Over the next few days, I am going to post some photos of our packaging, pricing brochures, and albums that we have been working on over the cold, snowy winter months! We are very, very excited about everything, and I can’t wait to show you the facelift that our products have undergone recently.
These DVDs for high-resolution client images have been screenprinted by North Coast Interactive, and the beautiful tins were recommended to me by Caryn Azure and come from Effectuality. We will use these DVDs to send high-resolution images from weddings and portrait shoots, and we also will use them for making DVDs of our music slideshows!
The theme of this valentine’s week at I heart faces is KISSES! So, here’s one of my favorite Mt. Washington kisses from Elyse and Boris’s wedding. What a precious moment!
Happy Valentine’s everyone!

Happy snowed-in day everyone! Unfortunately, we had a wedding scheduled today that had to be moved to next weekend, but we figured we needed to put the cameras to use somehow! So, we went out and took some photos around Greenfield.
Hope you are all tucked away safe and sound in your homes. Hopefully we’re past the worst!

My dad gave our family three of the greatest gifts I can imagine.
1) He loved our mom like crazy. He hugged her in front of us. He kissed her. He told her he loved her all the time.
2) He loved us like crazy. He hugged us. He kissed us. He told us he loved us all the time.
3) He took pictures like crazy. He documented our precious childhood in photos, and I think this is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give a child.
Thank you dad for loving mom like crazy, for loving us like crazy, and for taking pictures of it all. I love you like crazy.
This weekend while I was in Florida, I dug around in a few of MANY boxes of pictures and found a few that I loved. Today I scanned them and had them printed larger. I just adore these photos.
Mom with the girls:
At our favorite beach spot where we vacationed with cousins: Ocean Club North
One of many photo shoots in our back yard. We LOVED that clowny doll.
At the beach. Love the tan faces:
Another back-yard photo shoot:
In our front driveway. I love the white dresses:
Krisan trying to run away. p.s. is she not the cutest child EVER? I love that hair.
Dad coming home from work in the cougar. We hated that car and eventually made him get rid of it because we complained so much and wouldn’t ride with him. I feel awful about it now!
My sweet sister. I just love the look on her face:
In a park nearby:
Dad with his girls:
Sitting with happy-dog. Probably for a Christmas card.
I wasn’t thrilled about it. But check out Krisan’s grin:
Eating lunch:
I wanted to stop by quickly and post a photo for the i heart faces blog. This week’s theme is textures, and Adriel and Neal are the beautiful bride and groom!

Back in December, I posted some portraits from Eva and John’s wedding on the snowiest day of the year! Well, I wanted to come back and post some photos from the rest of their day, as it was truly a beautiful event.
The wedding took place at St. Philips and the reception was at the Sheraton at Station Square.
Mary and Jay are talented photographers and wonderful friends who we have gotten to know over the past year. Mary and I met at a photographer’s lunch and then really hit it off after realizing that Brad and I attend the church that her church helped start in the city. We have so much in common, and we are so thankful for Jay and Mary both!! And of course, we’re thankful for their dog Astin, too! :)
Anyway, Mary took some beautiful photos for us last month, so last week when the snow didn’t stop falling for days, we made a plan for her family to come out and get some snowy pictures!!
Here are a few favorites from our time together. Enjoy!!
They really really really really really really love the snow. Really.

Meet Sam, Meg, and Sean! Sam is a friend who contacted me about scheduling a session for her parents’ Christmas present. She and her siblings Meg and Sean hadn’t had pictures taken in a very long time!
Well, I was thrilled to photograph their family, and I was even MORE thrilled that it happened to snow 6 inches the day before our shoot! They were very brave to come out in the snow, and we had so much fun hanging out together. There is something very special about watching brothers and sisters who love each other and aren’t afraid to show affection! Love it!!
Here are a few favorites from the shoot.
I just got back from a very fun shoot in the snow with our friends Mary and Jay! Here’s a preview of the fun to come… their awesome dog Astin!
While I was in Florida over the holidays, I was lucky enough to hold a mini-session for my cousins on St. Augustine beach! My dad (who is the source of my love of photography) also came along, and we took some sweet photos of Baylen, Collin, Brooklyn, and Addison on the beach!
Here are some favorites from the session!
Sweet Addison:
Playing hard!
The boys:
Sweet Brooklyn on the rocks:
Addison is too young for playing on the rocks!
All three doing their favorite dances:
And now good smiles:
I love you guys!!

When I woke up this Saturday morning to a thick blanket of snow, I was so excited! Brad and I photographed Eva and John’s wedding on the most beautiful day of the year in my opinion (yes, that’s right! This Floridian still gets very excited about snow)!
Eva and John are a wonderful, sweet couple who were SO brave and excited to hang out in the snow for some photos. I won’t be able to edit their whole wedding until after the holidays, but I wanted to post a few favorite portraits from their day.
What a beautiful couple, inside and out!
It’s cold and overcast outside but warm and happy inside. I had a few minutes this afternoon to relax, so I indulged in a little decaf, Christmas music, and Annie Leibovitz. I ended up shedding a few tears, as this book is as heartbreaking as it is beautiful. If you appreciate photography, I would recommend this work of art.
This collection of Annie’s photos is a stark reminder that life is short. That friends and family are what matter. And this afternoon, I have been inspired to document more of it in photographs.
Have you had any bits of inspiration this Friday? I hope your weekends are snowy and beautiful…
One of my favorite treats this time of year: christmas tree and candy cane-shaped cookies! What is your favorite treat?
This summer, Geni and her family had me out to take Maternity photos as they were expecting their second little girl.
Now, introducing Isabella! She was born November 3rd and is a beautiful, healthy, sweet little girl! And, I am lucky enough to be documenting this little girl’s first year in photos! Here are a few photos from our first session.
Thanks again Geni. It was a treat meeting Isabella, and I look forward to watching her grow.
