The Rutter Family

I am soooooooo behind with my blogging, again, so first of all I have to thank this family for being so patient while waiting to see these!!! These guys were so great and the dogs were equally great!!! Such an easygoing family full of ideas and willing to play and have fun! We did this photoshoot in the backyard of their home - a very special place to them as they really built the area themselves into the beautiful space it is today! It was just perfect for a photo session! Thanks for a great shoot you guys… and Megan… thank you especially for all you went through that day ;)

I survived photographing a photographer’s wedding!!! Mark & Stephanie… hitched!!!

When I got the call to do this wedding, I was excited that Mark was getting married, but, admittedly scared to death!!! This was going to be a challenge!!! Most couples judge an image based on whether they like it overall, but I knew Mark had a much more talented and critical eye. So, I accepted the “challenge” and I’m so glad I did! Mark and Stephanie are such an amazing couple! They are fun and playful and their wedding was truly unique!!! Full of fun and humor and everything that reflects them as people and as a couple. Stephanie was stunning and had just the best shoes ever! I had so so so much fun!!! Hopefully Mark’s happy with what I caught for him! And, if not, Mark, you set most of these up (because I kinda made you) so I take no credit! Congrats you guys! And thanks for asking me! I’d do it all over again!

Kristie and Colin… the e-session

I was so excited when I met this couple - Colin is into rodeo and they both have a love for horses… so… that meant the photos were going to have a “ranch” feel to them - something I’ve always wanted to do!!! And to make it even more perfect - the included 2 handsome horses… and a cowboy hat! Yay!!! Already a stunning couple, they really shone in the session - absolutely beautiful inside and out! Thanks for inviting me to do this! And Colin… a special thank-you for all of your patience… the camera loved you! Congrats on your engagement!

McTaggart Family

So this family is part of my extended family, and have been modeling for me for a few years now. Their sessions are always fun and unique, but this year, we all challenged ourselves with a really unique location! When Dawn asked me if I had any cool new locations in mind for their family session this year, I had some homework to do! I mentioned in passing an industrial location and she seemed interested, so I found one! This was WAY outside my box but it was so fun, and I can honestly say I’ve never done anything like it! They were up for anything and we did it!!! You guys absolutely rocked this one - as you always do ;)

Bullivant Family

I was lucky enough to do family photos for this family last year when the little one was just a few weeks old! They’ve grown so much in a few short months - the “baby” is now almost walking and the young man has grown, like, 3 feet!!!!! It was a fun session (as was last years) with an aspiring model and a future photographer in the group! I can’t take credit for all the ideas here - there was a lot of input! Thanks for the all the creative help guys, and congrats again on such a wonderful family! I hope I get to continue to watch you all grow as the years go on!

The wedding of Tom & Michelle

I got an email last Tuesday from a bride who needed a photographer for a Saturday evening wedding! I’ve never done a wedding with such short notice, but it worked about wonderfully!!! We planned it over a quick meeting on Wednesday morning, and pulled it all together! I’m so glad too… this couple was so sweet and the wedding was fantastic! It was small, elegant, intimate, and had a really cool 20’s theme! Congratulations Tom and Michelle! Thanks for letting me capture your wedding!

Fun big group, and 2 super cute babies!

Last week I had a chance to photograph the family of a former client of mine! It was such a pleasure to see her again and meet the “in-laws!”

They were a great group, and to make it even better… two adorable little babies were part of it! I’m such a sucker for cute little ones!!
