You already know my love for the Farias family – and I wanted to try something new, so I decided to spend a large portion of the day with them with a camera. These are only a few images that give a glimpse into their lives (I swear, David was there too, but he sufficiently avoided me & my camera most of the time. ;)), which were not posed at all. I just came, observed, interacted, and captured. :) There will definitely be more of these to come — the rest of the images, as well as potentially other people — since I want to explore, capture & create more. Enjoy!

I have so many good things in the works and I want so badly to share them with you all! Here is just a small sampling of what  is to come soon!

. . . . . .

Darling little Julia is growing bigger! You might remember her from her newborn session a few months ago — now look at her! When she smiles it just makes me melt. :)

I don’t shoot family/lifestyle sessions as much as I do weddings, but I am so thrilled when I do because it is such a enjoyable time with some beautiful people. Especially when there is baby in tow! It’s even more fun when I get to see the progression of people’s lives, and the growth of a child. Such a wonderful thing that I am blessed to do. :)

a few years later + wedding dress + two kids + finger paints = <3

When Addie had contacted me with her idea of a trash the dress/lifestyle session with finger paints and her two kids, I LOVED it! It was so fun to see these two again, with their beautiful children in tow. It was a grand time, and I’d do it all over again. <3

what a cute little bundle julia is! i am so thrilled to have gotten the chance to meet this little one, and can’t wait to continue photographing her over the next year as she grows. :)

amazing, amazing, amazing people + style galore + a day filled with exploration and fun = <3

I heart these two like no other. Jasmine & Scott are two friends of mine that I cherish dearly, and love them to bits. (Jasmine is the lovely lady who often photographs my Facebook & Twitter profile images, and is a fantastic graphic designer & photographer herself.)

Since they were already technically married, we decided to make it more of a couples/lifestyle session, than a regular engagement session. I spent most of the day with these two, going to their favorite locations in the little area they live, Normal Heights. We walked around the neighborhood and went to furniture shops, popsicle shops, food spots, and best of all, their home.

There is definitely something to be said about shooting in a location that means something to the couple.

Their wedding, which was this past month, proved to be fantastic and quite possibly the best weddings I’ve ever been to. Filled with joy, love, and most of all – wonderful human spirits. I’ve fallen in love with just people again thanks to all the wonderful souls that were there.
