olivia senior session - concord high school

4/30/2015

What a FUN time I had with Miss Olivia!
She goes down for "most times we've had to reschedule" award. We tried to have her session 3 times in the fall and the weather was not kind. Then we pushed it to this spring and again.. the weather prohibited us 4 TIMES from meeting up! But we won. We had a gorgeous night for a senior session!! She had super crazy awesome outfits and we had fun walking and driving around to find the perfect locations to extenuate her style .

LOVED these playful images!

One thing I love about seniors is that they will do whatever I tell them to do in the name of a good image.
Me: "Hey Olivia, will you take off your shoes and kick water at me from the frigid fountain water while your pants get wet?"
Olivia: "heck ya!" (dh photography paraphrase)

This girl is near and dear to our hearts! She is one of my girls' babysitters! She home-schooled this year so she even had my youngest at home with her a few days.

Casey has THE sweetest heart. She's super kind and so, so good with kiddos. She's planning on going to Grace College in the fall to get her degree in teaching kindergarten. She's going to be amazing. =)

We love you, Casey! Thanks for being so awesome. And pretty. And lovely. And just plain amazing. =)

gill extended family session

up next.. the gill extended family! i always breathe a sigh of relief after extended family sessions... it's SO hard to get multiple families at one so I cross my fingers that the weather is perfect, no one is sick and everyone is happy, happy! And the Gill's were all of that and a bag of chips. well, no chips were involved but they were awesome and it went splendidly!

nothing better than capturing a family having fun together!

grandpa and grandma.. where it all began!

this was a first! one of my clients came from work and didn't have shoes.. so I gave up my flip flops. =) shot the entire session with no shoes. super excited about the fact that my toes were painted and I didn't step on glass. a shoe-less miracle, if you ask me!

I've had a few mini sessions over the last week and have them edited up and blogged!

First up was the Augustine's... man ALIVE these people are happy! And so incredibly easy to shoot!

The Werley boys and I had a ton of fun talking about fartie tootie pants and singing Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.. they left for Disney the day after our session!

Mr. Caleb is just about out of diapers and his mama has been an avid cloth diaperer. She wanted to end this era with a sweet image of him!

And then the Simpson's.. they booked a couples mini session. I wish more married couples would do this for themselves and their kiddos!

carl + lisa's wedding

Guys.
I'm warning you now that there's a SERIOUSLY GORGEOUS wedding you are about to view!

Lots of laughter, beauty, happiness and amazing details. From the first time Lisa emailed me.. I knew I was going to gain a friend by capturing her wedding. And when I met Carl at their engagement session I KNEW their chemistry and the ability for him to make Lisa laugh was going to be golden. Every detail of their day was them. They both grew up on farms and the venue they selected, Amish Acres, was simply perfect. Not to mention THE best wedding food I've ever eaten!

I included a ton of photos in this blog post to fully represent their day.

Warning.. these are crazy happy pictures so if you aren't in a good mood.. you just might be after you see their happy day!

I warned ya! Lots and lots of happy images in this blog post.

If I see a staircase? Better believe we are going to do sexy-mama pictures in it!

I am in love with this simple image!

Lisa.
Could you BE any more gorgeous?

This was one of those run-in-front-of-the-wedding-party-to-get-an-adorable-image moves.

Lisa's parents' 34th anniversary was the same day as Lisa and Carl's wedding. Lisa wanted to do something special to honor her parents so she put on her mama's dress. It was SUCH a gorgeous dress and Lisa looked stunning in it.

After some shots in her mama's dress she put on her own wedding dress.

Her attire included athletic socks and cowboy boots.
#Perfect

Bridesmaid selfie before we start professional pics!

And then it was time to walk down the isle. Their nieces and nephew were too cute NOT to include in the wedding blog!

Let's talk about the venue again..
AWESOME!

Lisa was even laughing during the ceremony!
But this was the COOLEST idea. Both Lisa and Carl grew up on farms so instead of lighting a unity candle or doing sand in a jar.. they brought soil from each of their childhood farms and planted a tree together with it. Amazing idea. Perfect way to think outside the box with a traditional tradition!

So convenient that the reception hall was steps away from the ceremony at the Round Barn.

After an insanely amazing dinner it was time for toasts.

And some first dancing...

And some cake eating.

All in all an amazing day.

brantly 1 year session

This kid.
MAN is he happy and easy!
I've met with them 4 times this year and he's never made an unhappy peep any time. He makes my job easy and I'm sad that his sessions are over! And this is nuts.. he was my last baby packager! I made my decision a year and a half ago to concentrate on weddings, seniors and families and his mama already had his 1 year baby package on the books. He was SUCH A PERFECT BABY to end that chapter of my business! Thanks, Brantley!
