ryan and sarah…newlyweds!

August 29, 2012

Ryan is my brother in law. Ryan was my good friend long before I even met Travis (my hubs). I adore Ryan like crazy. Sooooo, I was a little freaked when he says “I am dating a girl named Sarah, and oh yeah, we are getting married next month.” Ok, so it didn’t happen quite that fast, but it was fast. Who was this girl who was sweeping into the family and I had never even met her? Skeptical? You betcha.

So, they did get married, and we sadly weren’t able to attend the out of state wedding. When we headed home to visit this summer, we were finally able to meet this brother-in-law-stealing-girl I had been hearing about. And, I loved her. Instantly. She is funny, sweet, amazing to Ryan and his girls, and all around perfect for Ryan. And a perfect fit into our family.

Ryan, I love you like always. Sarah, I love you as a new sister. And, I TOTES love you guys together :)

Annnnnnd, if you want a peek into their personalities, the next photo sums it right up :) Love you guys!

Wait….wha??? Megan’s getting married? I just did her HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR pictures!!! Well, it turns out that time is flying by faster than I thought and that it has already been three years since I photographed her. It also turns out that she is marrying Joe, who is super rad and I highly approve of for Megan ;)


Deliciouso light!!!
Ohhhhh, how I love this one :)

Martin and Heather flew in from L.A. for a weekend of whirlwind wedding planning, and we were finally able to meet for our engagement shoot. I learned a lot in a short amount of time. For example…

  1. I learned that Martin doesn’t like cold (Michigan vs Los Angeles…makes sense).
  2. Heather has one of the most radiant smiles I have ever seen.
  3. Martin thinks I am a little loud and crazy (not words out of his mouth, but I’m sure he was thinking it).
  4. Heather has a killer fashion sense and I covet her yellow skirt.
  5. I also realized how lucky I am to know and work with such beautiful and wonderful people.

I’m UBER excited for their wedding later this year :)

Mmmmmm, favorite shot of the day.

Oooooo, another favorite shot of the day.

Finally. I find a few moments to share some of my favorites from our Florida workshop last month. My feelings of excitement, gratitude, and fun are still so fresh, and I have my staff (Brittni and Adam Schroeder), Travis, and of course, our awesome attendees to thank for that. If you would like to learn more about our final 2012 workshop in North Carolina, visit our workshop website.

How could I NOT do a another post with Jill and Ryan…this time with little Scotlyn included? So much sass. So much personality. So, so, so much cuteness. You can see part one HERE.

Ryan + Jill + Scotlyn + October 2012 = One of the coolest weddings ever. I just know it will be. These two are incredibly awesome and can’t take a bad photo.  And Scotlyn? She’ll be on the blog tomorrow. Too much personality to fit into one blog post :)

We just had so much dang fun in Las Vegas, I keep posting more and more images! First it was the beautiful bride and groom, and then an adorable family, and finally, our gorgeous engagement couple. All models were photographed at our two day Las Vegas workshop. If you would like to learn more about our last two workshops in 2012, please see our workshop website. Enjoy!

Yep, that’s me in the middle of the street in Las Vegas getting the above image.  The THINGS I will do to get my shot.  At least one of our attendees, Leisa, seems to be watching my back.  She must be right in the middle of telling me I will be death-by-car in about two seconds.  Taken by Laurel Hogge.

November 1, 2011

We had big plans for a lake house engagement shoot. But then…Michigan happened. Michigan and her random, unpredictable rainy day happened. We decided not to reschedule and shoot anyway…rain included.  You might say I am thrilled we didn’t reschedule.  Enjoy the very beautiful Chris and Theresa…

Favorite image of the day!

Are you kidding?  The wine room made the most amazing, dramatic shooting spot.

So excited for July 2012!!!

Ok, Brett and Erica…I’m ready to head back to the Riviera Maya, soooooo, just let me know when you’re ready and I’ll follow :)

No, really, Travis and I had the most amazing time with this gorgeous and equally fun couple.  Loved their location, loved their friends, loved their family, loved their wedding, loved THEM…times one hundred.

The wedding day is coming, but I just wanted to share a few of these two the day before.  Just hanging out on the beach…

Loooooove the tiny touch…

Travis rocks and captured this next series of awesomeness…
