Joe & Morgan's Wedding 1-1-11

Of course my first post of the year must be dedicated to my first wedding of the year that just so happened to be on 1-1-11. Joe and Morgan had a wonderful day to start out the new year. I had so much fun spending the day with them. Morgan and Joe are one of the nicest, friendliest people you will ever meet. You could tell throughout the day that these two were meant to be together and that just makes my job easier. Both sides of the family were so excited for them and you could see the love and the support that they both have. I think the only thing missing from the day were their puppies! Morgan looks absolutely stunning in her dress. I love it because it is simple but yet very elegant. She doesn't get lost in the dress. The flowers were a wonderful snap of color that helped the photos just pop. As always these are my favs to share! Enjoy~

Sarah & Evan

Isn't Sarah absolutely stunning?? Sarah & Evan are expecting at the end of January and I am super excited for them. We got together before Christmas to do a little photo shoot. They have decided to not know what the sex is nor are they telling the names they have picked out. I don't know how they have kept a secret this long! I don't think I could have! I had the best assistant, Lauren helping me with hair, and coming up with great ideas. Thanks Lauren! As always here are my favs! Enjoy~

Fall

Here is another set all taken on the same day. These were taken early November when the weather was pretty fantastic here. I have an obsession with my feet as you can tell. :) Enjoy~

I felt like I have neglected my blog lately so I found some images from my iPhone that I took over the summer. I just love this set. It is the little details that I wished I had more time to take in and capture. These moments are why I became a photographer. I just wished I would carry my real camera more to do it. Enjoy~

Mary Beth's Family Photos

You may recognize this rowdy bunch! I photographed MaryBeth's wedding a couple of years ago and she called me up and wanted to get an updated family photo while she was in town. She is from Southern Illinois and of course I was down for it. I got a chance to go back to Carbondale for the weekend. We meet up at the Garden of the Gods. I totally recommend going on a little road trip to this place. Very cool rock formations that happened 320 billion years ago. Pretty cool for Illinois I would have to say. Anyways, MaryBeth doesn't get to see her family all that much since her and husband moved out to Oregon. The weather was again perfect for the day and was so happy how these turned out. Aren't these boys so cute?!?

Thankful!

I have so much to be thankful for this year. I can't express enough how thankful I am for my clients! You all have been great to me this year. God has really blessed me with the business and all of the awesome things that happened. Sorry this is a day late, but I thought I would show through photos all of the people I am thankful for in my life. :) Enjoy~
