The weather was on our side yesterday for my maternity session with Ben and Valerie! We even got some fun sunflare! Here’s a sneak peek of our session!

We braved the cold and snow for a wintery white session at a local park! I loved working with Kaitlyn and Brenen, they are so sweet and fun! Hope you guys like your sneak peek!!

It was such a privledge to share the day with this sweet couple! It was a snowy day, but the sun was shining and it was a beautiful winter wedding! Here’s a sneak peek of the day!

I had so much fun meeting this adorable family last night! Their boys just turned one and are as cute as can be! They did great braving the chill in the air to get our shots. Here is a sneak peek from our session!

Congratulations to Scott & Robin! I had the privledge of photographing their beautiful wedding on Friday at Aspen Hall in Shevlin Park. It was a gorgeous day and everything turned out perfectly! Here are some pictures from their special day!

Scott & Robin, I hope you’re enjoying your honeymoon and I hope you love the pictures!!

I have so much fun hanging with the girls while they’re getting ready beforehand. Here’s a few fun ones from our afternoon…

Pretty toes, that matched the beautiful bridesmaid’s dresses!

I love lashes shots, Robin’s were gorgeous! As was her beautiful hair!

Love the details… the shoes…

The dress…

The cake… I love how simple, yet elegant it was.

Video recording by the father of the groom…

Sisters! How cute are they?

And some of my FAVORITE pictures of the day… (I always save the best for last, haha)… The bride and groom opted to do a “First Look” before the wedding ceremony. I absolutely LOVED this idea. We were able to usher the rest of the wedding party and family away to Aspen Hall while the bride and groom met on the bridge to have a moment alone to steal their first glances before the ceremony. It was so sweet, I got totally choked up and teary eyed! Here are a few of my favorite shots from the moment….

Anticipation… Scott waiting to turn and look at his bride for the first time on their wedding day…

Robin waiting for her groom…

First look!

This was about the time I lost it, haha

This wedding was extra special for me to photography because it was my brother’s wedding!! It was so exciting to be a part of Shawn & Monee’s special day! I am also so thrilled to have gained a new neice and nephew too, they are so sweet!! Congratulations Shawn and Monee and family! You are truly blessed to have each other and such a beautiful family! I can’t wait to see you guys again! I loved meeting all of your family too Monee, they are so wonderful! Here is a sneak peek of your wedding photos!

I had to get some pictures of the beautiful lilacs to remember your special location. These are one of my favorite flowers, they smell so sweet! It made the location even more romantic!

I had such a wonderful couple session last night!! I have had the priveledge of knowing Julie for the past two years, she is so sweet! I have been dying to get her in front of my camera and I was finally able to, along with her awesome boyfriend Reagan! We had so much fun hanging out at Smith Rock together and getting some fun and romantic shots. My friend and assistant Lisa Dubisar came along and had some fun with us (more pics from Lisa coming soon!). Here’s a sneak peek of our session!! Thanks for such a fun session guys!

Little Maddox just turned one so it was the perfect time for this family to get some portraits done! I had such a blast working with them! Maddox was so cute and kept posing for me, haha! The older boys were so fun and goofy. And of course Julie and Adam were such a sweet couple, I had to get a couple kissing pics, haha!

Here’s your sneak peek guys! I had so much fun last night! By the way Julie, Ashlynn was in a fit of giggles while I was working on any pics with Hayden in them, hahaha!

I had so much fun working with this amazing couple! It was so wonderful to see them together, so in love and anxiously anticipating the arrival of their first baby! We had fun playing at two fabulous locations! We started out at Smith Rock and then ventured over to a beautiful park like property at Sunriver. Here’s a little sneak peek of our fun session! I can’t wait to meet the little girl inside that beautiful belly! It won’t be long!!

We had such a fun girls night out last night! We got together to do headshots for my friend Lorinda Conners (she’s an actress and esthetician). My friend Lisa is going to be working with me on some upcoming projects so we decided to make a party of it and do it together, haha. Later in the shoot I got out my 30D for Lorinda to play with. SO FUN!! Here’s a sneak peek of the headshots and some behind the scenes shots of all three of us in action! More to come!

So this is what it looks like on the other side of my camera… LOL (photo by Lorinda Conners)

Lisa and I ‘chimping’ in between shots. “You’re rocking it out Lisa!” (photo by Lorinda Conners)

Chimping with flare! LOL (photo by Lorinda Conners)

ME actually in front of the camera with no camera in my face, haha! It was weird being on the other side of the camera! I had to stop and think about what I tell me clients to do, hahaha! (photo by Lorinda Conners)

Lorinda giving my sorely neglected 30D some love!

Lorinda shooting Lisa shooting me

The final product of our shoot! These are just a few of the headshots I did for Lorinda. Lisa and I both have a ton more! So much fun!

We got yelled at for being too loud at this hotel, hahaha! OOPS!
