A close-up on personality and relationships.

I try to capture true expressions and real personality in all my pictures. I love to shoot outdoors in a casual, child-friendly environment.

Eternally Wed

I was blessed to be the third string photographer at this wedding and it was so beautiful! I can't wait to see the images that the others captured. And I couldn't ask for a more photogenic bride and groom!
This little flower girl cropped up in a lot of my photos - she has so much personality!
I love to catch the bride primping - not that she needed it!
Beautiful siblings with their heads full of wedding dreams and their bellies full of wedding candy!
See? I told you!
Congratulations to the "K's" . . . you are picture perfect! Best of blessings on life's greatest adventure!

Variety!

What a beautiful big family! I loved shooting all the variety of expressions and seeing them line up next to each other. Personality is evident in every shot I took and each one is so different and wonderful! Here are just a few of my favorites!The whole family - thank heavens for digital, yes these were retouched to include 10 pairs of eyes in my direction!

The two that started it all - still a darling couple and I love the babies frolicking in the background. I loved playing with the color in this image.
See the personality? It's practically eeking out of him!
And this! Oh be still my heart - this is enough to make me salivate!!!
"Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes" - it's not snowing here, but I wish it was so I could take a picture of this little snowman in it!
I think I'll title this one, "Going Places". Boys are busy and I love watching brothers interact.
Here's Mom and her sweet baby daughter - I wish I had a picture of me and my Mom just like this! Thanks "B" family for a wonderful hour and dozens of smiles!

Merry Christmas Babies!

These two little elfs were so fun to play with and make for great Christmas images.

A Little of Everything

This fun family is a little of everything . . .A little girly

A little curious
A little wrapped around little fingers
A little adventurous


A little silly
A little lovey-dovey
A little crazy
A little picture perfect! Thanks "L" family - for a little of everything!

Radiant

Radiant is the best word I can find for this beautiful woman, a dear friend of mine so I was thrilled to get to shoot her family in the place where she runs her energetic dogs.

This is Princess "S" who is adored by her whole family and I'm pretty sure she knows she runs the show.
These dogs are beautiful and were so excited to be at their running spot that they were sure it was time to play - no holdin' still just ready to go!

Classic!

This family wanted to do something a little different for their family pictures with their restored 1965 Bug. It is a beautiful car, but they're an even more beautiful family.I had a fun time embellishing a little with frames and enjoyed
every minute of this quick shoot where the car was the star!
Thanks "M" family - hope you love 'em!
