Brittany & Mike Getting Married!!

Location: Botanical Center
Date Taken: November 13th 2010

I am so lucky to work with such great couples! Brittany and Mike were so much fun it seemed like we were all laughing threw the entire session and that only continued for me when I went threw them! This is exactly why I offer engagement sessions in all of my packages! It gives us a great oppurtunity to get to know each other and it made me so much more excited for their wedding. I hope you enjoy these fun photos here are a few of my favorites!

Nicole & Ben Are Married!!!

Nicole and Ben are such a FUN and loving couple! Not only were they a blast but so was everyone in their wedding party, we had such a great day.  Their wedding ceremony was very personalized and unique. An amazing story that was shared during the ceremony was perfect. Forgive me for not being as eliquent as the I know the Preist was, but when Nicole graduated RCIA she was given a framed map. She never knew if this was a real map or where is was of, however it was always something she thought was special. When Nicole and Ben started dating he saw this framed map hanging on her wall. Ben asked Nicole why she had this framed map of Maine.  Would you believe that a town in this small map is where Ben's family was from! Thinking about how many places and people there are in the world the chances of Nicole being given a framed map of the place her future husband's family was from is beyond mind blowing.  

Here is a little slideshow of some of my favorites from the day! I hope you enjoy them...

Jennifer is a good friend of mine and when she asked me to take some family pictures I had no hesitation!! I was very excited that it turned out to be a beautiful day and that I had the chance to get out and take some pictures. I thought I would share a few with everyone! Just a reminder it's not to late to order holiday cards and I do offer several designs. Enjoy!!

 

Assata

Date Taken: October 19th, 2010

     I've taken pictures of Assata since she was born and I swear just when I think she can't get any cuter sure enough she has some how gotten cuter! She is one of the smartest 2.5 year old kids on the planet and even know MANY of the Dinosaurs in the Dino Alphabet (for those of you that watch Dinosaur Train on IPTV you know what I'm talking about) She is just such a happy little girl and I love taking her pictures! Here are just a few of my favorites from earlier today!



The Twins are 10 months!!

As a mother myself I know how fast it seems that our little ones grow up! When my friend asked to take 10 month pictures of her twins I thought goodness it hasn't been ten months already has it, even this seems like fast growing to me though!! Where does the time go? Little Autumn had surgery on her eye duct the day after pictures but she was a trooper and is doing great!! I'm so glad to hear it. Koda was such a happy little guy, his smile would melt any girls heart!! David the big brother was a darling on his little tractor he looked like he could ride that thing ALL day!!
Here's a couple of my favorites!

Bridal Tweets from the Streets

Aaron and Sarah were married August 28th 2010 they are such a beautiful couple and I had a lot of the fun shooting their wedding at Glen Oaks Country Club! Sarah had a beautifully detailed dress that transformed into a shorter dress which she fashioned during the reception! Not only is it a brilliant idea to keep cool but she look stunning!

"Thank you so much for all of the time you spent on our wedding pictures and with us that day. The pictures are beautiful and we truly appreciate all of the hard work that you put in. Thanks" ~Aaron and Sarah

Thank you both for letting me be apart of your special day you both looked amazing. Threw out the day there were so many touching moments between to two of you, this is why I love weddings so much!!

     I met Lisa and Clint at a bridal forum about a month ago! They are such a great couple very enthusiastic and amazing to photograph!
