Presley

I was super excited to meet Presley
this past weekend. She is the daughter
of Alan & Whitney (we photographed their
wedding a few years back). This was my
first photo shoot since having my own
little one, and we had a great time sharing
stories and advice. Presley was absolutely adorable,
and it was obvious mom and dad are completely
head over heels! I can't lie, Presley immediately
won me over too!

C & J + 1

So, we haven't been on the blog much the past 2 months.

We've been busy getting to know our new baby, Logan!

He arrived a bit early on Nov 20th, but he has been

growing and making up for it ever since.
We are head over heels for this little guy, and we

are enjoying every wild, magical moment.

We've got lots of weddings and engagements on the horizon for this

spring and summer, so we'll be back to posting soon.

For now, here are some photos of the little dude.

He is the most precious thing we've ever laid eyes on, and

of course we have taken quite a few photos (although not

as many as you'd think ~ we're a bit more tired than usual).
Logan even got his first camera from Santa already

(don't worry, it was stuffed).

Naomi and Nick

Since Casey is still waiting patiently for the new member of our family to come along, I had the chance to take Naomi and Nick out to shoot some engagements. It was cold... but an otherwise nice day - but none of that mattered.

What mattered was the love these two showed for each other. We were worried before the shoot about the weather and if the locations would be cool enough... but who cares when there's this much chemistry and fun between them?

I've known Naomi for a while now, and one of the most difficult things for me to tell her was that I wasn't going to be able to do her wedding photography. This photoshoot only made me more sad, because as you can see - they are rock stars. They have that magic that makes taking photos fun.

You two will live an amazing life together - and I hope you know you will always have a friend in Casey and I.

Sometimes lucky is good...

... and we lucked out with the weather yesterday. It turned out to be one of the best days of the entire Fall season, and I had a wonderful time taking photos of Jessica and Norm.

Too bad Casey couldn't have been there (she's WAY too pregnant right now!) - because she would have loved to be there talking with this amazingly in-love-and-happy couple.

I actually taught Jessica in high school, and she is someone I respect greatly. She always had a quiet confidence, and had a level of dedication and commitment in everything she did that is rare in students.

She always told me (the optimist) and another teacher (the pessimist) that she would get married to her high school love... and I feel lucky to be the one taking their photos to prove the other teacher wrong.

Jessica and Norm are both amazing people who are destined to make a difference in the world. Good stuff all around, and maybe that's why we got lucky with the weather.

Congratulations, you two.

Alyssa & Kyle

Jerred & I usually shoot engagements together,
but due to some scheduling conflicts and me being
7 and a half months pregnant, I had to miss Alyssa &
Kyle's engagement session. I was bummed, especially after
Jerred told me how much fun it was. I can tell by the
photos how great they are together. Now I'm even more pumped
for the wedding next year!
