Family Portraits {2011}

“Other things may change, but we begin and end with FAMILY”.
I love the break winter gives my business.  True, it’s a self-appointed break (due to lack of enjoying cold temperatures and freezing subjects), but it’s a break all the same, and I love it!  A time to recharge, organize the previous years computer files, design wedding albums, and plan for the coming years events.
This morning I was going through some files of family photos and decided to post a few of my sessions from last summer.  I don’t usually post family pictures before Christmas (so as not to spoil the whole ‘sending out of the family Christmas picture’), but now that that’s past, here’s a peek into some of the fun families I was privileged to work with last year.



Oh for summer and the vivid colors and warm sunshine again!

If you can’t tell, I’m having a square photo fetish right now.  Ah, love them!




And I can’t resist one of my parents…just because their cute and I like them. :)

Treasure your family today, and make memories that will last a lifetime! :)

Chris + Sylvia = affection

In wedding on January 6, 2012 at 7:37 PM

I’m so thankful I have happy pictures to look back on from this wedding!  It truly was a beautiful day, complete with lots of love and all the rights components to make a lovely wedding day.  The value of being able to separate business and personal life while on the job was also brought a bit closer home when our car broke down on the way to take pictures that morning.  Thanks to many kind souls, we were able to proceed through the day with a borrowed car and had a ride home the next day (we were in Indiana), but the added stress was definitely not something I wish to repeat anytime soon!  My hubby did a great job of arranging things with our car while I [attempted to] carry out the wedding portraits as though all was well with the world. :)
All that to say, meet Chris and Sylvia, who were happily married and celebrated as planned! :)















Brandon & Melissa- Virginia love

In wedding on December 10, 2011 at 11:20 PM

If ever the popular quote, “Live. Laugh. Love” fit a couple, I’d say it fit this one!  What an epic summer wedding (yes, that’s revealing as to how far behind I am on blogging:( ) filled with laughter and love all because of this handsome, funny, and in-love couple!
Never mind the rain that tried to kill the joy; we dodged the puddles and lived up the day capturing the beauty of this couple’s relationship.

Melissa was a gorgeous bride!  She had a fun and easy laugh; often triggered by something Brandon said. :)

Loved the hair piece!

Gotta have some attitude!

Brandon; what a handsome, funny, and charming groom!

Two personal faves from the day

Melissa, your gorgeous; inside and out!

and to please the crowd… :)

I don’t often post ceremony pictures, so decided to add a few this post.  The Ring bearer and flower girl were way to cute!

This seems to be the ‘new cake’ this summer at weddings, and I love it!  So fun and different.

Yep, I love a good cake feeding and can’t resist a few pictures from this one! :)

and a few more with the cute bug…

and they lived happily ever after. :)
Brandon and Melissa; we loved spending the day with ya’ll, taking in all the celebration, love, and laughter!  Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day; may God bless your journey together very richly!
