Winter Blast

Today we headed out as a family to sled down the nearest big hill with in walking distance from our house. It was cold, icy and wonderful! We had so much fun sledding and screaming. :-) I even took my turn down the hill on the sled. In the distance was an old barn no longer in use, so I had to leave my family for a little while hike out and photograph the peaceful frozen winter quiet that had over taken it. Thought I would share my take on today's beauty left by our weather from yesterday.

Candy and Ryan Tie the Knot

On Saturday I spent the day with the most composed, happy bride.... Candy and her joyful family. Everyone had a wonderful time, and the wedding day went so smoothly. The reception was really fun, and everyone had a great time on the dance floor. Here's for a romantic honeymoon, and best wishes for their joyful, loving union. Enjoy their teaser preview....

Braden's two years old!

Today I got to visit my sweet nephew. It's been a while, first I was super busy, then when things slowed down I got a cold and had to wait till I was sure not bring any germs to his house. My sister is expecting his little brother this summer. It was so nice seeing her with that pregnancy glow and her tummy so round and cute! Really I enjoyed getting to take some photographs of Braden it's been so long since I gave him a session. I hope you enjoy these teasers, he's really changed and grown SO much!

The Haglers

My dear friends the Haglers had a sweet amazing baby boy in September. Amanda is a wonderful photographer, and friend. She asked me to photograph her family. So we did two very quick mini sessions, on two days in two locations. This is a post preview, as her sessions were locked while they choose their favorites. Now I get to share a few of mine, in my favorite format an animoto slide show. ;-) Enjoy.

An adoption story

This week I had a new experience. I was invited to photograph/document adoption proceedings. This family is so loving, the joy, tears, laughter had me emotional as well. You could tell the judge more than enjoyed this aspect of his day. He was really interested in the family to be. I created a slide show, you can see the emotions very clearly. The professionals involved in making this happen are in these shots as well, you can tell they are so proud to have been a part of helping a family come together.
