Ryan & Jennifer’s Maternity Session

Remember Ryan & Jenn?

Elegant wedding…. breathtaking Ever After shoot?

They are back. With a vengeance. And with child.

If I had the choice of one couple to photograph for the rest of my life…. I’m sorry, Brad & Angie, but it would be these two.

I mean…. c’mon!  If I look half as good as Jenn looks when I am 7 months pregnant I will be in heaven! Gorgeous. Gorgeous.  …..Gorgeous.

I have such love in my heart for these two! (…errrr.. these three!)

Sweet baby Zaya was born on September 17th, 2011. She is every bit as beautiful as her mommy and daddy!

Dave & Tracey’s Engagement Session

Today I am sharing an engagement session from this past autumn, and OH! Isn’t this morning light beautiful??? We were really lucky to get one of the pretty autumn days – and I love that we went out in the morning. They call it the Golden Hour for a reason! The first 2 hours after sunrise / 2 hours before sunset give the most beautiful rays of light.F’real. I’d go as far to say that there’s a Golden-Quarter-Hour.  I’m not even kidding. If you are lucky enough to get it, there is occasionally this ethereal 10-15 minutes of honey-sweet light, and baby… it’s a little slice of magic. I don’t get it at every session, but if I could buy it and unveil it for each of my clients, I would!  We had a little-slice-of-magic-ethereal-golden-quarter-hour for Dave & Tracey’s photo shoot!

Thanks to my awesome second shooter sister Mariah for helping out with this sesh! Yes, I called it a sesh…because I can :)

Enjoy!

“And where was I before the day that I first saw your lovely face?

Now I see it everyday and I know that I am the luckiest.

And in a white sea of eyes, I see one pair that I recognize, and I know that I am the luckiest.

I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you.”

—”The Luckiest” by Ben Folds—

Too much! Too much adorable-furry-sweetness!

As if you needed another reason to love this couple…. they are Cardinals fans!

This session took place right as we were going into the World Series and since they are such avid fans… they really wanted to work the Cards in there somewhere.  Enter… the Cardinals blanket. Oh yeah.

Seriously, this blanket is good luck!

Good luck for the Cards (we won… in case you forgot) and we are going to say it’s golden for these two as well :)

Cardinal nation… please feel free to send us notes of gratitude. Season passes will also be accepted.

Congratulations Tracey and Dave! We are looking forward to your wedding this May!

Meeks Family Session – Sandy Creek Covered Bridge

Remember this Maternity session? (One of my favorites, still!)   Meet Jagger James Robert Meeks!

What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life – to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories.  – George Eliot

My favorite portrait…. I would blow this up and hang it on my wall. I love it so.

Such a charming family, don’t you agree?
