Couples Session // Mark and Lauren

Do you know anyone that can some how return you to your childhood days as a giggly five year old? Well, Lauren does that to me. I had to apologize in advance to Mark for my possible immature behavior as Lauren brings out the kid in me. I have known Lauren for YEARS, and when I say years I mean since our childhood. We have so many hilarious memories of our childhood especially our teen years as we became closer friends. She has always been a tremendous supporter (and great help) of my journey with photography. For that, I am so grateful. 

Mark and Lauren, thank you so much for allowing me to capture the love you two share. It is certainly a joy to witness! You two seem to share so much laughter and joy and that is truly a gift. Never take advantage of it. 

Enjoy folks! There are a lot of them!

Hello Progress

Dude! Take a look at how much I have grown as a photographer! 

These first photos are from this time last year.

And these are from Spring/Summer 2012!

This makes me happy! ♥

I hope you all have a wonderful day! I know I will!

Family Session // The Rowlands

These kids were so sweet! Seriously. I enjoyed every moment spent with them! We had some good laughs too. Well, they had some good laughs. I guess my evil villain laugh is just plain weird. :) Also, these pictures were so easy to look at as the lighting today was OFF THE CHAIN! ♥ Sorry, I'm a bit ecstatic today for now apparent reason except for JESUS! 

Thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to capture your beautiful kids. It was an honor. They are darling! I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do!

Enjoy folks! 

♥ God Bless! ♥

Good Ol' July

It's the 1st of July! This week we celebrate the birth of our country.

Let's start by enjoying each day and each joy it brings!

My husband and I are anticipating the arrival of my brother and his sweet girlfriend. They are coming down tomorrow. Yay! So we have been cleaning, cleaning, cleaning! Our house looks awesome and very home-like all because of my amazing husband. Thanks baby! 

In the mean time, I decided to make a rice bake (below). Yum! 

Recipe: Brown rice, corn, tomatoes, green onions, garlic powder, orange peppers, kidney beans, pinto beans, chicken broth (I'm used to making it with beef broth but we didn't have any), salt, water, butter, and LOTS of pepper! Put it on 350-375 and let it go until the rice soaks up all the liquid (30-45 minutes).

I baked while Chris fixed our puppy's bed--My husband the sewer! Our puppy Riley just slept during it all, but I guess she deserves it after being outside in the heat all morning! However, I did get her to play with me some later on today. Check out the video I have at the bottom on the post! It was all fun and games until she saw the puppy (herself) on my laptop screen. I think it scared her a little bit! Well, at least enough for her to lay there unsure of what to do. 

♥ Enjoy your Sunday evening! ♥

I bought impatiens not too long ago. They have bloomed so wonderfully until this summer heat decided that it was time to kill them. I had to bring them in because the heat was seriously destroying them! Sad day. So I got to work pruning them, watering them and adding a coffee grounds fertilizer. I hope they perk up soon!
