Senior Pictures. Oh, so much fun! Kristen was a riot! Look at how much fun we had!

A special thanks to Roberta. She carried my strobes all over Jeffrey Mansion. Woot!

Such a natural beauty!

Ohhhh, rock it girl!

What a beautiful dancer!

Amy & Johan’s baby shower. Sugarbean is coming next month! I can’t believe it!

Kacy (Amy’s BFF), Pam (MIL) and family did an AWESOME job with the decorations and owl theme.

It was like a Secret Garden.
All the guests took home the fresh flowers.  Beautiful.
The “Whoo Loves You Baby?” Menu
Whoo?  We do!
Mmmm!
Words to cherish forever.
Guest Favors.  Double as a finger puppet.  Made with lots of love!
Game presents.
Guess “Whoo” the baby picture is?

Sugarbean’s nursery is going to be SO adorable!
Parents-to-be.
Oops!  I did a Michigan in my pants.
Made with love by Aunt Rachel.
A special gift from Amy’s best friend.  A special antique owl necklace.
And so the tears begin.  Happy tears of course.  Kacy is pregnant too.
Friends!

Look at this little ham Layla.  Isn’t she so stinkin’ cute?!  This is her proud big brother Jackson.

Jake and J-Man.

Kellan and Ashton. Too. Cute.

Here is Heidi with her beautiful children. We workout together HERE. We have lots of laughs together at “that gym”…trying to get away with, um, doing nothing. Our trainer never lets us. Isn’t she just beautiful!

This is the first time I got to meet little Layla. I’m in love!

Look at his eyes! Hello ladies!

They got married last year.  I guess you could call this their anniversary portrait session.  Luisa and I did gymnastics together at Ohio State.  She’s awesome!

Their doggie made a great photo prop!


Let’s play Romeo and Juliet.


I love this!This is really something you can only ask your gymnastics friend to do.  Luisa was ALL for it!

And, this.  Well, it didn’t really work out as planned.  But, it’s flippin’ hilarious!
They are adorable!

Oh-so precious! I just love new life.

Newborn babies are so small and innocent. It’s wonderful…really, they FILL you FULL of WONDER!
Little tiny fingers and itty bitty toes. They barely have eyelashes. And no eyebrows. Tightly closed eyes and a little furrowed forehead. New. Just days old.
It makes me wonder what it feels like to be just days old. Lovely, I’m sure. You get to sleep and be held and loved and kissed and rocked and squeezed so tightly from all your new family. Amazing, really.

Meet Drew. Welcome to this wonderful world little baby.

Whoa, is time flying!  I’ve had the great joy of shooting Anabelles’ newborn, 3 month and 6 month photos.  Mindy (the mama) mentioned at this shoot we would see the biggest change in Anabelle.  Oh, was she right!  Anabelle has sooo much personality.  Not to mention she is SO BIG now.  And so mobile.  We couldn’t keep her still!

I really can’t say enough awesome things about these two people. They are funny, they are sweet, they are charming, they are beautiful (inside and out) and they love each other tremendously. The entire day was FILLED with this love.

I asked them to describe their wedding day in one word.

You know what they said?  Musical, Magical, Lutheran. That is not really one word but that was really how the day played out.

They vowed their lives to one another at Lord of Life Lutheran Church.  Following the musical, magical and lutheran ceremony, was a fun-filled evening at La Scala.

Now let’s check out these beautiful photographs and let them tell the story of the fabulous day….

This guy right here, this guy is gettin’ hitched.


My girl, KK, came out to shoot with me. She’s been really busy this summer being a fabulous mommy to her two little angels. I can say she has been missed dearly. And her lovely shots.. like the one above and below.


A bride putting on her gown is probably one of my favorite moments during a wedding day. Look, she’s glowing.

Look at this little fella. He’s so proud to wear his little tux and matching all star shoes!

A bridesmaid made it an extra AWESOME day for Emily. She gifted the bride her favorite ice cream. Hello, awesome!

Here comes the bride!

Their first look at one another. Love it!

Just have a HUGE bridal party and they can easily decorate the church.


I think it is so touching when loved ones are involved in the ceremony. It happened several times on this beautiful day. Here is Bret’s mother joining the happy couple as they exchange rings.


All Stars. A GORRRGE wedding gown. Super cool.

The groom serenaded his bride.

She was all smiles.


Check out Bret’s face here. Priceless.

He’s such a character!

Ohh la la.

Emily is beautiful. Bret is hilarious. That’s really a great combo if you ask me.

And, they need no direction. This is all natural. All love.

Orange nails, blue flippys.

I heart pocket dresses!



Mmm..cake.

Caught red handed.




Smashing of the cake. Another favorite moment of mine. And the groom asking me to follow them to the restroom to get the cleanup.

We set up a BLAST of a “photobooth”. A special thanks to Tasha for running it. Here we are…rockin’ it out. Tasha, KK, and yours truly.





Hilarious.


The lovebirds.


And…one more shot of the All Stars. Because they rock!

Congrats newlyweds.  I wish you a lifetime of happiness and love!

Addison Paige was born on Cinco de mayo.  Cool!

We had a grand time.  I was a bit overwhelmed learning about all of the stuff involved with motherhood and becoming a family.  Swings, bouncers, carseats, strollers, breast feeding…the whole ninety five yards.  Rather scary really.  Jess taught me the ropes.  Little Addison was such a doll.  A fabulous little role model of the perfect little baby.  I want one just like her!

Here’s us at Atlantic Beach gettin’ our sun on.

A lovely dinner on the waterfront in Beaufort.

We realized right before we left for the airport we hadn’t gotten out the “big” camera. So we had a fun little photo shoot with precious Addie. I do have to say my niece is quite the natural!

Talk about a BEAUTIFUL baby! Jess and Caleb you’ve made the most precious gem EVER.

A is for Addison. And Adorable.

Her kissable lil’ tummy tum.

And, really. Just look at this chunker butt. Love it!

Welcome to the world Little Miss Addison Paige. Now move back to Ohio so I can squeeze you and LOVE you ALL the time!!

As y’all know, we’ve had some record high temperatures lately.  I have to say a HUGE HUGE thank you to Anita, Sean and their entire bridal party for trucking across the Park of Roses, ignoring the heat and having a blast with us.  We had a great time…sweat and all.

Anita and Sean said “I do” at a beautiful church in Upper Arlington.  Following the nuptials was a fan-TABULOUS ride in a TROLLEY to the Park of Roses where we were joined by all of the wedding guests for a beautiful reception.

Congrats guys! May life bring many truckloads of awesomeness!

Beautiful beautiful bride. I just love her hair!

Since she was a little girl, Anita has been dreaming of having her photograph taken in front of this stained glass window on her wedding day.
