Jerilyn & Donnie~Engagement Session

Saturday, October 29th, 2011

Oh, my poor blog…I’ve been neglecting it.  Fall is always my busiest season between weddings and fall foliage shoots, so I haven’t had time to get many posts up.  There will be lots coming in the next few months, I promise!

I had a lovely shoot a few weeks back with Jerilyn & Donnie.  We did the session one week before their destination wedding took place!   They looked amazing for their engagement shoot and incredible for their wedding!  Here a few of my favorites from our engagement session:

I love the sun flare on this shot.  Overcast lighting is generally good for photographs, but I love when the sun comes out to play!  You can get some effects that just aren’t possible on a cloudy day unless you use some off camera lighting.

If I ever get a house out in the country like I want, I am going to try to build  a rock wall like this! 

Don’t Jeri and Donnie look so at ease with each other?    They definitely made my job easy:)

Donnie was a good dipper, lol!  This shot was on the first try!  

The next shot is one of my favorites and I always try to incorporate a photo like this  into my engagement shoots. 

These two seriously have great chemistry and were naturals in front of the camera. 

Thanks for an amazing shoot and congratulations on your marriage!

6 Month Twin Shoot :)

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

There is just something magical about twins.  I’ve always wanted to have a set of twins for some reason.  After taking photos for a couple of different sets, I have an idea of how challenging it would actually be  to raise them, haha.  But, I also see the joy they bring to their families.  So, I think I’ll stick by my posit that I would like to have them.  This particular set of 6 month old identical twin boys is just so stinkin’ cute! 

I love this series….

First, they are happy next to each other checking out the burping alligator I had in my hand as an attention getter.

 

But, one brother started to feel like picking on the other.  He  put up with it for a little while….

It didn’t take too long ’til he started to get fed up with  it,  lol!  Love the expression in this one.

This next shot cracks me up…doesn’t he look so professional?!

And here is his flying brother, haha!

Love this next shot…so serious…

And I love this happy face shot, too!  The boys were trying to hide their smiles during the shoot, but we did manage to get some!

He’s back at it again here!  The brother on the right is giving him the stink eye!

After we got some indoor shots, we headed outside for some shots.  How cute are their little legwarmers?

And here is a shot of each of the boys with their beautiful mom.  You can definitely tell her boys are the light of her life.

It was so good getting to see you all!  See you at Thanksgiving if not before!

Ashley & Stephen Got Married!

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

It was just a perfect day….I couldn’t ask for anything more.  A perfect couple, amazing weather, beautiful locations….it made me one happy photographer! 

 Here is a shot of Ashley’s dress.  Love it!  Ashley would refer to the dress as “she” and “her,”  lol.

Here is one of my favorite shots of the rings:

The beautiful bouquet.  Perfect for a fall wedding!

I love this shot of Ashley putting on her birdcage veil right before the ceremony…

The ceremony location was amazing.  It was at a family property that had this amazing tree which was decorated with hanging flowers and served as the altar area.  Beautiful!

I love small and intimate ceremonies like Ashley and Steve planned.  There was no bridal party, just the two of them.  I think that really helps focus on the actual marriage taking place.

Ashley could not have looked any more beautiful! 

Her veil/fascinator was gorgeous!

Here are a few of my favorite couple shots…

I just had to take a photo in front of this incredible playhouse on the property!  Look at it!  Can you imagine having something like this as a little girl?!  I was so fascinated by it, lol.

Here is one of my favorite shots from the first dance…

And how cute are these caramel apple favors?

Thank you so much for asking me to be a part of your wedding!  It was incredible!
