Carol’s Grandsons

Carol called me a while back wanting to get some photos of all four of her grandsons together. A lot of things have come up in her life and we had to keep postponing their photoshoot, but I’m so happy to say that I finally got to meet them and that it was totally worth the wait! Get ready for total cuteness!
This is Ranger, he is 3 years old:

The twins: Brady and Chase (I think!)

And last but certainly not least, this is Gunnar:

LOVE this:





Mom jumped in for one:

Thanks guys! It was great meeting all of you :)

      Thank you, Cristi,

      You have given me such a precious gift! “It’s not the number of breaths we take in this life, but the moments that our breath away.” These photos of my precious grandsons take my breath away!

9 kids!

I had such a great time with this family. I think this is the largest group I’ve ever photographed. I can’t believe how great they all were and I had such a great time. What a gorgeous family! Here they are:








All the pretty girls:
The individual families:



I’m sure grandpa will love his Christmas gift! Thanks, everyone and I hope to see you all again next year!

Gary & Jessica

I had the wonderful opportunity to second shoot Gary & Jessica’s wedding for Michelle Meyer. I LOVE Michelle and I’m so thankful that she invited me to come along.

These two were so much fun and so ridiculously good looking! 
The day started at a private residence near Troon North. So many details:

This is Michelle’s aunt, mom and sister:

I love this shot of Jessica’s sister putting this heirloom bracelet on Jessica – which she also wore at her wedding.

Their first look:

I fell in love with this canopy by Jolie Jour Flowers:

Jennifer from Jolie Jour Flowers even made something special for their dog Lola:

Mr. & Mrs. Powers:

First dance:

So many great reactions to the toasts:



Fun times:

Gary dancing with his new mother-in-law. Such a sweet moment:

LOVED their “grand exit”:



Such a fun night! Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your most special day. Michelle, I can’t wait to shoot with you again! Thanks!

Nathan

I was going through and updating my 2008 album (I keep an ongoing online album and print a coffee table book at the end of the year) when I found these pictures of my nephew. They were taken the weekend before I went to Ireland back in August. We all went out to brunch and while we were outside waiting for a table my nephew was playing under the misters:






His little friend that was playing with him left and he looked so sad:
But he got over it quickly and here he is sporting my sister’s sunglasses:

I love this little one in a way that I could never put into words or ever expect anyone to understand. And even though I’m sure he can feel how much I love him, he has no idea how happy and proud I am to be his aunt! Love you, Nate!
