Jonathan is One

I had the joy of sharing in Jonathan's first birthday. For his session, he opened presents, had cake and lots of family fun.

Happy Birthday Jonathan!

VanderVeen :: Family

It's always a pleasure to photograph friends. Today, despite the drizzle we ventured out to photograph April & Calvin's family for their Christmas cards. Their girls are just adorable and were in a great mood - which makes my job easier! We went to Indulge Cupcakes after for a little treat since the girls were so good.

What a beautiful family!

Fleury :: Family

This weekend I had the pleasure of photographing these adorable twins. We missed out on their session last Christmas because I was in the hospital on bed-rest with little Noah so I was super excited when Becki called this year to schedule their session.

These two are just too cute!


Gotta love reading upside-down!

Davis Family :: Portraits

I had such a fun time with the Davis family photographing their energetic 3 year old. I LOVE fall color and when the lighting works out this great - it's just a photographer's dream!

A few of my favorites...

Too cute!

Amazing Neighbors

I love our neighborhood! We have some of the most amazing neighbors :) In fact I recall when I bought the house being pretty worried about what kind of neighbors I might have. As a girl living alone, I wanted to know I could be comfortable with the people around me. Well, meet the Backus family. They moved in just after I did (never mind Shawn moving in a washer and drier one night scaring the begeebers out of me at midnight to surprise his wonderful wife Karla before they officially moved in!)

Fast forward 5+ years, and it has been a great joy to get to know the Backus family. They are that amazing "cup of sugar" neighbors. We have fun catching up on life while fixing up our front yards, watch eachother's pets when on vacation, and just plain 'ol love who they are.

This summer in the midst of my wildly busy wedding season, we were able to sneak in a family session. It was tempting to rain on us so we opted for a quick little indoor session.

Reitzug Family

Today I had the joy of photographing my friends the Reitzugs and their family.

Here are a few of my favorites

The group (minus a few)

Wells Family :: Portraits

I love taking photos of kids - such fun! We were blessed with a beautiful and warm evening to take the Wells family portraits in their beautiful back yard(minus the mosquitos). Its always fun to watch kids grow up - their adorable personalities beginning to blossom! I had taken their photos when the twins were 9 months and boy was it a riot trying to maneuver all three kids. It was a bit easier this time, except that the chase was on! What a workout for all the adults involved!

Wow - what emotion!








My favorite shot of the day - lovin' on sister :)

Resseau Family

Aren't they just the cutest family ever! I will miss you guys when you move :(
