Snow

I came across these two photos of Crystal and Oliver in the snow this winter. It was Olivers first visit to the snow, and Crystal had so much fun we literally had to bribe her with hot cocoa to get her to come inside. :)

The "Magic House"

Can't you just see Laura, Mary, Ma and Pa living here? My good friend Chris showed me what he calls the "magic house" and I have to agree. I was SO inspired when I was there, I wanted to just shoot a million photos!

This was processed with Topaz Adjust. You should totally get it if you don't have it yet! :)

Jen and Tim's Wedding

This Saturday I was able to shoot Jen's getting ready pictures, along with some detail stuff of her wedding. The wedding was an absolute blast, it is so wonderful to see two great friends tying the knot! It was a blast hanging out with the bridesmaids and I made some new friends along the way! Thanks for letting me photograph you guys!

The bling:


Her shoes matched Maya's dress! (her daughter and the flower girl. IT was fabulous!)








How fun are these bags?

Sweet Little Josephine...

Chris is my hairdresser (and seriously since I have been going to her, I haven't had better hair in my LIFE) and she has an adorable little 2 year old girl named Joey. Joey's grandpa was visiting from England, so I went to take some photos of them while he was still here! I had SUCH a hard time narrowing them all down, I ended up giving them so many more photos then I usually do, but I loved them all!

Thanks for letting me come over and hang out with you guys, and get some amazing photos in the meantime Chris!

Joey and her mama


Colin had the best English accent and actually used the word "brilliant". I fell in love shortly thereafter. :)




Dakota (or "Koda") was AWESOME. You should have seen these two together!

TG I am learning more about Photoshop!

On Twopeas, we have a thread going about processing an old photo, just to see how far we have come in our processing journey. I knew I had come far, but holy moly I didn't realize how far! This photo was taken Labor Day of 08, so about 8 months ago and I processed it right afterwards:



And then I re-edited it today:



Not perfect by ANY means, but a heck of a lot better!!

Jen and Tim Engagement Photos

Jen is a dear friend of mine, and I have known Tim since I was about 10 years old. :) I am so happy they are getting married next month, and I am looking forward to doing Jen's getting ready pictures! :)







My favorite and also Jen's favorite!!

I'm aliiiiiive!!

Phew!! I am so sorry to have been gone for so long. It has been a really rough couple of months, but after a medication adjustment I think I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!

Anyway, I am finally done with the newborn session I did right before I got so sick. This little cutie was 8 days old, and she was SO sweet. She looks just like her older siblings, who are so enamored with her, they were excellent helpers during the shoot!

Here is little Carina!





I love little baby yawns.



I absolutely ADORE the little swirl on the top of her head. She is SO sweet!
