DIY BBQ Engagement Party

12.06.12

One of the things I love most about my job is working with so many talented wedding vendors who have a passion for what they do. A few months ago I had the pleasure to photograph a shoot for my very good friend Kim with Petal Pixie. She is an amazing floral and event designer and I love her to pieces. Kim wanted to bring back an old tradition of an engagement party, but keep a fun and relaxed atmosphere. I love this shoot and I love the vendors who collaborated on it. I also want to thank Wedding Chicks for featuring this shoot on their beautiful blog this morning.

Please be sure to check out all of the amazing vendors who helped on this shoot! Also, Wedding Chicks will be posting the Mason Jar Pie recipes and the DIY today and tomorrow so watch for that!

Fall Family Pictures

I found the perfect spot for pictures in the fall. It is amazing, my new secret spot. I just had to share it with my brother in law and his family. Every year I look forward to spending time with them and taking pictures of their adorable family. Love you guys!

If you are interested in booking a family session, they are on sale all of October. More information can be seen here.

My Little Flower Girl

10.17.12

Every spring I can count on a few things happening.One, the snow will melt and be replaced with beautiful tulips and daffodils and two, Paige will pick them all without asking. For as long as I can remember Paige has loved flowers, so when Kim gave her some leftovers from a wedding she squealed in anticipation. I told her when we got home she could make her very first bouquet. Maybe I have a floral designer in the making.

I love these pictures! And there is no “maybe” about it, Paige is going to be my assistant in the future! :)

My Little German Girl

10.16.12

I love being married to someone who is so proud of his German heritage. When we were at Oktoberfest last weekend he lit up like a roman candle. I love him for it and am jealous that he knows his family heritage so well. His grandparents came over to America after WWII and brought with them all the amazing traditions of Germany. My Paigey is a German to the core. Love you my little girl.

Speaking of lighting up like a roman candle, look how excited Paige got when she saw her daddy walking up the path. She loves him so much.

 

Thank you so much to Kim from Petal Pixie for the beautiful flower halo.
