Bridal Shower {Karyn}

Even when I'm the guest of honor I still have my camera in hand to take some shots.

And these showcase samples of what you could expect if I was hired for an event such as a birthday, bridal shower, baby shower and much more.

These two shots were taken by my mother, but the rest showcase my work.

Above: Just me with the practice bouquet made by Page (my sister-in-law and bridesmaid).

Below: With my Maid-of-Honor and three bridesmaids.


In the place of cake the girls made/decorate these cute little cupcakes with two different purples (although the one looks pink here) with sparkle white ball sprinkles wrapped in sliver foil (since my colors are purple and sliver).



My sister-in-law displaying the winning TP wedding dress with it's pick-ups and and bling.


A vase with some sliver branches had these little tags hanging where guests could give marriage advise for the couple.


Again the cupcakes with the crown paper around them that my sister-in-law Page made to give it a Princess feel.


The maid of honor (back) Erika and hostess Tara showcasing the game board of matching the Disney couples. The theme was Disney with an elegant feel.


The party favors -- a handmade coaster with some tea.



Here is the tree branches with the tags of advise.


Peanut butter chocolate chip apple sandwiches were just one of them any food items for the brunch.

Daddy & Me {Jonathan & Jewels}

So I did a Daddy & Me session with Jonathan and Jewels the other day at the lake and used many shots with a vintage feel.

This also includes MANY shots of Jewels and her cuteness without daddy.



I loved her facial expression in the shot below.



On the swings.


Tired at the end of the shoot.



Playing with the flowers. I took quite a few of these with different angles and different parts in focus.










She was upset about not being able to do something, but with her eyes just a little bit watery it was too cute to pass up.



And back to the flower





We had a little fun with the trees.









Getting ready to hit daddy with the tree branch.

Corey & Jewels {Friends}



I was only able to get the two shots the pair together the other day. Corey kept going back and fourth about wanting his photo taken, while Jewels will stand wherever you want her and pose for a how long you need her.


I love both of these shots though and I'm so glad we were able to get them on that fun day at the Lake.

Sneak Peek {Daddy & Me}

When I do session with a father and child or mother and child or even grandparent and child I loved the concept of calling it a "Daddy & Me," "Mommy & Me," "Grandma & Me" and so on sessions.

Jonathan is one of the hardest people to shoot where Jewels is one of the easiest, but I think I got some good ones of the pair together.

This is one of my faves and Jonathan's mother loved this shot of him.

More to come: Daddy & Me; Ports; End of Summer Event; Bridal shower; Family session.

Introducing: Corey

I shot little Mr. Corey the other day at the lake and the bulk of the photos have the edit "golden vintage" since his mother said she liked it the most.



























Sometimes it was hard to get him to pose or even sit still, but I think it turned out ok. I also have some shots of Corey with his friend Jewels.




More to come: Daddy and me; Corey & Jewels; bridal shower; new family session.
