The New Me

Felicia and Jed: Engagement Shoot

Felicia wanted to put a twist on the usual engagement pictures, and carry Jed, instead of the other way around. I think she quickly realized he was heavier than she thought, and they quickly switched :)

This is THEM. Purely, and completely, them.

Allie

Allie is a fantastic subject. She's not only gorgeous but she's fun too :) She is an amazing girl! She writes, takes pictures, and makes quilts. She is going through some fiery storms these days, but her smile never fades.

"The gift of a true friend is that she sees you not the way you see yourself, or the way others see you. A true friend sees who you are inside and who you can become."

Erica

My new *baby* came this past month. My sweet little Canon Rebel Xsi, with the most amazing lens I have ever seen. This was the first photoshoot with my baby, but unfortunately my lens had not arrived yet! This was actually all done with a telephoto lens, which really cramped my usual style of getting in close. So many times during the photoshoot Erica would laugh at me as I squealed at seeing the perfect shot, then getting frustrated and stomping pack 10 or so feet. Definitely challenging. I had fun, and am in love with this thing we call photography. :)

Joyfully Hannah

Hannah is a beautiful girl, but even more beautiful on the inside. Her heart is tender, loving, and her life is spontanously joyful. I was so blessed to be able to take her senior (college) pictures for her this past month, while she was home on Spring break. Love you Hannah!

The World Was All Algow

Towards the end of our snowy day, I was sitting inside, and suddenly I could see through the windows, the clouds parting, then sun setting, and the world was all aglow. It was SO beautiful! I stepped back outside for just a few minutes to capture these images.

Snowy Silence

Things got a little crazy :)

Some hushed, still moments.

Feeling so alive, amazed at the beauty of God's creation

Snow is yummy!

Being brave...laying in the snow...
