Family of 3 becomes 4....

Towards the end of June I did a family shoot for Nicole and her husband Riley and son Dagon.  I have known them since Dagon was just a little toddler and now he is all grown up and in Kindergarten!  Nicole's family  has grown from three to four with the arrival of little Sullivan (who showed up two weeks after these pictures were taken).   The first word that comes to my mind when I think of Nicole and Ry is 'edgy' and that's the feeling I love to see in their images.

Andy and Erin's Wedding

On July 7th, 2012 

Erin and Andy were married in their backyard with family and close friends in attendance.  It was a beautiful sunny day...perfect for an outdoor wedding.  Here are some very special moments from their day. 

and a little more backlit love...

So you may be wondering what Backlit is, right?  I am here to tell you, actually Jasmine Star one of my favorite photographers will tell you, "Photos taken during those golden hours of the day (just before sunrise and just after sunset) have a stunning quality to them. This light can create dynamic and dramatic effects and changes the mood of pictures".  Now who wouldn't want that for their children and family portraits?

 

 

 



Backlit love....

I recently discovered how much I love shooting backlit images...

 



Jackson...

I'm considering tying a bunch of weights onto his head to get him to stop growing!!

Sneak Peek | Andy + Erin

The weather was perfect for a backyard wedding...you really could not ask for a better day. 

 A late afternoon wedding was about to begin as family and close friends were invited to help themselves to a cold beverage (perfect for a warm late afternoon) and visit until the ceremony started.  Children ran through the trees while a very calm groom (with sweaty palms ;) worked his way to where the ceremony would take place visiting with guests along the way. 

With the promise of love and respect, something about not hurting Max the cat and most important the responsibility of raising Cameron together, Andy and Erin were officially married!!!

Welcome to the family Erin!

 (for those who do not know, Andy is my brother-in-law)
