A few weeks ago, I was honored to collaborate with a good friend of mine, Emma.  She's an extremely talented musician who's getting ready to do some awesome things!  I'm so blessed to call her my friend :)

kathryn mitchell {2011 senior}

kathryn m - senior teasers

I'm going to admit, this was one of my hardest shoots to date. Except Kathryn was not the problem - I was! We were pressed for time, I left my spare memory card at home (and for the first time, ran out of card space) and we were in a location new to me. But Kathryn was a champ! She's so beautiful and demure; it was a real pleasure to take her pictures. And I can't wait to share more very soon!

The Snyder Family

I love this amazing family. The moved to North Carolina just after I took their pictures last year, but they've become such good friends and I've visited them since. I just returned from a trip there and had a very enjoyable time swimming in their pool and playing with the kiddos! Can't wait to see them again.

Laura Irving: seniors

I am so behind in blogging shoots, it's ridiculous. Nevertheless, here are the photos of Laura!

Cousins!

Tonight I took a visit up to my grandparents house, where my three cousins have been staying for the last couple of months. They're from Colorado; their dad is working and their mom is visiting her family in Asia. We'll all be heading out to Colorado to take them back soon. I'm so glad I was able to take a few shots of them!

it's summer!!

The S Family

A.W.

My lovely cousin. It has been so neat to watch her grow up into a beautiful woman :) I love hanging out with her (and her older sister) when I get the chance :) I have been blessed with lots of wonderful cousins, but A. (and her sister S.) are among my closest friends. I wouldn't trade the world for them :)
