It's never too late for pictures in a wedding dress

However this photo shoot was almost two years late, it was well worth it. This is part one of two wedding photo shoots. This one was the more "punk"; short dress, red hair, graffiti style backgrounds, and the second will be delicate.

These two girls act like they're twins, they play together, cry together and scream together. A day with them is always interesting!

Fall is finally here!

The start of fall brings the Apple Festival, petting zoos, apple farms, and homemade applesauce. I can't wait until the leaves turn colors, and the pumpkins are ready to be made into pumpkin pies!

Sometimes we all just need a little chocolate

Had to post a picture of these delicious cookies I made...although I haven't tried them yet. I figure even though I am dieting my life away to lose the last of this baby fat, chocolate is a mood lifter, which means everyone (and I mean everyone) will be much happier when I eat them. :)

Love isn't a strong enough word.

This is my beautiful two year old April. She is the most amazing little girl, she's spunky, loud, and sweet all at the same time. She can be a hand full, but I could never ask for anything else. I love her more than the world.

Babies, Babies, and more Babies!

As a mom, of course I love children. In photographing children, I try to catch that "true" laugh, the loving gazes, and the faces that really make them who they are. The first pictures are of my godson Noah. He is so sweet and I think the calmest baby I have ever seen. I can think of very few times I have seen him when he wasn't smiling. The other little boy is Aaiden. He has grown up with my own daughter, and is such a wonderful little man.

This is a great friend of my Lindsay. Even though she is a (wonderful) stay at home mommy, this quote just seemed to fit hers (and my) sense of humor. As you can see she is gorgeous and was so easy to take pictures of. Her daughter is such a little sweetheart. I have not yet been able to meet the little man who was in her tummy, but in the next few weeks I will, and of course, there will be another blog just for him.

Tiffany is one of the most loving mothers I know. By the look in her eyes you can tell how deeply she cares for her daughter. There will be a post later on with pictures of her beautiful little girl, but for now...they have disappeared!

Graduating high school leaves many mixed emotions. Happiness to be out, sadness for leaving friends, and curiosity for what is to come. This young girl is a friend of mine who has just graduated high school. She has a happy, bubbly personality and is so fun to photograph. I wish her all the best in college, and I hope so goes as far as we all know she can.
