Sweet baby K

2010-06-30T21:40:00.001-07:00

This little girl is a miracle.. I know that all babies are miracles, but this one... she truly IS a miracle! She has been waited for, prayed for and loved for a time long before she was ever born!! Isn't that like Christ's love for us.. His word says that He knows each one of our days before even one came to be.. . New babies always remind me of Christ's love for us. Pure, unconditional, whole... simple! Sweet K, welcome to the 'family'. You are loved and blessed - and so are your parents and your big sister!! Thanks Mama for allowing me the opportunity to photograph this moment in your lives.. I'm honored!!

Ryan & Jordana - Engagement

2010-06-30T21:11:00.000-07:00

Wow, wow, wow.. how amazing are these two!!?? I am so excited to be shooting their wedding in September!! This was such a fun shoot for me - they are so easy going and fun.. we laughed a lot - until we thought we had woodticks.. GAME OVER!! UGH!! Thank goodness they were after sunset and we were pretty much finished! :) Thank you for a wonderful evening - so great to meet both of you! ;)

Madison - Grad

2010-06-22T12:47:00.000-07:00

After much deliberation about the impending rain.. oh, who am I kidding.. it WAS raining.. . Madison and her friends braved the mud puddles and rain to get some fun shots together.. how awesome is that?!?! It was worth it because the sun came out and brought with it the most beautiful light!! I love the sunshine after the rain, don't you? Anyway, here is a sneak peak Miss Madison.. enjoy your Graduation on Friday - I am so proud of you!! On a side note: Madison is one of the bubbliest, sweetest, kindest and funniest people you will ever meet.. her smile in contagious and her laugh is infectious! I am sooo excited to hear about all of your new adventures next year as you travel the world!! Like I said, I am so proud of you.. know you are loved and bring joy to sooo many!! *hugs*

Joined by some GREAT friends who braved the mud and wet grass ;)

Not only are you beautiful on the outside, but your wedding day gave me a glimpse of how beautiful you are on the inside as well.

Wedding - Sheralee & Darrell

2009-08-31T21:11:00.000-07:00

Waking up to a very cloudy sky, buckets of rain & LOTS of mud didn't make for a very happy photographer in the a.m.!! By the time we finished with all of the detail shots the rain had disappeared and it turned into a beautiful day!! Sheralee, you were a natural in front of the camera and made my job VERY easy! Thank you for a great, great day! I had a blast with you and your bridal party - thank you!! All the best to you and your beautiful family!

Wedding - Jeff & Meghan

2009-08-06T20:50:00.000-07:00

I know that this probably sounds redundant, but I HAVE THE MOST AMAZING BRIDES EVER!! Meghan was NO exception... . She has to be one of the sweetest people I have ever met! These two were so in love and I loved watching them all day as they'd glance over at each other and smile.. or she would walk by and he'd touch her arm.. **sigh** SO SWEET!! Not only were you sweet to each other but you were sweet to me - thank you!! I wish you all the happiness in the world!!

Wedding - Matt & Tena

2009-08-06T20:37:00.000-07:00

M.I.A

2009-07-30T15:26:00.001-07:00

Sooooo sorry for the lack of posts lately!! I have been SWAMPED with weddings - 5 in the last 4 weekends!! AGH! But, now with a little tiny breather, I will hopefully get some editing started (and hopefully finished) and some updated blogging!! I am so thankful with the most wonderful, understanding brides who realize that although they want to see their pictures, I have a family outside of work as well!! Bless you!!! So, with that.. it's back to editing and album making.. talk soon! :)

Wedding - Shawn & Jenelle

2009-07-30T15:05:00.001-07:00

Ok, seriously??!?!? Talaya, you looked STUNNING!!!! You rocked this shoot... my very first grad shoot EVER!!!

HUGE thanks to my second shooter... you did amazing.. and to mom for your help as well!! Thanks ladies... we'll have to do it again.. SOON!! ;)

Newborn goodness....

2009-06-25T21:54:00.000-07:00

Kara & Nick

2009-06-25T21:20:00.001-07:00

What a fun day!!! These two and their wedding party were a BLAST!! I laughed alllll day! Thanks to #2 and #3 for making my job easier - I can NEVER remember names! :) Hopefully the rest of this summer's wedding parties won't be offended by it! HA!

Kara & Nick, you have a wonderful little family and i wish you all the best... give sweet "I" a squeeze for me!

