The Emmersons

It's not new for me to take photos of the Emmersons. I love these guys so much, not to mention they have THE most darling children on the planet. Melis asked me to come over and do family photos mostly because she had family in town from Canada.

Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.





The girls...and the boys. :)



We went to the park next. Kids and flowers, you really can't go wrong.







Destiny...





Four generations of women



Meet Krista. Darling girl, SO easy to photograph.





I was photographing a different family member, but turned to my bag and saw her layig on the bench with a book.



And last came Joel. Mister 'wild at heart.'

Weddings

Just wanted to put up some favorites from my June weddings. First is Ashley and Josh. I loved shooting Ashley and Josh, from their engagement photos in October to the wedding in June. Everything and everyone was beautiful, especially the bride. I still can't get over the way Josh looked at Ashley. He always had adoring eyes when he looked her way.

Here are some of my favorites from the day.




































Next is Alicia and Waldy. I worked with Alicia at La Petite Creperie before she got married. (We miss you!!!) I remember her saying that she was going out with this guy named Waldy, then it was getting more serious, and she started ducking behind the bar to answer his phone calls. (No phones allowed while working, haha, clearly we follow that rule!) Then she announced when he had proposed, her eyes were so starry!! We would talk wedding details at work in between getting food and drinks for our tables. I loved seeing the process and getting to be a part of her day.

Here are some of my favorites from the day.


































I'm so excited for all of you and for they new journey that you will be on together.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your day.

Summer...or is it?

I don't know about anywhere else, but in Illinois, it definitely doesn't feel like summer. There have been a few summerish days, but it's been fairly cold. Not something that I've been excited about. None the less, I've been operating in the typical busy summer fashion. Here are some of the things I've been up to.

I went along to swim lessons with my littlest brother, but on the way he got a scrape and did not want to get in the water anymore then his knees.





Two adorable little boys that I photographed, more to come here.







And some good friends of mine from church, the McClelands. The McClelands have three boys, all of whom I love and find adorable, altho they are all bigger then me. Haha.
Family had come into town and they wanted to get all together for some photos, we had fun, of course!















With Grandma.









Sad but true. My server apparently doesn't like me right now, so until we are on friendly terms again no slideshows.
