Jenna

Here are a few of my favorite shots from Jenna's senior photo shoot last week. Isn't she pretty! She was fun to work with and we took some shots at a favorite spot of mine that has a little waterfall - it's my secret spot - no one can figure out where it is!

Amber & David

Amber and David had such a beautiful wedding Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! Their ceremony was intimate, including close friends and family, and it was held in a beautiful stone site overlooking the ocean. Following the ceremony, we all shared in a delicious meal together.
Then, Amber and David joined Stephen and I on the beach to do some amazing photos of them with the sunset! As you can see from some of the photos below, my new favorite look is sun flare - isn't it gorgeous!?
I have to say this wedding was an absolute blast! We loved every second of it! Thank you Amber and David for including us in your big day!

Jessica

Right before we left we had our first unofficial After the Wedding bridal session, a new idea of ours that lets brides get more use out of their dress, than just on the wedding day! Our bride was Jessica, you may recognize her from an earlier post, as she got married this past June and we photographed her wedding.
Check out some of my favorite shots:

JJ

Here's JJ, another high school senior. This guy loves his new truck, so of course we had to do a few shots with it! Check some out:

Mason, Cade & Quinn

Ok, we're back from Mexico!!! The trip was fabulous, the wedding was beautiful and my sunburn is almost completely gone! :) Before I can give you some photos from the trip, I have to keep up with my photo shoots! Here are some photos of Michelle's children Mason, Cade and Quinn. These kids are not only gorgeous but they're such little angels! During the shoot I kept thinking about how I would be chasing my two year old around if it was him in the shoot, but her children were just so perfect! Check out some of my favorite shots:

Skippin' Town

We leave tonight at 3am for Puerto Vallarta, Mexico where we'll be shooting a destination wedding! Woo hoo! We're so excited....sorta sad to leave our kiddos (but they'll be staying at our house with grandma, so we know they'll be taken care of!)
We'll be home on August 1st, so if we're hard to reach, you now know why! We'll do our best to keep up on voicemails and emails while we're gone but we're not sure of what type of access we'll have, so you can rest assure that we'll get back to you when we return home!
Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
Stephen & Sam

So little time...

I have so many photo shoots to tell you about and so little time to do it before we leave for our destination wedding in Mexico...my posts might be brief but I've gotta show you these great photos...let's think quality, not quantity! :)
Here's Dani, she's one of our senior spokesmodels and this is her 2nd shoot...you might remember her from some photos this past Spring:








Here's Jenae and Will, the wedding we photographed this past weekend. Isn't Jenae gorgeous?! I swear she could be a model. We got creative inside the church basement with some funky chairs since Jenae's eyes are super sensitive to sunlight. The shots came out pretty sweet!






Here's Aaron, a high school senior and our neighbor! It was fun taking his photos, he's a super nice kid!





Here's Brian, another high school senior. I absolutely love this second shot - I think it just fits his personality really well, and it shows off his favorite green shirt!




Finally, here's the Hartzler family. They're relatives of ours and wanted to take a family photo before Jon heads out of town again (he's in the army.) I just love this first photo - they're such a cute family!
