this has got to be my most favorite engagement session to date.
the shoot started off at the home of grace & dustin.
first of all - their house was magic - pure magic!
then we proceeded to riverside/downtown & had some good exercise walking around and laughing together.
despite the heat and wind, this duo brought the amazing-ness!
i thoroughly enjoyed photographing these two lovies.
they definitely brought it! :)

enjoy!

yesterday was a good day.
my cousin/brother got married and all day i kept asking myself, "when did we all grow up?!".
i have such great memories of robert and i as kids.
he was always so nice and concerned for my well being as a child, as we grew up into teenagers and as an adult while we experienced life.
and even on his wedding day, he gave me numerous hugs, thanked me & complimented me.
he has such a sweet, sweet spirit & we've definitely seen each other through a lot.

and now, he's a husband!!!
and i had the extreme honor of photographing his special day as he married his love, jessica.
the day started early as i met jessica as she got her makeup & hair done.
we even snuck in a cousin/cousin-in-law starbucks visit for some refreshments and a quick breakfast.
jessica looked absolutely beautiful!! and i'll forever remember her smiles throughout her big day!!

this was definitely one of the most creative weddings i've been to.
robert & jess made just about EVERYTHING from the centerpieces, jewelry, aisle runner, guestbook, ring bearer pillow, fans for the guests & even their own cake!!
robert & i always connected and shared a common interest in graphic design and creativity in general.
so i was happy to see him meet and marry jess whom is just as crafty & creative as he is. :)
it was so hard to narrow down their pictures to just a few.
so this is the longest blog post of pictures in the history of lyrics. :)

i wish robert & jess all the best in their new life together.
love them.
enjoy!

thanks to my best friend, amanda, i was introduced to her good friends - haleigh & drew!
it's a positively vicious cycle of meeting amazing people. :)

yesterday - the four of us (amanda included) walked about town and photographed the love and engagement celebration of these two adorable people.
can't wait to photograph their wedding this fall!

congratulations haleigh & drew!
so glad we met and i look forward to our days together and friendship!
enjoy!

time flies!!
it seems like yesterday i was just photographing newborn baby, reuben mac!

last week, the agimudie's and i had a fun time being together to celebrate reuben's, "i'm ONE handsome ONE year old" photoshoot.
we also snuck in a good amount of family time.

i look forward to a lifetime of friendship with nick & amy.
as well as more photo dates to celebrate more chapters of their lives.
they mean so much to me. :)

enjoy!

there are those families that us photographers connect with and watch chapters of lives unfold.
the dempsey's are such a family for me.
remember their wedding?
and their maternity shoot?
now it's time to show the world their first family photos.
and it's been such an honor to see it all happen in their lives.

i look forward to many more times with this precious family.
enjoy!
