Welcome to Chloe’s world! She is a sweet little girl who has the world in her hand. She has her beautifully decorated playhouse, chicken running about, and very loving parents who love pictures of their little girl. As you can tell this was a fun session for me, a total playground for creativity! I hope you enjoy the images below and that you get a sense of who this special little girl is

I wanted to share a few images from this beautiful couples wedding. Emma was a doll to work with! She was a photographers dream client, had fun, was laid back and up for whatever! Andrew was willing to take the June heat like a champ and was pretty willing to love on his girl for pictures (not a hard task Every moment I spent with these two was so much fun, maybe if I’m lucky they will renew their vows every year!

Hugs to Emma and Andrew!

Emma, I hope the surprise Honeymoon was amazing!

Here is a few pics from a super fun couple! They are always laughing together, it made it so fun and easy to photograph them. At the end of the wedding day Lauren told me she was a photography major in college! I had no idea! Needless to say I’m honored they chose me as their photographer

I had the great honor of photographing these two lovely people. You may remember Whitney who blessed out business for quite sometime by working here, well Heather is her sister! When I found out she wanted me to photograph her wedding I was over the moon! So I’m counting down the days until her September date gets here!

Here are a few from the engagement session~

This is a sweet couple who have been together for years. They have waited for this day for along time so they had a full day with lots of festivities! I posted a few images I worked up hope to have more of them later. I also posted a couple of the father daughter dance, this was one of those dances where you could tell they had a very strong father daughter bond.

Thanks to Christina and Trent for sharing such a wonderful day!

So needless to say this was an awesomely fun session!! I love the style these two have. Heather had on two different dresses one from the 50’s and the other was from the 30’s!  This wonderful lady also happens to be a photographer herself, and a talented one at that!

I really could have shot these two for days, it was so much fun!

Heather and Ryan, Hugs to you and thanks for being as awesome as you are!
