My two favorite baby boys!

I got home last night from our many travels across Canada, and I was so excited to be home with Kemper!! And I was equally pumped to have Allison come down and hang out for the night. Our friends Marcy and Jeremy so generously helped us out by house sitting, and I loved having them here when we came home. They have the most beautiful little baby boy, Connor, and we very much enjoyed watching Kemper and Conner play. So much that I grabbed my camera and started shooting.





Conner just giggled and giggled when Kemper licked him!




He got brave and started reaching for Kemper.




Hopefully Kemper will be as gentle with our kids!




There's the handsome man!!!!




Kisses for Connor!

A Glimpse into a Memorable Day

I had the privilege to take pictures at Dawn and Bill's wedding the other week, and I thought I'd post some pics for all of you to see! I went into the day not knowing anyone but Ashley and Ryan, but I left feeling like family. It truly was one of the most memorable weddings I've shot.

A New Addition!

Say hello to Kemper Shipman!!! He's my Christmas gift from Mike, and he is the most wonderful puppy ever! I was SOO surprised when this little ball of fur was put onto my lap last night, and I instantly fell in love!!!

We named him Kemper because Mike has always loved that name, but our family and friends have made so much fun of it that we decided to give our new baby puppy the name instead. And it suits him very well. Mike is SO adorable with him. I'm pretty sure Kemper is going to be daddy's little boy because he runs to Mike whenever he comes in the room!

You'll all have to come down and cuddle with him yourself, and you'll see how wonderful he is!


He was exploring our house, and got into our Christmas gifts!


Isn't he so adorable! I just love him so much!


Here he is a cuddled up with Mike in our bed. He fell right asleep once he got near daddy!


Baby Boy!

Gotta give Larry some face time...

I took engagement pictures of Larry and Andrea back in October, before John and Amy's wedding, and I got so caught up in editing their (John and Amy) pictures that I totally forgot to do Larry and Andrea's!!!! AHHH!!! I publicly apologize for that guys, and will get the CD of all the pictures to you ASAP. I'm so pleased with the way they turned out, and I CANNOT WAIT to take their wedding pics in a couple of months! I love you guys, and I hope you enjoy!

A Perfect Day for the Perfect Pair!

Amy and John are two of my most favorite people in the whole wide world, and I am so lucky to have captured some very cool moments of their big day. So I'm devoting this blog to them, and wanted to share some of my favorite shots. It was a PERFECT DAY for a wedding, and blessed to have been a part of the day. I love you, John and Amy! Enjoy!

Labor Day Weekend.....it's LONG overdue, I know

So, it's October.....a whole month since Labor Day weekend, and I hang my head in shame for my procrastination! I have no excuse! But I do want to be sure to blog about this because it was such a wonderful weekend!

Christy and Ben decided to come out for the weekend, and in the process of planning everything, we decided to try to get the whole gang together. So I called up Aimee and Becca to see if that weekend was free, and Bec gave me a thumbs up, and Aimee had to play at a wedding, so she said she couldn't come. I was very sad.

So I picked up Ben and Christy at the airport on Saturday evening, and we went to Sat. night church service, then out to eat. It was so nice catching up with them, and we just had the nicest time. Sunday morning we slept in, and actually watched Becca sing at her chruch via the internet, which was very cool. Later that day Christy and I went shopping (of course!), and when we came home we had a VERY wonderful surprise!! Aimee and Shane!!! YAY! It was so great to have them come! Bec and Denis were the last to arrive, and we all just chatted until bedtime.


On Monday, the fun began!!! We watched the boys play bocce ball (which was quite ammusing), and then played a crazy game of baseball. We decided to play against spouses, so the teams were me, Shane, Christy, and Denis, and the other team was Bec, Ben, Aimee, and Mike. their team was totally stacked!!!!!! Christy and I should never be allowed to be on the same team EVER cuz we both get bored easy, and poor Shane had to pick up the slack for the two of us while Denis just ran around the outfield. Needless to say, we LOST! So we went inside to sing! All us girls sing together, so Mike and Denis recorded us, and it was so much fun!

The eight of us had the most wonderful weekend, and I am so grateful for the friendship that I have with all of those people!!! Here are some pics to enjoy!

Just Another Day at the Beach

Becca and Dave are close friends of mine from Pittsburgh, and I was so excited to go down to Texas to shoot their wedding. They were so much fun, and I loved taking them out on the beach. Aren't they so cute!

Tiffany and Josh

Tiffany and Josh were the first bride and groom that I've photographed without knowing them before the day of their wedding. i was a little nervous about it, but my fears were lifted the moment I met them... they are the kindest couple, and I feel in love with both them and their families. I had a blast shooting this wedding, and I know they will have a blessed marriage.

Ceremony Shots

I wanted to take their son home with me.... he was TOO CUTE!!!!

Fairytale Wedding

Tiff and Josh were so wonderful, and I was so honored to be a part of their big day. It was truly a fairytale wedding!.
