A little man…  |  Comments (2)

It’s been way too long since I last posted, so I’m going to make up for it with THE cutest little guy in the world.

I had an opportunity to take some pictures of Emmett’s older sister, Elisa, about a year and a half ago.  And I was very excited when I was asked to take some pictures of her little brother Emmett at 6 months old.

This could not have been an easier photo session.  Emmett was full of fun and was non-stop smiles the entire day…

Emmett loved being snuggled into the basket.  I felt so bad taking him out.  Until we found the bucket….

Frosty Morning  |  Comments (1)

Summer is definitely behind us and winter will shortly be upon us.  On a walk with Toby this morning, I was fascinated with the colors of the leaves with the delicate frost left over from the night.

Married: Aileen+Justin!  |  Comments (3)


Aileen and Justin could not have asked for better weather for a September wedding.  I arrived early in the morning to set up and check out the scenery.  An outdoor wedding, an intimate chateau, sunshine, and…love: the day was in the making.  I have really enjoyed getting to know Aileen and Justin over the last year, and I had been looking forward to this wedding for months.  So without further delay, I thought I would share a few of my favorites from their big day.

Ceremony/Reception: Chateau at Medicine Lake
DJ: First Class Dances

Aileen and Justin exchanged letters just before they met.  The entire room was filled with tears as her wedding party looked on.

I really enjoy doing pictures before the ceremony because it allows the bride and groom to see each other and talk a bit before everyone arrives.  I could see how happy and in love they are just by the looks in their eyes.

A beautiful ceremony comes to an end with the perfect first kiss.

Ben + Melody  |  Comments (2)

Ben and Melody are two of our closest friends. So, for their anniversary, I wanted to take some pictures of them and their Bernese Mountain Dog, Spliff. I was lucky enough, as any photographer would tell you, that they were willing to get up at sunrise to take the pictures. We set out to a couple of their favorite spots and the lighting was perfect!

As you can see, Spliff was definitely not shy around the camera…

In fact, I had the opportunity to take a few pictures of him when he was only a few months old.  What a cutie!

For a dog that was born to work and love… we did it all that morning.  There was even time for a quick game of “Who wants a treat?”

After some much needed play time, we took a break for some more pictures.
