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...




I don't know what it is about this shot, but I absolutely love it! Looks like real life shot for a magazine ad!

love this one... they both look so relaxed




seriously?!? aren't her eyes gorgeous!

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!





The Crew

love catching these moments when no one is "on" -- they are the true special moments when you catch families just hanging out and interacting... this is a favorite






The PreParty!!

these guys deserve a little extra credit - worried about the looming black clouds, we raced to get to our location before the rain set in. I love these candid shots we got while waiting for the crew to show up!
