Portrait Session | Paul

One of the best things in life is your friends.

You know when you meet someone, and you just KNOW that they're a good person? Paul is one of those people. He's all goodness. You can trust him. Pretty cool!!

When Paul asked me to take a few portraits of him so he could "shamelessly promote" himself, I was thrilled to help out. He has such a cool, clean look. And - of course - that violin thing.

(I'm a violinist-geek type too.)

I've been loving the classic black-and-whites these days, but just in case anyone thinks I always do the same thing and get stuck in a rut... I don't!! I have crazy ideas, too. See??

Hmmm... maybe not the best for your professional photos, but fun anyway!! Thanks for trusting me with your image, thanks for letting me pick your brain, and above all, thanks for being a friend.

(Hi Liz!!!)

Wedding | Lisa & Gabe

I was lucky enough to have Jen from JoNa Photography ask me to shoot with her again. I absolutely *love* Jen and I wish I could work with her *every* weekend (not-so-subtle HINT)!

When we first met Lisa, I was WOWed by her. Tall, blonde, and beautiful!

One of the things I love about weddings is the funny stuff that happens when nobody's looking... except me... HA!!

Lisa and Gabe are such a sweet couple. They were so smiley and cuddly... it was like a fairy tale with the insane amount of happiness that was going on. They were literally glued together for all of their portrait session!

Usually, I get some of the biggest smiles during the recessional. But Lisa and Gabe? This is right at the beginning of the ceremony.  Look at them - Happy, Happy, Happy!!

They spoke their own vows, which were so personal and heartfelt, it made me sniffle and want to snuggle! (I didn't think Jen was up for snuggling me, so I just took pictures.)

This little girl was looking at me... of course, I got in her way to make sure she did.  What a cutie!

Definitely related, somehow.

Time to let it loose!!

They got everyone into it...

A late night portrait outside. Can you feel the love??

Congrats, Lisa and Gabe! Thank you for letting me in on your wedding day :)

And thank you, Jen, for being so incredibly amazing... AGAIN. I love you!! We need to hang out more!!
