I can't believe later this month, sweet baby Audrina turns 1! I have been so blessed to meet Kenna and Jordan. I was able to photograph her maternity photos, newborn, and Christmas photos! This time, Kenna wanted something a little bit more bright and vibrant; so the symphony park at the smith center was perfect! she bought amazing balloons, and a "number 1!" A new gorgeous dress, and had her "A" along too. we found some shade and it turned out great even though she's not a morning person ;)
i love her little hands, and this ADORABLE dress!
Audrina is such a sweetheart, with the most squeezable little arms and legs!
kisses for mama!
i loved everything about this session and it's been so fun to see this little beauty grow. it was a perfect location! happy birthday audrina girl!
Wowza. it's been a while since i've done a five things post! i hope you all missed them ;)
Many of you know, i helped host a Girls Night Out event with Vanessa Fulcher, a wonderful family photographer here! i'm so happy she asked me even though we lost lots of sleep and brains. Through this event though i found some new and wonderful products! i'll slowly be sharing these through five things.... SO if i don't mention yours today, don't worry! and...you can STILL be a part of Girls Night Out group.. check it out here!
The first is Bliss Body & Bath. i cannot say enough wonderful things about Taleda! (she makes and sells these products and also is a masseuse. um yes. she's awesome.) She gave Vanessa and i special gifts for hosting, and i was able to bubble bath it up and try the body scrub and body butter. i'm not normally someone who buys these products,but one use and i'm obsessed. friends and family... be prepared for these as gifts! and you can have them shipped to you! click on the image below to go to her fb page to check out her fabulous stuff!
The second fave thing are these Sports Beans! i shared something similar before, an energy jelly belly product. these are for after those hard workouts. i only bought one so far.. i'm out! R.E.I i'm coming back.
This third thing is a song, more specifically the artist. this year at WPPI (wedding and portrait photographers International) i had the opportunity to listen to my idol of the photography world, Sue Bryce. she brought Mindy Gledhill with to perform while people were finding their seat. ladies, it's a soft beautiful song and no it's not the right video but it's lovely. listen and let love just soak in. "It's all about your heart."
Another favorite this week is an article i found! 42 wedding favors you'll guests will actually want. super cute ideas! check it out by clicking on the image below ... after you read the rest of this. of course.
and the fifth, is this new lipstick! and by new, i mean my first lipstick. i normally just use lip gloss from Victoria's secret with a pink tint. i didn't leave the path completely but i found this lipstick to apply over chapstick that i'm loving! coral ambition. super cute and summery!
whew! random. i need to share so much more, i can't wait! would love to hear suggestions by you commenting below! tell me what you're interested in learning!
I had the opportunity to photograph this absolutely stunning mama again! We did some family photos last time and i was so excited when she wanted some beauty photographs! (click HERE to see those family photos!)
One of my favorite moments was when her husband called during our shoot. We were at her house and she wanted to make sure he wasn't coming home yet! she casually told him she was studying. i love surprises for husbands! i think he'll LOVE the photos we got.
we started with her in this fabulous dress. i always suggest something you feel sexy in but more covering, so this dress was perfect!
she thought an over the shoulder tshirt would be cute. now because of it, i'm suggesting it to everyone! we got some of my favorites in this!
she did two different looks, and she does makeup, so she did her own. it couldn't have been better!
these shoots are so fun! all women start out unsure how comfortable they'll feel; but with some upbeat music, always end up comfortable and ready to model!
The last image is one of my favorites! Girl, you're just too gorgeous!
All beautiful you are, my darling; there is no flaw in you. -Song of Songs 4:7
Such a beautiful day At Ted Craig Regional Park in California. Brandon and i pulled into the park and without even seeing someone i recognized, i saw the decorations and knew immediately where David and Valerie's Pre Wedding Fiesta was! it was so gorgeous, colorful, and full of the most delicious snacks i couldn't stop photographing (and then eating...)
i had the opportunity to photograph David and Valerie's engagement photos last summer, click HERE to check them out again! I can't say enough wonderful things about these two as a couple, and now that I've met their family how great they are too!
There was not a detail that went unnoticed. Two beautiful (and seriously tasty raspberry mousse) cakes, candies, treats, decor and AMAZING food. Their families came together and really made this event absolutely perfect. They started at 8 am to get it all set up!
these two gorgeous were in just a FEW photos! and i wish i could show them all! there are so many fabulous moments!
mustache chocolates were a HUGE hit! i think i photographed almost everyone who picked up these yummy treats! so much fun!
it was such a beautiful day, full of laughter, friends and family. I immediately felt like family as soon as i arrived, and am so thankful i was able to be there to celebrate this day! I only wish i could fit in that suitcase and go to Columbia to see your perfect wedding day! Congratulations you two, i will be praying for your wonderful marriage.
this is such a fabulous family!- they all start out saying they're not into photos, but even the guys did great! we got lots of smiley ones of the cute kids, and real laughs from everyone. i couldn't be happier!
we met up at Floyd Lamb Park while almost everyone was in town for Easter. You might recognize hot mama Nicole, not too long ago we did maternity photos and she looks so fantastic!
i wanted to keep showing more, but i had to limit myself after a while :) so stay tuned for more on facebook! Here's a few of this fun family who look like their pros at getting their photo taken.
see what i mean? PRO.
I love this couple below. He started out saying how he hates photos, but smooching on his girl and helped, he may have ended up skipping down the sidewalk. maybe. ;)
Look at these gorgeous girls!-including mom too! Such models.
These two are getting married soon!
whew! before kids (and men) got too sick of me, we grabbed a group shot.
I'm so happy with every shot we got, and am so glad we were able to plan it all! I love when families come into town to capture their time together. Thank you all for letting me be bossy for a bit! you all did wonderful!
