To Love & To Cherish... | Corey & Andrew's Vow Renewal

 

Wedding vows are not just words that are recited to our soon-to-be spouses, but promises.  Promises of commitment and of love to one another, in good times and bad.  This special couple was married one year ago and decided to renew the vows they made to each other.  It was heartwarming to witness their ceremony as they reflected on their year and how they have done so far (with a few laughs of course!)  Its easy to see the love that shines from them as they exchange glances, smiles, giggles & kisses.  

Corey & Andrew, thank you for allowing me to capture those intimate moments & congratulations (again)!

 
 

Baptism Portraits & Custom Made Gowns

When it came time to Baptize this little girl, no ordinary dress would do.  Remember this anniversary photoshoot?  Well that dress (which was handmade for the wedding) was deconstructed and made into a tiny, gorgeous, handmade Christening dress.  All complete with white gold cross necklace that came all the way from Florence, Italy and a lace & flower headband.  When you look this adorable, you just need to have some portraits taken!  

May God Bless You Sweetheart <3

Merry & Bright!

As the remaining leaves fall from the trees, the temperatures begin to drop, and we see the first signs of snowflakes in the air, we are reminded that December is upon us.  The season's flavors of peppermint and eggnog are surfacing again and there seems to be a surplus of sugar cookies baking in everyone's homes..mmm!  People are decorating and holiday cheer is beginning to spread.  However you choose to celebrate, and whichever holiday you celebrate, I hope it is Merry & Bright!

I had the pleasure of photographing this adorable little girl for her very 1st Christmas photos.  Can't believe she is getting so big already!  You can see her newborn shoot here.  Here are a few images to get you in the holiday spirit.

"Fall" Into the Holiday Season

This time of year can be a whirlwind of events.  From selecting and making Halloween costumes, planning and cooking for Thanksgiving, and shopping and preparing for Christmas, we each have to remember to slow down and spend some quality time together.  Luckily, when you are planning Christmas family photos, you get to spend an afternoon together playing in the park.  I had the pleasure to photograph this special family just as the leaves were changing and before it got too cold.  With the brand new addition of their baby Evan to their family, we got to capture some Holiday Joy.  

Congratulations Dan & Steph, and May Your Holidays Be Bright <3

 


Lilies & Pearls... 30 Years Later, She's Still His Girl

30 years ago, Macintosh revealed their first computer, Bill Murray & friends taught us who to call in Ghostbusters, Transformer toys made their appearance in stores for the first time, and Kevin Bacon danced his way into our hearts in Footloose.

30 years ago, two people madly in love decided to take the next step in their relationship, got married and started a family.  Donna & Frank just celebrated that special 30th Wedding Anniversary together and even 30 years later, we can tell the love you have for each other still shines so bright.  He smirks at her corny jokes, and she occasionally lets him know he's right.  They still laugh and act silly like a couple of teenagers, smitten with each other.  

So here's to you, lovebirds, and the next 30 years.  Congratulations! xo
