Brittany & Vitaly; Engagement Session

I first met Brittany when she doing doing my hair trail for my wedding earlier this year.  We hit it off immediately and began talking about our upcoming wedding days and all the crazy planning involved.  Just a few weeks before my wedding she asked if I would shoot her engagement session and I was thrilled!  I knew the day would be filled with tons of laughter and I couldn't wait.  Brittany and Vitaly wanted an autumn session so we met a Inniswood Metro Garden's which was the perfect backdrop, full of amazing colors.  Our sunset session was a dream!  Below are just a few of my favorite photos from our time together.

Congratulations Brittany & Vitaly!!

Vivian Lee; Inniswood Metro Park

What could be cuter than a sweet little giggly, smiley, baby girl?!  Little Miss Vivian Lee is all of those things and more!  She is such a happy little baby whose big personality shines through in every photo I snapped.  I was so lucky to have had the chance to photograph her and her family this past spring at Inniswood Metro Gardens.  It was one of those perfect days when the flowers just started to bloom and people started to have a little spring in their step and Miss Vivian was ready to spread a little of her own sunshine.  Below are just a few of my favorite photos from my time with Miss Vivian Lee.

The Frank Family; Inniswood Metro Garden

We had such a great time photographing our October Portraits in the Park families! We start our October series at the Inniswood Metro Garden. My first family you may recognize from our blog posts over the past 3 years.  I have gotten the awesome opportunity to watch The Frank Family grow over the years and I couldn't be happier for them.  They welcomed their newest addition, baby Natalie just 5 weeks before our shoot.  And who can forget the always adorable Miss Vivienne!  Once again she has stolen the spotlight and our hearts!  Here are just a few of my favorite photos from our day together.

 There are just so many cute photos of Vivienne it was so hard to choose my favorite but this one has to be my favorite.  That smile could melt anyones heart!

 And here is the newest member, baby Natalie.  And Natalie was full of funny faces and noises that made her big sister laugh!  She is following in her big sisters footsteps too by being super adorable and photogenic!

 LOVE this photo of Mommy and her two little girls.  I have no idea what made Vivienne laugh so hard but it is perfect!  What an awesome moment.

 Remember I mentioned a certain super cute spotlight stealer?!  Well here she is!  This photo is one of my all time favorite family portraits.  I love how Mommy and Daddy are both just grinning at Vivienne and her antics!

I'm not even sure I even have the words describe this moment between Vivienne and Daddy.  I think this picture speaks a thousand words!

Congratulations Frank Family!  Thanks for letting us share another year with you and your growing family!

Stephanie & Nick Engagement; Inniswood Metro Gardens

One thing that I love about my job is how I get to be a part of peoples special moments and really form a bond with my clients.  Stephanie and Nick are a wonderful couple who were so patient and understanding of my hectic schedule this past winter.  I had the chance to chat with them on the phone in January and meet face to face in May to discuss the details of their upcoming January wedding.  I knew right away that this was a couple that really had love and fun in their hearts.  Since the wedding will be in January (and everyone is hoping for a little snow to make things extra pretty) we thought a lush, green engagement session might be the perfect backdrop for their engagement photos. And it was no surprise that I had such a fun time shooting Stephanie and Nicks session at Inniswood Metro Gardens last month.  It was literally a picture perfect day!  Here are just a few of my favorite shots from our day!

 What more can I say that this picture doesn't already?  This is one cute couple who are total naturals.  It almost makes my job too easy!

I love the faded, sunlight feel of this photograph and the fact that Stephanie and Nick have completely forgotten I am even there.  A perfect moment.

 Stephanie and Nick actually showed me this great little spot at the gardens that I have never been too.  It was such a private lovely area with a beautiful water feature.  It made for an awesome backdrop to this great shot.

 There is something about a couple that smiles and laughs with each that I love!  I don't think I capture one photo of Nick not smiling when he was looking at Stephanie!

Thank you Stephanie and Nick for an awesome engagement session.  We can't wait to shoot the big day in January!
