Ellie's Turning One!!! {LEXINGTON, VA}

2012-02-15T17:10:00.000-08:00

Am I starting to look ridiculous to anyone else? I'm not going to bother promising that this is my last shoot, or that my little girl is coming any time this century... she's not even born yet and already she's making a liar of her mother! Once again, I had the opportunity to photograph possibly the cutest one year old on the planet- making me even more excited for a little gal of my own. Enjoy!!

I kid you not... I was in labor last night and apparently it stopped just so I could photograph this sweet baby girl! Go figure...

Okay- more cute little girls... I couldn't resist. I'm pretty sure, almost certain, fairly positive, that this is my last shoot... but if MY little girl waits much longer to come out, then all bets are off! :o)

Okay, okay... I know I said three posts ago that I was signing off for a bit for maternity leave... but I couldn't possibly pass up a newborn shoot- not when all I think about are baby girls at all hours of the day and night! So it seemed only fitting that my last shoot for a little while would be of one of the sweetest little baby girls I've ever photographed... little Lilly.

Okay- just kidding about that singing off bit! I was excited to get two more shoots in before this baby comes- so here's the first and look for an engagement session next week! Then... I'll really be done... I think...

After a crazy busy season (one which I have been truly grateful for!) I'm officially signing off from the photography scene until April 2012. With 5 weeks to go until our little Wyoming joins family Willis- I'm officially putting the camera away for a bit to focus on my starved-for-attention 3 year old and ultimately to prepare for the enormous tornado of labor pains, sleepless nights, dirty diapers, crying babies, etc. that's about to leave it's path of destruction on our peaceful little home. I will of course make an exception to post images of our new little babe, so don't forget to check back in mid February! {Life is good.}

Ryan & Sharon: Married! {MORRIS PLAINS, NJ}

2012-01-04T16:20:00.000-08:00

I don't get to attend all that many weddings as a "guest" but when I do, I find it hard to keep myself from kneeling in the isle and knocking my way through a crowd to get that perfect shot. In this case- my son, who we later found out had a double ear infection, made sure that I was able to do anything BUT take pictures at my only sibling's wedding this past weekend! So- here's a peek of the few shots I was able to get... it was an absolutely beautiful wedding

2011-10-25T12:06:00.000-07:00

I usually don't provide a monologue for my posts, but I felt this one needed an explanation. Mallory wanted bridals prior to the wedding. I suggested she include Garrett and she agreed. The only problem was that she didn't want him to see her dress before the wedding. Her solution? That we blindfold him. No, I'm not kidding... What's crazier- he agreed. So today you'll only be getting one shot from the photoshoot- you'd better believe if the bride went to this extent to hide her dress from the groom, then I'm sure as heck not going to be the one to spoil the surprise.
I will say this though- I have seen the dress and it. is. awesome. (Almost as awesome as her fiance who just did an entire photoshoot blindfolded. Now that's love.)

Okay- I'm going to give you one more... we weren't mean enough to make the poor guy walk from spot to spot blindfolded, so this little getup was Mallory's remedy...

I think I like this couple already!

Matt & Katie's Wedding {PITTSBURGH, PA}

2011-06-07T13:56:00.000-07:00

Let me first start off by saying that I was merely a guest at this wedding. (This beautiful bride is my husband's cousin.) And as a guest, it wasn't necessarily appropriate for me to show up with all my equipment and start shooting as if I were the hired photographer, though I was so temped to do so! I limited myself to one lens and no flash- so even though my images were limited, I thought it might be fun to share a few moments from this gorgeous wedding!

Meet my best friend Nicole. I've been dreaming of shooting her maternity pictures from the moment she told me she was pregnant. Now not all pregnant ladies are comfortable prancing around in front of a camera- turns out Nicole is one of them... I did happen to catch her with her guard down and managed to snap these bad boys... and I think she's adorable.

Okay ladies- you know the feeling of walking into a funky boutique, buying a little trinket, and then watching as it's wrapped carefully in tissue paper, and placed into a cute paper bag? Makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside, doesn't it?!

There are many things I'd like to do with {BMW} Photography, and cute packaging has been on the list for months now. I'm excited to be able to check it off!
