Jason and Miriam have been such a joy to work with. They're also a super power-house couple. Both went to Christ for the Nations, and now are doing some pretty awesome youth ministry at BOLD with Bethany Church.

This trip stands out in our memory as being the start of a new season. Newly married we had decided that we wanted to live in the moment, be spontaneous, and embrace the precious time we had together before kids came along.

I love photographing love, which is why engagements are weddings are so much fun. Even better though is love that is tried and true over the years. Pastor Larry and Ms. Mel are such awesome examples of strong, long lasting love.

James and Genae are "THAT" couple. You know, the beautiful couple with the cool house and the adorable kid and always are so well groomed, put together and fashionably dressed, and still so nice and friendly you can't help but love them through their perfections ;-) (But really, I don't know how they do it, but they do. I need to up my yoga-pants-every-day game a wee bit!)

Elkori Fall Family Fun

Elkori Fall Family Fun

It is wild how time flies. This photoshoot was several years ago with the Elkori Family. I babysat Abrisa for several years, and then once Dax was born I would watch both of them several times a week. On facebook I just saw some pictures of them and HOLY MOLY they look like such grown ups.

It is such a beautiful things when a new baby enters the world. I can't wrap my mind around just how marvelous of a miracle life is. How do those little babies fit into us? How do they come out knowing how to sleep and eat and breath. I'm always blown away at how perfect these little humans are, straight from the get-go. Being pretty pregnant myself at the moment, I'm just amazed that one of these little guys (in my case a girl) is inside of me RIGHT NOW.

These guys were too much fun during their anniversary photoshoot! First of all, I love it when people decide they want pictures celebrating love, even if they're not "official" engagement pictures. I had a friend who started doing "Just because I love you" shoots for people who had been married a while but had never gotten the cool engagement pictures, and I LOVE that idea. (hint hint if you never got your dream engagement picts)

I Met Carla and Oliver back when she was pregnant with her little boy and we took some family and maternity pictures (You can see those here). I love that I have been able to document their family as it can grown. Also Newborns are so magical. I can't believe how perfect they are right from the get-go. God is the best.

I was so stoked to have been asked to take some speaking photos of Pastor Larry. If you're not sure who he is, or you haven't heard of him, you should 100% check out him website and ministry by clicking here.  Granted this opportunity only actually came to me because Bethany Church's normal photographers were all booked, but I was honored all the same!
