Kristen & Cassidy

Blessed. That's how I'd describe these two! When I met with Kristen & Cassidy for coffee a couple months ago to chat about their upcoming wedding it was so great to hear their story of how they met, fell in love, and how effortlessly their wedding planning was coming together. I always love meeting two people who are truly best friends, that love one another unconditionally.

Kristen & Cassidy, I had such a fun time with you shooting these photos! Thanks for being so easy to be around. I know your wedding day is going to be a lot of fun, and I'm already looking forward to it!

Miss Everly & the Boys

I adore these kids. They are near and dear to our family!
Here are a few more as promised!

I had so much fun photographing my dear friend Mauria's darling daughter, Everly, tonight along with her big brothers, Rowen & Jonas. Everly turns TWO next month and Jonas just turned four last month! Here's just one pic to share tonight. I'll share more soon!

On the way...

My beautiful, no gorgeous, friend Hayley, who I've known since I was an overly energetic, tap dancing, basketball playing 11 year old, will be having a baby girl in the upcoming weeks! I'm so excited for Hayley & Ivan's growing family and I can't wait to get to meet this precious girl! Their son Liam will love having a best friend in his little sister, and I know he'll be a great big brother!

Hayley looks amazing - what an easy subject to photograph, huh?! I love the feel of these photos.


















Love you guys, and love your family.

Refreshed...

Last weekend was refreshing and inspiring in every way. I got to spend three nights at the beach with 3 wonderful photographer friends. We girls talked, cooked, laughed SO hard, shared information and ideas, tried new camera tricks, played with old film cameras, explored an old lighthouse, talked about our precious husbands and children and balancing that with businesses, soaked up sunshine and salt air, ate out, slept in... simply wonderful.

And what a blessing these girls are. Wisdom, soulfulness, and joy all wrapped in friendship! Amber, Stephanie & Jamie, I'm already looking forward to the next time we're all together.














Amber & Stephanie were so, so nice to take some updated shots of Jamie and me for our websites!

I'm pretty sure I was really more like this the whole time they were trying to photograph me.




Our last evening there we spent down on the beach shooting until the sun went down. Spectacular. I shot these 3 with my iphone/instagram and loved how they turned out:



And a huge THANK YOU to Dad & Janet for blessing us with the use of your beautiful beach house! If anyone out there is looking to get away to the beach, The Cornelius House is my favorite place to stay! :) Jamie took these two beautiful photos of the house. Thanks Jamie!
