jessica & sean

i met with jessica & sean this past weekend to do some maternity pictures & i love what we got. it's such an exciting time in a couple's life & is most definitely worth documenting. so i love it when couples ask me to come photograph their excitement & love before it's transformed into something they can't even imagine!

congrats you two. you're going to make awesome parents & i can tell that you'll enjoy the ride.




this is why i think they'll enjoy the ride. they're so goofy & cute together.
love this one.
so sweet.
another fav.






& my favorite for last... i just love the feel of this one.
can't wait to meet this lil babe this summer! & if she comes a day late, she'll have a mighty fine birthday :)

my girl paige

& her girls, rory & anya, wanted to do a session with their newest family members: nick & fatman. you can see their last session here. i think he has a real name, but this all they ever call him. he's only 2 months old & he's already in 6 month pajamas, so it's fitting really.

here are a few of my favorites.

it was a beautiful evening.

john & monica's wedding

my baby brother is a husband. so odd saying... err... typing it outloud?! that adorable 11 year old that came down to my room & made me study the driver's manual so i would pass the test! that sweet kid that thought teaching me to hit a golf ball at night with glow in the dark balls would make it more appealing to me, which it didn't, but nice try. he's married!! & lucky boy, to a beautiful, kind woman.

they were married on the 12th of february in louisville.

monica & her bridesmaids got ready at hotlocks, a funky lil salon.


air hugs so as not to mess up the hair!


i don't remember what was going on here, but i do remember giggling.




john getting ready.


finn was a stud muffin!!!!!!!!! we were all pretty sure walking down the aisle wasn't going to happen. but some heavy, fancy shoes on his feet & a train in his hand & a mama down at the end of the aisle & magic happens! he very stoicly walked down the aisle, handed johnny the pillow, high-fived him & then gave him a kiss. PERFECT. & then he threw a fit i couldn't hold him & my cousin took him out to the lobby to play.


the music was beautiful.


they're pretty adorable.


monica starting crying here & it was so sweet. john wiped her tears away.


wedding party minus bryan... finn had fallen asleep on the drive over & so he kept driving him around.




i love this one...






the handsome couple!


prayers before dinner.


i painted these glasses for grandma & grandpa miller's 60th anniversary :) very cool that they toasted with them!


first dance!




father daughter dance :)


my mom has been waiting for this moment for 25 years! it was very sweet.


& then the party started, monica & her mom boog-ie-in!






kennedy & finn beating catherine up. i'm sure she deserved it ;)


the infamous cousin dance. we rocked on air quitars with our sunglasses to johnny be good! brad chained a "new ball" around his ankle- it was hilarious.


what a beautiful day! congratulations you two. i'm so very happy for you.
