Judy & Larry :: 50th Anniversary

Fifty years of marriage. It’s a rare sight in this day and age, but today I was able to see it for my own eyes. Fifty years of marriage involves a trust, a kindness, and a respect with one another that carries you through the thick and thin. Imagine it…sharing 50 years with a person. They know you better than you know yourself. They know your quirks, your fears, your regrets, your passions. Everything about you and your life is wound up in this other remarkable person that you have chosen to share your life with. I am often asked to photograph newly engaged couples…two people at the beginning of their love story. Today I was lucky enough to see the other side. I was able to witness love and admiration pour from a couple that has spent basically their entire lives together. I was also able to see the badgering :) “Do I really have to get closer?” teased Larry, as he lovingly cuddled into Judy. Sorry to all of my other couples, but I think Larry and Judy have become my favorite. They are precious and I can’t wait to see them again.

{they invited me to the mountains…I will be waiting for my official invite!}

I feel so blessed to have been able to capture their love…I hope they love their pictures.

Brandon...I can't wait to spend 50 years with you! 47 more to go...brace yourself! :)

T & J Engagement

I know I am a little behind on my blog as my mom and sister have both made me aware. Love ya'll! Thanks for keeping me in check!

A few weeks ago on a freezing Sunday afternoon, Tiffany and Jake gave me the great pleasure of photographing their engagement pictures. I dressed in thermals, gloves, jacket, head scarf, and more, but Tiffany and Jake toughed it out in only their super cute clothes. It was definitely worth it in the end because we got some great shots and Tiffany and Jake look amazing!

We took a few shots in front of the Bing Crosby Theater, but I am not posting these (can't ruin the surprise for when they send them out!) We got some great shots using the awesome backdrops the downtown buildings provide. The rest of the shoot was at the park where I pulled out glitter hearts and Jake looked at me like I was crazy. An added bonus, I had them lay on the ground covered with ice. :) It was cold, but fun, and a shoot I will never forget!

R & D Engagement

I had the pleasure of photographing my friend Rachel and Danny's engagement pictures. We went to Finch Arbetorum (hope I spelled that right). The trees were beautiful and definitely inspired a few of my shots!

It's cold outside!

This weekend was so busy! Busy for me at least. I had two sessions, and boy am I tired this morning. Now I have to start my "real" job ;)

I photographed a darling little family on the South Hill at Manito Park. The kids had so much energy, and it was a treat to watch how much they truly loved each other. What a fun family!
