Amelia: 1 year old Cake Smash

the very first newborn I shot turned 1 this month!!

I can't believe it!!

and she is growing up to be such a beautiful little girl!!

So another first for me...

we managed to pull off a "cake smash" photo shoot

and it was an absolute BLAST!

Amelia just LOVED it!

Besides the extremely crazy windy day (proof below)

Amelia shined and the pictures turned out wonderful!

I HAD to post this picture, it made me smile and was proof at how windy it was that day!! Amelia had a ball though!

Happy 1st Birthday Amelia!!

Kaylee and Evan's Rehearsal Dinner

I graduated from High School with Kaylee and Evan,

who got married a few years ago, but never got the opportunity 

to have a big wedding and reception because Evan joined the Navy...

Well, they FINALLY got the opportunity to come home (they live in Hawaii now)

to renew their vows and celebrate with their friends and family here in Minnesota!

I had the amazing and awesome opportunity to re-connect with these

two wonderful people and shoot their rehearsal dinner!!

Plus, they were renewing their vows in the same church 

that I'm getting married in NEXT year!! 

So you can only imagine how EXCITED I was to be asked to document this :)

Beautiful Couple, Beautiful Church, Beautiful People and a Beautiful Dinner.

Cheers to Kaylee and Evan, 

thank you so much for including me in your wedding weekend

and I hope that everything went well on your big day!!

  

 

Lisa & Adam: Expecting Oct. 2012

Had the most awesome opportunity to not only

travel to my favorite city in the entire world,

but to shoot my first ever maternity session!!

Lisa, whom I went to nursing school with, and her hubby Adam

were gracious enough to ask me to document this fun time in their lives!

We met at the Memorial Union Terrace (oh how I miss that place...) 

and then ventured over to Bascom Hill, another staple at UW-Madison!

Congratulations Lisa & Adam!!

Cassie: 9 months

Time again for little Miss Cassie!!

She's growing up SO FAST

and is adorable as ever!!

It was so much fun this time because we ventured over to

Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis!

It was an absolutely beautiful day

and she was as smiley and photogenic as ever!

Here is a sneak peak at Cassie's 9 month session...
