nathan & isabelle

last night i got to hang out with two adorable babies. i love doing natural photo shoots like this... it's the sweet slices of life you'll want to remember when they're older & asking for the car keys :)

meet nathan & isabelle. i photographed them while they were in their mother's belly & at three months & now at 7 months they have these great personalities & are turning into such sweet kids!

karl & lorinda

i met carl three years ago at wake & elizabeth's wedding. he was the best man. i was the photographer. when he called me several months back with the news that he was getting married i was ecstatic. i love, love, love it when this happens. there is no better compliment.

i was excited to meet the lucky lady who was marrying carl. lorinda, was this lucky lady & she is one of the nicest people i've ever met. they are great together. lorinda's daughter, kylie, only made this family more perfect. she was sooo cute, you'll understand in just a few pictures!

they met at a doctor's office where lorinda worked & carl was doing his rotation, but they didn't have much time to talk. then later that week they ran into eachother at the park. two years later here we are. so, we of course had to visit this park & i love the pictures we got from it! (this is why its so important to leave some time for the intimate pictures!!!)


the lovely, ms. lorinda.

ms. kylie. i giggled when i noticed this picture :)

the wedding was fabulous. thanks for letting me be there.

we'll have to do ice cream again when i get back into town!

home.

i'm from louisville, kentucky. (pronounced louh-avul) a big city with a small town feel. it's home. it's wonderful & i miss it. luckily i shoot several weddings a year there so i'm never away for too long.

i was there this past week- visiting family & friends & shooting a wedding! The groom, karl, was the best man in a wedding i shot three years ago- i love it when that happens. this past saturday he married the beautiful lorinda & gained a sweet stepdaughter, kylie. karl is so great with her -it was so much fun to watch their little family.

i'm still editing those pics! so you have to be patient just a little longer...

this post is going to be of a cookout my mom & i hosted at her house for a bunch of my friends. my highschool friends are still very close & now they are in the married with kids phase. so- let me apologize for the majority of the pictures being our adorable little boys nicholas & leo, born 6 weeks apart. i just can't help myself.

they're curious little buggers & best friends already. well it's kinda whether they like it or not. but we think they like it :)

mitchell. he kinda smells so no one gets too close ;)


maria, carson & my sister. talking about moving to new york city.


kelly can make nicholas giggle till i pee in my pants. its adorable!


leo & his bbbbbbbbbluuueee eyes. he's attacking me for more banana here.


megan & ryle. megan has been a dear friend of mine since we were in 2nd grade. we use to call ourselves mickey & nickey. but we can't remember who was who :)


my sister stephanie, the bad influence!


nicholas & my mom, margie. it looks like he's saying "whatchyou talking bout willis?"


ruth getting her workout in.


ruth & her husband bryan.


dave & nicholas. aw.


sarah & leo. aww.


my friend, walter, was there too, but he worked the grill & cleaned all night- i hardly saw him, he was such a good maid! thanks walter :)

aww. this place i keep mentioning...

silver bay.


i left stillwater the monday after the wedding & spent the entire day either in line so i could try to get a seat on the next flight or on a flight. my second day of being 26 was not so good! but i knew that very soon i'd be back at silver bay & on lake george & none of it would matter.

my bestfriend sarah, flew up to meet me for a week. we hadn't seen eachother in such a long time- so we decided to rent a car & do a little road trip through vermont. which is my favorite state, ever. here's a few pics from vermont:

it's such a beautiful place!



back at silver bay. sarah & i at the top of inspiration point. one of my favorite hikes.



carolyn, the personnel director of silver bay, my old boss & one of my favorite people from sba, took us out on her boat to watch the '2nd of july fireworks'. it rained. the 4th got rained out as well, which is a bummer because their fireworks show is known as "the best 4 in the north!"


a few sweet pictures from silver bay & hague, the next big town (and by big i mean maybe 200 people live there.)






a very exciting yard sale.


then sarah flew home :( & i had a day all to myself. it started to get rainy & cold- and the hoody my mom bought me for my b-day present came in handy! i love silver bay when it storms. you can watch it come from the north. i was so excited for bryan to come the next day- not only was he finally going to meet this place he's heard me talk about for over 7 years, he was going to see it with lots of weather! (he's a meteorologist & we dont' get much more than sunshine in az.)

here's one of the storms


it's such an amazing place. almost like stepping back into time. there are only a few phones on campus for the guests (usually around 800 people on campus during the summer) & one computer. no t.v.'s! you spend your time doing things i imagine my grandparents doing when they were young: shuffle board, scrabble, reading books, painting, hiking, swimming, canoing. it's wonderful & peaceful. i hope to alway be able to take my (future) children there every summer.

i had a great time playing shuffleboard, b/c it's something i could beat him at!!


my grandmother loved playing scrabble. i grew up watching her play it. it's one of my favorite games... we got a few of the young emps (college aged, summer employees) to play with us. gregs helping bryan cheat... & i only mention it because he claims he won...



bryan became obsessed with the archery center- he was pretty good at & after trying all week he made his goal of getting all five arrows in the red or better.


i hit a bullseye on my first set of arrows, but it was downhill from there.


one morning we stopped to have breakfast at this cute cafe. i don't remember what i had, but it was yummy. i was too busy loving the quaint little building & all of the little details.


it was so relaxing.

bryan has now passed the silver bay test & we can continue this relationship :)

i'm back in phoenix & missing silver bay something crazy -especially since it's 114 degrees. we had our first monsoon storm last night & haboob which is a wall of dust that covers the city very slowly, it's really cool-

i had three great weeks of exciting adventure! now i'm at home for a few more weeks before i head back to ky for a wedding. karl & lorinda's. karl was the best man at a wedding i shot three years ago. i can't wait to see him again & meet his bride!
