Colby & Dawnelle

Colby and Dawnelle just got married a few weeks ago and I had the honor of capturing their special day. Look how Colby literally sweeps Dawnelle off her feet!

There are some comedians among the family and wedding party...

Beautiful place settings helped make a memorable evening!

Ok- Dawnelle's Grandpa is one hip fellow. Check out his stylin' orange shirt. I love this shot where he's one-on-one with digital technology. The only question is, who's helping who? :)

Awesome Alyssa!

Ok... so I've been looking forward to Alyssa's photoshoot for quite awhile... and boy was it worth the wait! :) That girl can crank up the fun in nothing flat!

Here's a favorite composite of mine from our shoot... I love the color boldness and simplicity of this montage (not to mention Alyssa's rockin' smiles and laughter!)

Here's a shot of Alyssa making use of last year's prom dress. I think the color looks incredible on her!

I love the way you can almost hear her laughing when you see this photo... It's so.... real.

Ok... this one is just plain silly... :)

There's the prom dress again... I love the green dress against her dark hair...

Thanks Alyssa for letting me capture your spirit in front of the lens! :)

Go Team!

To celebrate our one year anniversary, after a fantastic dinner, Emir and I came home and defrosted our wedding cake that had been in my mom's freezer since we walked down the aisle. Would you believe it tasted every bit as good as it did 365 days earlier??? Who would've guessed!

This is a pic of us at home in our kitchen (it would also make a swell ad for the Southbeach Cookbook... don't you think? Ha ha!). I was aiming for the ol' Norman Rockwell look. I love his paintings!


Special thanks to Michelle for snapping this pic and playing assistant art director :)

Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

Ok... I'm no stranger to having clients from out of town.... but Alison and her husband came to my studio all the way from GERMANY!

They're a military family that has been based there for quite some time. While in Nebraska on "block leave," they wanted some pictures of the two of them before he starts his second tour in Iraq. We wish him a safe and speedy return!

Thanks for the opportunity to create something special for you two!

Alison was such a ham!

Lovely Lauren!

Here's some of my new faves from a recent senior session with Lauren. She was having a total ball and at one point asked, "Can I just twirl?"

I said, "Absolutely!!!!" Twirl your heart out Lauren!

Lauren is a big fan of her sneakers. Apparently she has quite the collection. Here she is sporting a fiesty red pair... :)

Pool Party!

A year ago, little Cohen was in my studio as a tiny newborn... now he's a whole year old! To celebrate, we rounded up his cousins and had ourselves a poolside photo shoot. What a cute little man! (You should see his parents... they're adorable!)

Where's your belly button?

Nothing like a popsicle on a hot summer day!
