Celeste | Downtown

img_6862I’ve photographed Miss. Celeste since she was first born and she has been beautiful since the day I met her.  She came down to the studio this last week and we took a walk aka had a photo shoot … and here are some of my favs …. I think her eyes are amazing and she has such a sweet personality … it was too funny because we were trying to ask her how old she was and she totally thought I had lost my marbles … when truly I would have thought calling the kitty that didn’t exist would have surly blown my coolness!  It was so great to hang with Celeste!

Love | Cool

I absolutely LOVE photographing engagement sessions!  In fact, so much so, generally speaking I never photograph a wedding without having shot an engagement session first … it is purely because I enjoy getting to know the people that I’m photographing and getting to know them being them.  Their true selves.  It’s so fun to just hang and get to know each other and to find out fun stuff like where you met, even crazy stuff like your favorite ice cream!  I think that is what makes the difference of shooting someones wedding and photographing someones real moments at their wedding and capturing the true essence of the day and the emotions … when you take the time to learn about them and what is important to them … you can capture those oh so important things that might otherwise go unnoticed.  It’s taking the time to build relationships that for me, usually last many many years … I LOVE that!

Hansine and Mike … they are just so darn cute!  First of all, when I first met Hansine I knew I was meant to photograph her wedding.  She is confident and sure of what she likes and does not like and I love that.  When she told me that she was having an ice cream and cookie bar … I thought … Oh, I hope she books me!  And she totally did!

In the year that has past since she has booked me I’ve gotten to share many awesome moments in their families lives and I’ve come to almost feel like part of the family.  I can’t wait until this Friday when the festivities begin.  It is going to be so fun!

Here are some of my favorites from she and Mikes engagement session … enjoy!img_4282img_4411img_4407img_4328img_4512img_4652img_4582img_4668img_4690img_4689img_4750img_4711img_4768img_4921img_5348img_5017img_5103img_5399img_5530img_5576img_5125img_5134

Jenni and Bob

img_2297It’s just about every wedding that I cry … seriously … I really love experiencing the love that people have for each other.  Sometimes I get totally caught off guard by the emotion that I experience and on this day it was one of those days.  Bob’s children were such a big part of Jenni and Bob’s wedding, it was really neat to see and after they were married and we were in the courtyard taking photos, Bob’s beautiful daughter could no longer hold back her tears of happiness for her father and Jenni and it took me right back to when my parents got remarried … I wanted to give her a squeeze because I too had felt those tears of happiness for my now happy parents.  It’s so awesome to see families grow.  It was such a pleasure getting to be part of their day and capture their love and happiness. Here are some of the images from their awesome day.img_1735img_1981img_3089img_2640img_9510img_3592img_3585img_9253img_9319img_1989img_2223img_2833img_3774

Simple | Beauty

img_2220I don’t know about everyone else, but it seems lately I’ve been really meditating on the simple things … about the things around us that we take for granted and the things that we really need and the things that truly make us happy … really happy … not just that quick rush of happiness we get when we buy those new jeans or to die for the moment shoes … but the things that really feed us.

Usually I have some time before photo sessions … especially if I’m meeting someone at the park … and lately flowers have really been making me happy.  The are so complex and yet so simple.  I LOVE them.  I have been really enjoying getting to the park early and snapping their simple and true beauty … I thought I would share a few …