Here's a few album pages to start... ENJOY!

...first glance... i LOVE capturing these emotions - look how excited she is!!!! :)

I LOVE how sentimental Kara is... she incorporated something from every side of the family into her bouquet. Each broach was from a Grandmother or Great - Grandmother... how special is that?!??!

Weekend solitude!!!

2009-06-16T11:59:00.000-07:00

A few weekends ago, Blayne and I had the opportunity to go to Pinewood Lodge for the ENTIRE weekend - sans kidos!! We had a wonderful time with some amazing friends.. what a blessed and refreshing time! I didn't take a lot of pics - wierd , I know! Anyway, here are a few pics (of the 8 that I took - what??!?!?) The first two are of my beautiful friend - inside and out -I am soooo blessed by her!! And the last one (the REALLY blurry one) is of our fox friend - well, we made friends with it after we fed it some steak!! It's blurry because I was a little frightened, couldn't hold the camera still and was too lazy to grab my flash... it's pretty easy to get into lazy mode on holidays... i know, no excuse....... :)

First Birthday Boy!!

2009-06-16T11:37:00.000-07:00

What a sweet, sweet little boy!! He was hillarious!! It was a blast hanging out with you guys for the afternoon! Happy Birthday little K!

Maternity shoot at the lake...

2009-06-16T11:22:00.000-07:00

What a gorgeous day!! We headed down to the lake for some maternity shots/ mom and son shots. This little boy was hillarious! What a sweet little man! He had a facination with boats - so thankfully some fishermen left their boat anchored to the shore so we could get really close and have a look! :) All the best to you in the next few weeks as you await the arrival of this little babe!

Snowy May Day!!!

2009-06-16T11:08:00.000-07:00

I actually started laughing when I looked out of my window in the morning to find SNOW!! Yup, that's right - snow in MAY!!! UGH!! It was freezing outside but these two braved the weather and we did ALLLLL of our shots outside - with the exception of a little "warm me up" at Tim Hortons! :) Thanks for a wonderful day!

Hockey Fan...

2009-06-16T11:00:00.001-07:00

I've been a little M.I.A lately... soooo swamped!! Sorry!
This little man was a dream to work with... not only is he adorable, he's such a happy little guy!! Mom and Dad were also great to work with - thanks for making fools of yourselves for a the sake of a smile !! :) LOVED the Canadian hockey theme Dad!! Thanks for a great shoot!

New album...

2009-05-21T19:53:00.000-07:00

With every wedding I shoot, an album is included that is layed out much like a magazine and has 99% of the wedding images from the day! Here are a couple of samples of a wedding from this spring... here you are Stacy... Thanks again for a WONDERFUL day.. enjoy your album!

2009-05-05T11:15:00.000-07:00

Finally, a day with sunshine!! You guys were so much fun and so great to work with!! Thanks for a great day!! All the best to you...

Little Boy Blue!

2009-04-24T09:51:00.000-07:00

How beautiful are little L's eyes?? Sooo blue!! My kids all started with bright blue eyes - now they have hazel, green and dark brown... hmmm... Anyway, he was such an alert little man - although we managed one sleepy one.. Thanks for all of your help Mom! Here' s a sneak preview of baby L at 5 weeks!

Baaaaatter UP!

2009-04-22T12:44:00.001-07:00

Ok, so I'm not witty like some bloggers with their great titles.. anyway, this amazing couple had such a GREAT day - other than the weather of course... but it's April, let's be real here!! :) These two did a phenominal job at planning a baseball themed wedding - amazing job!!! They thought of everything ! From the baseballs piled into HUGE vases as decoration (very cool by the way) to the nachos and cheese and popcorn as you walked into the reception hall, glove centerpieces.. seriously, AMAZING JOB!!! I was so honored to be a part of your day Stacy and Trevor (or Kevin... whatever your name is!! :) ) Have a great time in San Fran... see you when you get back!!

This Bridal Party was sooo much fun - you guys are awesome!!

This one is for you Dad!! :)

Oh, I can't forget the invitations!!! I had a blast designing them - they turned out great!! Thanks for everything Stacy!!

I was wrong....

2009-04-17T20:52:00.000-07:00

I was CONVINCED that this little one was a BOY - I was wrong!! She came out alllll girl! There is no mistaking her for a boy - look at this beauty!! We love you guys and your family! We look forward to walking along side of you as you raise your sweet, sweet baby girl!

