I had the pleasure of shooting a wedding reception last month.  The bride and groom had actually been married about a month prior.  They ran off to a tropical island by themselves to get married- how romantic!  The reception was their chance to celebrate with family and friends.  I have never shot such a large event before; I had a lot of fun and learned a lot, too.  Following are some of my favorite pictures from the day:

There is something about that last one of the groom giving a toast I really like...

All in all, it was a great afternoon and I really appreciate being invited to share in the joy! 

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday with their friends and families!  I sure did.  Last weekend before the craziness of the holiday week began I shot a mini-session of the sweetest and most well-behaved children.  They were a joy to work with.  Here are a few pictures from that day, enjoy! 

I finally finished editing all the photos from the session last week.  There were a lot of great shots, but these few stood out as my favorites from the day!  

I apologize for my blog updates being a bit behind; I've been extremely busy with my "day job", family responsibilities, and the usual chaos that comes with the holidays.  However, I wanted to be sure and share this fun session.  After a few scheduling challenges, I finally got to meet this good-looking family to take some family portraits the other day.  Here is a sneak peek!    

I just love how you can see how much they still adore each other, even after many years of marriage and three teenagers :) 

As promised, here are a few more shots from Friday's session!

I got the chance to shoot some family pictures for one of my dearest friends today.  I had a great time capturing her adorable family!  I also think she did a fantastic job choosing outfits.  Love the coordinating yellow and blues!  Here is a sneak peek, more to come later!
