Lyndsie and Soren

When I first meet a couple the first thing I look for is the connection between the bride and groom to be. Some are shy and some are more open with their affection. Lyndsie and Soren were absolutely open with their affection and you could tell there was a huge spark between the two. The way he glanced at  her, held her hand and the way he spoke to her. Their wedding day was no different. Full of love and sincerity. Best wishes to a fabulous couple.

Erica and Morgan

I think of Erica and Morgan's wedding as the beginning of summer for me. Even though it was close to the end of May and summer does not officially begin until end of June. Just something about this wedding relaxed me and made everything seem smooth. Perfect in every way! Thank you to them for having me along for the day. Cheers to many years of happiness!

I'm Back!

Holy smokes our summer break passed by quickly! I have several months of blogging to do now that the kids are heading back to school. (insert cheers!!)  It was a wonderful summer of portrait sessions, MANY weddings and the BEST for last...spending quality time with my kids. Due to my husband being gone 16 hours a day we made the decision that I needed to be home more and cut my hours down until he finished his exhausting schedule. Guess what? In two weeks I will be opening up a few more time slots for sessions each month and my hard working husband will be finished with his tiring schedule. (So thankful for all he has done for our family)
So what did I do between work??? Visited friends, spent many hours with my grandpa, went swimming, vacationed to Florida, traveled to Michigan, visited Kentucky, got a new hairdo,attended a Britney Spears concert and back to school shopping. The one thing I have been doing that is not so fun..physical therapy! However the Drayer team have been good to me and my collar bone is finally starting to feel better. Who knew carrying gear would create so much wear and tear to my shoulder.

Alright so I think that is a pretty good summary of my summer. Now let's blog!

The G Family

I really get excited when another photographer asks me to photograph their family. Especially Sarah's family! You recognize her, right? We have been working alot together this past year and have really created a great friendship. Not to mention working relationship too.
 Sarah, Josh and their cutie pie Caelyn are very easy to work with. They came prepared and dressed beautifully! The day was a little warm but it did not phase us with the slight breeze hitting our faces. Thank you for a great session and I hope to see many of these images hanging in your home soon. :)

Ashlee and Dustin

A beautiful day for Ashlee and Dustin during their April wedding at Oakhurst. The setting was perfect and the weather was just right. I have not only had the pleasure of photographing their wedding but several years back photographed Ashlee's sister Mallory's wedding. So thankful that they chose me to photograph such memorable events. Many blessings to Ashlee and Dustin on their journey through marriage.
