So in love...

are my kissing cousins.. No.No. NO! They aren't cousins!! They are my cousin & cousin to be!!


are these two adorable or what?! They are so madly in love- its written all over their faces!
And Miss H's eyelashes.. I am so in love with them!!

and her ring.. its even more beautiful than her eyelashes!

And the last peek for them.. I just love a real sun flare!!

I love you two so very much! I cannot wait for your wedding day to come and for you two to become Mr and Mrs W. All my love.. Cousin C.

A few of the simple things...

that make a wedding day oh so elegant...

A few images from the wedding I shot with www.danielleluc.com yesterday. Congrats to the W newlyweds!! It was a pleasure to work for you! Enjoy your new lives as one... and always remember "Yes Dear".

The little loves of my life...

Little Man D is learning to ride his two wheeler!! We've been practicing in the yard- and so far so good!! I think he's just about ready for pavement..but I am not ;) Of course what he does...she does... so we dug her trike out of the attic!!



Monkey see.. Monkey do!


Mommy's little messyface! Throwing sand and runny noses (teething yet again) allows for sandy tears, sandy pigtails, and sand crusted noses ;) She did some hard work in the sandbox for D moving his equipment around for him! And she's definitely not scared of ANYTHING.. heights included!

And Mr. Buck. He's going on 5 years old and one of the best dogs you could ask for!

By giving our son a sister, we also gave him a best friend! I am sure there will be times they annoy each other- but I am soaking up the times they absolutely adore one another!

Be ready for blog posts to pick up! I am off vacation and back at it with a very busy schedule ahead! This weekend I have a wedding (with http://www.danielleluc.com/ ) and an engagement session! Busy, busy! The contracts are flying in and out of my mailbox, and I am currently booking for October! Please do not miss out on reserving your session- session appointments are getting very limited!

Just a little tease..

for Mrs. O! Because I am on a major kick today and almost done with their gallery already!! See what happens when you have a vacation coming up!



Speaking of vacation... I will be out of the office from 7/27-8/2- completely unplugged! If you wish to book a session- please contact me so I can get your contract in the mail to you before I leave. Sessions are not held until deposits are received by me. If you wish to order your portraits- please get your order in by 7/26- so that I can process it before I leave as well ;) Happy summer everyone! Enjoy your family and friends!

I love farmboys!!

This session was so dear to my heart. I got to catch up a bit with an old friend of mine, and take some images of her beautiful little farm boys! They had the typical farm boy energy and were ready to show me the cows and all the equipment on the farm! Being an (ex)farm girl myself, I was very eager to check it all out! Without further adieu meet G and his little brother g!

Mr G loves to play the air guitar oh so much! He's a little rockstar at heart!

Two brothers that look oh so innocent.. deep down I think they really are.. but they are farmboys.. meant to get into a little bit of mischiev!

Look what their mischiev found- this beautiful little egg!

Little g has the most piercing blue eyes.. dont you agree??

I'm not really sure what kind of trouble they were coming up with here.. but it sure must be funny to get grins like these!!

Thank you to their mother- C. I had a wonderful evening with your boys, and catching up a bit with you too!!

Nerves of steel!

.... thats what it took for me to finally face my first wedding as a second shooting photographer! Turns out- I LOVE IT! I had A LOT of fun working for http://www.danielleluc.com/ . I am only sharing a couple of the stills from this special day.. I don't want to take away from DLP's blog post when the REAL peeks come available for Mr & Mrs D ;) Make sure you check on her site for those!


Mrs. D's boquet.. oh so elegant...



Mrs. D kicked off her pretty purple heels for her beach photos.. and I couldnt resist the beauty..


My first play with a speedlight.. not too shabby I suppose. There is always room for practice though! This lil dude was sure practicing his breakdancing!



Finally.. we have Camp Perry's pier at sunset.. Dreamy isnt it?!

Aunt Paparazzi

My little brown skinned beauties!! Oh how I treasure their smiles.

..his wrinkled nose smile...

...his long eyelashes..

..her chubby little piggies

..and her blonde peach fuzz head..

I adore my family. We are one. We stand strong through the wildest storms.

All my love... Aunt Paparazzi

Ladies.. He's all mine!

...well at least for now.. My little "punk" is the sweetest thing there ever was. He's always wanting to help me out with anything I need. So when I approached him to see if he wanted to go on a test shoot with me- he agreed ever so willingly! He love adventures so much- especially when there is water involved, or so I thought. No such luck on last nights location.. it was nothing but a barren desert pretty much. And mosquitos.. LOTS of mosquitos!! I did however capture some images of my the most handsome blonde hair, blue eyed boy in the world.

I am new to the blogging world- we'll see how it goes for a bit. I do like that I am able to write more than FB lets me- and add more pictures in one post. Let me know what you think ;)

My first post.

Boy my momma would be proud.. if only she knew how to turn the computer ON.... Someday we'll sit her down and teach her...nahh maybe not... afterall she's still using a cell phone that is analog! yes.. analog! This one to be exact ;)

Here's to being a blogger!!
