David & Kelly {Wedding Photography}

When I met David & Kelly last year (with their laid back attitude and terrific sense of humor) I knew that this was going to be a fun wedding to capture... and after their engagement session, I knew I was right... this was going to be a blast...


And sure enough... it was! But what wedding isn't fun to capture... But with Dave & Kelly, I guess what I mean when I say fun -- is INSANE, CRAZY FUN! My husband and I had so much "fun" sharing their special day with them... from start to finish, it was incredibly fun... here are some of the images from their wedding day... stay tuned for more... enjoy!

Happy 1 Year Anniversary, Blog!

So a year ago this month, I tried my hand at blogging!  I didn't even know what a blog was, how to post properly, or how to play with HTML... oh wait, I still don't know how to read HTML and all the coding stuff! (A little bit, but not really) Thanks to my high school friend Maria (a super blogger with nearly 1,000 followers), who inspired me to just go out and start blogging! Plus I kept hearing that it was the thing to do for a photographer, to get my work out to the world and to be able to share images with my clients... so, I did... and now, here we are...

It has been an incredible blessing to have met so many wonderful people that shared their lives & their special moments with me... what a year of growth...learning... of fun...and a year of adventure... as a homage to my  blogging anniversary, I wanted to take a look at what this past year has brought me... see all the smiles once again... sweet moments with couples & families... romance and love I captured... and all the happiness I got to share with my clients... and for that, I thank you (truly from the bottom of my heart)!

Here's a look down memory lane...















































I could keep going---but I won't! Just wanted to share a few... thanks for stopping by! Come back & visit to see what the next year brings us.... ♥ me

I Heart Faces {Smiles}

On a day such as today... dreary...rainy...stormy...and a Monday,  no less... sometimes you just need a smile to lift your spirits... either giving one... or receiving one...it makes you smile on the inside...

This week at {iheartfaces}, the theme of the photo challenge is "Smiles"... I automatically thought of a photo I took of my 3 year old nephew... you can just see his big "Cheeeeeese" on his grin -- and that smile has a mix of devilish & angelic sweetness, doesn't it? Which is very much his personality =) this is Yaya... one of my nephews... hope it makes you smile!



check out the other entries to really get you smiling =)
