I built a birdhouse Saturday

This weekend was gorgeous weather. On Saturday I built a birdhouse with my boyfriend and documented it...

Bird house plans...

Step one: measure and cut the wood.



Step two: glue and nail together...

Step three: wear proper safety gear...


And wa-la! A bird house:)

Have a great week!

First Snow Day of 2011

Well last night it started snowing like crazy. I couldn't miss the opportunity to get some pictures of it today. Here's a few from my snow day...

I love icicles.

My cat was being adorable and wore this little hat for a while. Cheese!


I thought this was odd because normally you see sea oats at the beach:)



On a personal side note, I'm please to announce that I'm starting out the new year with new hair, a new job, and most excitedly a new holga medium format camera! I can't wait to see how the pictures turn out that I've taken so far. It's going to be a little bit of an adjustment going back to film but it's just for fun so that makes it fun.


Yes, it's a lavender holga:)

Hope everyone had a wonderful snow day!

Kelly and Michael-Maternity Shoot

I had my first maternity shoot this past weekend. I was so lucky to photograph Kelly and Michael. They were such a cute couple and let me drag them all over the park without one complaint. I hope they enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed taking them.





We had some duck visitors...


It's a girl!:)

This picture would make such a cute Christmas card:)


I loved this shot even though it's blown out because Kelly's laughing and Michael's poking her belly.

I LOVE baby blocks.



I enjoyed taking these pictures a lot because Kelly and Michael were so easy going. Congrats to them on Isabella and I can't wait to see pictures of her when she gets here!

Tita and Mikhail Lovell

Back in late September I had the honor of shooting Tita and Mikhail Lovell's wedding. It was such a beautiful wedding even though the day was filled with nothing but rain. We got lucky and had a great group of people who were willing to take some risks to get some cute pictures. Here's a few to share...

This just captures all the little details that I took throughout the day. I love details because they make each wedding so unique.



These girls were all so much fun to take pictures with.

What a gorgeous bride!!!

I loved the flowers. They were so pretty with the bridesmaid dresses.



Tita had some great facial expressions:)





I love this shot because I just barely caught the garter in the top left corner.


This wedding was such a joy to take pictures at because you could honestly feel and see the love between Tita and Mikhail. Best wishes to your both and thanks again for letting me be part of your special day.

The Dale Family


I love taking portraits. And even better than that is taking family portraits. My cousin and her husband and son got together with me one afternoon and we had lots of tears because of the fear of horses but at least we came through with some cute shots.:)

Pointing to the horse still worried he's coming after us:)


Adorable kid. Just adorable.


Good job coming up with this shot Andy:)




This shot was hilarious.


Seriously how cute is this kid?


Beautiful scenery...



Hope everyone has a great week!
