Eeeeeeeeeverybody and their momma will tell you about how time flies when you have children, and to cherish the moments and phases, as they’ll be over before you know it.  Well, everybody and their mommas know what’s up! They hit the nail on the head with that one. Meanwhile, we’re ‘yeah, yeah’ing’ them with a polite smile like ‘ooooookay, time is time!’……. then BAM!!
Your tiny little bubby is ONE YEAR old!

Ok, not my bubby… mine are nearly 15 and 8 though, so I can relate to the flying of time and cherishing of moments.

I digress.

This little man seemed to have been such a tiny little bub just a short, short time ago….

Remember?!?!
Well he’s been busy growing, and while he’s just as adorable, he’s quite not as sleepy! ;)

♥

This little dude has been looooooong overdue for his Blog debut!
I think my blogging skills went into hibernation this winter!

Anyway, this little guy was determined, no matter how many feedings, blankets, despite any tricks we had up our sleeves, or how long we were prepared to wait….to stay awake.
{Insert Nemo’s Dad, Marlin, yelling to Dori, “Stay awake, stay awake! Stay a-waaaaaaake!”}
There was company, they were looking at him… he knew it, and he was making sure he didn’t miss out on a thing!

We were lucky to capture him dozing a few times, but really, I was happy either way, as he had the most adorable expressions, and was just a handsome little bub!

You’ll agree.

Every time.
Every! Time!
I get a tiny little precious bundle in my arms, and I just don’t want to leave! Perhaps I’m in the wrong business?! Maybe I should Nanny?! Bring on the snuggles!!

Ohhhh you guys, seriously though! Baby Wes is just this precious little peanut! You can’t help but fall in love with his perfect little face, little blonde lashes, pouty little lip… those little ears and feet… that sleepy smile……gahhhh!!

It was love at first sight!

♥

See for yourself.
Guard your hearts ladies & gents…. you’ve been warned!

Just perfect.

Good job Mom & Dad!
He’s a keeper!

There’s not a single infant or infant session that i don’t LOVE… I can admit that!

I’m just a sucker for those bebes and I’m SO excited when I hear that one of my Bride’s is having one!

Well this little bundle is certainly NO exception!!
She just melts my heart, and I know that she’ll melt yours too!

The little dimples, pouty lip, itty bitty feet, squishy cheeks….

Heart melted! ♥

These guys are absolutely adorable…
There’s really not much more to say than that…

Well besides, “you’re welcome”, because you’re day has now been made better!

Tell me you didn’t smile?!

See?!

The other night night I awoke to a text message.

No emergency… my brother in-law had proposed, a day earlier than he’d planned, to his girlfriend Ashley.

(& she said YES! Phew!)

I sent back a dreary, happy, congratulations reply and went back to bed laughing about how he couldn’t wait one more day, and wondering about all the hints he’d likely dropped that had her on to him.

The next day proved to be a beautiful, sunny one, and as I laughed to myself about all this extra time they’d have on their hands, (since he’d proposed a night earlier than planned) I thought… maybe I can get them out for some engagement photos?!

That was a pretty great idea.

It was cold, but Ryan and Ashley are a fun and funny couple, and both were still in that super happy, just engaged, omg zone… so it was a really good time. I honestly can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard…on the ground…in the road.

♥

Yep.

Congrats again, you two! ♥

I’m loving the change I’ve made this year to switch my focus toward Weddings. It’s been amazing being able to focus my time and energy capturing such a momentous day in someone’s life. Quite often, however, those’s someone’s decide to expand their family and create a little one of their own. So what do I do when I get a call to photograph their new baby?

Well I do it! Duh.

Some rules were meant to be broken! If my own rule keeps me from getting to capture (& hold and snuggle) a new and adorable little baby, not to mention capture another momentous event in these someone’s lives…. well then that rule has got to go!

So here is the quite adorable Olivia:

SO worth a rule change! Right?!

So we know I love babies…. I get that “empty arm syndrome” or whatever, whenever they’re near!!

Now picture this: TWIN. BABY. BOYS.

Yayyyy me!

I was so happy to get this referral (Thanks Rich!) and to be able to photograph these two!

At four months, they weren’t quite sitting on their own, and were sometimes a little reluctant with the smiles… and while there were some places in the house, and an outfit we didn’t get to, I almost left feeling like, “did I get what we wanted?”

There’s always that point when babies, kids… sometimes grownups, are just done. The boys had done a great job and were super patient with me… I just had to go with my gut that what we had was IT.

Wait for it…..

♥          ♥          ♥

HELLO!!
That is absolutely IT!!
How adorable are they?!

♥

This is how it started….

A lot of good ol Pinterest and a recreated vision for Save the Dates, that suited Dan and Jenna just perfectly.

It was like…. they had me at “Hello”.

Seriously though… I couldn’t wait to share in Dan and Jenna’s  Wedding Day, and was so excited to be able to capture it all for them!

♥

As expected, the day was filled with many beautiful and thoughtful details, as well as lots of fun, loving, laughing, silly people. We all know that I love the thought in the details, but truly, it’s being surrounded by great people that really makes the day so special and memorable.

Jenna, of course, was not only a stunningly beautiful bride, but was full of laughs and smiles (& maybe a few monkey noises….) throughout the day. There were some teary moments, though happy tears brought on by a thoughtful husband-to-be, seemed perfectly acceptable to all who watched.

(and phoned their husbands to take note of it!)

Then there was this…. this look when he saw her… the look that I live for!

Good job Dan!

After the “I do’s” the party was officially started!

There was dancing, and a few toasts to kick off the night… not to pick favorites, but one was a rap soo…. well i’m picking favorites!

I was so glad to have the ok ahead of time to snatch these two off the dance floor to capture them alone outside before the sun went down!

Dan & Jenna, your Wedding Day was all that Jenna Pinned it to be!

♥

Jokes aside, it really was beautiful, full of smiles and laughter, and a really great reflection of who you are together, and the love you have for each other.

Congratulations!

The weekend’s storm left such a beautiful, snowy, tree covered backdrop for Michael & Tara’s engagement session. The sun was up, the skies were clear, and Tara’s Aunt’s home had some amazing photo opportunities inside as well.

Nothing like the perfect set up to get the day off to a great start!

I’m so pleased to have been able to get such great images of these two! We had so much to work with indoors, but I’m glad we didn’t stop there! Thanks for trusting me & trudging through the snow, guys!

Enjoy your sneak peek! Your Gallery will be ready soon!
