I rang in the class of 2010 with Hilary's help! Too much fun. These are some of my faves:
Just a heads up: I am currently *fully booked* for senior appointments through this summer and fall. If you are a die-hard and absolutely determined to rock the front of my camera, I may have a few openings available in March. Contact me for more info. :)
When you want to go where everybody knows your name.... forget 'Cheers.' Head to Snyder. The small town charm was off the charts for Jamiee and Drew's wedding! Jamiee grew up in the house down the street from the church they were married at, across the street from her grandparents and only a stone's throw away from her elementary school. The family business is located behind the house... and just behind the business... is the reception hall. Everything you need, right in one spot! As we walked through the streets, residents were quick to honk their horns or even dash out their front door to say hello and give a wave (surely right before they joined us at the church for the ceremony!). I imagine that they've all enjoyed watching Jamiee grow up as life passed by on Oak Street. Today, it was one big, huge, happy family celebrating the beginning of Jamiee and Drew's next adventure!
Their wedding day was the 13th...
Incredible shoes deserve some camera love too!
Jamiee's family and friends did an amazing fantastic outrageous job of decorating the reception hall. It was truly transformed. Paper lanterns are always pho-tastic! :)
CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS and best wishes for a future where you can live, laugh and love... together forever!
What a fun shoot! These two Chicago based love birds are hi-larious. I had the honor of photographing Kim's sister Katie for her senior portraits last year, and it's no surprise that good looks run in the family! I'm totally stoked to be shooting the wedding for these two in September (Shoot Shack and all!)
So excited for fall! Can't wait to see you in September!
Kelley's husband Lee is in the Army, so naturally, this was a perfect fit! :) How adorable is THIS? :)
Emir and I are incredibly fortunate to have some truly sensational people in our lives. One of those people is our friend (and Emir's co-worker) Ryan. Ryan, and several of the wonderful people in his life, just so happened to be in front of my camera recently, and wouldn't ya know it? I found myself with several faves to share!
Great to see you guys... I hope these make you smile, smile, smile! :)
I met up with these cuties recently....
We had some fun....
But then Carter got a real shiner on his forehead.... So I promised we'd finish up another time when the tears were gone.
So when I showed up for part 2 of our shoot, I found Carter hiding here...
He joined the party and we had a blast!
This one is my FAVE!
Wheeeeeeee!
Great job you guys! Carter.... I hope your forehead is all better!!!!! :) What a sport!
Anyone who has tried to wrangle three teen (or near teen) boys together for a family photograph knows.... it's not something they're generally excited about. "What? Do we have to????" can be heard rising above the sound of their exasperated breath. But... these boys met their match. :) They'd never been in front of my camera before, and I was up for the challenge! I promised not to make them smile, or ask them to say those dreaded 'cheese' words. Nope. They could pretty much do whatever they wanted. So, I put on my game face and extracted these images from deep within their clutches. :) After awhile, I dare say they enjoyed themselves!
Mission accomplished.
Evidence of fun having....
Mom and Dad sneaking a moment for themselves...
Thanks for the opportunity guys! I hope your weekend getaway was everything you hoped! :)
My Bosnian just keeps getting better and better! (Of course, it helps that Emir is sitting right next to me! Ha ha!) This is our newest little nephew.... Haris, looking as cute as can be during his official newborn session I shot yesterday. :)
We love that Laura and Adis live about five (5) blocks from our house. (We have the babysitting advantage of proximity!) Here's the new family of three enjoying their front porch!
When Laura was a baby, she had her photo taken with this yellow duck, which she's held onto since then. Naturally, we had to repeat the same photo with baby Haris.... this is my old-skool interpretation of it. :)
The proud Majka i Dido!
Haris... sleeping like, a baby!
Look at this great family! I was invited over to capture some images for them and had a ball chasing Lily here and there... and EVERYWHERE! For as tiny as she is, she sure is quick! :)
Mom and dad did an amazing job of picking out Lily's outfits for the shoot.... tons of great color!
One of her favorite places to play is in the kitchen (drawers.....).
So cute!
I am LOVING this one! :)
I'm so grateful for the opportunity to do something special for you and your family! I hope this images make you smile for years to come! :)
I can't believe how big these three are! I remember when they were first born (before I had a blog!). I saw them again when they turned 1, and now.... they're practically driving! (well.... it seems that way anyway!) I recently had the opportunity to photograph the triplets, their parents, their aunts and uncles, AND.... grama and grampa! Too cool.
Will cracks me up! At one point, all three of the kids were rolling down the hill.... but Will was rolling sideways.
Grace holds her own with both the boys...
Zander is quick.... but I managed to keep up with him. :) Nice try little guy!
These are the folks responsible for the three tornado cyclones... :) Erin & Brian.
Erin's sister Kara is a good friend of mine, who I don't get to see nearly enough! But nevertheless, we always pick up right where we left off.... :) She and Wes are expecting their own little bundle-o-joy in October!
