Mike & Maria

It was an absolutely beautiful day on Saturday. I was very fortunate to have been asked to help take the lead on photographing this amazing couple. Thank you to Lifetime Image for considering me to help capture this day.

Maria was such a beautiful bride. She is originally from Guatemala and most of her family flew in to help celebrate her wedding day. They were such a lively group and so much fun to be around.

Directly after the ceremony, the couple stepped outside where the clouds had finally blown away and waiting for them were two pure white doves ready for their release. It was a great moment for them and all their guest, especially when they released the other flock of doves that were sneakly hidden behind them.

The entire bridal party was such a blast. As I was placing all the men and little men in the picture....I asked "grandpa" to take a step to his right and everyone busted out in laughter! And yes...he is a grandpa, 15 grandchildren. But they were not acustomed to calling him that. Its a good thing everyone has a sense of humor!!

The day was filled with lots of smiles, laughter and some pretty crazy dance moves =D
All in all, it was a great day and I'm glad I got to share it with two amazing families and two amazing people. Thank you!

Love is in the air

This past Saturday, I had the opportunity to take Sara and Kyle's engagement pictures.  The sun was out, the weather was cool and breezy and there was definitely A LOT of LOVE in the air.  Sara and Kyle has been dating for 5 years, and within 5 minutes of meeting them, you can tell they are very much in love.  There's an undeniable chemistry between them.

Our afternoon was filled with laughters and we had a blast hanging out in the park. Congratulations Sara and Kyle!  We look forward to photographing your wedding this coming November!!!

Welcome to the world, Levi :)

At 5 days old, Levi is sleepy and happy as a ham.  Within a 1.5 - 2 hour span,  he had 4 diapers change, 4+ feeding and plenty of nap time  =)  I even get to experience my very first newborn baby boy projectile... and let me tell you, it's a good 2 feet out.  It was all worth it though.  Thank you Ashley and Luke for spending the evening with me.  Congratulations on your baby boy!

 Their daughter Georgi is a wonderful girl with lots of energy and always smiling. She even gave me a little glam in the pictures!! What a sweetie.

Yumm!!! This was an amazing cake and it tasted so very good too!! Thank you to Lois for making this. 

All in all, the day turned out wonderful. I'm so glad that I could share this day with the three of you. I wish many more memories to come.
