Jennifer + Luke {engagement preview}

Just a quick sneak peak of this cute couple I got to work with this weekend! I love it when a session flies by because we are all laughing and enjoying ourselves. This was one of those... I can't wait for their beautiful harvest wedding! Thanks Jen and Luke, it was a fun time! I'll get more of these up shortly!

Just a peek...

... and much much more to come!

and the winner is...

Gina! Yay! I'll have you know it was very scientific... I folded up 17 little paper strips with each of your names on them and put them into a bowl. My husband held my 14 month old and he picked a paper out of the pile and handed it to me. He thought it was a fun game! :)

Thanks to all of you for your nice comments, I'm glad you all like the new site and blog as much as I do!

New Website + Give Away!!

I feel like I need a drum roll....



Ta-Da! So by now you've probably seen the new look of the blog, and now, finally, here is the new website. I'm so excited about it!

So excited, in fact, that I'm feeling like celebrating with a great prize for someone out there! I will be giving away a free session (individual child session, family session, newborn session, or engagement session) the winner can choose it.

All you have to do to enter is leave me a shout out in the comments. Tell me if you like my new logo, say "hello", say nothing at all, whatever. Just leave your name if that's all you want to do. I'll be doing a drawing Monday morning!

Also, a big shout out and "Thank You" to Carly of Playful Pickles Designs for the hours and hours of hard work with the blog and logo design. I'm so happy with how it all turned out, she is seriously amazing! (and patient!)

Baby Gage... all grown up!

Remember this tiny guy? Well, he is now 6 months old, and I can't even tell you how THRILLED I was to see him and his cute family again. I think this may have been one of my very favorite sessions of late. I just can't even believe how adorable this little guy is, and isn't his mama so beautiful? I want her hair! :) I love repeats, I feel like I get to know my clients as I see them and watch their little families grow! Thanks, {L} Family! You are seriously too cute for words! p.s. like the new look? This is phase one of my new logo implementation... phase two (full-on website remodel) should be ready for lookie-loo's within the next week probably!

{O} Family...huge post!

{O} My gooodness! This cute family are friends from our old neighborhood, who moved out of state. It was so fun to see them again! I can't even tell you how much I love your baby, Jess. Seriously... I want her! Your family is so cute and it was so fun to see you guys again. I apologize in advance for posting so many of you, but you took some really beautiful portraits, you are so cute!

Beautiful May...

I absolutely loved and enjoyed the opportunity to photograph May, this gorgeous bride. Isn't she lovely? So photogenic, and just genuinely nice. The lighting was just divine and her dress could have been made just for her, so perfect! The big day is coming up soon, and they're going to be so happy! Fiance Jon came along and was so attentive and sweet toward her, that makes me happy! Thanks so much May, you are so beautiful, and I'm looking forward to your happy day! Now it's back to work for me, I've got more sessions to edit and post!
