Julie & Mike

Another awesome wedding! Julie and Mike were so much fun. Beautiful Julie glowed! And oh... that smile... when Mike looked at her you could just see the love--not to mention all the kisses! We navigated our way through the mud from the day before (up to 6 inches in some places near ol' Quincy!) to get some great shots in South Park. I'm so happy we did because the grass was deliciously green. Just for you Julie!!! 

Gerber baby Ryann

Ryann could be a Gerber baby; she was absolutely beautiful! Her Mommy even painted her toenails pink!

Wear it Twice.

Believe it or not, but in my 4 years of taking wedding pictures, not one bride has asked me to do her portraits before the wedding!!! Jenny was my first and why not?!? Shouldn't all brides have the opportunity to wear those fabulous dresses twice? 

Lydia & Ellie

Lydia was the sweetest little squishy newborn. In fact, she almost (almost...) made me want to have another baby now. She didn't fuss--not even a squeak. Ellie, her older sister, on the other hand had plenty to say. She told me all about her beautiful princess necklaces and even sang me a song. Two beautiful little girls!

Megan & Adam

After spending a little time with Megan and Adam, I was completely hooked! These guys were awesome. They were just one of "those" couples... the type that I just get sucked into... you can just feel the excitement and love swirling all around them... ahhhh... take a look and see what I mean--

Did I Mention I'm Behind?!?

Okay, so life isn't always perfect. Yes, sometimes my little guy only takes 30 minute naps and yeap--you guess it... 30 minute naps don't allow for much editing time. Josh is heading out of town for work tomorrow though, and hopefully my late nights spent with the hubby will turn into late nights spent editing for the next week. I have so much still to post, but will have to settle for a short blog for right this minute... stay tuned though... I'll be marathoning at the end of this week!

My Family.

I've been blessed to be surrounded with many awesome friends--one of them being a fellow photographer, Callie Page. I feel she's so much like me in sooo many ways and it was so much fun to take time out of our busy schedules and swap family picture sessions. This was my family's first REAL session and it was a blast! Check them out (and you can check Callie's stuff out at http://www.calliepagephotography.bravehost.com)

Mallory & Brandon

Another beautiful wedding for the books! Mallory and Brandon were married the last weekend of April across the river in Hannibal, MO. We had a great time and the weather cooperated for a quick outdoor shoot (it was spitting rain as they made their exit from the church... but let off as we made our way to the park!) We kept it short and sweet--Brandon was nearly pictured-out (I forgive you... it's hard when you have to do sooo many)--but we got some GREAT stuff! Take a look...
