Melissa + Sam = LOVE

L.O.V.E. That's the best word I can use to describe this couple. Melissa and Sam were in love even before the "high school sweethearts" days. They are adorable together- sweet and soft with each other, but with a sense of humor that made me laugh more than once during their session. They are the kind of couple that just belong. Their images are probably some of my favorites...not just because the lighting was perfect and the couple is gorgeous, but because I got to see such sweet l.o.v.e. through my lens. I'm so excited to see what God will do with their future together!

A Peek at One of My Favorite Families

I'm not sure what to say about this family, other than that I LOVE THEM! Andy is my husband Tim's brother, which means I have the privilege of being related to Andy, Sarah, and best of all- their newest sweetie, Ellianna! You might remember my adorable little niece from her newborn photos, and she is only getting cuter every day! Here's a small peek at some of my favorites from their Christmas card "mini-session"....can't you just feel the love?!

B Family Fun (Round Two!)

This is the second year in a row that I've had the fun of taking photos for this family....and I just love these people!! Aaron and Debbie are on staff at our church (redemption church in Gilbert...it rocks, just sayin') and they are both beautifully talented musicians. Their kids, Harrison and Makenna, are so sweet together...not to mention that they never cease to crack me up! I'm so excited to watch them change and grow every year. Thanks again, B family...can't wait for next year!!

 

I also have to give a quick shout out to my sweet friend, Nan, for loaning me these amazing chairs and wreath!! I wish I could just go furniture shopping in her house. Thanks, Nan, for helping me give the B fam some stylish memories!

The Sweet K Family

I had so much fun a few weeks ago with this family! Jolynn and I have known each other since high school, which made it extra special to take her family photos this year. Her kiddos, Brookelynn and Jonas, are adorable and have personalities with a capital "P"! And she and her honey, Ben, were so calm and sweet with each other- even in the midst of toddler chaos. THAT is real love, people! Here are some of my favorites of this fam... 

Thanks for a fun day, K family....Merry Christmas!!

Ruth and Matt, in LOVE!!

I've known Ruth since high school (although I won't say exactly how much younger she is than me! Ha!) so it was especially fun to hear from her that she is getting married! She and Matt are so cute together and it's obvious they are a perfect fit. Not only are they in love, but they are best friends...the perfect recipe for marriage! I'm so excited to celebrate their wedding day with them in March 2012. Congratulations, Ruth and Matt!

 

 

 Ruth had me do her makeup before the shoot (details to come soon!) which only added to her already beautiful features....
