Tony & Jeanie:: elegance

When I think about Tony and Jeanie’s wedding, I have to smile.  Not only because I love working with friends, but also because it was such a beautiful, elegant, and fun wedding!  From the first moments in the morning with the girls while Jeanie got ready, to the Japanese lanterns soaring away into the night sky at the end of the day, it was lovely!
Because I’m working on their wedding album right now, I’m going to break up blogging a bit, and post some of the pages from their album instead of just individual photos.  I’d love to know what you think of this; posting album pages instead of individual photos.  I realized that I post more photos when I don’t have to work with each one individually!
Just a bit of promo for the album itself; this is a 12×12, leather-bond, double-weight page album.  I love these books for their durability, large photos, and beautiful, vivid colors!  Any wedding would be proud to be documented in a book like this. :)

Tony and Jeanie; thank you so much for the honor of being a part of your special day!  We loved working with ya’ll and couldn’t have ask for  a more fun and relaxed {and in love} couple! :)   Cheers to your happily ever after!


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

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! :)
