I don't even know where I could begin to explain the honor I felt when asked to photograph the wedding of these two people, so I shall refrain and let the pictures tell what a beautiful, sweet day their wedding day was.

These girls. I love them. It was their wonderful mother's birthday last month, and we did some photos as a gift to her. The fall colors were just beginning (though now they are all finished) and it was a lovely afternoon in the park!

Oh, if only there were words enough to tell you about this girl. I have know this beautiful soul since she was three years old when I started baby-sitting for her and her sister and brother. We spent hours playing hide and seek, watching Disney movies and being silly. She was in kindergarten the year I graduated from high-school. Here's a photo of us from that summer.

A couple weeks ago I had the privelege of taking her senior portrait. Isn't she lovely?

Of course, she is also a giant goofball.

But mostly lovely.

I can't think of anything else to say about her without getting sappy and sentimental, except for I LOVE YOU, LAURA!

Sara, whose name I always spelled with an "h" (until she finally corrected me) e-mailed me hoping for something a little different. This made me excited because I'd really been hoping to do some photos in a slightly less nature-y/more urban setting. And while downtown Fairfield is a far cry from anything urban, but I love love LOVE the way these came out.

And here are some more! Obviously, I'm behind on posting. Photos taken at Twin Brooks and Silver Sands on two of the loveliest days of the summer.

(This was my very favorite shot from the day)

I've known these girls for years. The first time I met them, I was substitute teaching for their fourth grade class. I remember confusing their names repeatedly during the day, getting frustrated with fourth graders and apparently (although I don't remember this) allowing them a period of naptime...in fourth grade. Now, they're high-shcool seniors and both utterly lovely.

I did both shoots in Twin Brooks.

First Senior Portraits of the Year

2011-08-15T00:59:59Z

I've been lucky enough to teach at a wonderful school the past six years. Teaching high-school kids, it's always amazing to watch them morph into seniors, then from seniors into high-school graduates. One of the first marks of the morph is having their senior portraits taken. I remember having my senior portrait done. I was all posey-posey and in a black velour ensemble I thought was classy.

It's amazing how much portraits have changed since then. Doing senior portrait sessions is one of my favorite things. Each one starts out inevitably awkward with lots of, "What do I do with my arms?!" and "People are staring at me!" But eventually, they all get past it.

This beautiful girl I've known for many years and I absolutely loved spending this hour with her.

Welcome!

I cannot believe it. I'm starting a photography business! I have been told that technically I already have a photography business, but making a website with a portfolio and a pricing page makes it all feel so real!

This blog will be a place for me to share about my most recent photo shoots, post photos of random things I love and just generally be excited about all things photography.

Thanks for stopping by and hopefully I'll have lots more to share with you soon!
