It seems like not too long ago, they were new to saying I am a high school graduate (Class of 06 & 07).

Fast forward to the present where they proudly said “I do”.  Photographing these stages in their lives has brought such joy and satisfaction to my job.  Ah, I love what I do!!!

They worked as a wonderful team coordinating each detail of their wedding day.  Justin really step it up and was super attentive to everything Kayla needed.

Andre and I had a wonderful time capturing their love and unity.  We look forward to capturing so much more in their lives.

love these moments!bliss!in the moment!  true love!

♥ Congratulations Kayla and Justin!  We wish you the best in your life and marriage together.

We had an adventurous morning of scouting our shoot areas, avoiding HUGE GIANT ants, trespassing, and being swarmed by bees and horses. Literally. I don’t get too much time to hang out with my niece Alyssa as she’s busy achieving whatever she puts her mind to and I’m busy.. well you know, being busy… This day was special as I was able to capture Alyssa, or should I say Ali all grow(n)…ing up. This year is her senior year and she’s doing a killer job at taking on her responsibilities and life. It brings me great joy to share these photo’s with you and the wonderful time that Ali and I shared together.

Love her personality here!

bea.u.ti.ful!

where the trespassing began. We were spooked out for a while even thinking we could get kidnapped. too funny!
By the way, we did eventually receive permission to shoot on this fantastic property.

Wonder.ful. dancer for the Lightning Dancers! I love the leap on the right captured by Andre.

much more to come from this great session in a later post!

It’s hard to believe that my nephew Mickey is growing up so fast.  These photos take me back to one of my favorite photos.  Its a moment captured of us just as I was leaving for my first Air Force assignment, to Italy.  I remember hugging him goodbye, not knowing when I would see him next or even at all.  You know new military member, not knowing what tomorrow will hold.  Anyway, his was one of my final hugs which I still treasure to this day. Isn’t he cute!

Okay, now on to his much more grown up self.

This past Saturday I had a blast working at Six Flags. Here’s a sneak peak at a SUPER fun Senior session with Jen.

I TRULY LOVE MY JOB!!! More to come soon!

At times I wonder how I get from one day to the next as time flies by faster than I can grasp. It seems like only a few years ago that I held my niece just hours after she was born. Only to be here now photographing her at 17 years old.

She’s truly growing up!

My blog has been standing still while my life has been flying by. I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve been able to post anything. But I’m making myself slow down and release this sneak peek.. ha, it’s bit more than a sneak for Tyler and his loved ones, as well as, a surpise for MOM.

His sweet girlfriend, Sarah came along for the photoshoot.

And this one’s for you Linda!!! Suprise!

The guys came together for a quick photoshoot to suprise Mom. It was great to meet them all and hang out with them at the fire station.

Also, did you notice my new logo? I’m so excited about changing things up around here for my new branding. I’ve had the pleasure or working with Tiffany of On the Spot Studio. She’s fabulous! Fast, easy to communicate with, flexible, PATIENT (which I need with my fickleness). She’s just all that and a mountain dew! If your in need of a new logo or know some that is, I HIGHLY recommend her. Go on over and check out her logo gallery, http://www.onthespotstudio.com/ . And while your there stop by and share some birthday love with her on her blog http://blog.onthespotstudio.com/ !

Hopefully, I’ll be back soon to blog more, but for now I’m off to take care of my sick son. Poor baby!
