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.

Wimmer :: Family

It's a bit unreal. What? How fast time is going? That it's almost Christmas?? How long it's been since I've posted??? Yes, yes, all those things, but i'm thinking specifically about this girl named, Amy. See, Amy and I go way back. I'm talking, going to summer camp together at 14, way back. I'm not quite sure what happened and I don't remember all of life's stops along the way, but I do remember when she told me she met a guy, and he's kinda cute and I kinda like him, then she said, "We're dating" then, "I love him and he proposed!!" I even had the honor of standing up with Amy in her wedding. I'm not quite sure when growing up happened. One day we were in my house talking about babies, and for her and Alex, having one was a ways off. "He is right in the thick of law school and I want to stay home when I have a baby. No, not quite yet." Little did we know she was pregnant right then and there!! Then comes the pregnancy test and the baby shower. Ahh! Where is the time going?? Then, one precious day in the fall, little Scarlet Gray was born. I couldn't wait to meet her. She was so tiny, sweet and with long fingers that told me she will be as tall as her mama. Well, that was a year ago and now Scarlet is one. I took the Wimmer family out for a shoot one Sunday morning and here are the sweet results.
P.S. Photos to come of Scarlet's birthday party!


Amy I feel privileged to be walking life with you and now your family. Love you girl!

McGinley :: Family

Please meet the McGinleys. They are loving, genuine, kind-hearted and as it happens, each one more wackier they the other! They have been dear friends to me and my family for...i'm not quite sure how many years. I was pondering all the memories that we've shared, camping, bonfires, laughing, games, filming awesome, yet ridiculous, videos, laughing, meals, extreme spoons and yes, more ridiculous-i-can't-breathe-i'm-laughing-so-hard-laughing! Uncle Marty and Auntie Katie, I can't tell you how much I cherish your friendship and how blessed I am having your support and prayers through the years. My cousins! Meghan, Kelsey, Rachel and Jenna, you are all so beautiful I can't even stand it! I love laughing with you and being ridiculous with you. You are treasures. See the one on the end? That's Will. He's a beloved add on. He and Meghan married this past September. I believe he's adjusted quite well to so many sisters-in-law. They can get kind of silly, but he deals quite well. :) Oh, how wonderful it is. Meghan. Kelsey. Rachel. Jenna. I couldn't get over how FANTASTIC the lighting was that evening! I'll leave you with this photo of them showing their true colors.

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.
