Blog world, meet Isabella! Isn’t she adorable? 
A few days before Christmas, she decided to make an appearance earlier than her parents had planned! I was so thrilled to meet her and take these photos last week. She slept almost the entire time which made my job way too easy! Here are a few of my favorites..
January 18, 2010 - 8:33 pm - I loved this baby the minute we found out about her! We couldn't be happier for our friends and their new addition. These pics are adorable!

I don’t get a ton of calls for winter weddings so I was pretty excited about shooting this one. I’ve known Jessica & her family for a lonnng time. Her brother and I met in band class in junior high (nerd alert!). Over the past few years I’ve had the opportunity of photographing Jessica’s three beautiful daughters (Brynn, Riley & Grace) and I was so happy when she asked me to photograph her and Wil’s wedding this past Sunday!
Jessica and I were both keeping our fingers crossed for snow and we would have been happy with just a little dusting for pictures but mother nature had other plans. It snowed at least 3 inches and was nonstop during pictures. It couldn’t have been more beautiful though! Jessica & Wil were up for whatever even though it was absolutely freezing on top of being snow covered! I am soo incredibly happy with how their pictures turned out. They’re perfect!
Here are a few of my favorites!

I was so excited to photograph Lindsey & Ryan’s engagements! They drove in from Ohio and it happened to be their anniversary (Ryan had me help plan a surprise dinner and carriage ride downtown for Lindsey after the photos)!
Lindsey happens to be a photographer as well! She found out about me because she currently goes to the photography school that I attended & one of my favorite instructors mentioned me (what up, Mark?!). Of course I had so much fun talking with her about what’s changed since it’s been over 4 years since I graduated! I’m so excited to see where her career in photography goes! Just this week she found out her portfolio passed and she graduates soon. Portfolio was SUCH a stressful quarter. I can only imagine how happy & relieved she is about passing!
Next year I’m photographing Lindsey & Ryan’s wedding in Columbus, Ohio & I really can’t wait (they are one of my three Ohio weddings so far)!
November 17, 2009 - 12:04 am - Ohhhhh sooooo pretty Nicole. I love the one of them walking down the sidewalk. The fall colors are amazing!!! Your field shots are incredible!!! You should be proud that the photography school teacher was bragging on you!!!

Little Charlotte’s mom, Mandy, and I have been friends since junior high! She’s the first of my long-time friends to have a baby so of course I had to take pictures at her baby shower, at the hospital and at 3 weeks old!
Tonight after a wonderful dinner, I had to say bye to Mandy and Charlotte because they are relocating out of the country to be with Chris, Mandy’s husband. Even after just 3 weeks, they have proven to be incredible parents and Charlotte is SO lucky to have them. I cannot wait until they are all back in the states visiting so I can see how much Charlotte has changed (and take a million more pictures of her!).
Mandy – I’m going to miss you guys SO much! Thank you again for letting me share so many wonderful moments with you, Chris & Charlotte! Come home & see me soon!
