I've known Taylor since she was about 6. She and her family lived across the back yard all through grade school and most of high school. She and her sisters, Ashten and Maddie and my daughter, Elizabeth all grew up together in that back yard. Endless summer days spent composing dance recitals, jumping on the trampoline, playing kickball and just being girls.
These girls are all growing up now. Many milestones have been reached. The first day of kindergarten, the first day of sixth grade, high school, drivers license's, boys, now they're going off to college. It's been amazing to watch each of them grow into beautiful young women.
If I had to describe Taylor in one sentence, it would be: She has the most infectious laugh, sparkling eyes, a kind heart and is the most warm blooded person I know! When she was a little girl and came knocking at the back door, it didn't matter if it was sunny and warm or if there was several inches of snow on the ground, she was most likely wearing flip flops and shorts!
Truly, Taylor is an exceptional young woman who I feel blessed to know. She is going to do great things in her life... and to think I'll be able to say I knew her way back when!
Congrats Taylor!!
Kyle is just one of those guys who is really comfortable in front of the camera. He was game for anything and we pushed him to the limit! We had him climbing trees, bridges ands train cars. All the while, he just smiled and posed for the camera (and didn't smile when we said we were looking for a more serious expression for a shot) He is a natural in front of the camera and it shows. It was such a great night and we had so much fun!

A couple of our portraits were recently chosen for ads in Martha Stewart Weddings and Brides magazines! Watch for another one, appearing in the Winter issue of Martha Stewart Weddings, too!
Is it any wonder why I love this job? Even the paper is pretty! I see a lot of different kinds of wedding invitations every day. If I were a bride today, I know I'd have a particularly hard time deciding on any one invitation. I have a hard enough time picking out a Christmas card each year!
Sara and Dustin's July wedding was beautiful. The little country church, pictures by the lake. ~All dotted with vibrant pinks and oranges. It was the perfect palette for a summer wedding. Every detail was artfully planned. Sara was a stunning bride, Dustin a handsome groom. Could there be a more beautiful couple? Their smiles were infectious from the very start of the day. Together, they made our job very easy!
