We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day to enjoy as this beautiful couple began their life as husband and wife. Their joy was absolutely contagious; from the giggles during the ceremony, to the sweet dance moves during the reception afterward. They know how to celebrate well! It was an honor to be part of this amazing day, guys. Best wishes, Mandy and Evan, and many, many happy years to come!

Just a few favorites from my session with this amazing family!

Alan & Brenda are expecting their first baby girl this Spring. I can't wait to meet her! I know they will make wonderful parents to their sweet little one because they just overflowed with love for each other during their photo session a few evenings ago. Congrats, you two, enjoy these last weeks of life before baby. 

Happy half birthday to this perfectly squishy girl! So Haddie... what can I say about this living doll? I mean, those cheeks are just SO kissable! And when she smiles, she melts my heart. Also, I doubt I've ever seen a kid more crazy about Mickey. :) Honest to goodness, I love this girl to pieces!

I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet family on a cold and dreary late Winter morning at a local park. 3-year-old Miss Zoey is spunky, sassy, and full of personality! But seriously though, those curls! Aren't they amazing?!

You guys, this family is so awesome! They seriously rock. No, literally. They do. They're releasing a family album in just a few months. And I had the honor of doing their promotional photos to be used on the CD cover!! How fun is that? These people are just have it all... talent, good looks, a great sense of humor, a wonderful family bond, and so down-to-earth. Not to mention that Keri is honest-to-goodness one of the best cooks (and moms) I know.  I could go on and on about how much I love the Beer family, but instead I'll just show off the images we made on this grey (but thankfully not too cold) March day.

P.S. Yes, they have 5 kids. And each one of them is just a respectful, sweet, smart, kind, obedient, and fun as you'd ever want to meet! xoxo

I had the pleasure of cuddling with {and photographing} sweet Haddon a few days ago. What a peach. He slept like a champ almost the whole time, gave me several gorgeous smiles, and didn't make a peep. He was so stinking adorable that I didn't even mind when he pooped on me! haha!
I know I've mentioned this before, but I do love his family. His big sister Lily was one of my first newborn clients 2 years ago. It's hard to believe she's old enough to be a big sister now.

So, I am pleased to introduce you to Haddon James Cazee. Born on January 21, 2014. 8 lbs 5 oz. and 20 inches long. He's a handsome fellow, don't you think?

A thousands congrats to Matt & Brittanny on their new precious blessing!

Lynden Joy just turned one! This girl. I mean, look at the personality in her precious face. Oh, those squishy cheeks, sparkling eyes, chubby legs. Pure one-year-old perfection.

Let me tell you a story about Lyndi's strand of pearls. These have been in her family for 4 generations now, and when she gets married she'll be the 4th woman to wear them on her wedding day. What a great family hierloom!

I should also mention that her Mommy made all the headbands she wore. In fact she just whipped up the feather one right before our session. I think it fits Lyndi's flapper style romper and pearls perfectly, don't you? Melissa is certainly a talented woman!
