Coming Soon…Liam

As soon as Kristen and I began emailing back and forth about her maternity photos, I KNEW they were going to be amazing! Had never met her or her husband, but I just knew. Maybe it was all of her creative ideas, maybe it was her enthusiasm for having the session even though a snowstorm was supposedly on its way (um, no), or maybe it was the sweet innocence of their love story…

Kristen and Mitchell began dating the summer before 9th grade…yes, when they were only 13 years old. Kristen told me “After all these years of us being in love, for him to tell me that I am the prettiest I have ever been, and see in his eyes that somehow he really does believe that, is hard for me to put into words. Mitchell and I have literally grown up together and have been together more years than we have been apart.”
I don’t think anymore words are necessary. Liam is going to be loved so purely, so intensely, and I think these portraits truly express that…

Out of the bazillion images that I loved, these last three are my absolute favorites.

Kristen and Mitchell, you are going to be wonderful parents as your love grows with Baby Liam. I can’t wait to meet him! In other news, I will be at the Wedding Festival this Saturday. If you’re coming, please stop by my “studio” and say hello! Also, stay tuned for a b-i-g announcement about my new website. Woohoooo! Kristen and Mitchell’s proof gallery is now online!

Catching Up–Sneak Peek!

I’m behind on laundry, behind on cleaning my house, behind on blogging, and behind on editing. Ack! Do you see a trend?? I had 3 amazing sessions recently with 3 awesome families–perfect weather, gorgeous fall colors, and lots of good energy from the kids and parents. What more could you ask for? (Except maybe to be caught up on the edits, hehe.) Here’s a sneak peek from each family to get ya started…

Thanks families for hanging in there–the rest are coming!!

Marilynn: Leaving Ash-vegas

Over the past couple of years, Marilynn has become one of my closest friends. She has an infectious laugh, a quick (and sarcastic) wit, a huge heart, and the craziest eyes you’ve ever seen. We have a tendency to get on the phone and three hours will pass in the blink of an eye.

A few months ago, Marilynn’s job moved her from Asheville, NC, which had been her home for the past 10 years, to another part of the state. To commemorate the Asheville phase of her life and to get some killer canvases for her new downtown condo, we had a marathon photo shoot all over the city. Asheville is such a laid back and colorful place–murals, brightly painted doorways, sculptures, and beautiful mountain views every way you turn.

Marilynn was a freakin’ rock star during this session; see for yourself…

Um, hello eyes!

If you are a fan of live music and you’ve never been to The Orange Peel, you’d better head on up the mountain and correct that mistake! Awesome venue for an eclectic mix of artists. Go, now!
