Here's to love: Kurt & Amy

I headed out to St. Joseph's college to meet up with Kurt & Amy on Saturday, May 2nd, and had a blast hanging out with these two fresh college graduates - celebrating not only their academic success, but, of course, their engagement and upcoming wedding. It was such fun to get to spend a little bit of time with them, and I definitely felt spoiled as a photographer because they were SO easy to shoot. Cannot wait to document their Big Day later this year, on October 9th!

Rebekah J. Murray - Feel the Love

It's not everyday that you get asked to do portraits for a fellow photographer - and an amazing, brilliant, creative one, at that. But when you do, it's safe to say that it feels like a huuuge honor. Especially when that same amazing, brilliant, creative photographer is an incredible and dear friend. The combination of such makes for endless possibilities of fun and creativity....and lots of photos-in-the-making.

Back in April I got to spend a few hours with Rebekah Murray during one of my visits to Virginia, and as is always the case when we spend time together, an adventure was in the making. From researching the perfect trees to make our polaroid dreams come true, to discovering that paint adheres to skin more than one would think, this portrait shoot was an absolute blast from start to finish. Becka's brilliance and vision for this shoot was so fun to work with and go off of, and I'm so excited with the results.

On top of that....who doesn't just love a positively gorgeous subject to work with? Inside and out alike, Becka is beautiful, fun-loving and limitless in her abilities and ideas. I'm truly inspired by her as both a friend and fellow photographer. And I hope you all enjoy the results of our work together as much as we do. :)

Easter Sunday

I love when I get time with my whole family, especially now that the brother is off at school & I'm often traveling & the sister is busy with work. Our schedules don't all mesh together like they used to, so I appreciate when that still happens. A day like Easter, of course, is helpful for just that.

Asher wanted to get some pictures together because it's been a long time since we've done any sibling shots - goofy or serious. The wind wasn't particularly cooperative or helpful for the hair, but there's much character contained in these photos and that's what makes them fun.

I enjoyed a day of quality time with my family and some friends, and a time to reflect on how grateful I am to be loved, forgiven and redeemed by a Savior who's very much alive. Because of that I can live life - all the ups and downs of it, alike - with peace and hope. And that makes it very much a life worth living. So grateful for that. So humbled.

Hope you all had an equally peaceful, happy and fun-filled Easter!

It's been a while!

I promise I've only neglected posting because, well, life has gotten very busy with photoshoots, pictures to edit, trips to be taken, etc.

However, I wanted to share a sneak peek of Steve & Miriam's lovely wedding [which I'm currently working on]...

It was SUCH a beautiful day, in spite of the rain that kept us inside, and there will be more photos to come soon!
