Steven & Roxane's Engagement Portraits

I LOVE engagement sessions and I have been honored to have had the opportunity to capture a few engagement sessions lately. My favorite part of getting to photograph an engaged couple is hearing their story....how they met, what they like about each other, when they knew that their partner was the "one", and of course their proposal story. I LOVE hearing proposal stories. And this couple has a wonderful story. I have to share it (this is the reason there are pictures in front of the Nuart - our city's theater)...

Steven is involved in the Community Theater and on the night of one of his performances he pulled Roxane up on stage during intermission and serenaded her with some guitar playing and a song written himself (can we say SWEET). After which he got down on one knee and proposed. 

When I asked Steven how he proposed he sent me a link to a video of the proposal (hope they don't mind that I share it, I just think it's such a cute proposal and very original) Click HERE to watch video.

When I started photographing these two I kept thinking NO WAY are they old enough to be getting married (when in all actuality I was their age when I got married). I grew up with older siblings to each of them. I have just always pictured them as being little kids. But after we got into the session I saw it, these two are very much in LOVE and ready to be married. I couldn't be happier for them. I really enjoyed our session. and I am happy they asked me to capture this important step in their new journey together.

 Steven & Roxane, I am so happy you asked me to capture this memorable step in your new life together. I wish you the best in your new journey, here is your preview...

Talbot Family Portraits

I enjoyed photographing the Talbot Family. I have been wanting to get my camera on their cute little boys for the longest time. So glad I finally got the chance, they did not disappoint. They both are so adorable. And in just a few short months there will be another little guy who will be joining their family, I am sure he will be just as handsome as the other two. Can't wait to meet him.

Here is their little preview...

Falter Family Portraits

I had a chance to photograph this adorable family. The little girl might look familiar, we just did her 6-month portraits last month.
I was so excited when they asked me to take their family portraits. I have known this couple for a long time and it's been fun to watch their family gown this past year. I feel very lucky they have choose me to capture these important milestones in their life. 

Here is their little preview...

Dalley Family Portraits

I was so amazed at how well every single one of these kids behaved. It gives me a little bit of hope. lol. Every single kid posed and smiled on command....how often does that happen - NEVER. It was such a fun relaxing family session.

The cute accessories the daughters are wearing came from my little boutique. If you would like custom made accessories for your photo session please check out Mystic Boutique on facebook.

Koryn and Lillian

 Happy Birthday Koryn and Lillian!
Today is their birthday and I forgot I hadn't shared their photos on the blog yet...

Koryn and Lillian's mommy is a good friend of mine and I was so excited to get to use all my girly props with them. They had fun playing with the beads and purses.  You would never guess they were twins: one brown hair, brown eyes and the other is blonde hair, blue eyes. Both adorable in their own little way. 

two of their pictures were featured on another blog....for those of you who aren't part of  the "Confessions of a Prop Junkie" group you might not understand how big of a deal this is was me. But to me it was a big honor.

Brooke's 6-Months-old Portraits

Brooke is such a little cutie. 

I had the chance to photograph her when she was only 2 weeks old....can't believe it has already been 6 months! We had so much fun during her photoshoot. I love photographing this stage because they can sit up but they can't crawl away yet, she was a blast!

Here is a little preview of our session:
