This family was so fun to photograph! We met on St. Anthony Main Street one day for photos and within the first five minutes, it began to rain POUR! We tried to make the most of it and take a few photos under a bridge, but I just didn't feel like I could give them the photos we both desired with weather that crummy. So we did a rain-check... literally. The next day we met was perfect! The sun was shining, it was remarkably warm, and we had a blast! Sheppard is almost two years old and also going to be a big brother next month! His little sister is due in December. We decided to do a family/maternity hybrid shoot. A little bit of everything. The first time we got together, Shep was a little shy, so they ended up bringing the most awesome prop for a two year old- BALLOONS! He came right out of his shell and loved to play with the colorful balloons. He also loved throwing rocks into the river and playing tag with mom and dad. They are going to have their hands full when their new baby girl comes! I am so excited to meet her!

Andy & Joanna {turtledoves}
I couldn't have been more excited to shoot the wedding of such a dear friend! The wedding as a whole was absolutely gorgeous. Especially the breathtaking bride! It was a perfect Autumn Day for a wedding. Andy and Joanna, I am so thankful that I was able to be apart of such a special day for you two.I am even more thankful to call you both friends! Hope these first few weeks of marriage have been a blessing!
Shooting the ceremony in a dimly lit cathedral without permission to use a flash was a bit challenging, but I love the way they turned out!
Emily & Marcus {turtledoves}
This wedding is one of my favorite weddings of the year! Which is pretty sweet because I had never met Emily or Marcus before their wedding. In fact, we'd only ever communicated via email. As soon as we walked into the room where Emily was getting ready, she screamed, hugged me and I knew it was going to be a fun day! Emily and Marcus are such an adorable couple. Their wedding day was full of all the sweet tender moments that you'd expect from a couple in love. And all of the laughter and joy as well. I loved being a part of their special day!
Emily had the most beautiful Vera Wang dress I've ever seen!
