Weddings of 2012
2012 was a great year for weddings! I learned so much and feel I grew as a photographer more than I could have dreamed!
I am so grateful and honored to have photographed these big days! The couples trusted me to capture the irreplaceable moments of one of the most important days of their lives - it feels incredible!
Weddings are a crazy day and while the bride and groom are bustling about filled with jitters and trying to keep track of the caterer, the flowers, the decor, the guests - I am going about photographing each and every second. Being the photographer is a big responsibility and a lot of fun!
Even though the day can be overwhelming, the bride and groom are always beaming with excitement and love for each other and it is wonderful to be behind my camera snapping each kiss, smile and joyful tear.
Thank you to the newly weds of 2012 that put this day in my hands to preserve and congratulations to the soon to be newly weds of 2013 considering me for their big day.
As The Beatles said so perfectly: "All we need is love".

Wee Ones
Who doesn't love a photo of their wee ones doing what they do best? - being adorable!
Photographing children can be a challenge, but I love that about it. I like to see who they really are and get that in front of my camera so their parents can hold on to those moments for a lifetime.
If I can capture their energy, curiosity, shyness, sweetness, and even their naughty streak, then I feel I am doing my job. Posed photos are nice, but I really feel my style is more for catching real smile, real personalities and real actions.
Kids are so naturally photogenic, no matter what they are doing. You just have to catch them first!

Family Portraits - Yes Please!
As I have mentioned before, I LOVE taking family photos! There is something so rewarding about capturing the moment in time for them to hold onto forever. And, they are always fun, accompanied by lots of laughter and silliness.
This is a small grouping of a few families I had the pleasure of photographing this last year, and each one had something different, but all had lots of love!
Have a look at the March special for family photos and get in on it before time runs out!

{n} A family full of love and laughter
Photographing families is so rewarding because I get to capture moments that will be part of their history forever. I get to make photos for them to cherish and share for decades and generations to come.
But, enough of the mush. These folks crack me up! We had a great time at their family farm, where they have Scottish Highland cattle, a barn mural that amazes and back drops galore for this photographer to take advantage of!
Diane, Dale, Monica and Chris - you guys rock!

Miss Amarah
This little lady is Amarah and she was such a trooper getting her photo taken, even though there was a strong breeze off and on.
This session was also my first attempt at setting up and using a mini-scene.
I loved planning it and I LOVED photographing it!
The dress she is in (white with dainty flowers) was actually her mother's dress when she was the same age as Amarah is in these photos!
She was excited to use it because she had photos taken of her when she was in it!
She is a beautiful baby and I was so glad to get to photograph her!
Enjoy!

Waiting for Hudson
This is my beautiful cousin and her husband, who are anxiously awaiting their first child - Hudson.
We began their session in their bedroom, then popped over to a local park. It had been snowing like crazy all day (so fun to have snow photos!) and then the sun came out while we were out!
We got so lucky!
Every woman has insecurities, and pregnant women are no different.
But I say that all women are beautiful and that being pregnant is always ALWAYS a beautiful thing.
Maternity photos might be my favorite type of session.
Why?
Because the people in these photos are always happy and
to capture happiness and true joy in a photo just lights up my heart and soul.
Please enjoy!
xoxo
