Matt and Madison :: Just Becasue

Matt and I were finishing up headshots today and he asked if it would be ok if Madison came along and jumped in some of the shots. Of course! I'm glad I said yes, because at the end of the shoot they said they hadn't had any photos done since they're wedding. 5? 6? years ago? It was definitely time! Since it felt like the Arctic outside today, we kept it in doors. Love it! A great mini shoot!

Scott and Tina :: Married

My last wedding of the year and i'm so very happy it was with this couple. Comfortable. Tender. Safe. Loved. Married.

Nate and Tanya :: Married!

I feel so blessed. What a wonderful summer/year I've had. I've had the opportunity to travel to Germany and Italy. I've made many new friends. I've worked with wonderful families, brides, grooms, kids and seniors. I've even been able to add product photography to my portfolio. :) I have the memories of my trip in my mind, all the yummy food that I ate, new friends that I've made and new things I've experienced. I even have made some life decisions that will take myself and the business to some warmer climates. :) How on earth could I communicate so much goodness all in one post?? I'll come back to the present and leave you with a sweet glowing bride from yesterday.

Alice Scott

Oh. My. Goodness. It's been quite a while since i've even thought about the blog much less written or posted photos. However, I am still alive and well, and I hope everyone is the same. :) So well that I am headed to Europe in one week. EUROPE BABY!!! Germany and Italy, here I come! I can't wait to get there and snap away! Watch for photos to come. (on the Facebook page also).

To the point of this particular post. I would like to offer a congratulations to Alice Scott for celebrating her 90 birthday (which is actually tomorrow, she told me). I had the honor of documenting this joyous occasion this past Saturday. It was an afternoon full of family, hugs and laughter. With about 40 family members in attendance (and that wasn't nearly everyone) we had a full house. It was such a pleasure to see family having a good time together and celebrating their beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother! Alice is a sweet woman who clearly adores her family. She had a smile, a soft word and a warm hug for everyone. Most of my photos of her captured her look of contentment as she watched everyone interact together. Alice, dear, I hope I will leave a beautiful legacy, such as you have done.

Ryder :: Newbie

I have to admit, I was a nervous to do a session with little Ryder. I had never done a newborn before and I was slightly scared that he would not like me and decide to cry the whole time! However, that was not the case, he slept through the session and photographed like a pro. I was so in love with him when I was finished I held back from sneaking him home with me in my photo bag! I held back from posting every darling photo, so here are just a few. Enjoy his sweet little face. Congratulations you two. I am trilled for you as you start out this new journey as parents! I can't wait for the next session!
