Fall Photo Sessions!!

Graber Family

 

Aww, unfortunately we are late getting this posted and baby Jagger has already joined the world, but we couldn't resist going ahead and posting these gorgeous maternity photos! We adore the Graber family and can't wait to watch their little ones grow...

 

 

The lovely Graber family!

 

Seriously, how cute is Big Sister Hadley?!? 

Phipps Wedding

This is a love story years in the making...Jay and Tanya were high school sweethearts but like many people, they drifted apart and moved on with their lives. Years later, they reconnected and it's so amazing to see how deep and true their love is for each other.

This perfectly captures the goofy sense of humor that this blended family has~such a fun group! 

50 Shades...

Cannot say enough about how much we love this girl~Andrea's fun, flirty, loves fiercely and is comfortable in her own skin, all of which make for an amazing boudoir shoot!!

 I LOVE this photo of Andrea, it shows her innocent side!

 

Let's play ball!

Pretty Mama

Horror Movie Boudoir

I know what you're thinking~horror movies and boudoir...really?! I was skeptical at first as well, but Gwen and Elissa had a vision and I trusted them.  This pushed us out of our comfort zone and we couldn't have been happier with the results!  Not only are they strikingly beautiful, they're also sexy in a way that's difficult to define.  We'd love to hear your feedback!!

The Hamiltons

Hello everyone!  Sorry we haven't blogged much lately!!  We are hoping to give you a ton more to look at here within the next few weeks, so be prepared to be impressed (or at least we hope).  Stay tuned and don't give up on us, because the best is  yet to come.  We have weddings coming up, families and some very interesting zombie boudoir!  We'll let you know!!  Thanks everyone!!

Hernandez/Captain Wedding

 We had the best time shooting this wedding at the beautiful Mansion at Oak Hill. Sylvia and Kevin are such a laid back, sweet couple who love good jam bands, celebrating with family and each other very much. It was a wonderful combination of two cultures and we felt honored to be able to capture the memories of their special day

"Te amo con todo mi corazon siempre y por siempre" 

(Translated: I love you with all of my heart, forever and ever.)

Jacob's Birth Story

It's amazing to me that it takes one action, one little tiny swimmer and one tiny egg and one huge act of God, or whatever you want to call it, to make something so miraculous as a child.  I didn't witness my own child being born, I lived it.  To see the act of child birth is amazing.  It's like nothing I've ever witnessed and I want to see it again and again.  To see Carrie, Jacob's mommy, in such pain, but knowing the result will be a baby, she did it without question.  For Carrie and John, this is baby number five.  Carrie did not use drugs for any of her babies, she did it all natural.  She is my hero.  She took the pain with silence and did so in such a beautiful way, I can't even describe it.  John stood by wishing he could take her pain away.  Jacob was born at 5:47 with one big push, he entered their wonderful family.  When he was placed on Carrie's chest it was such a emotional and beautiful moment.  The joy on her face was like nothing I've seen.  I'm not going to lie, it brought tears to my eyes.  So without further ado, here is Jacob.....

And baby makes four.....

Not really sure I can express to you what these pictures mean to me.  I've been taking my best friends pictures for years now and this is the first time I get to share them!!!  Angie and Allen are so close to my heart, I love them so much.  I made friends with baby Ethan this trip and it made me want to pack up my whole family and move there.  Angie was amazing, she had every venue picked out and they were amazing.  It helps to have someone who knows you, because every place we shot was drool worthy!!  I can't wait to meet the new baby, thank you for letting me part of baby number two's first memories.  I love you guys so much.  

Month 2...

Well, not gonna lie, this month has been rough. I started the month in a depressed state, finally pulled myself out of it, only to find I didn't work out and wasn't eating at all what I was suppose to. Then I got sick, again, off the band wagon. I hated the way I felt, but was determined to get back to the gym. Unlike every other time that I get off track, I actually went back to the gym and haven't stopped. So, yes, I had a setback and I think for sure you can tell. Nothing has changed and I could get down on myself, but instead of doing that I'm going to pat myself on the back. Usually after I have two weeks of bad eating and no gym, I wouldn't go back. I would have just given up and not gone back for a year. This time I'm going to fight hard and I'm going to see a change. Even though the pictures don't tell too much, I can tell! I feel better, I notice changes and I'm motivated to get to my goal.

It's amazing to me the people who have asked about my weight loss journey! I wasn't going to post pictures this month. I told one of my clients that it really wasn't worth it, I wasn't posting. She told me I had to! I had a moment, she was right (Thank you Carina). No matter how hard this is going to be and even if I've failed for a month, I have to keep on and post my pictures. I want you to see that this is part of it, good and bad. Everytime someone asks me how it's going, it motivates me. I've even found that people are asking my mom, which makes me want it even more. It's not going to be easy, but I will do it. I will make everyone proud!!!

Thank you all for the support. AND good luck to everyone on their journey!!
