised with his father's day gifts.
Since these images that were framed individually were to be hanging on his wall at his office, where he is an orthopedic surgeon, we decided that doing something a little bit fun. Hence, the images of the hands and knees!
Keller I love the fact that Miss A's socks are still on because it is just so much her personality to be a little different than the others.

Then these two bothers were just being too fun together so we decided that we must do something with all of these silly images together!

Enjoy! More to come!
