We had a maternity session the other week, with such a beautiful mom-to-be! There was a threat of stormy weather, so our location changed from a local park to her parents' house. We started off in the backyard, taking a few shots here and there in any shade we could find. Then we rested for a little bit on the patio to cool off. I ventured around the property and found out that there was a railroad track right in their backyard! So, being a photographer, I couldn't pass that up! Afterwards we went inside the house to cool off again (it was really hot, especially for a mom-to-be). That was where I found a huge window in the living room which gave us some great back-lit shots. Very classic. Last but not least, we had some fun with fingerpainting! Caleb & Jamie - Thank you for letting us photograph your pregnancy! Can't wait to see baby Lucas!

Cody & Maria's wedding day went by so quickly, but it will be a day they will remember for a lifetime. We woke up early to go with Maria to get her hair done, grabbed some fast food for breakfast, bought Maria a diet 7-Up and crackers for her nervous stomach, and then headed to the church. Cody & Maria wanted to keep the tradition of not seeing each other before the wedding. So, every room we walked into we'd look for Cody and yelled "Is Cody in here?", just to make sure we were safe to bring Maria in.

The ceremony started right on time, with Maria's younger brother, Alan, playing the piano for the processional. They picked out some very beautiful non-traditional songs. Everything went as planned, except for the "You may kiss the bride", which turned into "You may try to kiss the bride while she giggles."

After the ceremony, the newlyweds went downstairs to the reception hall, where Alan sang and played a song that he wrote for the couple (very funny and cute) and then they cut their "The Game of Life" cake. The new couple then mingled with their guests before we left to take some more photos of just the newlyweds.

Cody & Maria, thanks for letting us capture your special day!

With the weather being so crazy lately, we weren't sure if we would be able to do a family session the other day. There was a threat of thunderstorms for the entire evening, but we decided not to cancel the session. We started the shoot with cloudy skies; then we had a few sprinkles of rain, plenty of laughs, and tons of fun! George & Glenda - Your family is just too much fun! We really loved taking your photos for you and we hope you enjoy them just as much!

My sister-in-law is doing the one thing she swore she would never do... get married. I'm so happy that she is though because they make such a cute couple. We enjoy capturing the love that engaged couples just can't hide. Cody & Maria - The wedding is coming up so quickly! I am so excited to photograph your wedding... Maria you are going to be so gorgeous in your dress!

It's prom season! We photographed a great looking couple on a very windy, stormy Saturday. Just as we started to shoot, it started to sprinkle and then stopped. We took a couple photos, went out on the dock and then the sun came out. Finished the session with dark clouds coming in and no sooner than we got back home we heard the tornado sirens going off in town. Just an example of God's great timing! Haley & Tony - We are so glad that you love your photos! We love them too!
