Andy, Raechel, Luke, Reese, & Webster - Sneak Peek

Jacob, Kaytlin, Osi, & Chinook

This couple is beautiful - and their dogs are beautiful, too! I looooove dogs, so I was excited when Kaytlin asked if they could bring theirs. :) Osi had the cutest bow tie on and Chinook had a matching flower - adorable! The dogs were really excited about having their pictures taken. ;) They wanted to explore and we were mean and made them hold still. My squeaky giraffe came in super handy - they looked right at me! After a few pictures with the dogs, we did some of just Jacob and Kaytlin. They are newlyweds and so cute. Jacob LOVES having his picture taken (ha ha) - but he was so sweet to comply for Kaytlin. It was fun to meet this cute couple - and their cute dogs. :)

Here is their sneak peek!

Elisha, Sarah, & Gizmo

It was fun to see Sarah - and I must admit it made me feel a little bit old! :) My sister used to babysit her years ago...! Now she's married with a cute little puppy dog! Sarah and Elisha are so cute - and even though Elisha would tell you otherwise, he's quite photogenic. :) Gizmo was so sweet - and did great looking at the camera!

Here is their sneak peek!

Mason : Senior

This shoot was awesome.  I ventured out to Mason's hometown, having no clue what to expect.  I wasn't familiar with the area, so I hadn't planned the shoot.  Mason's parents had spent an hour and a half scouting locations for us!  They had our route planned, they had a variety of locations picked out, they had visions for what they wanted... I just stepped in and snapped the picture! :) Mason was great to work with - he was willing to hike through hedge apple craziness and walk onto a sketchy bridge. :) I got to meet his cute dog Durango as well as his beautiful and sweet girlfriend Kelsey.  We had fun - and had great weather!

Mason, congrats in advance!  Enjoy your senior year and good luck in your future endeavors!

David & Taylor

Taylor and David had a gorgeous evening for their shoot.  I love that half their family members are furry.  Smoky and Bandit are their pets.  Bandit is the cutest little black dog!  Smoky is the prettiest gray color... and the softest cat!  I had my work cut out for me as I tried to get the attention of both furry ones at once (alternating dog and cat sounds... you should have been there :)).  I was impressed with how well they did!  Taylor and David, you did great, too.  Ha ha.  We found some new spots, and David even discovered a new type of thorn that he has named after himself.  Glad we avoided those!  Thanks for the laughs... oh, and go Packers! (sorry Taylor :))

Here are my favorites from today.

Jeremy & Sarah

These two are hilarious.  Like make-my-cheeks-and-side-hurt-from-laughing-so-hard hilarious.  They are friends from church and everyone knows them for their bright personalities (and love of all things bright).  You'll see their silliness first hand below...


We had beautiful weather yesterday.  It was hard to believe it was November!  Sarah and Jeremy have 3 kiddos - their adorable dogs, MoJo, Wrigley, and Cubby.  I think I took triple the normal amount of pictures just to capture them! :)


Here are a few of my favorites from yesterday!

Love that Jeremy was willing to do this again for me... the first time was a complete surprise!

A few outtakes... notice Sarah's hand coming up to smack him by the end of the series :)

Don't worry - we got one :)

Chris & Jacklyn... & kitties!

Chris and Jacklyn are very very dear friends of mine. Joe and I have been incredibly blessed by their friendship over the years we have known them. At this time, I had just purchased a new lens and needed to try it out. Jacklyn suggested that I take some Christmas pics for them and they invited me over to their house. Jacklyn and Chris have the most beautiful Christmas decorations! Their tree is gorgeous! We took some of the cute couple (a few where Chris was showing his silly nature :)), then we added their "kids" in the mix - cats Ellie, Keaton, and Lily. So fun! Merry Christmas!
