Danny & Laura

Not even a little rain, okay, the worst storms we've had this year, could dampen the spirits of these two and the happy group of friends and family that came to celebrate their wedding day with them. Everything went smoothly and there was lots of happiness to go around. We even made it outside for a few photos near the end of the night. I love when two people are so happy being together that everything else sort of melts away, and that's just what happened with Danny & Laura. Beautiful couple. Beautiful wedding.

John Stillmunks Opening Reception

Last weekend I photographed the opening of artist John Stillmunk's newest work, "Contempt" at the Dundee Gallery. I've been a fan of Stillmunk's work for a while, and I immediately fell in love with his newest robot paintings on wood. I love the way his painting brought out the beauty of the wood underneath and I enjoyed listening to him talk about some of the inspiration behind his work. His paintings will be featured at the Dundee Gallery through March 25th. Check them out!

Swift Family

Here are a few photos from the Swift family's shoot earlier this month. Brian & Karen renewed their wedding vows on their anniversary this year, 11-11-11 (how cool is that?!), and wanted some family photos to commemorate the happy day. And what a gorgeous day it was. Pretty cute family too!

2 Years

happy happy two years to the boy who has taught me all about patience, love, and soaking up the little things. oh yeah, and dance parties in our pjs.

Julie

It took us a few tries to sync our schedules for Julie's portrait session, but it seemed like all the stars aligned when we finally did. She is such a beauty ~ the first photo is one of my new favorites. I love the breeze moving through her hair, the way the light is so perfect behind her and that great natural smile. She is literally glowing. It's one of those moments when you really capture the beauty of someone. And with Julie, it was easy to do.
