The first thing out of my sister/assistant Kellie’s mouth when we met Megan’s family was “How do you get so lucky to have such fabulous clients”. Yeah, I’m pretty darn lucky. Megan was possibly the calmest bride I have ever seen (and that’s saying a lot since most of my clients are pretty down to earth) and Mike is so sweet and so in love with Megan! Not to mention both their families are wonderful and so obviously happy for the couple!

I had a very hard time picking favorites for the slideshow and I know there’s a lot I had to leave out, plus all the pictures that my second shooter took that she’s still editing. But I think this tells the story of the day pretty well. Enjoy!

May you have many, many wonderful years together Megan & Mike!

Oh – and you may be wondering why the bridesmaids are brushing their teeth in one of the images. That’s for a contest that a local dentist was holding – send him a picture of you brushing your teeth in an unusual situation. I hope they win!

2 days later and I’m still downloading flash cards from my Saturday wedding! We had a blast and there was so much going on that we got a ton of images! I just went through the first batch and had two that I really wanted to share.

This one I absolutely love because it was totally unscripted, in the moment and so full of joy!

And this one just represents to me what a wedding truly is. The bride and groom quietly praying together during the ceremony. And of course the fact that the church is gorgeous doesn’t hurt!

Thank you for sharing this day with us, Megan & Mike! More to come!

“There is a severe thunderstorm warning in effect…”

That’s what we heard halfway through this senior session. Sure, it’s been raining a LOT this summer, but when we started shooting the sun was out and it was a beautiful day! That was the last thing I expected to hear! But at least the first part of the session had perfect weather and got some beautiful images for K and her family!

Love the warm sunlight of the sunset on this one

When D’s grandmother contacted me to do this session I was so excited since we were planning on shooting at the local “Storybook Gardens” (and yes, it’s just as cute as it sounds!) But a few days before the session vandals did tens of thousands of dollars in damage to it. So we had a slight change of plans and decided to try the local botanical gardens instead. Miss D is such a sweetheart (as were her mom, dad and grandma!) At first she was a little apprehensive but she warmed up and we got some good giggles thanks to mom playing Peek-a-Boo behind my back! We finished just in time too as another round of thunderstorms were rolling in (isn’t that the story of the summer – dodging raindrops?)

This is one of my absolute favorite shots. I can remember when our kids were little and they would snuggle down just like that!

I know I was a little bit of a tease yesterday, posting only one picture. And you know how much I love to post multiple pictures! It was one of those days where there was so much to do with so little time to do it in that not everything got done. But true to my word, I’m back today with more to share!

And wouldn’t these make an adorable storyboard?

Miss Lily with her beautiful Mommy!

And don’t forget that the fabulous Canvas Sale goes on through Sunday! If you have been waiting to place your canvas order, now is the time! Don’t worry if you haven’t decided which picture to use, just e-mail me the size you want and we can figure out which image will work together!
