Parker {14 days}

Mr. Parker had little interest in sleeping for his session. His mom and I put in a little hard work and he finally fell asleep. That is, after I demonstrated my ninja-like reflexes to avoid being peed on.:-)Photographing newborns is always an adventure!

Megan + Tyson {married}

I had the great pleasure of photographing my friend Megan’s wedding this year.  I love capturing the weddings of all my couples, but there is just something extra special when it’s a friend.  I’ve known Megan about six years and I remember when she first started dating Tyson.  Actually, I think it was around the same time I met my husband, Chris.

I started Megan + Tyson’s wedding day at the salon as all the girls prepared for the day.  I love starting at the salon – it lets me really cover the FULL day from start to finish!


All smiles!


I just love the calm look on her face as all her bridesmaids put on the finishing touches.


He makes her smile so big!:-)

Kristen + Stephen {05.07.2011}

I met up with Kristen and her bridesmaids at the salon. I just adore the getting ready process at weddings!  It’s really one of my favorite portions of the day to capture!  I love watching the bride’s look come together and watch as her nerves start to get the best of her.  Even though it was storming during at this point in the day, Kristen seemed cool, calm and collected all morning.  However, she seemed to get just a bit jittery once the veil was in place.  After finishing up at the salon, we all headed to the church to get the girls ready.  During this time, the rain let up and the sun started shining.  I crossed my fingers and hoped that the weather would hold out until after we completed all the photos outside after the ceremony.  It must’ve worked because we had gorgeous weather after the ceremony.  Stephen and Kristen had a beautiful wedding on a beautiful day.  Congrats to you both!  I hope you enjoyed the Dominican Republic!
