Derek & Kate {Wedding}

Absolutely loved everything about this gorgeous wedding!  I first met the groom a few years ago when he was the coach for my son's freshmen soccer team. Through the course of the season I met the beautiful bride and was fortunate to take their engagement pictures.  They were seriously the MOST adorable couple I had ever photographed, so in love, so I was excited to be able to photograph their wedding with my friend Maddie.  Everything was perfect..from the weather, to the flowers, to the dress.  Derek and Kate were surrounded by so many family and friends and they were all so sweet and welcoming.  Such a great group of people with that small town feel.  I'm so very happy for this beautiful couple and I'm excited to see what the future holds for them.  Congratulations and thanks for letting me share in your special day!!!

 

 

 

Michael {Cake Smash}

This adorable little guy recently celebrated his first birthday!  Seems like I was just doing his newborn pictures yesterday. They really do grow too fast!   He is such a sweet little guy and he has the most contagious smile and beautiful eyes!!  I loved taking his pictures.  He was so easy even after he fell and got a bump on his head he still had a smile on his face.  These are some of my favorites.

 

Generations of Fun {Family Portraits}

This fun group got together for the first time in five years for a family reunion so family pictures were a must!  They were such troopers dealing with the CrAzY heat that we've been having.  We got together early in the morning and it didn't seem to make a difference.  The sun was out and it was HOT!  Made lighting a bit of a challenge but we were still able to get some great shots.  These are some of my favorites!
