Aaron & Riesa Are Married!!

It's been a couple of months now but I had the privilege of working with a great friend and fellow photographer, Kayce Smith, as a second photographer for Aaron & Riesa's wedding!! It was a great experience as this was my first wedding to photograph and I enjoyed getting to take the back seat and just have fun capturing small details and being creative with my pictures. Aaron & Riesa had a sweet ceremony and were surrounded by lots of love on their wedding day! I hope they are finding marriage to be a lot of fun and I am so thankful to Kayce for giving me this opportunity to shoot with her! 

Ryan & Jennifer Are ENGAGED!!!

I just had the opportunity of meeting this sweet family at our photo session last weekend. Collin is their 2 year old son who loves Mater & McQueen and he did an excellent job posing for my camera! Ryan and Jennifer are engaged to be married next month and I'm so excited to photograph their special day for them :) Congratulations to both of you!!

A Beautiful Baby Shower + A Beautiful Mommy-To-Be

One of my great friends, Nicole, is about to be a sweet little mommy & last weekend we celebrated her, Brad & baby Ethan. Nicole's family and friends gave her such an adorable shower where she and Brad were blessed with many gifts to help them welcome their new son next month! I loved getting to capture all of the small details and hard work that went into making her shower so special. As you can see from the photos I posted- Nicole is absolutely glowing with her pregnancy and just looks so pretty! 

A Girl & Her Horse

Goldie the beautiful horse and Riley the beautiful cowgirl! I've known Riley since she was a newborn baby girl, I used to babysit her when I was in junior high, and to this day I can specifically remember her calling me out of a room, when she was about one year old, by knocking on the door & in a deep voice saying, 'errrca, open da doooor!' :) And now, over 10 years later, I got to go in her backyard and take pictures of her and her awesome horse. Riley is such a natural with Goldie and can ride and command her like an expert, it's pretty impressive!! Thanks Riley for putting on a fun show for me to shoot & thank you Goldie for taking it easy on me while I had a camera in your face for over an hour! ;)

The A-DOR-ABLE Little Man Quinton Wayne

Welcome to the world baby Quinton!! It wasn't too long ago that I had one of my favorite family/maternity shoots with Thomas, Stefany, and Daphne & now I get to share these sweet photos of the newest member in their family. Quinton is just two weeks old and he was such an excellent newborn to photograph. And a [baby boy] newborn session it was- he peed on his daddy, had blowouts, and made us take a feeding break for him :) I love it!! He was just introducing his mommy and daddy to the fun and crazy world of boys. 

Alright lady with the camera... I'm ALL done! ;)
