Bridal Portraits of Jen with Cotton

I had the pleasure of taking Jennifer's engagement and wedding photos just earlier this year. I reached out to her last week to see if she would be interested in some Bridal shots and she was so excited to put her dress on again! I can't blame her, I wore my dress for my 1st Wedding Anniversary this past September.

I have been working on my composition and editing, but honestly Jen makes her hard to worry about either of those. She is such a natural beauty and she looks so graceful and at peace in each of her portraits. I love these images. I'm so glad she took the time to let me see what I could capture for her.

All of these shots were taken in less than an hours time. We were able to have some fun, catch up, and capture pictures I will cherish in my portfolio for a long time.

As I was finishing up, Jen asked if I would take pictures of her with Cotton again... OF COURSE! Let's be honest, I was hoping she wouldn't ask.. I love horses and want to be around them whenever I can. So, Jen can call me and ask anytime to come take pictures of her and Cotton and I will be there. Plus I wore my boots so I was very prepared to get every image this farm girl wanted.

I'm thrilled I chose her to be one of my brides for my portfolio and I get to give her these extra images to love and cherish.

Ezra's Toy Story Themed Birthday Shoot

This has to be one of the top cutest sessions I've done so far. Ezra loves Toy Story, but in his words, he calls the movies "Story Books." (Same thing, ha!) Ezra immediately laid out all of his "friends" and told me how excited he was to take pictures with them. At the beginning of the shoot I would get about 3 pictures in and he would ask to see what I captured. His excitement shows in each picture. What a wonderful spirit he is. I am so happy Dominique chose me to capture these precious moments.

Isabella's Harry Potter Themed Baby Shower at The Tea Kettle Cafe

I was lucky enough to be picked from a Facebook post by Isabella to be her photographer for this special event. We had never met, but she trusted a few referral sources and reviewed my work online. This was my first Baby Shower to be a part of, but I knew I could make some very special memories for her. Immediately upon arriving, I could see this was a special theme for a special little girl. The line, "It's MimOsa not Mimosa" came to mind, which was perfect for this brunch. You could tell Isabella's bestie put a lot of thought and detail into making the tiniest of details important. It's had to imagine a Harry Potter Tea Part Baby Shower, UNTIL you've been to one.. or you are reading this.. and I think they nailed it. The shower went very smooth. Then transitions from the food set up, baby games, presents, and cake were all very seamless. The two hosts from The Tea Kettle Cafe staff were wonderful with keeping everyone en...

Monica's Maternity Session - Natural light, Studio, & Milk Bath

I can not say enough about how happy I am about this session! Monica and I used to work together years and years ago and Willie's Grill & Icehouse when I was maybe 17 years old (?). I am now 30! We have been Facebook friends all of these years, occasionally "liking" something the other person posted, but when she recently made a post about expecting soon, I reached out to inform her of my Maternity Special I have going on this month. Clearly, she agreed and this past Tuesday we made Baby Bump Magic! We stared in one of my rooms upstairs in my home. She wanted some natural light photos with the light coming in through the windows. A nice light and dreamy look with the lace outfit she brought. We then moved downstairs to the garage where I set up my studio. The studio set up can be a little scary if you are not sure how the lighting and background will come out. So after taking a few shots and showing her what I was capturing, her words were ...
