1+4+3=7+1
I never showed you this, did I? Unless you happen to be a fortunate fan of my Facebook fan page or you're a friend. If not, maybe you should be. ;)
With a fantastically delicious fajita bar for supper and all the games you could possibly want to play waiting right outside the door, what more could you ask for?
This was such a great night. A super fun bridal party, great location, new ideas.... And a happy, happy family.
This is the awesome, custom made Save the Date (or, StD, as I called it without thinking) that I created for Jeff & Katie.
Wait, wait, wait. Hold your horses, Cat. Who are Jeff & Katie?
Sit right back and you'll hear a tale...
I have been friends with Katie and Becky since Kindergarten. Becky & I were in a scrapbooking group on MySpace and met Layla. Layla shared an artist's fan page on Facebook one day. I gotta admit, I didn't become a fan until later. But Katie, Katie, became a fan then. And Katie and the artist hit it off. She kept it a secret for a while, an online friendship.
Then she took a trip out to New York.
Something was going on.
Fast forward a bit......Katie introduces Jeff to her boys, Ethan & Logan. They start to plan their first family vacation to DisneyWorld.

After a scary medical situation with Jeff, Katie flew there immediately and Jeff knew this was the time to ask Katie the big question.
She said yes!!!
When talking with the boys about where they thought the wedding should be, the boys said, "Dave & Busters!" At first they laughed about the idea, then they decided it was perfect.

| Fitzy was the best ring bearer. Fantastic job, I must say. |

| Katie's classic beauty was amazing. |

| I am so pumped that Mitch helped me get everything ready for this shot! |
This was such a great night. A super fun bridal party, great location, new ideas.... And a happy, happy family.
The Winch Family
I donated to a fundraiser for a local gentleman a while back. Lucinda was able to help him out by bidding on my Gift Certificates at his Silent Auction. That makes us both feel good, I think, and I surely hope it helped the gentleman and his family a bit. The day after Thanksgiving I was able to meet with this lovely family for a photo session. When people live far away from each other, holidays tend to be when they get together.
I love this one. Warm and chocolatey. :)
Aren't these kiddos adorable?
Little Miss Mia: 6 Months
I photographed Mia on this bed when she was just a newborn. I brought it along again today to show how much she's grown. Look at her sitting up! Foxy, the family (11 year old) puppy), joined her, too.
Gorgeous fall day today! So nice and warm, lovely colors, not too windy.
Check out Foxy!
I love, love, love this photo of them playing together! What a sweet moment.
Her cousin bought her a little hat! Her outfit says, "Mommy's Little Pumpkin".
Mia got tuckered out and loved the soft fur. What a honey bun!
Zach: Class of 2012
Here's a little fact: I am creative.
Another fact: I like creative people.
So when I get asked if we could set up a drum set in the woods, I said yes.
This is Zach. He's a drummer. I'd really like to say "drummist", just to be funny, but I think I'd just come off looking like a weirdo. Which I am. However, this is not about that.
It's about Zach graduating High School this year.
He enjoys playing drums, music and hunting.
I am not a fan of guns. He had to show me the empty barrel several times. I then let him point it at me. Looks good, huh?
You may recognize his cousin, Tori, playing football with him here. They've been Best Cousins since they were kiddos. We had to get some shots of them together, doing what they like to do together.
Don't you love this shot of Zach in his Grandfather's study? Notice the sign? It says, "A Round Tuit". So when Grandpa says he'll get around to it.......
Congrats, Zach. Have a great Senior year!!!
The Omori Family: Family Portrait Session
Greg, the Dad, has been waiting 35 years to have this done, he told me. Sure, they got a family portrait when Alex was 1, but that was 24 years ago. They'd never done a family portrait since Colin was born.
It was time.
And of course, Sunny & Sam joined in on the love. Sam is Colin's dog, and Sunny is Alex's. Those dogs are definitely loved members of the family!
What a happy, loving, fun family. I really enjoyed photographing your family! Thank you for choosing me!
