The Ryan Family + Yankee

This is my second annual photo shoot with Shannon, Keith & Yankee! I love taking pictures of these two people because they have such a sweet father/daughter relationship. It is so neat to see how close they are and they always seem to be so happy. The more I have gotten to know Shannon the more I see that she isn't just beautiful on the outside, but also on the inside. She is so thoughtful of others and just an all around fun girl to be with!! And just like last year, Yankee was such a trooper and performed great in front of my camera :)

The Richardson Family

It was so fun to take family photos for Chauncey, Amber & Kennadee because our families have known each other for years and it's so cool to see where we are all at now! A beautiful couple and a beautiful little girl made my job a breeze. And all of their crazy blue eyes... they just make their pictures POP! Kennadee also really challenged me to work two different jobs- I was the photographer as well as every Disney princess I could think of in order to get all of those beautiful smiles that I got from her :)

Welcome To The World Baby Ethan!

Here is another post I'm so excited to share because this precious little guy belongs to our friends Brad & Nicole. It was so fun getting to be a part of this journey with them. I photographed the baby shower, maternity photos, these sweet newborn pictures of Ethan, and soon I will take their first family of 3 photos! Ethan did what most babies do best & he slept through our session- he was the perfect little model ;) Congratulations again to the proud parents & it will be so fun one day to watch Brody & Ethan play together!! 

Kenna & Marcus: Two Of My Favorite Models!

This beautiful couple are newly weds and just got married in August!! But before they tied the knot, I had the opportunity to photograph them for a course I took back in May. Kenna is such a sweet girl & probably one of the few who can make a piece of twine and some flowers work as an awesome hair piece! Together she & Marcus were the perfect models for me to shoot a little mock wedding with. I so appreciated their time and cooperation as I put into play what I was blessed to learn working with the great Kacey Luvi. 

Harold Hamblin- An American Cowboy

I have known Harold for many years and have a lot of memories with him and his family. I grew up babysitting his two youngest kids and one of them, his daughter Riley, is also featured on my blog with her horse Goldie! Harold is a very nice guy who has a big heart for scaring me in any way he can... and he is usually very successful at it ;) He wanted to display his pride for our great country, in his cowboy way, and so we did and we had a lot of fun being creative with it!

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!
