Love Shoot: Abby + Mike

/

Look at these two love pups.... are they sweet, or what? We happened to be shooting on one of the most windy and cold days yet this year.... and from the looks of them, you'd never even know! Way to go you two!

I *love* the laugh action in this one!

I love to create drama in images. Sometimes it's an expression. Sometimes, a movement or wardrobe piece. Sometimes, it's the scene itself. The sky in this one certainly doesn't disappoint!

Wah? Is it just me, or does this not even look like it was shot here. Seattle or San Fran, perhaps?

Luvin' the casualness....

When I render an image in black and white, it's not on a whim. It's after careful consideration of tonal values. This image, for instance, screamed at me to convert to bw! :)

*love!*

Christmas lights are always fun!

Sometimes, the wind cooperates just right.... I love hair that frames the eyes! :)

You two definitely deserve a gold medal for rockin' out on such a cold and WINDY day! A perfect 10! :)

Bowling for Love!

/

When I found out Jennifer and Adam are bowlers..... I tossed them the idea of shooting their love shoot pics at a bowling alley. (Insert dramatic hopeful pause with fingers crossed here....)

They were totally game! I'm sure deep down inside, they thought I was nuts.... a bowling alley is not exactly most people's idea of an ideal locale for romance..... Of course, I had a few thoughts on how to rock it out. They did a fantastic job!

Yep.... still bowling alley!

More bowling alley....

Who knew bowling alley lockers could be so..... sassy!?

So I promised we wouldn't shoot it ALL in the bowling alley. Besides, look at the rockin' outfits they showed up in... we HAD to make the most of 'em!

Couples often want me to tell them 'what to do.' The real trick, is to just forget I'm even there. (Easier said than done....) I LOVE the casualness of this one....

What's so funny? Was it something I said? :)

Adam, man of many talents, also plays guitar.

*love* this!

and this... ;)

You guys were amazing... I can't wait for your wedding in May! :)

Love Shoot: Brandon + Megan

/

Usually, when working with engaged couples, one of them tends to take the lead when it comes to coordinating the wedding photography.  When I first heard from this dynamic duo.... it was Brandon who was making the call. Way to be involved Brandon! :) We had so much fun on their love shoot.... their wedding is going to be a blast!

Such a great job guys! Can't wait to see you in May!

In Love: Katie + Bradley

/

How cute are these two peeps? We got together recently to take advantage of what was left of the great weather, and shoot some luv pics for their upcoming wedding. Such a breeze to work with.... look how much fun we had!

I *love* this image....

They had on rockin' embroidered denim.... both of them! How cool!

This is another fave....

So fun you guys..... I can't wait for your big day!

Grant + Laura Get Engaged!

/

As in.... right in front of my camera DURING our photoshoot! Holla!

I first met Grant and Laura at Bret & Alicia's wedding last June. They were SO adorable together, that I wasn't surprised when Grant contacted me with this grand scheme in mind. :) The only question was.... he was so incredibly excited... would he be able to wait until our scheduled shoot? :) I'm thrilled to announce.... He made it!


Way too cool you two! Congrats to you both! :)

Effie + Michael

/

Meet Effie + Michael. They live in Ithaca, NY where they are booth in the 'food industry.' Naturally, I had to ask them to tell me more about what that meant.... and it turns out to be pretty fascinating. They're definitely a part of smart, adorable love birds!

Working with them on their love shoot images was a barrel of laughs. I can't wait to photograph their wedding next April!


Say hello to Ithaca for me you two.... See ya next spring! :)

Love Shoot: Nicole + Jonathan

/

Boy meets girl. Girl bats her GORGEOUS blue eyes. Boy falls in love. Boy finds some gorgeous bling-bling (see below!) and asks Girl to spend forever with him. Yay!

The three of us headed out earlier this month to have some fall fun. (Look at Nicole's incredible blue eyes!)

No trip to the pond is complete without food for the ducks!


I'm totally looking forward to your big day you two! :) Thanks for choosing KaBloom!

Love Shoot: Catherine + Arlen

/

I've known Catherine and her family for several years... since I first photographed her brother's senior pictures. I've even had the honor of having her aunt in my photoshop classes. Too fun!

To say that I'm looking forward to Catherine and Arlen's wedding would be an understatement. They are so fun to work with, and such fantastic people.... I am thrilled to be sharing such an exciting day with them!


See you soon! :)

Love Shoot! Caitlin + Nate

/

The weather was less than cooperative, but that couldn't stop us. Ciatlin and Nate were so pumped for their shoot, that we headed out despite the rain (at times.... downpour!).

Eventually, they got sick of the umbrellas, and went without. That's when we scored this rockin' "Notebook" moment (I'm such a chick! Ha!).

Later, we decided to try something indoors and out of the rain.... :)

Thanks for your open-mindedness and willingness to play! Can't wait for your big day! :)
