5 more days!!!

Due to a surgery and tight work schedule we just got to photograph this engagement session and in 5 quick days we'll be down in the Keys to shoot the wedding of these two. I don't know what it is about A, but I just love her -- she is sweet and honest and so unassuming -- and feels like someone I've been friends with forever! May all the happiness in the world be yours, J and A! I'm truly honored that you asked us to photograph your wedding.





yes, it's a smile on J's face!!!




isn't she stunning??



love love love when this happens... this photo is straight out of camera -- sunburst flare is God given!!



Love

I am so excited to get to shoot the May wedding of these two -- they are such a nice couple AND they look like I did a casting to get the two of them together!! They have such a beautiful look together and loved getting to have their dog in our first part of the session. Congratulations, guys! So excited for the wedding!

my fav of the day...

Sweet Wedded Bliss....

Like a fairytale! I loved getting to have this extra portrait session with C and L. I was honored to get to photograph their wedding - but Mother Nature played a bit of a nasty trick on us and sent torrential rains. We missed getting to photograph outside and get the amazing portraits these two deserved - so we dressed up and had a redo!

As always their sweet and fun personalities made this another dream session! Congratulations you two - and thanks for a great afternoon together! These two are so kind and calm with each other - I know they will have a lifetime of happiness.

The Man of the Hour and his Crew

What a special way to start the New Year. I LOVED this shoot!! I say it often, but it bears repeating -- there is no greater energy than a big family shoot. BUT you get a big family shoot with all of this testosterone going -- and the razzing and joking just goes to another level of fun completely! These guys were great! We shot only the guys and all around their father/grandfather - loved that they did this!

((I realized as I left it reminded me of when I was growing up -- my father was one of four boys and two of his brothers had four boys. Every summer, my mom would pack me up and send me over to my cousins. I spent 2-3 weeks with my aunt and uncle and their four boys in the mountains in Oregon (they were all forest firefighters). I was the youngest by 5 years... you can only imagine the fun and laughing and RAZZING at the dinner table each night!! IT WAS A BLAST!!! This felt a little like home being around these guys and watching what amazing memories they must be making together.))

Hope you enjoy these, P Family! You were a blast to work with -- and so willing to work with jumping in and out of cars to avoid the rain!
