Brooke + Elijah

My beautiful friends asked me to take pictures at their super-secret courthouse wedding - I felt so special! It was such a wonderful day; I couldn't have asked for a better "first time" experience. Everyone was so happy and relaxed, and I think we all had a really good time. Brooke's daughter Ava was the perfect little subject (not into having her picture taken at ALL at first, and then totally warmed up later on) and I had so much fun snapping shots of her. Here are some of my favorites from the day:



Thanks, Brooke & Elijah, for letting me be a part of your special day! I will see you in Mexico!!

Its time.

I'm gonna do it! Finally, finally, after much self-doubt & discouragement (and perhaps a tiny bit of laziness), I have decided to GO FOR IT and start marketing myself. I just ordered business cards and tomorrow will hopefully be buying the software I've wanted in order to DO THIS THING! As you will see from my last entry, this is an idea I've been kicking around for at least two years. I have been into photography for about 13 years now, but finally have the time, energy, and resources to do something about it. I cannot wait to push myself and have a creative outlet in my life as a stay at home mom, but most importantly I want to give people 'that perfect shot' of themselves or their child that they'll just HAVE to frame or mail to friends, or simply treasure forever.

More to come!
XOXO
