Sanctuary Engagement Shoot With TJ and Michelle

TJ and Michelle will be getting married in May of next year at the Sanctuary. When talking to them about their engagement pictures they said they would like to take them at the place where they will be getting married. What a great idea, the Sanctuary offers so many different ideas for photography. I can only wait for their wedding. Honestly saved some great locations for the actually wedding day.
I really enjoy this couple, very straight forward, they know what they want. TJ looks at Michelle with such love in his eyes, anything for her. Can I just say that I am so jealous of Michelle's hair, beautiful! OK I have to share this with you, the Sanctuary is a very NICE resort and spa. It was rather empty in the restaurant when we started, by the time we finished the restaurant was pretty full. Well we had just finished up and were walking through the restaurant to collect our stuff to leave when I trip on the stairs and of course could NOT let my camera hit the ground. Just a little embarrassing. All in all it was a great session with TJ and Michelle.:-)

~George and Catherine~

Image
I met Catherine just about a month before her wedding and truly liked her instantly. When we met she came alone and was so calm about her wedding and what she was looking for. I was pleased she booked me and looked forward to working with her and meeting George. When I got to Catherine's house she was again very calm and taking her time getting ready. That is when I met George for the first time, he to was very calm taking his time getting ready. The wedding was very simple, two people in love getting married. Once the I do's were said the rest of the afternoon looked like the next few images. Giddy, smile's, more smiles of joy. I loved watching them and would get caught up in the moment. Had to remind myself to take pictures:-) Catherine looked so beautiful, very classy and George so handsome, movie star couple status I would say. Again, more smiles, giggles and glances. It was so special to watch, I mean to take pictures of.;-) To look over the pictures one would not noti

Ahh Stella

Image
When you get an email from the sister of a past pride asking if you could take pictures of her 6 month old baby girl, you say sure! When she ask you if you can meet at her sister-in-laws house to take the picture because she has a "fun house" you reply yes. Then you show up and see this beautiful baby girl and this incredibly decorated shabby chic house, you burst with excitement inside.. That is just what happened. Elaine emailed me to see if I could take pictures of Stella and asked if we could meet at her sister-in-laws house. Well, you can see for yourself that Stella is beautiful and the house was a photographer's dream. Elaine had all her own idea's for Miss Stella. We had so much fun and Stella was a trooper to say the least. I loved how Stella would smile at her mommy over and over again. She is truly a happy baby. This shoot inspired me to convert some of my office into a studio. I called my friend Nancy after the shoot and was blabbing away on how much fun
