Side Smiles Are Charming...

Boy, oh boy am I behind with blog posts! Oh, well I know you still love me! 

Today I'm posting a senior session I did with a dear friends son. The night we went out was bbbbbbbrisk...but beautiful. It was an excursion adventure with several locations and ending with dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, San Chez. This shoot was a lot of fun even though I hadn't ever really met her son. He was quietly compliant and has the greatest side smile. I kept calling him Marlboro Man. Not because he had on chaps, or was riding a horse, or smoking! But because he has a quiet, confidence with which he carries himself, and of course the side smile. Now on to Marlboro Man. 

First up a hint of the side smile, this is actually where I first noticed it. 

Soft side smile alert.........

Full blown side smile...

And that's a wrap! 

Happy Wednesday! 

Happy Birthday to Ruby!

Saturday was a special day! Ruby turned three! In typical fashion  her mom and dad threw her a birthday bash with people of all sizes and ages. It was SUPER fun! 

Here's little bits from the partay...

So serious....it's party time kids! 

So excited for cake that a spontaneous dance party broke out in the younger set!  

Which is highly entertaining for the older set...

Happy Birthday Ruby! 

SUPER Fun Family Alert!

Earlier this Fall I had the honor of taking photos of a SUPER fun, good looking and CRAZY family! All the kids surprised their mom & dad with a family session. The reason for the surprise is so touching that I just can't not tell you about it. On Valentine's Day in 2012 this couple lost their home in a fire. Yes, you read that right Valentine's Day! Most all their beloved belongings went up in smoke along with their beautiful home that they'd built and loved. It was such a huge loss for them, for their whole family. It was quite the ordeal. I am happy to announce that within the past two weeks they have moved back into their now rebuilt home. The kids scheduled this family session as a surprise for the mom and dad so they could hang a new family photo on the walls of their new home. So cool, right? Tears....joy....love....and restoration! 

Let's get to the photos! 

Hope your Sunday was filled with family, fun, and crazy good times! 

The Little Princess...

I took photos of this little princess when she was an infant so I was overjoyed when her mom asked me to do her one year session! Get ready for the princess cuteness...breathe deeply...in and out, slowly...in... and... out...ok...we're ready now here we go! 

Princesses get to wear super cute tiaras! 

 And cute dresses...with pearls! 

 They're so cute and happy that they clap for no reason...

 And just look all royal and stuff...

 Princesses like to read to their royal subjects...

 They get to drive Princess mobiles...

 The royal family...who are super nice! 

 Princesses think that trees and leaves are magical...because they are! 

 She's thinking about the magic of the trees...and being a princess. It's a lot to think about! 

 Princess bubbles...

 Another deep princess thought...about the beauty of bubbles! 

 Cute chubby princess legs...

 Even a princess needs to cry sometimes...

Oh the life of a princess! Who knew it was so SUPER cute! 

Happy Fall!

A Match Made In Heaven...

This post is long overdue so let's get in it! On Labor Day weekend I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of two love birds Brennen and Alyssa. Brennen is smart, funny, and so kind! He met and fell in love with Alyssa who is smart, funny, and so kind! They met through a mutual friend who thought they'd be a good hook-up. Turns out she was right! They are a match made in Heaven! 

Congrats Brennen and Alyssa! I'm so happy that you found each other! 

Happy Sunday Ya'll!!!!!
