Leary Reception

If you’ve ever met Brian & Reshella, you probably know that there is no better woman to handle all that is Brian than Rashella. They play off of each other so well and it is a joy to be in their presence. They tied the knot over the summer, somewhere in paradise, and had their reception at Packsaddle Ridge Golf Club. We zipped around the course on two wheels of a golf cart, laughing and snapping photos.

Jody and Ava

This mother-daughter duo is pure entertainment. I’ve known Jody for well over 10 years and seeing her with Ava is so heartwarming. They are like two peas in a pod. You can’t tell it by the smiles in the photos but on the day of this shoot it was hot outside! By the end, Ava was ready to curl up with her mama and take a mid-day siesta.

Smith Wedding

Donnie and April were getting married rain or shine…or tornado. Yeah, that’s right. On the way to CrossKeys Vineyard that day, there was a dark cloud lurking. I turned on my radio to hear the forecast just in time for that loud WAAMP WAAMP WAAMP followed by a tornado warning for Keezeltown. Didn’t phase April. She was still smiling. It dumped buckets for about 30 minutes and the sun popped out. Men in tuxedos scurrying around, drying off chairs with paper towels was quite a sight to see. Luckily, the rest of the wedding was smooth sailing and the night ended with lots of smiles and lots of dancing.

Troxell Family

I love a good excuse to visit Swannanoa Palace and the Troxell Family gave me just that. There we were – on the top of a mountain, at a quiet, empty mansion on a beautiful sunny day. It was almost surreal. This family made me laugh so much during this shoot that my face hurt. That’s my kind of family!

Ludwig Family

Aaron and Patrice asked me to take photos of their family after I shot a few images  of their daughter at a mutual friend’s baby shower. “If you can get a good picture of Lucy then you must be good,” they told me. *glow* No pressure. Here are some shots from my afternoon with the Ludwig Family.

Brady Family

I will refrain from making Brady Bunch jokes….I’m sure they’ve never been heckled about their last name. I’ve known Tim and Kelly for a while now and there is truly never a dull moment around these two. I was honored to take photos of them and their precious new baby boy.  So much character in such a tiny human…wonder where he gets THAT from?
