Indian Summer with Kids

I took complete advantage of the indian summer we had the past week and a half. It was perfection! Colors were spectacular and the temperature around 75 degrees on average. Ummmm.... yes please! Can we schedule this again for next year Mother Nature??? In all my busyness, I managed to squeeze in a session with my sister and her family. There is no lacking personality in this group of five. That is for sure. I like it though because it makes pictures with personality. The warmth has left and the cold wet days have resumed while we call get prepped and ready for Halloween and the whirlwind of other holidays that almost immediately follow. I'm working desperately to keep up with the whole three posts a week vow and although it could be worse, I feel as though I could drop the ball any day now. Back to my sister and her crazy (in the best way possible) little family. I've blogged about them before, but I cannot believe how big the kids are getting. Life goes by far too quickly.

Family Ties

Nothing is much worse that being unable to get up and do things. I'm a doer. Always been a doer. But alas, I'm having some adverse side effects from my spinal tap yesterday, so I'm stuck on the couch. Thankfully, I have the laptop and I have been able to at least play some catch-up on work. Like editing the photos that I did for my Aunt and her family :) I still get just as giddy knowing I'm going to see family now as I did when I was a kid. It is even better now because I get to see them and take their pictures. How fun is that?! Super fun! The weather was simply amazing and the cider mill was picturesque (lucky for me - eh?). Not to mention on the hiking trail down by the river there was a man playing his fiddle. I included a picture, but I didn't want to interupt him to get a picture from the front. I cannot say enough about my family and how fun they are. Family is right under God in my list of how I prioritize my life, so it means so much to me that they support me in everything I do. Love you all! I hope you enjoy your pictures!

Rachelle and D.J. Married!

Weather? Unseasonably warm and beautiful. Couple? Stunning. Location? Breathtaking. Bragging to all the other photographers that have to deal with less-than-ideal wedding weather in other parts of the country this weekend? Yeah. Just a bit :) I had such a great time last night capturing Rachelle and D.J.'s wedding. They're a really sweet couple that surrounds themselves with people that are just as wonderful. I may or may not have fallen out of Rachelle's lifted pick-up truck looking for the marriage license, but we're not going to talk about that... Thank you, thank you, thank you to both Rachelle and D.J. I hope I never start taking for granted the privilege that I have coming into these moments in people's lives. Blessings on your wedding and your future!

Chris & Alicia Married!

Nothing thrills me much more than when I get the opportunity to hang out at weddings and take pictures of wonderful people. Even better than that? Hanging out at a wedding of a childhood friend and taking pictures of her and her wonderful new husband. Seriously? Don't I have the most rad job ever?! I know. I do. And it is an awesome blessing that God allows me to be able to participate in the most incredible moments of people's lives. So, without further ado, I present to you Chris and Alicia's fall inspired wedding day. Gorgeous!!!!














Allow me to explain the next few pictures. Chris's mom is a 2nd grade teacher and to practice writing sentences, she had the kids write wedding advice to Chris and Alicia. Some had you laughing and others almost in tears. I love their perspective on marriage!






Thank you to Chris and Alicia for allowing me the opportunity to be such a huge part of their special day!

Keep smiling!
