John & Kate [minus the 8]'s Spring Wedding

On May 15th I second shot John & Kate's wedding for my good friend and collegue Nicole Taylor. They were such a cute couple and a great bunch to work with! I wish them all the best in their new life together as man and wife ♥

my favorite!

Three's company: Mark, Heather & Braeden's Family Portraits

Recently I was contacted by Heather, who used the services of NILMDTS [Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep] about 7 or 8 months ago when her son Braeden was born. Many of you know I am the current Hartford County coordinator for this amazing organization. You can imagine how excited I was to find out that their son was still with us! They asked me to take some updated portraits of their family and I was thrilled to do so. I adored watching them interact with Braeden. Their love was palpable, the gentle & tender care they gave him was so heartwarming. I was so blessed to be a part of their lives that day :) Here are a few images of our session together!

Will & Amanda's rainy day engagement session!

Will & Amanda were just so stinkin' cute during their engagement session with me in Collinsville. It was raining the whole time but it didn't get their spirits down! They made it work, and we incorporated the wet weather for some super cute photos. I had a great time laughing and spending time with these two lovebirds as we roamed the historic streets & shops of this quaint little town. Thanks so much to you both for letting me take your images to celebrate such a special time in your lives. It was the first time I ever did a rainy day engagement session & I wouldn't have wanted it with anyone else! ♥ Hope you enjoy the pictures :)
