Ariel and Ryan

Ariel and Ryan were married in October at St. Thomas Preservation Hall
Ariel's makeup was provided by Artistry by Sandy and the dress was styled by Ariel herself. She added the the pop or red to her gown -

She and Ryan are an awesome couple with fantastic taste in music- Ryan spins on the side and his music library is pretty vast.
He actually designed all of the playlists for the entire evening and everyone rocked out.

This was such a great experience I enjoyed their families so much.
Here are a few from their engagement session and their wedding day

Baby Meryn

Beautiful Baby Meryn!
She was so peaceful and happy.
Meryn was about 4 weeks when I worked with her- this explains how content Tyson ( the Boxer) was to curl up with her. It was as if he was saying- 'this is ALL I have wanted to do for the last month!'
I couldn't believe how well this worked out! Tyson was curled up with the baby for a good 10 minutes- and so wonderful the entire time.
Congrats on to Brian and Brooke for raising such a wonderful furbaby-
I can only image how Meryn will be.

Becca and Maddie

Becca has been a part of our family for as long as I can remember.
Her grandmother is one of my mother's closest friends and for the last few years they have been a part of our Thanksgiving feast.
This year Becca was old enough to do a full shoot- so here is a bit of our fun.
She has an amazing look- to be so young, she is fantastic in front of the camera. As much as I enjoy her smiling and laughing the serious side of her is just as fabulous.
Take a peek
Her friend Maddie came along too so of course she got some shots too!

This is Maddie- my father actually taught her mother!

These wonderful looks make you curious about what she's thinking

Becca could be selling this sweater-

I just can't believe it!-

Baby M

I love opportunities like this.
After coming off of a big wedding season it's always nice to shoot a session like this.
Maternity shoots can be very personal so I am going to let mom remain a mystery to you all.
Baby M is due November 11- we'll see if she makes it that long.

Check back to see the new Baby M.

Niki and Dave's wedding day

Niki and Dave were married at St Thomas Preservation Hall

This was a fantastic wedding. Niki and Dave did nothing but laugh and smile with each other the whole evening. You would never guess that we were all in the middle of a tropical storm the night before. Yep- the wind howled, the trees kissed the ground and, of course, the power went out but, in the end, by 4pm the next day it was as if it all never happened.

Thanks guys, for letting me be a part of such a great time.
