Lilly & Xerxes are getting married...

I hiked. Yes, me, the adamantly sedentary soul that I am. I hiked. Only Lilly & Xerxes could have gotten this out of me. I love doing engagement sessions at locations that are important to the couple and hiking the mesa is one of their favorite things. It was so worth it! Gorgeous light, so in love, and Lilly packed a picnic.

Of course, the other reason it was so worthwhile is that they treated me to apple pastries after we hiked back down. Lilly is the most magnificent personal chef and I could probably be induced to all kinds of craziness if I knew her cooking was waiting on the other side...

Taylor is Two!

Oh such a beautiful little girl! Stole my heart would be an understatement, truly. And she loves jewelry already! Dad's in trouble...

Amanda & Branden... unbridal

My favorite thing about my job hands down is people in love! It's contagious and warm and glowy and magical. Getting married is the most beautiful time and I feel so lucky that I get to bask in that joy.

We did this unbridal session before the wedding so that they could use the photos to decorate at the reception, which is just the coolest idea. And since the wedding was last weekend I can finally unveil the dress to the world! I loved these photos!

Congratulations Amanda & Branden!

Giggles & Leaves

This is just the kind of session I loooooove! I just adore these kids! We did really fun photojournalistic photos of the family in the morning while they were on vacation - there's nothing better than 2 year old bed hair - and then fnished up at the park. I love being able to play and romp and follow kids into their world. And Luke, Ella, and Quinn always give me the funniest material to work with...

Katie & Evan are getting married...

It's official. I really do love my job too much! I had the best time photographing for Katie & Evan. They are so incredibly, adorably in love. And they were game for anything even as the temperature dropped at least ten degrees and the storm bore in on us. No worries about weather for the wedding... they're off to Mexico!

Congratulations!

Kelly & John... unbridal

Unbridal sessions are turning into my favorite thing. I love getting to see the bride and groom again to make more photos. Kelly & John were even particularly intrepid for theirs. We went back to the scene of their engagement portraits to recreate some photos this time in her wedding dress. But this time we also got to bring along their girls and John even submitted to getting in the water! He's a smart man. With this many women in his life I think he knew what he was in for a long time ago...

It has been a joy to photograph your love story this year!
