Ben - One Year

I was really excited about doing a cake smash photo shoot, especially with Ben and his mom. She made the little banner, the cake, got matching shorts, hat, and suspenders to boot! It sure makes it fun when the client is so engaged, not to mention has good taste!

We were rolling around, so of course I ended up with sugary goo all over myself, yet somehow I managed to hang my jeans back up when I got home. Lo and behold, I was out and about one day only to look down and realize I had cake frosting on my pants. It made me chuckle.

Joe & Michelle - Wedding

One of my favorite things about shooting weddings is that I don't have to do it alone! A fellow photographer, turned friend, Devon, of Devon Michelle Photography has graciously taken me under her wing and lets me tag along while she does all of the hard work (coordinating with bride & groom, scheduling all the pictures, planning how the shoot will go, endless hours of editing, and more follow up with the bride & groom).

So while she was working hard, I snuck around and took a few shots like these.

Needless to say, the bride was gorgeous and I get teary every time they take those sacred vows. It is such an honor to participate in such a significant ceremony and silently lift them up in prayer for their future together.

Levi - Newborn

I cannot get enough of working with these tiny, moldable, soft babies. I probably drive the parents crazy because I just want to hold them and take pictures all day! I imagine they're thinking, "Enough already, I'm tired!" because after I have my fun they have to feed and change the baby! haha.

Needless to say I had a great time shooting with little Levi and his mom and dad. They are the most adorable young couple and I am SO glad the Lord blessed them with this little one. He will be fortunate to have such loving and capable parents. I hope you enjoy the photos!

Ben - 6 months

I had SO much fun shooting with Ben and his adorable mom, Kristen, while dad is deployed. I don't know when the last time was I met such a sweet, yet unbelievably strong person! She was such a joy to work with and I love how their pics turned out.

He kept doing this crazy thing where he would float on his belly, lifting up his arms and legs, like he was practicing a yoga move. So cute!

My friend who moved last month left this rusty car with me and I was so excited that we were fortunate to take advantage of it for the photoshoot with little Ben.

Grace - 6 months

Wow, time flies! I knew we were going to do Grace's 6 month pictures, but when Meghan called me to set it up I couldn't believe it was already time. I was so excited to work with these two again. They are both so sweet and willing to endure much, including trudging through tall grass where Meghan ran into a garder snake, which happen to seriously creep her out. Sorry, Meghan!! You are a real trooper!



Elias - Newborn

I don't think a mom could have made a shoot any easier. She is a pro with 4 other kids and had this thing down! The room was warm and toasty, hats and blankets galore, and baby Elias was well fed. Needless to say I had so much fun just shooting this adorable, little, hunk!! Only 7 days old in these pics he already had some good bulk to him :) Love it! I hope you do, too.

Randol Kids

It's hard for me not to be biased because these beauties are my nieces and nephew, but look at how darling they are! I was so glad when their mom asked me to take their pics to surprise their dad for his birthday. I hope he enjoys the photos!