Miracles...

2009-04-17T20:43:00.000-07:00

Ahhh, a sleeping baby... ! Little T did awesome... with all the moving and positioning that goes on during a newborn shoot, she did AMAZING!!! Not a peep until the end. Her mom and I have been friends since we were in Kindergarten... (that's a LOOOOOONG time ago) and she is one of the most amazing women I have ever met!! We have travelled the world together, done some pretty crazy stuff and laughed until we cried... OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life and the lives of your girls! You are such a blessing in my life!! I love you girl!!! Your family is blessed to have you!

SHE'S here!!!!

2009-03-18T08:40:00.001-07:00

Here's a sneak peak at a maternity session I did a little while back! I love, love, love maternity pics... such a great time to document! Can't wait to meet the little monkey :) Come out baby!!!!

For the record, I DO think it's a boy but will change these if it's not!! :)

I love it when Dad's want to be involved in the picture process - well, even if they don't WANT to...

Dude!

2009-03-12T21:50:00.001-07:00

Friday afternoons Justus and I look forward to hanging out with this "dude". I had my studio set up one afternoon and he asked if I would take some pictures of him ( how many 3 1/2 year olds do that!!?!) he even asked if I would put some gel in his hair - aww! What handsome little "men"! Even J jumped in for a few with his buddy!!

Sweet baby boy...

2009-03-12T21:40:00.000-07:00

How quickly you forget how tiny, soft and sweet smelling a newborn can be!! He is absolutely ADORABLE!!! This little guy was a trouper.. no fussing until the very end! Congrats Jeff & Melissa on your sweet little boy!! We wish you all the blessings in the world!

ONE... huh?

2009-03-12T21:37:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday little man!! You are such a joy !!! We love you!!!

Monkey Business...

2009-03-12T21:20:00.001-07:00

Jodi & Will get married!!!

2009-02-19T12:45:00.000-08:00

What a beautiful day.. what a beautiful couple!! These two are soooo in love - I could see it in the fall when I took their engagement pictures and I could definitely see it now!! We had a "beautiful" February day (kind of an oximoron...) and I am so blessed to have been a part of the day!! All the best to you as you begin "life"!! :)

This has to be one of my top three favorites - EVER!! There's just something about it...

..another one of my favorites.. isn't she gorgeous!

I thought I'd do something a little different.. hee hee.. too funny! You guys were great sports!

... more to come...

2009-02-15T20:54:00.000-08:00

Stay tuned for a bunch of new shoots.. I've been a little swamped here lately ... I am hoping this week will allow me to catch up on a beautiful wedding, a maternity shoot, a newborn shoot and a sweet little 7 month old.. and then there is my own ONE YEAR OLD.. how did that happen so quickly! I'll try to get all of this done soon... stay tuned! Have a great, great long weekend! Thanks Louis Riel! :)

Tiny Miracles!!

2009-02-15T20:40:00.001-08:00

This little angel is truly a miracle! After the dreaded "Triple Screen Test" at the clinic confirmed that this baby was going to be born with Downs Syndrome the doctor gave her mother the option to terminate the pregnancy! Knowing the power of a God who heals, she chose to walk to the road in faith and gave birth to a HEALTHY (in case you didn't get that the first time , it was HEALTHY :) ) baby girl! And they say miracles don't happen any more... humf... the next 11 pictures tell a different story! I love you sweet Erika!!

Engaged!!

2009-02-15T20:20:00.000-08:00

Wow, am I looking forward to this wedding or what! These two are hilarious! We had a beautiful day and had a blast capturing the silliness of these two! Thanks for a great afternoon!! Can't wait 'till April!

Wedding season has begun!!!

2009-01-24T23:37:00.000-08:00

January 2, 2009 - my first wedding of the season! One word... BRRRRRRRRRRRR! It was freezing but that didn't stop us from spending about 2 1/2 hours outside! Well worth it - thank goodness I have studio lighting now though! These two were awesome!! They were willing to do ANYTHING - even sit on the freezing cement (right B?) What a great way to start the start the season. My new resolution ( I won't call it my New Year's resolution because those are just a set up for disappointment... hee hee) is to post pics as they happen , not sit up until 2 am posting 12 sessions at one time...ugh! Anyway, here are my first pics from 2009!! Can't wait for you guys to see the album!! Thanks for choosing me to document your day.. I am honored!!

