Kevin & Nicole :: Save the Date!

Kevin, Nicole and I trooped out in the cold on Sunday to take just a few photos.  Although she looked stunning in her cream dress and he, dashing, in his suspenders, we're holding out for those gorgeous spring colors for a full blown engagement session. Here are just a few. Nicole even had a save-the-date banner made. So cute! 

I'm super excited for our shoot in the spring and of course for 06.01.12!

O'Brien :: Family

Roxannes excitement was so contagious! Even over our facebook messaging, I thought she was going to explode with excitement over doing a family photo shoot.  We met up on a beautifully sunny day and just had fun taking photos. I loved seeing this tight-knit family interact with each other.  The love they had for each other and for being together was obvious.  Thank you O'Brien family for inviting me to capture your unique family!! Have a great viewing party! :)


This was quite accurate, catching this little guy on the run! Snack break.

Melissa :: Life

Melissa. Or Melis, that's what I call her.  She's one of my bestest of best friends. Yes, bestest is a word in my book, although spell-check doesn't seem to think so.  This girl knows me, this girl gets me and vise versa. When I think of our friendship, I think of Anne and Diana, not just because she likes that series, but because we function out of a 'kindred spirit' type relationship.  I guess that can happen after knowing each other for 15 years! Melis, thank you for knowing me, supporting me and loving me even when I didn't deserve it.  You mean the world to me.  Also, thank you for not killing me on the photo shoot, I know we took 7,862 but I just couldn't stop!! :)

I returned for visiting Melis in Kentucky, she moved there four years ago, much too long in my good opinion. Even though it's been a significant amount of time, our friendship is as strong as ever, something i'm ever thankful for.  I couldn't wait to get her in front of the camera and we had a fabulous shoot! I met her friend Nikkie while I was visiting and she was able to come along also.  Nikkies photos to come soon!

Gorgeous!!! Here comes the sun... Love you forever lady.
