Without a doubt, I knew this day was going to be fabulous.  I’ve know Sherry for many, many years, and she’s always been on top of style and fashion.  Her wedding was no exception … the dress, the flowers, the venues … every detail was modern and super stylish.

Sherry comes from an amazing family that is so full of love and support.  They are truly a positive, fun crowd, and Seth will fit in perfectly.  Seth is extremely kind and friendly.  He brings out the best in Sherry, and together they are so stinkin’ cute!  The entire day was loaded with blessings, laughs, tears, smiles, toasts and rockin’ dance moves.

Wishing you all the best, Sherry & Seth!  Thank you for sharing your beautiful day.

So much to blog about, so little time.  I haven’t been this far behind on blog posts in … well … actually, never.  I’m going to do something today that I’m not a huge fan of.  I’m going to combine multiple sessions into one blog post.  One of my favorite parts of blogging is featuring and chatting about my awesome clients.  This will just be a condensed version about 5 AMAZING high school seniors.  I love them all!

Meet Lexi.  Lexi will find herself in the big city one day.  I can hear NYC calling her name.  We had the best time roaming the streets. 

Meet Chelsea.  I’ve known this beauty since she was tiny, and now?  Well, just look at her.  Total knockout and so incredibly sweet!

Meet Kayla.  I loved working with Kayla’s long, beautiful lines.  She posed like an old pro.  So fun!

Meet Haley.  I’m so glad Haley came to me for her senior pictures.  I loved my time with her and her adorable mom.  The whole evening was incredibly easy and comfortable.

Meet Lauren.  She’s 100% spunky and fun.  The excitement between the two of us during this session was slightly out of control.  I think we made a pretty good team.

To all of the above beauties, thank you for sharing these memories with me and for helping create breath taking images.  You all made me smile … big.

Many, many more blog posts in the works including a fabulous wedding, two precious newborns, a little rocker boy, and tons of seniors.  Thanks for looking and reading!

Words can barely describe the meaning behind this family session.  This group of individuals is so extremely loving and thankful.  Grandpa is headed into some intense chemotherapy soon, and the family wanted to capture lots of happy, fun and healthy moments with grandpa and his family.  The kids were a total hoot and obviously in love with this man.