Baby bump

2009-01-24T23:29:00.000-08:00

Aren't pregnant women BEAUTIFUL!!!! These were kind of a last minute thing - boy am I glad I had the chance to do them - my first Maternity session EVER!!! This woman is incredible - I am blessed to have met her and can't wait to sit and talk with her again! She has since given birth to a beautiful baby girl!!

Baby goodness

2009-01-24T23:18:00.000-08:00

Just before Christmas my cousin came over for a quick Maternity session with her beautiful little boy! Quick little run down... she had the Triple Screen Test done during her pregnancy (it tests for Down's Syndrome, Spina Bifida.. etc.) Long story short, her test came back positive saying that she would have a severely Down Syndrome child! She knew that God had planned for this child to be and ignored the doctors option of terminating the pregnancy. Well, this January she gave birth to a ..... drum roll please.... HEALTHY baby girl!! COMPLETELY HEALTHY! God hears and answers prayers and is STILL in the business of MIRACLES!!!!! Stay tuned for some sweet little 4-day old pics of baby E.

JOYFUL BLESSINGS!!

2009-01-24T23:16:00.000-08:00

... and it only took 10 shots!!!!! Can you believe it??? And no, they are not in the bathtub!! The only one topless is the baby! The other two are wearing white! :) Wow, I love my babies!!!

2009-01-24T23:12:00.000-08:00

I love it when parents want to do special things for their kids... this was one of those times! You were wonderful to work with - just like I remember!! :) Your kids are lucky to have you! :)

2009-01-24T23:06:00.000-08:00

I can't believe I've known this beautiful lady for 26 years!?!?!?! Oh man, the things we used to do. Yikes, we have our work cut out for us with our own kids... uh oh! We've been able to travel parts of the world together... and have many "adventures" closer to home... where has the time gone? Now, she has a beautiful family of her own... how gorgeous is this little girl??? Can't wait for baby #2 to arrive in the next weeks!! I love you T!

2009-01-24T22:48:00.000-08:00

Before you ask... NO, that's not me - it's my Aunt! We get mistaken for each other allllll the time... it's ok for me because she's beautiful AND wonderful! We LOVE this family - if you have the pleasure of knowing them, consider yourself blessed!!! Love ya!

2009-01-24T22:37:00.000-08:00

I love this family!! They are friends of ours and we feel blessed to know them! And how great was it to have Grandma out for a visit from B.C.! I am so glad I was able to get some family moments on camera - although there were a few I didn't get because I was laughing too hard!! Be blessed!!

2009-01-24T22:26:00.000-08:00

I am constantly amazed at the wonderful families I get to photograph! This was one of them! I love photographing parents with their kids and grandkids... what a legacy!

2009-01-24T22:16:00.000-08:00

What a great young couple!! I had a blast with them at the farm... how beautiful is this place, eh? And these horses... WOW! Even Natalya got a ride (which she still talks about). Thanks - I guess we didn't get to those "first snowfall pics" but we'll have to try for some great spring riding pics... :)

2009-01-24T22:04:00.000-08:00

You guys are wonderful! We are blessed by you! Thank you - your joy was overwhelming! :)

2009-01-24T21:54:00.000-08:00

What a great, great family - and FUNNY!!!! You were wonderful to work with and I am thankful for the opportunity to have captured your entire family!! Thanks!!!

2009-01-24T21:45:00.000-08:00

We have been blessed by this family! They are friends of ours and they have 3 AMAZING kids! Thank you sooo much for letting me get a glimse into your life... tons of laughter= tons of JOY!! Blessings on you.....

2009-01-24T21:28:00.000-08:00

An outside -shoot-turned-inside-shoot proved to be just as fun!! With the fall wind howling we decided that taking a little baby into the wind was probably not the best idea! So we headed inside - thanks J & M!!! Little J was such a sweetheart - and his sister... look at her!!! What a wonderful family - thanks for the laughter, I had a blast!!!!

2009-01-24T21:19:00.000-08:00

I was thrilled to be able to capture this family again! Mom and I have known each other since, well, we were born I guess! Now with three kids each I can't believe how fast life has gone by! Thanks for trusting me with this honor - you are blessed! And for the record.. you have some of the cutest kids around!! :)

2009-01-24T21:11:00.000-08:00

What a wonderful family this was to work with... how cute are these little guys? Thanks for the opportunity to take these pics - I had a blast!

