James and Nadia Tie the Knot {05.07.11}

I cannot begin to explain what a perfect day it was this Saturday.  The weather was gorgeous, the bride was stunning, the groom looked dapper, the wedding party was a blast and the venues were picture perfect!  What a great way for me to kick off wedding season 2011!  Here's a little sneak peek for the couple:

 and there was an adorable "golf" theme added into the reception!

Here's their slideshow!

Mara {6 months}

I didn't realize I had photographed so many newborns so soon after Miles was born, but here is Miss Mara's 6 month shoot!  It seems like yesterday we were doing her newborn shoot!  Her and her big sister did such a great job and they are SO sweet...here's a peek:

Charlie {7 months}

It has been 7 months already since little Charlie came in for his first photo shoot and I can't believe how big he's gotten!  He is a mover too...after the initial curiousness about me wore off (which took about 1 minute) he was outta there!

Brooke & Steve

What an adorable and fun couple!  I really enjoyed spending last Sunday afternoon with these two at Elmwood Park.  It was a BUSY day at the park, but we were able to navigate our way around the park even using some non-traditional backdrops ;) 

 



Machaela & Brian

These two are planning a fall 2011 wedding and with their crazy schedules I'm so excited we were able to get these done when we did.  I had so much fun getting to know these two and what they are like together....it's one of the best things about an engagement session for me!

Avery & Aubrey are 6 months!

Such sweetie pies!  These two came into the studio today and are just adorable.  I can't believe it's already been six months since their last shoot.  These two were good sports today and were so sweet with Mommy and Daddy.  Here's a peek:

John and Colleen

What sweet little twins who coincidentally share the same names as my husband and I.  They were just 11 days old and slept almost the entire shoot.  Their big sister Maggie did a great job holding and kissing them for a few shots, then got to leave and go hang out with Grandma.  Mom got to relax in quiet while I got to play with the twins!

Baby Cameron

This little peanut made me work for it this past week.  He did not want to sleep for me much, but I was able to sneak a few sleepy shots out of him.  I love this 'outtake' with his parents below...it really shows what he thought of our shoot!

Passover Gathering

I was contacted by Ali, a high school friend, last month about capturing her family as they gather for Passover this year at her Grandparents home.  I was honored to be able to document their whole family together as well as her new little girl, Havah who was such a trooper (I don't think she cried once).

Finley's one

Miss Finley came in for her 1 year old photo shoot last weekend and she was a little ham.  I haven't seen her since she was just a tiny newborn!  She got to wear a few of my tutus, play with balloons and run!  What a sweetie!

Carrie & Jesse {Save the Date}

Next month Carrie and Jesse will be saying "I DO" so I headed out to their farm in Bradshaw to shoot engagement pictures last weekend.  It was such a fun shoot and after warming up to 'pictures' the couple got silly wrapping chains around Jesse's wrist.  Thank you for inviting me out to your future home...

Ty

This lil guy came to the studio last week for his first shoot...He was a fabulous model...don't you think?
