I love photographing love, which is why engagements are weddings are so much fun. Even better though is love that is tried and true over the years. Pastor Larry and Ms. Mel are such awesome examples of strong, long lasting love.

James and Genae are "THAT" couple. You know, the beautiful couple with the cool house and the adorable kid and always are so well groomed, put together and fashionably dressed, and still so nice and friendly you can't help but love them through their perfections ;-) (But really, I don't know how they do it, but they do. I need to up my yoga-pants-every-day game a wee bit!)

Micah Benjamin. Bringing home a second little one.
It is such a beautiful things when a new baby enters the world. I can't wrap my mind around just how marvelous of a miracle life is. How do those little babies fit into us? How do they come out knowing how to sleep and eat and breath. I'm always blown away at how perfect these little humans are, straight from the get-go. Being pretty pregnant myself at the moment, I'm just amazed that one of these little guys (in my case a girl) is inside of me RIGHT NOW.

I Met Carla and Oliver back when she was pregnant with her little boy and we took some family and maternity pictures (You can see those here). I love that I have been able to document their family as it can grown. Also Newborns are so magical. I can't believe how perfect they are right from the get-go. God is the best.

Liz + Matt. Engagement along the Mississippi
Liz and Matt were such a great couple to work with. As is normal, they went into the shoot like a lot of my couples admitting they were "not good at taking pictures" and just hoped "I could get a few good ones"
Ummmm, As you can tell from these pictures, they were clearly wrong! Seriously ALL their pictures turned out great!

I had so much fun shooting this lovely preggo and her toddler Fiona! Judah and Fiona are only a day apart in age also, so thats fun. Not only is Melissa a great friend and awesome pastor, she is also a phenomenal harpist.... as in she's-literally-played-for-royalty-in-England good.
She was also so patient while I practiced indoor and low light shooting - something I am still very new at, but so far love!
