Rachel & Jesse: Engaged!

Rachel & Jesse are a beautiful couple, both inside and out, & it was my pleasure to capture this special time for them! I've been friends with Rachel for a long time, but I just recently met Jesse. Just from spending a few hours with him on a couple different occasions & seeing the two of them interact, I can already tell that they are totally made for each other...truly a perfect match!

We had a great time tromping around Jesse's family's property to get these shots. It was a dreary day but we had a great time and I love how the romance is so evident between these two lovebirds. I said I wasn't going to shoot any more weddings after Camden was born, but when Rachel asked me to shoot theirs...I couldn't say no. :) I'm looking forward to a beautiful wedding in just 3 short weeks! I'm already excited to blog about it...it's going to be an incredible event.

Rachel & Jesse...I wish you the best in your many years together as husband and wife. Marriage is a blessing...always cherish each other!







































I know it was a long post...but I thought I'd come back from my maternity leave with a bang. :)

Introducing Our Son, Camden...and a Sneak Peek, Too!

Most of you know that my husband and I welcomed our first baby into the world on July 31st! Camden Reid was born at 5:07 am and he was a whopping 9 pounds, 13 ounces and 20.5 inches long! He's an amazing little guy...so sweet and cuddly and only cries when he needs a diaper change or is hungry. We are so blessed and we love him more than I could possibly ever put into words. I've been on maternity leave since the week before he was born, and this is my first official week back to work! I'm booking sessions like crazy...especially seniors! This is my favorite time of year!

I thought I'd share Camden's first slideshow which includes photos of him ranging from 6 to 21 days old. There's music, too, so turn your speakers up! (May take a few seconds to load)

While you wait for the slideshow to load, scroll down a bit and catch a glimpse of the next 3 sessions I'll be blogging about...
