I met with Alison a few months back and automatically fell in love with her sweet personality! She told me all about her fiance and he upcoming wedding plans and I am so excited to be a part of it. Last night I got the pleasure of meeting her handsome future husband and had some fun shooting engagement pictures. Jarred pretended to be shy in front of the camera but Alison and I think he might of even enjoyed it just a little bit, even though he may never admit it out loud. Thanks for being such a great sport Jarred, and Alison, well your just gorgeous so you make my job to easy. Alison and Jarred have been dating three years, and are excited about taking that next big step in life. Jarred told me that it was love at first site for him but Alison took a little more convincing. He shmoozed her with flowers thinking that would surly win her over, but Alison made him work a little harder then that to become her one and only. Jarred eventually got ahold of her heart, and in a few short weeks they will become Mr and Mrs and I could not be happier for them! Here are a few of my favorite shots from our shoot. Congrats Alison and Jarred! I hope you love your pictures and I cannot wait to see you in your wedding dress.
Sorry I have been MIA for the past few days but I have been busy snuggling my baby girl. Aven Kennedy Turner made her way into the world on August 3, 2009. She was a whole 6lbs 2oz of pure precious. I can not even put into words what a blessing she is to our family. I never thought I would be a mother of five but I cannot imagine my life without these five little personalities in it. Everyone tells me my babies are not normal because they are so content, they never cry, and they pretty much sleep through the night from birth. I thought I was really pushing my luck with a fifth child and was sure that this would be the one who had colic and made me endure many sleepless nights. However I must have a horseshoe in places I will not mention because we have another perfect baby. The only time I have even heard her cry is during her bath. If bath time is her only complaint then I consider myself one lucky mommy. Another bonus of having 5 children is that labor was a cake walk. I labored for a whopping two hours, and strained myself through one push before Aven made her grand entrance. I felt so good that I was back shooting a wedding just 2 days after I was discharged. I don’t think I have even sat down since I left the hospital. Not because I have a new born, because like I said she is an angel, but because I am in the middle of wedding season and I had to hit the ground running! Aven is 12 days old today and of course we have already had the first of MANY photo shoots. She slept through the whole thing and was her perfect little self! Here are some of my most favorite pictures of my precious little Aven!
It makes my heart smile when two of the sweetest people on the planet become one. Lani and Daniel and all their family celebrated this union on August 7th and I was honored to be there to capture it. Starting with a beach front ceremony and ending with a splash in the ocean I had so much fun with this couple in front of my camera. A special thanks also goes out to Irene Frankhouse for shooting this wedding with me. I had just given birth 4 days before so Irene stepped in and covered most of the events while I just came and went though out the day. Lani and Daniel I hope you are having the time of your lives on your honeymoon in Maui, and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
