Samantha and Josiah, waiting for July

Samantha and Josiah are such a fun and enjoyable couple to be around. We worked our way around Como park tying to avoid the crowds, which were plenty because of the beautiful weather. We ducked into the restaurant and did a few photos on the stairs and then hit up the old trolley station. I am looking forward to their big day in July when we'll meet again when they exchange vows!

The Junkers

As many of you know, my weekend has been filled with shoots! I am going to try! (try being the key word) to get as many of them up for a sneak peek of what happened!

It was so wonderful to meet up with the Junkers this weekend and do a family shoot for them (One of the first in the Mini May sessions). They brought along the darling 8 week old Audrey. Ohhh, she was a squeeze. Her facial expressions brought us all laughing, and we had a PERFECT day to shoot in.

More to come, but enjoy for now!

One year old Cora and her family

I love shooting kids! One of my favorite things to do, especially when they are in their element!Little Cora had just turned one this past weekend, and she already is turning heads. I had a blast getting to know her little personality and trying to capture it. Here are some of my favorites from the afternoon!Quite possibly my favorite of the afternoon. Cora eating her birthday cake in her birthday suit!

Spring is finally here

On Sunday after a shoot (more photos to come later this week) I stopped at an amazing display of spring. Each year I can't help but stop and smell these blossoms on the tree near my house. The beauty of creation never ceases to amaze me, especially in the spring time. After the bitter cold of the winter, the newness of life blossoms ever before our eyes. The perfect display of the newness of life with Christ. So get out there and start shooting and enjoying...

Ella at 3 weeks

I had the great priveledge of visiting Andrea, Brian and little Ella in their home to do one of Ella's first photo shoots at three weeks. Thankfully we had perfect lighting and I was able to get my newborn fix for the week... thanks Andrea for just letting me hold and smell Ella. She is a beauty!

All snuggled up next to daddy. He sure had the touch, she calmed down just hearing his heartbeat. I love, love this photo. Andrea just kissing her little angel and Brian the protector of thier family. LOVE IT!And she had it here, but still looks as yummy as ever!

Easter Eggs

So I am a little late on posting these, but here are some of the creations that my girls spent about 45 minutes on one day at the table! Here is the process from start to finish!
