wedding of Brett and Christy

I seriously have five or 6 weddings from the past few months that have yet to be blogged... I don't know why I never get around to blogging weddings, but I don't.  However last Thursday I got to tag along with Tonya Joy and photograph this gorgeous couple, and thought that I may as well turn over a new leaf, and start to blog all the beautiful weddings I have gotten to do with her!  Over the next few weeks I'm going to try and get everything blogged... so wish me luck.

Let's start with the obvious... Brett and Christy are GORGEOUS!  But they were also so friendly and kind... and as we got to watch them interact all day, it was so apparent that they are so, so in love.  I'd catch them kissing, or snuggling, or whispering to each other, and then pulling away to tenderly smile at each other all day long.  They were so sweet!  And I was so happy to get the chance to be a part of their special day.  Congrats to you, Brett and Christy!

A few weeks ago I donated a session to an auction benefitting The Ruby Jane Foundation.  If you have not yet heard the story of sweet Ruby, I encourage you to visit the link and learn more about her.  That sweet baby girl passed away while waiting for an organ donation to save her life.  The mission of the foundation created in her name is to raise awareness of the importance of organ donation, and to encourage people to sign up to become donors.  I can't imagine the pain a family would feel to lose a baby... I am sure there aren't words for the intensity of it.  But I know that her family is passionate about helping to save other families from the pain they have endured.  This is the season of giving and sharing... I can't think of a better, or simpler, way to serve than to sign up to be a donor!  Please visit the the foundations website to learn more about what you can do to help this cause!

I was thrilled to get an email from Stephanie on Friday saying she had won the package, and had a 4 day old she wanted to get some pictures of.  I was so happy to get to meet her, and to shoot this beautiful newborn.  As much as I love shooting families, by the end of Christmas picture season, I am itching to shoot something else, and we all know how much I love shooting newborns!  I jumped at the chance to get him so small, and scheduled an appointment for the next morning.  He was such a wonderful baby... so sleepy, and content.  He let us move him all around, change his outfits, backdrops, etc., and never made a peep.  I loved getting to know his parents, and adorable older brother, Bennett.  It is safe to say that there is no shortage of love for this little man!

Seriously... if this little face doesn't make you even a little baby hungry, I don't know what will.  What a beautiful 5 day old!  He was the perfect model for me today... a champion sleeper...and didn't make a peep the entire session.  And check out that head of hair!  Such a handsome boy... full post coming soon!

I was SO excited to get to see baby Claire and her parents this weekend!  I shot her as a newborn, and it was beyond fun to get to shoot her again at 6 months old and see how she's changed.  There might not be a happier baby in all the world... she was so smiley and happy the whole time!  This is just the sneak... wait until you see the full post!
