first wedding of 2015, and it was a stunner!

Lucky me! I got to start off the 2015 wedding season with my favorite set up.

This winter Susan & Michelle chose to have a small, intimate, family oriented wedding at their favorite spot, Ponzi Vineyards in Sherwood. It was a beautiful affair. Very sweet, full of family and love. And to top it all off the sun even came out during photo time. It really could not have been better, and more stunning to capture. These ladies have been together for a long time, raised kids, made a beautiful life, it really was my honor to capture this special day in their lives on camera.

here are a few of my favorite images…

and baby will make 3…

It was just a handful of years ago I was photographing Danielle & Rob under the fall leaves. It was a beautiful day, with some lovely folks.

They are back, with one brand new addition, a beautiful baby bump! Danielle is utterly stunning as a pregnant mama. It was my pleasure to document this special time in their lives. I can not wait to meet baby girl!

Welcome to the world little brother

On a cold winter day a few years ago I met a darling baby girl. She was a tiny little thing, and so sweet for me. Well ever since that newborn session I have had the pleasure of watching her grow. First into a cheeky little baby, then a sassy toddler, then again this summer with all her darling cousins. Well darling baby girl is now a super sweet big sister! Her little brother is just as adorable and sweet to capture. He was a wiggly little one for me, but I am so happy to be back in-front of this family with my camera again.

Here are a few of my favs.

double the love

Man I love it when friends ask me to photograph their families, it is always such an honor. But when that friend is also a talented photographer that honor comes with a little bit of nerves. Last time my friend had a baby it was my pleasure to capture darling little Willa, now they are back in-front of the camera with not one but two more sweet babies.

Vivian and Graem did not make it easy on me, not one bit, but I loved getting to know their sweet faces, their tiny quirks, and their pint sized attitudes. I especially loved the mad house crazy time that was family photos, Willa cracked me up! It was a challenge, you know me I love a challenge! I think we came out of it with some pretty cute images, and I personally have a whole new respect for parents of twins! I am so happy for these five lovely people and my dear friends. I look forward to seeing all three of these little ones grow up and keep their mama & daddy on their toes.

Here are a handful of my favorites. 🙂

Christy & Kurt thanks again for trusting me to capture your family again. Your newest babes are just adorable, and Willa is crazy adorable. I wish you all nothing but the best as a larger, and a bit louder family. I hope you all are getting more sleep and cuddles these days. 🙂