Billing family

2009-01-22T20:47:00.000-08:00

Not only was this family sweet, they are also very special to us.. . I was so blessed to be able to do their family shoot... they were wonderful and although it was cold little H did GREAT!! Thanks for allowing me to take your first official family pics (other than the birth announcment ones... :) ) We are blessed by you!

2009-01-22T20:32:00.000-08:00

What a FUN family!! These boys are hillarious! I had so much fun with you - you are a wonderful family and are truly a blessing in my life! Thanks for allowing me to capture your adventurous boys! :)

Two is better than one....

2008-11-24T20:50:00.000-08:00

Look at these twins - so sweet! Their little man was hillarious with all of his faces... such a little character! Thanks for the laughs!! You have amazing little people - with huge personalities - you are blessed!! :)

Donkey's & Wheat Fields..

2008-11-24T20:38:00.000-08:00

These kids (well, one of them is a teenager now - can't believe it!!!) are always a blast to shoot. Not only are they extreemely photogenic, they are a riot!! And, can you believe that they have pet Donkeys?? How cool is that?!??!! I learned so much about them that I kinda wouldn't mind one myself :) Thanks again Mom for allowing me to capture your kids as they are... wonderful!!!

Sunsets, Harvest moons... moments that take my breath away!!!

2008-11-24T19:59:00.000-08:00

"I sing for joy at the works of Your hands"! I was absolutely speechless driving home from a shoot in the valley... (and for those of you who know me, speechless is pretty rare). I chased the sunset for miles only to turn around and watch the most amazing harvest moon I have ever seen! I am still in awe when I look at these pictures... sunset has always been my favorite time of day (ask my husband - I always remind him of how amazing the sunset was...). And they say Southern Manitoba is dull and boring... pfft.. :)

Cabin Fever

2008-11-24T19:51:00.000-08:00

This great family invited me to their cabin in the valley for a quick family shoot.... what a beautiful place they have! So secluded and absolutely gorgeous!! These kids were hillarious too! Thank you for a great time!!

Family & First Birthdays..

2008-11-24T19:32:00.000-08:00

How brave were these little girls on this cold, cold, COLD fall day! It was freezing outside! They did soooo good! And, for the record, can you believe that she's had 3 BABIES!?!?!?!? Amazing! Thanks to all of you for a great time - and for being patient with me as I took you to a bunch of different locations! Happy 1st birthday "A"!!

Lake Romance - who'd have thought???

2008-11-24T19:19:00.000-08:00

What a GREAT, GREAT engagment shoot! These two are so much fun. We had tons of laughs, and looking at some of these pics almost made me cry! They are so in love, so together, so committed to each other, their families and to GOD!! Amazing couple! You should see what she did for invitations - AMAZING idea!!! Can't wait for your wedding in February....

Just in case you're wondering why this picture is so blurry, check out the ring sitting on top of the log in the bottom right corner... :)

We've known this couple since before kids.. ours AND theirs! What a blessing it was to photograph this family - after all, they were the ones who booked me my first wedding (to photograph - in case you were confused as to what was going on :) ) How gorgeous are these girls??!!?! This couple are SOOOO in love and I was honored to have been able to catch just a glimpse of that through my lens. Thanks guys!!

Just a warning... this is a REALLY long post so if you're not up for it.... :) So, if you're wondering what I've done all summer all you have to do is scroll down and take a peak! Yes, weddings,
weddings and more weddings!! I had a blast with each and every couple (and their friends) and feel sooo honored and blessed to have been a part of your day! So now that wedding "season" is almost finished we're on to "family portrait season" - stay tuned for some of those... but not tonight... this blogging thing is exhausting! :) ...

How awesome are these shoes!!!

Beautiful Brooklyn

2008-08-10T21:45:00.000-07:00

My "little" - she's almost as tall as I am - cousin Brooklyn was a mentoree in the Harvest Festival Queen Pageant this past weekend so we took the girls out for some formal shots. Brooke, you looked so beautiful and we are all soooo proud of you!! Hope you enjoy these...

excuse the "noise" in the photo above and the photo below... it was pretty dark at that point and I haven't thrown any of these pics through photoshop yet... they are straight out of the camera.

Church Camp Fun!!

2008-08-10T21:10:00.000-07:00

This summer we had the chance to spend a few days at Manhattan Beach Camp. If you ever have the opportunity to take in a bit of the camp experience... GO!! It is awesome. Great services, great worship, and GREAT FRIENDS!!!! HUGE thanks to the Shelvey's for their amazing hospitality - you are wonderful, wonderful people. Be blessed!

