I Heart the Details!

It all starts with the youngest at the wedding. These two lovely ladies were the flower girls.

This girl was the "veteran" with something like 3 or 4 other nuptials under her flower studded belt.

The groom's details.

He was a bit camera shy, so I moved on to one of my other favorite things....(macro)

These rings were GORGEOUS!

My two favorite kids of the day.

Ceremony begins...

This girl was one of the happiest brides I've seen in a long time. Made my job super easy!

Of course not everyone was listening to the preacher!

Her bouquet was very unique. Blue hydrangeas and other assorted spring flowers.

Of course they were too beautiful to pass up shooting again here with one of the bride's maids.

Have you tried cake balls yet? They are highly addictive! (But in a good way).

Father and daughter dance.

The lovely couple had a beautiful reception! I can't wait to know what they think of their photos!

04-10-09 Good Friday Was Great!

Meet Shannon and Josh. This is a fun couple I've known for a few years. They tied the knot about a month ago and asked me to shoot their big reception.

Preparations at the salon. Shannon did her flower girl's hair.

"A" is gorgeous and was very into her look!

"L" was okay with things for a while.

A bit of cajoling, a lollipop....

and a good magazine and she was back on board.

Girls, didn't you know, the magazines are the best part of the salon?

All these ladies looked fabulous.

Her maid of honor, Ashley, is ready for her close up.

Moore and Company's hair and make up artist is the best.

Their rings.

The cake.

My favorite flowers...the gerbera daisy.

Thank goodness the weather cooperated and friends and family came from all over for this happy get together!

The lucky recipient of the bouquet toss!

April Senior 2009

"J" is the first senior guy for 2009 for Sky Photography. We started out in the studio.

Some dressy.

But some casual too.

Did I mention he's on the track team? But he's no slouch when it comes to school work (check out the academic emblem).

So yeah, this guy has everything: good looks, brains and a lot of charm.

Not to mention a lot of patience to put up with my silly banter while we were shooting!

I could hardly contain my excitement when we happened upon this open (and empty) train car and probably reminded him a dozen times about "what a photographer's coup" this was. Yeah, I'm a nerd.

Op Love!

Meet Erica and Daniel. I met them for the first time through my good friend and mentor Sara, of Sara's Photo Creations. They came to Sara for their engagement photos (see below-thanks for loaning me your shots Sara!!)

I had the good fortune to shoot Daniel and Erica's wedding as a second shooter last July. Shortly after they got married, Daniel was shipped out of the country. If ya haven't noticed by now, Daniel is in the Navy and still actively serving our country!

Well, this past Monday Daniel got to come home for a brief 15 day stay before he will have to to back. Sara was unable to take photos for this exciting event and she called me to see if I was available. Are ya kiddin'? Of course I'm available for a military reunion! Reunions like this are the VERY best kind!

Okay, so I'm an over achiever and I get there an hour before the plane lands. Erica meets me and we count the minutes for Daniel's plane to arrive. Here she is as lovely as the day the two of them met!

Ever the proud wife...here is a sneak peek at Daniel in her cute little pink Blackberry.

Notice his ring on her necklace.

She took off her shoes to get the very best traction (no reason to lose a shoe while running to met your beloved.)

Okay, I'll just be quiet now while they have their moment.

Yes, more kissing. (I told you....he's been gone for 7 months....)

I think they were really glad to see each other (and for me to disappear! LOL.)

Best Friends Forever

The first of many senior shoots for me in 2009 and this was one of the most fun sessions I've had!

"A" and "R" have been friends since grade school. It's only fitting they have their senior photos taken with back to back sessions.

They were both awesome about sporting some of my hats.

They had no trouble with the glamor aspect of the shoot.

Simply gorgeous!

As you can see I love all things head wear! Hee hee. These girls certainly pulled it off!!
