What's In a Name

My best friend since high school had her baby last month. He had been a long time coming! Her oldest is 9 and I have had the honor to walk beside her as they tried for a sibling. Shortly after we found out she was pregnant again, her Daddy (Joe) died in a tragic accident. I remember praying with her in the hospital before we knew anything for sure...directly into her ear...for her only...that this baby would live!

Weston Josiah...what a legacy you have! I love you sweet boy and your whole family!

Awaiting Avery!

This strapping young man was the book attendant in my wedding. His mom is my husband's cousin but has always been more like a sister to me. This past weekend we were having a little mini family gathering at the mom's house, so we took the opportunity to get a few pics in of her sweet Avery who we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of. We had to improvise a bit, but we made it work!

Kyle Turns 1!!!

I can't believe I've gotten to watch this sweet boy grow up right before my eyes! Here are just a few of my favs from his 1 year session.











Happy Birthday, Sweet boy!

A Brazilian Engagement

That beautiful Brazilian wedding...yeah...this is the beautiful cousin of the bride who is getting married next year herself! So, I had the pleasure of taking some pics for them while I was there.

Precious Priscilla

I had the honor of getting to know this sweet family when I stayed at their house while in Brazil. This is their darling daughter, Priscilla!

Arthur!

This was an impromptu time in a very small confined space with a LOT of people while I was in Brazil!

But Arthur (pronounded Art-tour) was handsome and that was all that mattered.

A Brazilian Wedding

I had the adventure of a LIFETIME this summer. I was flown down to Sao Paulo, Brazil to shoot a beautiful wedding. Here are just a very few of my favorites of the 600 photos the couple got.




He sees her!








Her Daddy married them.




These two couldn't be more in love!




















Perfect!