If you look closely you can see the rock that he is trying to skip

(right in the middle of the picture)

poor thing looks like she's stuck in the middle of the ocean...

How sweet are these girls...

Look at those little feet... awwww

I took these pictures while I was driving to camp... total fluke that these worked...after A LOT of pictures of everything BUT the wind turbines (the sky, the ground, the inside of my van...) I finally got a few that turned out pretty good. Not too bad for not looking at the camera AT ALL!!!

What are little boys made of?

2008-08-10T20:57:00.000-07:00

Look at this little sweetheart! I had the honor of photographing little "H" for his birth announcements - how cute is he? His parents are friends of ours and we can't wait to watch our babies grow up together! Congrats Joel & Kathy!

Congrats Kayla!

2008-06-25T13:20:00.000-07:00

I had the privilege of photographing Kayla for a quick 15 minutes or so on Tuesday. She is sooooo beautiful!! I am SO proud of you Kayla and wish you more blessings than you could ever imagine as you move forward from here! Congrats - love ya!

Tiana

2008-06-18T22:05:00.000-07:00

Don't ya just wanna squeeze her? Look at those eyes... such a beautiful little girl! I had a blast shooting little Tiana - and her beautiful sister (who was a BIG helper). Thanks Mom for allowing me to capture just a small part of their lives!

New life

2008-06-06T14:46:00.001-07:00

Aren't new babies just the coolest thing to watch? What are they thinking, dreaming about, seeing. I love, love, LOVE photographing new babies!! Thank you Renee for allowing me to document a part of this little miracle! She is gorgeous! What a gift! Bless you two as you raise this little girl to love and serve Christ!

My Girl!

2008-06-06T14:35:00.000-07:00

Here are the pictures of my little girl that I promised! You'd think by now she'd be sick of me shoving a camera in her face... apparently not! Isn't she just so pretty! :) Love ya Talya!

Aren't these the cutest kids EVER???

2008-06-05T20:24:00.001-07:00

Seriously, aren't these the cutest little kids you've ever seen???
I AM BLESSED, I AM BLESSED, I AM BLESSED!!!!!!!! And besides being so cute, they are the most wonderful little people I've ever met! Who would have thought you could fall more in love each day. It's awesome witnessing their little minds ask questions like "why does that car look mad?" or say "Mama, yous sooos pitty". Yup, I have the best kids ever!

...of course, maybe I'm a little biased! They're MY beautiful little kids!

Can you believe that my 2 year old took this picture!?!?!?

my 6 year old daughter took this picture... wow!

and this one...

and this one too...

Check back tomorrow for pictures of my beautiful little girl! Until then I'll leave you with some silly pictures of my silly girl...(that her little brother took)!

Sweet, sweet Cohen!

2008-06-05T19:45:00.000-07:00

How sweet is this little boy! Such a joy to photograph. I love watching little boys learn and explore - Cohen was no exception. I think in the hustle and bustle of life we often forget to stop and recognize the little things! Cohen was so excited about water, grass, trees, rocks... so cute!

Thanks for being a great sport Cohen - and Mom - and for letting me see life through your eyes... oh to be a kid again! :) Can't wait to see you as a big brother!

giggles... so silly!

Most people discourage their children from playing on the train tracks. Here at Tara Wyton Photography we highly encourage it! Look at how cute he is! ** This event was highly supervised and executed on an abandoned track!! ;)**

Are you sure there's no fish in the pond, Cohen?

More Wedding stuff...

2008-05-27T20:21:00.001-07:00

I have had the blessing of working with the most amazing wedding couples - EVER!!! So much laughter and even a few tears (happy ones :)) Thanks for letting me document this day as you begin one of the most amazing journeys you will ever take!

Would you believe me if I said this was taken at a gravel pit?

This is one of my favorite pictures EVER! After an ENTIRE day of rain, the sky cleared up and gave me the most amazing light for a few quick pictures - I'm so glad it did. Isn't she beautiful?

Wedding season starts

2008-05-27T19:59:00.000-07:00

What do you say about two people who are sooooo in love? What is there to say? She couldn't stop smiling all day. Soooo sweet! It's not everyday that we get to witness love like that! I was so blessed to be a part of your wedding day! Thank You!!!
