2013 engagements and weddings

I am honored to have been chosen to work with all three of these beautiful girls and their families this past year for their weddings. All three of the weddings were simply gorgeous and so different from eachother. I truly loved being a part of their special days. here are shots from engagements and weddings.

Gracie's in Kindergarten!

Grace started kindergarten, and is doing so well! she is such a smarty pants. We decided on homeschooling because it suited our family best. It is the hardest most challenging, most rewarding thing I have ever done with my life. I love watching her explore new things, and learn. It's been a wonderful experience thus far and we plan to continue on this journey. Also my girl lost some teeth,  the tooth fairy came for a visit and everything! She's just growing up way way too fast!

Gemma Fae {fairy session}

Gemmas mommy has desperately wanted to do a fairy sessions since she found out she was expecting a little girl! I LOOOVE fairies and anything fairy related so needless to say we had a blast during this session.

Gymnastics

My girl joined gymnastics!! She loves it so much and I do too! We have had so much fun practicing together. I LOVE gymnastics maybe more than she does.. hahaha. she also had her first recital and did so well. the group looked so cute on stage. they even gave the girls little medals. She was so proud. and we were too.

Seniors

Here are some shots from a couple seniors I photographed this year. Both so sweet and gorgeous.

Auggie

This baby girl's daddy secretly messaged me after she was born to surprise his wife with some photos. which I thought was just too sweet. I had photographed their son when he was first born and he was just as precious. Little Auggie isn't a "newbie" here but still as sweet as ever. loved her big beautiful eyes!

Horse Riding lessons

After photographing little Carson at the barn he takes lessons at, I just loved the lady who owned the place. Her personality was perfect and I thought Gracie would really take to her. Gracie LOVES horses and I thought maybe she would like to try a lesson. Emily (the owner) was wonderful with Grace and she LOVES going for lessons. after we had been going for a while Gracie wanted some pictures with the horse she trained on. Her horses name is Jewel. she is such a sweet horse. super gentle.. and a little lazy...hahaha which I think is probably a good thing for little ones riding! anyways here are some images of Gracie with Jewel.

Trey Cake Smash session

This little guy had lots of fun smashing into his cake! I photographed him as a newborn and I was so excited to see him again and see how much he had grown!

Back to school sessions

These photos were just for fun. The mood struck us and Gracie and were playing around. they are some of my favorites of her being silly, plus those books are her Great Grandma Morgans books.. some of which were even handed down to her.

Cowboy Carson

A friend of mine asked me if I could do a session of her little guy at the barn where he rides. He LOVES horses and anything "cowboy" and had recently started taking lessons. She needed a few pictures for his cowboy themed birthday party that was coming up, and something to put on an invitation. I also got the privilege of photographing his party as well. It was so much fun, and the decorations were just too cute!! Here are my favorite images from his session and his party.

Gracie modeling Love Baby J

My girl modeling again for the gorgeous lovebabyj!! The dresses this woman makes are just unbelievably stunning. and my girl sure looks cute in them!

Sawyer

This little guy is just adorable. I couldn't get enough of his gorgeous hair and sweet little face!!

{H} Family and {G} Family

Some shots from a couple different family sessions. Both families are just gorgeous and so sweet. I loved working with both of them!

Gracie Modeling for whoopsie daisy boutique

My little got this adorable apron from my friends shop whoopsie daisy boutique. We took it with us up to my grandmothers house and shot it in front of her cool antique stove. I've written about my friends boutique before on the blog. you should def. check them out!!

Maternity sessions

I love maternity sessions... they are quite possibly one of my favorite things to shoot. Here are a few different sessions from this past year.

Saylor Family

Here is the rest of my sisters family taken this past fall. I Love these crazies!!

Norah

Norah is my niece, and she is simply the sweetest. My sister and her family were living in Washington state on the other side of the country when Norah was born. My brother in law served in the army and  I didn't get to meet this precious baby until she was about 9 months old. It was so hard for me to have them all so far away, but now they live basically down the street from me and I am so glad to spend time with both of my nieces, my nephew and my sister and her husband.

Baby Brother { T }

This little stinker is the youngest in my family and he is a spitfire! hes so silly and fun and I was so glad I was able to make some time to photograph him. I just loved his little outfit. such a cutie.

{H} Family

My cousin Sarah and her gorgeous family!

Sleepy squish

Here are a few highlights from some of my newborn sessions that I am finally getting around to blogging. Just laying eyes upon these squishy little sweet faces gives me major baby fever! Loved getting to photography these little sweeties.

Roaring 20's (Oh and Long time no see)

Its been a VERY busy year for my family and I have struggled to keep up with everything and balance work and everyday life tasks.  It was all I could do to just get my sessions processed, so blogging them seemed impossible. I have finally collaged a bunch of my sessions from the past year and will be getting them up on the blog over the next few weeks. there is A LOT so be prepared and enjoy!!

  This is a session of my cousin Rebecca and her family. She came up with this idea and we just sort of went with it. It was lots of fun and i love the way the images turned out. The kids decided it was the worst day of their lives and were a little uncooperative! but thats ok we still had fun and got some great images.
