Candid hour with the kids!!  …good times with a fun family!

this family is always so fun to work with!

the twins…can’t believe they are 2 yrs. old already!

sweet little Gabby

gotta love the expression!

Daddy’s little boys

If I could redo a wedding just because it was so much fun to shoot, I would jump at the chance to redo this one!
Shawn & Gina were just super to work with…so relaxed, so fun, and so very much in love!

check out the dress- so fun!

The gorgeous bride

willow trees are so romantic!

This bridal party was a riot!

beautiful girls in red

so I actually got to take some of the guy’s pictures.

…but Mike still got some of my favorites of the guys!  These next two are his.
Awesome groom shot!

a few more of the happy two

loved the flowers!

so happy…so in love!

I can’t resist adding one of the cake-  just beautiful!

…it was dark and rainy after the reception- perfect for a few more shwoony shots!

a cute little family.
fun colors.
a unique location.
gotta love it!

I could’ve shot in this patch of weeds for a long time!…

…and the brick sidewalk…

…and the leaves…

…happy hour, to say the least!

So many shoots…so many pictures…so little time to blog…
Here’s a few from a kid’s session I did a few weeks ago…
I love this little guy- his expressions are priceless!
Color…

…or B/W?

Loved this red wall.

Gotta love when this kind of stuff comes straight out of your camera- makes me smile.

After staring at this adorable little guy on my screen the last few hours, I can’t help but post a couple pictures.

So many pictures…an amazing couple…a delightful wedding!  I wish I’d have the time to blog a big long post about the wedding of my dear friend Krys and her man, but I don’t.
Here’s just a few from their amazing day…

Not all the credit for these pictures goes to me- Benji took a lot too!…

Krys- her love and adoration for her man was so much fun to witness!
This is one of those amazing ladies who I feel so privileged to call me friend!

The flowers were…wow!  Incredibly beautiful!

“Forget about the bridal party- this is about US!”

I can’t help but throw this one in- Krys’ personal attendants, and more dear friends of mine!

And a bit of cheese and hanging out after the reception.

We took more bride & groom pictures after the reception…fun times.

Cheers to a wonderful couple!
I can’t wait to see what God has in store for your lives, Kev & Krys- I know it’s going to be amazing!

I love seeing my friends happy!
Happy,  and very much in love would be a total understatement for these two!

And now, here are the pictures some of you have been (patiently) waiting to see!

A smashing couple, or what?

you can’t go wrong in a field of flowers and warm evening light!

…all warm and glowy in the last rays of warm, evening light.

Thanks, you guys, for the fun evening!
Looking forward to the wedding next month!

Family sessions are keeping me very busy right now!  I’m having a lot of fun meeting and working with so many different families…it’s confirmed in my mind once again that no two families are the same!  :)
I’m not going to be posting all of family sessions I do, but I’ll try to at least put a few of them up.

The Stoltzfus Family- they were the best; classy, photogenic, and they brought their sweet couch too!
Here’s one of my favorites from the evening- loved these kids and their expressions!

Totally loved this little guy!

Just a reminder:  October 31st is my deadline for family sessions this fall!!

They’re siblings…they’re my friends…good times!

I did a portrait session for Charlene because she needed prayer card pictures; last week she left for 2 years in Paraguay.
She’s going to be missed around here like crazy, but I know she’s going to be a huge blessing there too!

And Clifford wanted some shots…just because.

Not only did I have a lot of fun with this senior shoot, I love this girl dearly and feel so privileged to call her my cousin!
It’s really hard to choose a few pictures for a blog post when you shot way too many and have way too many favorites, but here’s a few…

I have an addiction to roads right now and I’m ok with that.

I loved this field!  We had good times in it too.

A favorite.

We couldn’t forget Sparky!

Love this series

Another favorite.  It’s hard to know when to stop when your capturing such a beautiful person!

The lighting was delicious!

And I saved the best for last- hands down, my absolute favorite!  This picture captures Jess very well- always laughing and having a good time.  I love your energy, girl!  Keep blessing people with your giggles and love for life!  :)
