I LOVE Bella Beads!

So I love to browse etsy and find beautiful creations! I talk about etsy all the time and if I love the design that much then I will contact the artist and ask to photograph their designs. Sometimes it's the opposite. About two months ago I found Kris from Bella Bead Studio and just oozed over her designs. She came to the studio and had a case full of designs. What made it so perfect is that I had a bridal session setup and she agreed to model a few bridal pieces. Of course she offers everything and I mean EVERYTHING!

Here are a few of my personal favorite designs and a few from the bridal shots.

Nadine and Steven

My wedding season officially kicked of at the begining of June and of course it was AMAZING! Yes it was hot, yes it was stormy and yes we did not have air anywhere we went. With all of these conditions we still managed to create beautiful imagery. I have knocked on wood and will say I have yet to this day have had rain ruin pictures!
Nadine and Steven wowed their guests with beautiful details everywhere. Stunning colors and beautiful flowers. There was laughter and smiles throughout the day. I could not have asked for a better bride and groom.  Did I mention that we met up the following Monday for a bridal session?!

Congrats Nadine and Steven!

Happy June!

June is here already! Yikes!!! I am horribly behind on posting. So hopefully I can catch up after the Grand Opening June 18th. For now here are a few bridal sessions I worked on a few weeks ago. Thank you to Nancy Dye for hair and Mary Hammer for makeup!

Brides Galore!

Several weeks ago myself and fellow photographer friend Danielle Neil team up to start working on off camera flash. I am personally gearing up for my weddings this season and working on my new lighting to offer to my clients. Something more dramatic.  I also was lucky enough to have my friend and hairstylist Nancy come in to do hair. I think we will all remember that evening well with the chill in the air and the crazy crazy winds. All 3 brides really worked it out and we came home with some awesome images. Here are just a few!
