happy halloween!

I will try to post some pictures of our little Halloween cutie but for now, I couldn't miss my chance to post some of these from the past week. There are others but I had to start somewhere!

jennifer and joseph: engaged!

It is Christmas card season and that means lots and lots of family sessions. I love that. But I also really love engagement sessions! We are booking so many weddings for 2009 and it is so great to start getting to know all of our amazing brides and grooms for the upcoming season. Jennifer and Joseph are getting married next June and I am already looking forward to their wedding. It was so much fun to hear their story of how they met--and then met again--and fell in love. They have such a sweet comfort with one another. Also, I have been waiting for the perfect shoot to use this song that I love. This was definitely the one. Enjoy their slideshow here!

and the costume sessions begin!

Sydney

It was a beautiful weekend. I had shoots all day yesterday but was still able to run home between to visit with our family who came to town to help us celebrate Grayben's baptism today. It was great to be surrounded by so many who love us and care for us so well. I continue to count our clients among those who have been so kind to us. Spending time with all of you, your children, your wedding party, your families is constantly amazing to me. Here is a recent shoot with precious Sydney. Seriously, do they get any cuter than this?

they're here!

friends

Taking pictures of people that you love just might be the most fun thing of all. These are our best friends and their amazing daughter.

what season is it anyway?

Call me crazy but I love that you can wear sundresses for your pictures for over half of the year. I know it's the middle of October and it's eighty degrees outside. But I like it. It's going to be cold soon enough and I'll have to find some of those gloves that have the fingers cut out so I can still use my hands to work my camera. If you see me wearing those this winter, feel free to call Stacy and Clinton. Anyway, randomness aside, I loved photographing these sweet sisters in their blue dresses. I love it when people aren't afraid to use a little color! The most important thing is that your pictures represent YOU and your family. I hope I captured the laughter and energy of the Norman family. Also, I should probably thank them publicly for the grace that they showed me the day of our session! If you want the story on that adventure, you'll have to ask them!

Lindsey: bridal

I am so happy that I can finally post these pictures of the gorgeous Lindsey. Lindsey and Vince were married this past Saturday in a beautiful fall-themed wedding full of incredible details. These pictures are from her bridal shoot that we did several weeks ago. She was and is a supermodel in every way. I can't wait to post pictures from their wedding soon! Here is the slideshow from her bridal session.





For these last images, we were trying to recreate a picture that Lindsey had taken as a little girl. She gave it to her dad as a gift the day before the wedding!

times two...

I love twins. I just think they're cool and I'm jealous of people that have them. These past couple of weeks have been filled with twins! I think I've photographed three or four sets (all boy and girl!)! I have to admit that there is something a little...umm...intimidating about knowing you're about to begin a session of twins under the age of two. But these two were awesome. Don't get me wrong...the session wasn't without it's fair share of craziness (helped out by some well-timed snacks) but these two are just so cute. Enjoy the Pattons!

sweet kate...

I cannot believe that Kate is 9 months old! I have been photographing her since she was born and it has flown by. There is something so wonderful about photographing nine month olds...it is one of my very favorite ages. We took these pictures on one of the first cool mornings this fall. It was such a sweet and peaceful time. Kate is a total delight.
