for Ashley.  We are doing her senior photos in three parts.  I’m so excited.  She is such a beautiful, smart, sweet and talented young lady.  And we are so glad she is our son’s girlfriend.  More coming soon!

at blogging photos of my little ones and I cannot believe they just turned 6 mos old! Where does the time go? In the past week between the two of them they have sprouted 4 teeth and are masters at sitting up. We have been so blessed to have so many wonderful photographer friends photograph us.  And sometime this mommy breaks out the real camera and puts down the iphone to photograph them too.  So here goes the great baby blogging catchup. 

I’m going to start where it all began.  The amazing photography of their birth by Josh Solar.  I have to admit there were times leading up to the birth that I questioned if I really could have another person, let alone another guy, in the birth room.  As time grew closer I went back and forth but knowing Josh and Jenny and their total professionalism I decided what the hell.  I even convinced myself Josh could be there without be in all up in my business (so not true by the way).  Even though it’s been 6 monyhs since little Tommy and Sammy arrived, I feel a responsibility to share these photos on my blog.  Because after having gone through having someone photograph the birth, I truly believe everyone should do it.  What a gift to have these photos that are so dear to our hearts.  Thank you so much Josh!  And thank you Jenny for sharing your husband with us and doing the editing.  We love them…the photographs and the Solars!!!

for my good friend Kelley (who also happens to be a fabulous photographer!), Sully and daddy Sam.  Since I am getting ready to photograph them for the third time I thought I better start blogging the first two shoots. One little pic from shoot number 2. I dare you not to look at this cuteness!

from Sarah & Eric’s engagement.  I cannot wait to share more.  We had such a good time, more coming soon!

for Emily and Michael who had the sweetest wedding in DC at the beautiful Andrew Mellon Auditorium.  These two are so in love it’s contagious! Such a pleasure to be around them and photograph their wedding.  More coming soon…

for Julie and Seth who got married in little Eudora, KS at an 100 year old church where both Julie’s grandmother and mother got married.  Isn’t that amazing!  More coming soon…

for Annette and Joe, who got married in Annette’s living room surrounded by family and friends. It was beautiful!!! More coming soon…

So excited to share part II of Annie and Renee’s wedding. It was such a fun celebration. I couldn’t help myself, I’m sure I’ve never posted so many photos from a first dance or a father-daughter dance but these dances were amazing. There was a special bond between Annie and her father and I know how thankful she was to have him with her on her wedding day. Renee and her father danced to That’s All and it was one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen. And the couple’s first dance totally rocked as you can see below. I hope anyone seeing these feels just like they were there. Annie & Renee I wish you a lifetime of happiness. Thank you for letting me be there!

A big thanks to Natalie Moser for shooting this wedding with me! It’s always so fun to work with you. I hope we can do it again next year.
