I Heart Faces - Pink Week

| | 7 comments »


With two daughters it's easy to find pink pictures, but I just got back from a weekend at my parents house, so I had a ton of new pics to go through. This one is from our visit to the pumpkin patch. Vivian had a blast and I even got some smiles out of the girl! I love when she wears a hood or a hat because then the focus is only on her gorgeous face!

I Heart Faces - Excited!

| | 2 comments »
When I saw the theme for this week I just knew which photo I wanted to use. A few days ago I got this picture of Viv playing on the swingset and she was doing her "excited" face. She closes her eyes really really tight and purses her lips, it's too hilarious! To join in on I Heart Faces go to www.iheartfaces.com.

I decided on this picture of a great couple I took engagement pictures of because of their amazing blue eyes! It's almost the exact same shade of blue! What a beautiful couple!

I Heart Faces - Candid

| | 10 comments »

This is my favorite moment during weddings, it's the most exciting moment in my opinion. Better than the I Do's and the kiss. It's the moment when they are finally relaxed, everything is official and they truly feel like a married couple. It's my favorite moment as a wedding photographer to capture. Just take a look at their faces, that's love! To join in or to see other candid moments, go to I Heart Faces.

Contemplative

This is a picture I took of my husband Matt at my parents farm. We were doing some shots for his website and this one was our favorite! You just can't beat a tire swing!


Pets This is my dog Ollie a few years ago when he was still a puppy. I can't believe how different he looks now!

I Heart Faces Before and After

| | 7 comments »

The first picture I took a couple of years ago after the birth of our first daughter Vivian. I used this in her birth announcement. Now that I look at it, I would've edited it differently. I don't think it's too terrible or anything but I think I've definitely improved since then in terms of lighting as well as editing. This picture I took this month after the birth of our second daughter Violet. I went outside for this one using natural lighting, catching the light in her eyes. I have learned a lot more about photoshop since then as well. I would have liked to use the picture that I'm putting on her birth announcement but it is a surprise until we send out the announcements.

I Heart Faces - Nostalgia

| | 3 comments »

When I saw the theme for this week I immediately thought of this picture. It's of my three beautiful nieces taken at my parents farm at Easter. It brings me back to the times when my sister and I would play outside on the hay bales, ride our three wheelers singing at the top of our lungs and just have a great time outside. That was before computer games, cell phones and all of the things that I think make kids grow up too fast! To join in this week head over to http://www.iheartfaces.com/.

My Violet

I did a photoshoot with my newest addition the other day and was trying my best to get some shots with her eyes open, but it just didn't happen. However, I did get this one which I love! It was originally pretty blown out but I changed the saturation and the levels on it and I think it turned out pretty great. What an angel!

I Heart Faces - Feet Week!

| | 14 comments »

It's feet week at I Heart Faces and I'm glad we don't have to take a picture of how our feet look now. It's been a puffy feet week at my house since I'm almost 39 weeks pregnant, just two more days until my c-section! This picture was taken on vacation a few years ago and I guess I just have the beach on my mind since the last picture I entered was from the beach also! There's nothing I love more than sticking my toes in the sand! Have a great week, and to join in the feet competition, go to www.iheartfaces.blogspot.com.

Of course this isn't my pet but I think he's a beautiful bird! I took this picture on vacation when we were in the Bahamas. I wish I was there now, but it looks like the only vacation I'm getting this year a four day stay in the hospital to have the baby. She's coming next Tuesday!

I Heart Face - Wedding Bells!

| | 2 comments »

I was excited and nervous about wedding week on I Heart Faces. I am a wedding photographer, so I knew it would be hard to find just one picture. I knew I wanted it to be a candid shot, showing the true joy on the couple's faces, and I had to find the picture while my daughter watching Sesame Street! That's not a lot of time! I remembered back to this wedding and found the perfect shot. This couple decided to see each other before the wedding and when the couple does that, I always set up a "moment" for them to see each other. He has his back turned and then when I tell him to, he turns around and gets to see her walking down the aisle towards him! It's their all alone moment, well except for me that is. Anyway, I love the look on her face, she's truly happy! To enter a picture in the contest go to I Heart Faces.

I've known Matt since I was about 9 or 10 years old when we met at Burnt Cabin. He's always been a great friend so I was very excited and honored when he asked me photograph his wedding. He and Tracy are such a fun and laid back couple and even though it was very hot out and I was very pregnant it was such a fun wedding to shoot. The location was so gorgeous too!
