Class of 2010!

Do you remember what is was like to be a senior in high school? The world was exciting, new, and full of adventure...you were ready for anything. I had such a blast with this senior session...he is incredibly smart and a great basketball player too! He is definitely going places. :)

Interior Design: More Shabby Chic

More interior design shots from my amazing mother's home in Virginia. I love all the simple touches!

Interior Design: Shabby Chic

I love interior design almost as much as I love photography...and that's saying something. These images were taken at my lovely mother's home in Virginia. If you ask me, Shabby Chic is the ONLY design style to go with, but I realize it's an acquired taste. :)

Engagements at Sundance

Aren't you just so glad it's spring? This fun couple and I got together last week to shoot their engagements at Sundance Resort in Provo Canyon. Not only is it a beautiful location, but it was a gorgeous day for pictures! I had a great time photographing this couple because they were so obviously in LOVE and very comfortable in front of the camera. Stay tuned for pictures from their wedding ~ coming in June!

Bridals: Spring Chic

This lovely session marked the beginning of Wedding Season 2010 ~ and I couldn't be more excited! The weather was beautiful that day and the couple looked fabulous. They were so comfortable in front of the camera...I had a great time photographing them! Everything about them just screamed "chic" to me. From her dress, to her jewelry, to his tux, they were absolutely stunning. Stay tuned for more photos of this lovely couple at their wedding this April!

Reunions

My father recently returned home from Afghanistan for a two-week R&R retreat. When my mother drove to the airport to pick him up, she saw him standing there - in full military uniform - holding a single daffodil. I don't think it gets more romantic than that!

Tiny Dancer

Isn't she the cutest lil' thing you've ever seen?
