Last year about this time I had the opportunity to photograph Amy & Andy for their engagement session.  It’s always fun to spend several hours with a couple prior to the wedding because we get the chance to know each other up front before all the timelines and family responsibilities of the big day.  I knew that these guys were going to enjoy their wedding and nothing, not even posing in a little rain, would lessen their excitement or appreciation of their time together!

Congratulations to such a beautiful and caring couple and best of luck on the big move as well!  It sounds like yet another adventure to add to the many that you’ve already had!

Have you ever had your husband suprise you for your birthday or anniversary? A few weeks ago, a friend of ours received a big surprise when her husband plotted a birthday party complete with a suprise photo session and portrait book of her kids taken a few weeks before. He even secretly enlisted her help with getting outfits for the kids and coming up with locations!

He had the family session scheduled for the night of the surprise birthday party to totally throw her off the trail and the kids clothes were all wrapped back up and waiting in the bags for the big event! I think she was totally surprised! I also think she’s going to get him back good when he least expects it! Can’t wait to see what’s in the cards.

Here are a few of my favorites from the studio session! A lot of action and movement and twirls and tickling were going on that day. If you have never tried to focus on a three year, you should give it a try sometime! And then, you should throw a five year old in the mix and just watch the kinetic energy in action!

Happy Birthday, Kristi!

Suprise!

Kelsey had a two part session and she rocked it! Part I, the outdoor session can be found here. Part II took place in the studio and I’m loving all the fun shots that came out of it.

Kelsey you’re a rock star!
