speed engagement




Well, the poor guy DID NOT want his photo taken, but we coaxed a few smiles out of him. ;) We tortured him for 20min & let him be free...I hope that he has forgiven me. :)I can't believe that this bride is going to be a bride! I remember her in her young teenage years. It's crazy that it's now her turn to get married!

Elijah & Kolly


















I LOVE these two! This was THE most fun engagement session EVER! So in love & so fun! Not inhibited...TOTALLY goofy! Seriously, almost make you pee in your pants FUNNY! lol. I posted some on myfacebook, but wanted to share a few here too.....

bittersweet

































Is what our summer has been! Between trips, swim lessons, horse lessons & sessions, the summer has flown by! I will start with two things that have been dear to my heart lately...both at opposite ends of the spectrum. One is a venture that I've been wanting to start for a couple of years & just never found the time to pursue it. Through some doors "randomly" opening, I have been able to fulfill a portion of my vision for boudoir photography. Tasteful, classy, elegant, beautiful....sessions for women. In the pricing for each session, I am including a
5x5 keepsake album. Email me if you are interested in seeing the rest of the photos from this session. I am being very selective, due to the nature of the photos. There is no nudity, just implied. I am accepting appointments for the fall/winter season. The albums would make great gifts for the man in your life. Portrait Parties are also available for up to 4 women...a discount will be given for a group of 3 or 4.
My friend, Shae & I were able to share in a bittersweet day. This couple has been together for years, upon receiving the news that Sid has a few weeks, to a few months to live, she & Jim decided to symbolize their commitment to each other. It was a very quaint ceremony. It was the most beautiful ceremony that I have ever been asked to document. There was none of the usual wedding chaos. Every one in attendance was acutely aware of the importance of this event. To celebrate Sids life. Her heritage. Her love for her companion. Her love for her friends & family. It was a blessing to see that beauty is in love & relationships....
