{Newborn} Little Man McGuire

Newborn sessions are not for the faint of heart. Whew! The session itself is a lot of work, but the images created leave you smiling for a lifetime. They are only this tiny for so long and then before you know it, they are smiling at you, rolling over, sitting up, saying "Da-Da", and growing too fast to keep up with clothes sizes. This little guy was the same weight as my littlest one who is now 5 1/2 months old. So bittersweet holding him and knowing that my little bundle used to be that small.

Enjoy these images of Michael and Kelly's Little Man.

{Wedding} Cheryl + Phil

I know it might seem cliche to say that Cheryl and Phil are one of the sweetest couples I have ever known, but it's true. Not one thing could wipe the smiles off their faces, not even a head cold and a little rain.

When I first met with Cheryl and Phil, they both told me that neither one of them were detailed oriented people. They are big picture people. The big picture is this couple had an amazingly beautiful wedding with the simplest of details.

It was my utmost pleasure and honor to photograph this beautiful day for one amazing couple...truly.

Venue: Chaumette Winery
Flowers: Jaime Crow
Band: Miss Jubilee

{My Family} My Guy

In keeping up with my blog, I thought I would do a little blog post about my main squeeze. I took this head shot last year for a photo he needed for work. He looks so handsome, so distinguished, and so young...It's sickening really.

At preschool our four-year-old was asked to answer questions about her dad. One question was: What does your dad do for a living? Her response was: "He works hard as a construction worker." This prompted us to really try to explain what it was that her dad does for a living. I guess we didn't realize that up until this point she just knew that her dad worked for Snoopy. So I explained to her that her dad was a financial advisor. When asked what this was, I explained to her that he helps people with investments. In a real disappointed voice, she said, "Ohhh, he helps people with investments?!"

Seriously, he is one of the hardest working men I know. He has a strong work ethic and a real passion for his job. He thoroughly loves what he does. I'm thankful that he works hard so that I can work hard at being a stay-at-home mom, a blessing I never want to take for granted.

And as an added bonus...he's rather good looking. I'm the lucky girl he comes home to. :)
