Hope you have a safe & fun Halloween!

We had the awesome opportunity to photograph Lucy when she was just a few days old. Well, now she is 7 months old! This stage is SO adorable! I have been so anxious to share some of their photos! They are learning so much at this age… like how to sit up…

How to balance…

And how to crawl…

Oh… she is so adorable I can barely stand it!




Surprisingly, last year was the first year that Holly & I have ever carved pumpkins together! Neither of us had done it in years. We did a very simple smiley face. This year we decided to try something a bit more challenging. It was fun doing it with our daughter. She wasn’t too interested in putting her hand IN to the pumpkin to clean it out, but she didn’t mind playing with the pumpkin seeds afterward. Here’s the final product!

As storytellers, Donny and I have a passion for documenting life. At weddings, we get the opportunity to photograph one of the most important days in people’s lives. However, it doesn’t end there. We often get to continue that relationship with our couples onto capturing their families as they grow. It’s amazing to be a part of that!
We photographed Heather & Marty’s wedding and engagement session in 2007 and now their family is ready to begin a new chapter. Here are some of Heather’s pregnancy photos!
First, a few of Heather’s favorites.


This one happens to be Donny’s favorite as well.

And a few of our faves…




Which one is your fave?
Bobby & Mary’s wedding was full of excitement. We arrived at the Surf & Sand Resort to take their getting ready pictures and we were immediately inspired and excited about how beautiful Mary was and how fun all the detail shots would be!

Her gorgeous earrings in the coral



We were able to capture a quick shot of the ring bearer before he got ready… I think we could have taken pictures of him all day. He was quite the poser as well! He LOVED the camera!

Fun moments as the bridesmaids help Mary get dressed.

The light on her just illuminated her eyes!

Right before the ceremony started, Bobby sent a little gift on over to Mary. The bracelet has their wedding date inscribed on the heart. Too sweet!

The pastor was reminding Bobby how absolutely beautiful his bride was!


I’m not sure which bridesmaid’s idea it was for the ladies to get IN the water, but it was pretty fun to capture!


Donny was actually shooting the above ones while I was shooting the guys. I heard the screaming and turned around quickly to get this. My camera settings were completely not set for shooting the ladies, but I still liked how it came out! The motion just added to the feeling of what was going on!

Too fun!

Loving the flare!

Some cute, romantic shots…



And some playful ones…

One of the things I LOVE doing at weddings is getting genuine laughing shots…

Like I said earlier, Bobby & Mary did a phenomenal job with the details of the wedding. Everything was absolutely gorgeous.


Anyone who spends a lot of time with me will know that I pretty much have a permanent black bracelet around my wrist. However, it’s not a bracelet, it’s a rubberband. I try to always have one on hand because my hair is constantly getting in the way… right now I actually have one in my hair AND on my wrist… I wish I could have given one to this lady at the reception. Gotta give her credit for creativity! She’s using one of the ribbons from the wedding favors.

Congrats Mary & Bobby!
