the dowell's

theresa is one of my dearest friends from highschool. she organized her family to be in the same place at the same time so i could attempt to get them in a picture, hopefully several. her brother's are extremely entertaining.

they'd just been on a sweet road trip to yellowstone together, minus matthew, so they had lots of new material to entertain me with.

here are a few of my favorites from our little romp around bernheim forest.


a few traditional shots.


pretty.


i can hear the boys ehhhhhhhhh! but i think it's sweet.

my favorite.

& then i really love these next two.


i photographed theresa & jeff's wedding 5 years ago. they were maybe my 4th wedding. ever. so we did a few of just them to celebrate their anniversary!



thanks guys. it's always a good time with ya'll.

ryanne's senior session

i was lucky enough to do her senior portraits while i was home a few weekends ago & here are a few of my favorites. i'm going to let the pictures do most of the talking!

you're beautiful darlin.



i hope you have an amazing year. i can't wait to see what college has in store for you!

kelly & mark's post engagement session :)

the day after these two love birds were married we did a lil session. kelly bought herself some cute hiking clothes & we hit a trail! but first we putzed around the cabins- it's such a cute quaint place without trying to be!

they are too cute.



these next three i love. love. love.

i'm going to order this huge for my studio.

one of my favs!


another fav!



damn. another fav.
our hike ended with this spectacular view.
yummy.

so, kelly. it's time to start decorating your new home :) love you two!

august.

i'm joining the august break -a bunch of photographers who are hoping to blog a photo a day for the month of august. fun lil challenge & since we're staying put for the month (almost) it might be doable.

here's my picture for day one. during a lil photo shoot of my dear friends sarah-anne & stan & their two adorable little boys i noticed this beautiful rose with a single lil drop of water.

happy august!
