TrueHeart

I recently did a shoot for True Heart Productions This years musical is Mary Magdalene. It was super cool to work with lead actress Sarah Harris. It was a blast and I am pretty thrilled with the results.

I used a flash light, f2.8 and a black back drop to get what I wanted.

Yes, her eyes are that cool in real life...lucky for me.

This one is my favs...

Check them out and come if you can, I think it is going to be a good show!

Hauck Family

I got to hang out with the Hauck family for an afternoon. Their little boy Rowan was sooo much fun. He talks like a grown up...without using grown up words. I have never met a kids that had such awesome voice inflection. I was cracking up as he bossed me around in his baby babble that sounded like his father.

much love,

Ok to make it up to you...

I am posing a shoot near and dear to my heart.

Michael and Stephanie Garvey. A few of my best friends! They have been married 5 years! They asked me to shoot for their anniversary.

Oh yes. It was grand!

Here is the story...You are going to love this.

****************************************************************************************************************************************

Michael wanted to surprise Steph for their 5th wedding anniversary. He planned an epic day for her including massage, lunch out and a rockin wedding attire shoot.

I got to the hotel. Michael and Steph pull up. She has no idea what is going on. Perfect. As she walks in and sees me standing there with my camera she was confused...very confused. Awesome. She has no idea what was going on.

THEN she sees her wedding dress come in the door. She look to Michael and he says,

"Well....I thought you might like a shoot in your wedding dress."

At that point she gave him a really big kiss...I took that as a yes she did want a wedding dress shoot. We went into the bath room to get ready. Poor girl was in shock for a good hour. It was great.

It was joy shock...

She was pretty excited to put that dress on again.
We did a first look...all the romance of a wedding day was in that room
Michael got her a new pair of wedding shoes...she wore a borrowed pair 5 years ago
So cute eh?

Black and white g o o d n e s s

Hot hot hotness...

Great story huh? :)

Thanks Michael and Steph! It was tons of fun! I love you guys.

See you soon,

.she said she loved black and white.

me too. 
After 2 hours little Noelle liked my lap better then in front of the lens, I loved it but it does leave very limited portrait angles.

here is to blue eyes and sunshine!
3 kids later and still totally into each other. Pretty awesome. 
And this would be my favorite shot. 

But this one comes pretty darn close. Of course with multiple gifts of hand picked flowers throughout the shoot how could I not but fall in l.o.v.e with this cutie? 

much joy,
