Adam & Amber’s Engagement Session

admin — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 22:15:02 +0000

Last year on Valentine’s Day, a boy named Adam asked a girl named Amber to marry him. With tears of joy in her eyes, she said “Yes!” This year on Valentine’s Day, I met with these two for a fun-filled engagement session. It’s couples like this that make me love my job more and more. They love each other so much and you can just feel it. It just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. Here is the sweet couple:

We met at Peets Hill for our first shots and then we walked over to Bogart park to take a few more. This was also an opportunity for Lucy, their dog, to join in the fun. Lucy is actually the one who brought the ring to Amber when Adam proposed!

And then our last stop of the day was downtown.

There is always one picture that just jumps out at me as my favorite. This time it was a little harder to decide, but I will have to say that this one won. I just love it! They just look great together!

Happy Valentine’s Day and one year engagement! I cannot wait until your wedding this summer!

The Adams Family

What better way to start off the New Year than with a family photo shoot. And what makes it even better is their name: The Adams Family! Every time I say it, write it, think about it, I just want to burst into song and snap my fingers. I bet as you are reading this, you are starting to sing the song too! Anyway, back to the family. We got together on the 1st and just starting having some fun, taking some pictures and enjoying some family time. I love when we take pictures and everyone is so relaxed and really enjoys having their pictures taken. This family was definitely easy to work with and we had a great time. Makes me love my job even more!

Meet Bryan and Sue:

And these are their kids Elissa and Nathan:

Then just a few others from our day:

And my favorite of the day:

Thank you Adams family for a great photo shoot! Happy New Year!

Sun Flare-I♥Faces

This week’s category is Sun Flare. I never realized the neat effect that the glare can give to an image until I started playing with it and now I love it. Here is my entry for the week:

Baby K

Saturday, I got the chance to meet my birthday twin, Baby K. I had been waiting to meet this little sweetheart and sweet she is! When I showed up, I was expecting her to be sleeping, but nope, she was hanging out in her chair, catching up on some football with her dad. We decided to head to her room for pictures and outfit changes. She was so calm and patient with us! Anything we put her in was absolutely adorable, but if you are this cute, everything looks good on you, even nothing at all!

After a little while, K decided she was a little hungry and just wanted to be held until she fell asleep. That was perfect for this picture!

And a baby session just wouldn’t be complete without a picture of those sweet baby feet!

Congratulations Megan and Bryan! You have a very sweet little girl and I’m so glad we finally got to meet!

Pumpkin Picking

Sunday, we took our first trip to the pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin or two. If kids show up in their costume, they get a free pumpkin and I just couldn’t resist not dressing Mallory up. There was pumpkin picking, face painting, apple cider making, and just plain family fun! We have a great time and here are few pictures from our fun morning.

A pumpkin just her size!

The apples we turned into cider.

And once we got her face painted, there were no more smiles! Still pretty darn cute though!

Hope you all have a wonderful and safe Halloween!

It has been quite awhile since I have participated in the weekly contest at I♥Faces, but I just happened to take some costume pictures this weekend and thought one would be great to share. Meet my little lion:

And for the special pet addition-here is my dog when he was just a puppy. I couldn’t help but dress him up then and I still try and do it now!

Thank you for taking a peek at my photos! Please click the button above and check out all the other great entries! Have a wonderful week!

Nic’s Senior Portraits

On Monday, in the wonderfully cold Montana weather, I met up with Nic and his mom, Susie. Now, before I go any further, I need to let you know that I have known Susie since I was 4. She moved in next door to my parents and I just went over and introduced myself and never really left. She was my second mom and second home. I was in her wedding and when I was 9, I found out Susie was pregnant and well, 18 years later, here is Nic. All grown up himself, graduating from high school! I love when I really know my clients. It just makes taking their pictures that much more special!

I love this next picture because Nic was pretending to be a model, testing out poses and when I captured this image it just worked!

And this is my favorite!

Thanks for the wonderful, rather chilly photo shoot! I hope you had as much fun as I did! Good luck with your senior year!

Cassi & Dallas’ Wedding Day

admin — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 02:05:43 +0000

Saturday Brent and I headed up to the beautiful Woodlands to photograph Cassi and Dallas’ wedding. It was a gorgeous, warm day that couldn’t be more perfect for an outdoor wedding. And it was for a couple that are so in love with each other. As Cassi said during their vows “You had me at hello.” They just love being in the presence of each other and were so excited to share their day with family and friends.

Love the bridge!

The beautiful bouquet of calla lilies that looked fake but was 100% real!

A very intimate first dance.

And my favorite of the day. I know that sun glare isn’t always good in photographs, but I just love the light in this picture. The couple and the light just worked together!

Congratulations Cassi and Dallas! We wish you two many happy years to come!
