Daddy's girl...

My baby loves her daddy for sure. And I think the feeling is mutual.

it's good to be one...

Happy first Birthday to Jack! He celebrated in style with his older sister Ella. Both made sure I had an exciting morning, finished off with a toddler favorite - Goldfish crackers.

Mr. and Mrs...

Here's a quick peek at Kristin and Peter's big day. Such a fun couple! It was obvious to all how much they adore one another. Of course, I have known this for many months now, as they were my first ever engagement session - and then first ever wedding booking. I've looked forward to their day for the past year - and it did not disappoint!

I love this detail...the lace was from Peter's mother's wedding dress.









May you be richly blessed in your new marriage! Thanks for trusting me with such a fantastic day. And a big thank you to Angelica for helping to capture it all!

Leadership Summit

I had an amazing opportunity this past week to photograph Willow Creek's Leadership Summit, along with a few other photographers (one of which was my super talented former instructor). The speakers were incredible people who have fully surrendered their lives to the causes God has placed on their hearts. I was so honored just to be there, let alone be trusted with their photos! Below are a few of my favorite images...










Bill Hybels (pastor of Willow Creek)









Chuck Colson








Catherine Rohr (P.E.P)





By far my very favorite...

Playing dodge...

Tina and Darren were super sports one recent morning as we fought the biggest army of mosquitoes I've ever seen! I think the first shot was just after one nearly scared Tina to death - we all had a laugh as she dodged the bites.

Congrats to you both on your engagement!

doing some catching up...

Many have asked and I am finally able to do some catching up on my blog! In the coming days, I'll be posting photos from several sessions over the last few months that I've had time to edit for the customer but not publish for the fans. =)

Round one goes to sweet, spunky cousins Sabrina and Alessandra. What a special thing to be able to share your first communion. Thanks girls for being so sweet and fun!



I love the detail in the dress...

I must admit...

I am smitten with these two girls. Ava and Clare are simply adorable. We spent a perfect sunny morning in the park to get some shots marking Clare's first birthday - and her new talent of walking! Here's wishing a second year as special as the first.
