Second Shooting for the Sloans

Last Saturday I had the absolute pleasure of second shooting (actually 3rd shooting) for Matt and Angie Sloan. I've admired their work for the longest time so I couldn't be happier when Matt asked me to come along with them to Andrea and David's wedding. 

So on to the good stuff...

Here's Andrea getting ready:

It took quite a few tries but the girls got the knots just right:

Loved their bouquets:

David getting ready:

Their first look:

Gorgeous bouquet:

The boys:

Their ceremony was so beautiful:

Married (!):

The reception:

LOVE this one:
Thank you so much Angie and Matt! I had a great time :) Andrea & David, it was such a pleasure being a part of your beautiful day. Thank you and I hope you had a blast on your honeymoon!

P.S. If any of you are on facebook, I'll be posting some fun "behind the scenes" on there soon :)

The McEuen Family

What a fun shoot! Three families, eleven people, three kids, one teenager, one newborn and two dogs! And surprisingly it all went incredibly smoothly. The McEuens rock!

Here are a few spontaneous portraits of the little ones:
The very first shot of the day. This one makes me laugh a lot because I asked Candice if she belonged to the family on the left and she said no so I thought I had just gotten confused and placed her in the middle (as you can see below)... Well, come to find out she does actually belong to the family on the left where I had her initially (next to her dad). Good one, Candice!

LOVE this:
Thank you so much! I had an incredible time with your family. Thanks for being so much fun and it was great for me to be able to spend the afternoon with such a loving family. Thank you.

The Krager Family

What's the best thing about having super cool clients?? It's that they refer you to their super cool friends! I honestly can't say enough good things about the Krager family. We met up last weekend and I had such a great time with them! They were so easy going, fun and as you can see absolutely gorgeous! So let me introduce you to the clan:

Here's Megan, their oldest daughter:

This is Morgan:

And this is the youngest, Mikaila:

The three beautiful sisters:

My sister and I often wonder what it would have been like to have one more sister and spending time with these three sisters made me wish I had one more sister. So fun!

Such a cute family!

Cutest Christmas card photo ever:

A few more of the girls:

And one last one of the whole family:

Thanks Jody, Mike and girls! It was sooo nice to meet you. I hope to see you again soon! Don't forget to send me a Christmas card :)

Kennedy (& Carlene)

Is that a supermodel pose or what? The other day I met up with my friend Carlene and her daughter Kennedy. Kennedy didn't want her photos taken but I snapped a few anyways. For the "posed" photo above I asked Kennedy to show me her angry face. Too cute!

Here are some candids:




Mother & daughter:
And in case you are wondering... Yes, they dress this cute all the time! Once I'm big time, I'm hiring Carlene as my stylist.

Thanks, Carlene, it was fun. Looking forward to hanging out with you again, but maybe next time we should try for at least 45 minutes. What' you say? :) 

High School Senior. Aleisha. Gorgeous.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE photographing high school seniors and Aleisha made me love it even more! On Aleisha's questionnaire she told me she wanted a little of everything for her photos "soft, graceful, edgy, trendy, fun". Sooo, we went to work and did just that. We had a blast and I love every photo, so it was hard to choose just a few for the blog. For those of you who watch Stylista,  Ashley was on the losing team yesterday because she was unable to edit her photos down to just a few for the final layout. Big Mistake! So I tried to keep that in mind today, but I couldn't help it. I guess I'm on the losing team tonight.















Thanks Aleisha! Can we do it again?

Very Thankful!

Thanksgiving day was certainly a day to be thankful for. We spent it at my parents' home and just did what we know how to do best: ate, laughed, watched movies, and played.

My husband's youngest brother and grandma joined us this year. Brett flew in from North Dakota and Grandma Pat is in AZ for the winter:




I have the best family and I'm soo thankful for it!
