...two little girls laughing and dancing and delighting in life. Their grandpa has cared for them when their parents go to work since they were babies. This session was breathtaking and felt magical. The love between these little ones and their grandpa makes me tear up. I think you can see the love in these photographs. It's a treasure to behold.
My niece Betsy, at our second meeting, was five-weeks-old. This time around her big brother joined in on the photo fun. A few photographs from my visit.
This session begged for black and white processing. I loved the candid, natural interaction of the boys and the new life their new puppy has brought into the house. I loved the gentle calm their mom brings. I always love shooting in Central Massachusetts, and this family is one of the reasons I love to keep going back.
Carly and Michael didn't mind a bit when the overcast turned to rain midway through their session. They laughed it off and kept right on sharing their story while I took photographs. They are easy to be with, low-key and real, and I'm so excited for their wedding next May. These two belong together for sure!
Meet Zachary, 5-days-old when we did his photos. Sleepy and snuggly and handsome and smiley. His mom and dad and big sis are head-over-heels in love. I can see why. Isn't he wonderful? (He was born to be a Rangers fan, so it's fitting that I'm writing his blog while watching the game.)
These two stole my heart the first time I met them, and they continued to do so when we did their holiday photos. How sweet are they? Just a quick sneak peek today...
No words necessary. I love these images.
One of the things I love about clients who keep coming back is that we build some rapport with each other. These guys show up and let me do my thing and trust that the photos will show more than just what they look like. Every session reflects love and laughter, silliness and sweet. I love the ongoing story told through each session. It is real life, and it is beautiful.
True story: I met this family on an airplane when the triplets were a few months old. We struck up a conversation, which led to me shooting the kids' one-year photos, which led to me shooting the kids' two-year photos, which led to this session. I'm so glad it did. These three are full of energy, curiosity and fun. It's been a joy watching them grow.
I love the beautiful simplicity of this DIY wedding. Kate and John wear their love well, and their friends and family were eager to celebrate. I love that John surprise serenaded Kate during the reception. I cried right along with everyone else. It was an honor to witness their day. So excited for these two!
Stacey and Derrick made an impression from the beginning, and I knew their wedding would be a blast to photograph. They love each other and life, and their friends and family were ecstatic to witness this union. They wed at Stacey's childhood church and celebrated their reception at the Fort Worth Club, a venue I love to work with. These photos look like love, joy, bliss, beauty and more to me. Such a glorious day.
My first niece, beloved from the start. I don't know what to say about these images except that I'm so thankful that I got to take these photographs. Betsy decided to come 4.5 weeks early, and though her mama and daddy felt a bit unprepared, they're doing an incredible job. Our whole family is utterly enchanted.
Downtown Fort Worth provided the backdrop for this gorgeous bride's bridal portraits. We laughed a lot. A gallery owner invited us in for photos. The sun shone just enough. We did these just a week before her wedding, so that blog is coming right up. For now, though, Stacey's bridals...
Her mama and daddy and I got to know each other over the course of their engagement and wedding, so I was thrilled to meet little Miss Ellie at six-days-old. She captivated me with her laid back demeanor, just taking everything in. I love watching a couple expand into a family, and it was a joy to be a part of celebrating this tiny girl. And I'll get to see her in a couple of months at her fabulous auntie's wedding. Can't wait.
Dear friends at the lake with their kids on a warm summer afternoon? Perfection. I meant to blog these weeks ago, but they somehow got missed. I smiled when I came back to them today.
This couple? So fun. So in love. So easy to photograph, even on a very rainy wedding day. Theirs is sure to be a lifetime of laughter.
Watching Miss Nadine grow up is truly a privilege. She is such a happy baby, and I cannot get over her curls. You can see her newborn session here. I love, love, love these photos...
One of the greatest privileges of this job is photographing the families of my friends, year in and year out. I am honored that they would choose me as their photographer. I love seeing their children grow. I smile looking back through these images. These photos? so much life...
A gorgeous late-summer day at the summer camp where they met provided the backdrop for Rachel and Gary's Bradenburg, KY. Surrounded by friends and family, the couple started their adventure of marriage. Everything about the whole event reflected who Rachel and Gary are. It was an incredible day.
Brothers on a Sunday morning with their mom and dad, at home and at the park... They kept me on my toes, and I loved chasing their busy selves around. We had such fun. I hope these photos represent happy memories for this gorgeous crew.
