Absolute perfection...x2!

What a FUN day! I have to go on record and say that this was one of my absolute favorite photo shoots yet. It's no secret that I love newborns, so when there are two of them it just makes it that much more fun -- and these two were as sweet as they come! Declan (with the red hair) and Teague (with the brown hair) were 10 days old when I got to take their pictures, and they were just so sleepy and snuggly that they didn't even mind being snuggled up on top of each other. I would have loved to pack them right up with the rest of my stuff and bring them home with me, but I have a feeling their moms would have missed them pretty quickly! :) I don't think it's possible to look at those little faces and not want to pick them both up and love them...

Colleen and Patrick...They do!

A week ago I had the amazing opportunity to photograph one of the sweetest couples I have ever met. I have never photographed a wedding before, but about 6 months ago I was asked by the groom's mother if I would be interested in shooting her son's wedding. I declined at first, but then decided I would give it a try. I'm SO glad I did! It was so fun to be surrounded by so much love. You could just feel it in the air -- not only between the bride and groom, but from each and every guest at the wedding. At first it looked like rain and wind might threaten the outdoor wedding, but like magic everything lifted about half an hour before the ceremony and you could not have asked for a more beautiful day. And the setting! I hope the pictures do it justice -- it was just breathtaking.

Another treat for the day was that I got to shoot alongside my good friend and fellow photographer, Sue Beckerman of This Moment Photography. It was amazing to get to shoot with her, as it allowed us to capture the same moments from completely different angles. I love how the pictures work together to tell a story of the day.

Thank you so much, Colleen and Patrick, for allowing us to share this day with you. I wish you only the best in your future!
