kelly and troy | part 1

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Oh the powers of Facebook. That’s how Kelly found me and proceeded to ask me to photograph her wedding. Kelly and I went to high school together. I was a sophomore when she was a senior. In most schools we probably would not have known that the other existed- but considering we went to school in the middle-of-nowhere, KS and only had 200 some odd students at our school-that was not the case. I was a cheerleader, Kelly the volleyball and basketball player. She was cool- I wasn’t, really :)

Anywho, I was honored (ok, SUPER PSYCHED) when Kelly told me her and Troy were getting married in Florida and would I be interested in photographing their private little wedding? DUH!!!

Mason and I made the 6.5 hour trek down to to Captiva Island to shoot their wedding at the Tween Waters Inn. What a gorgeous day!

Like, the most beautiful dress, EVER!

Oh, I forgot to mention that Tessa, also from out high school was there as the sole guest (plus her boyfriend) of the wedding. I’m pretty sure Kelly and Tessa are like BFF.

Brady | 3 – 4 months

Monday, August 10th, 2009

I had the pleasure of seeing this little one -not once, but twice for pictures!! He has such a sweet personality. I think he gets it from him mommy and daddy!

The first 3 sets are Brady at 3 months- the rest at 4 (nearly 5) months.

hudson | newborn

Hudson was one wide-awake baby.. but we still managed to sneak in the sweet sleeping shots. Thank you Johanna and Matt for being so patient with me!

He wasn’t so keen on me at first (or maybe it was the huge black thing in front of my face) hblog11
Hudson has the cutest nursery!

jennifer & adrian | a castle wedding

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

It was quite the adventure getting to this out-of-the-way castle…including off-roading in my Toyota Yaris. The difficulty finding the place was most definitely worth it. Jennifer and Adrian had a beautiful, storybook wedding- complete with castle and horse and carriage.

Mason documented the guys getting ready. I really love all 4 of these.

ashley | belly shoot for hubby

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

Ashley’s maternity session was super special due to the fact that her husband, Brian, is currently overseas serving with the military in Iraq and hasn’t been able to be a part of her pregnancy. I feel fortunate to be able to help them document this special time and to give Brian a glimpse into the beginning of their son’s world.

Ashley requested beach photos and as soon as I read that I knew I wanted to do a sunrise session-thankfully she was up to the challenge!

Baby Nate is due any day now. Keep your fingers crossed that Brian can make it home in time to welcome him into the world!

Thank you, Ashley, for being such a super client-following me from one beach to the next and frolicking around for such a long time!
