I’ve never been a big fan of wedding photography… it just seems so tradition and boring, but THIS wedding was different!

Last weekend two very special people to me, tied the knot and became Mr. and Mrs. I could gush about Scott and Jessie all night; they are both so full of laughter and love! It was so exciting to share in their day and even better to be able to capture it for them!

XOXOXO
Congrats Scott and Jessie!
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of photographing two of Waverly’s finest young men. I had so much fun and I can’t wait to share… I hope you love them as much as I do : )
Trevor – Class of 2011


: ) 
Zachary – Class of 2011


and now for my fav image from their session
Thank you Trevor and Zachary, you made my job easy and most of all FUN. Be sure to soak up all the great things that come with being a senior and best wishes to you both!
Due to Harper’s early arrival, we waited till he was seven weeks old to do his session. He kept mom and dad up all night to prepare for his big photo shoot, and boy did it pay off. Harper was so sleepy and content : ) such a sweet little guy!


* this one is my fav from his session *
I will be out of town July 22nd-27th all emails, calls, and orders received during that time will be answered promptly upon my return : ) thank you for your patience!
and because no post is complete without a picture, here is one more from Scout’s session.
Jenny this one will have to hold you over till I get back : )
Oh my goodness, this session did not help my baby girl envy at all! Scout was so adorable and her mommy had the best little outfits for her to model for her one year pictures. Scout won my heart with all her smiles and funny little dances.
And just look at those wonderfully long eyelashes!


*sigh* baby girls are so much fun : )
Staci was a gem to photograph… so gorgeous, so sweet, and so natural in front of the camera : ) the perfect model for sure! 



Aurora came in for her nine months pictures and I’m convinced she is the happiest baby ever : ) she has the best gummy smile and the most adorable open mouth laugh! I can’t believe she is already nine months old!



Introducing Lyrik, just nine days old and already as cute as can be!
You would never believe how tiny this bowl really is, but Lyrik managed to snuggled up perfectly in it.

proud big brother
Ashley, you better keep an eye on these two; they are going to be heart breakers!
