together

It was one of those evenings you can only hope for in mid August. The warm breeze was perfect. Not too hot not too cool... but, just right. With sunset quickly approaching we walked up Oak Street entertained by the sights and sounds of a baseball game about to begin. There is a very obvious photogenic gene that runs in this family! The little boys defiantly stole the show with their adorable outfits and cute smiles! I couldn't help but, giggle when Gabriel told me, "I think I'm all smiled out!" Here's a quick snapshot of the evening...

rosie's sneak peak

Rosie has amazing style! I am incredibly jealous of her confidence to wear wild colors and crazy combinations. Her personality is totally energetic and funky - and not only that, she is a very talented artist as well! Wow! We had an exciting shoot - I absolutely had to post these! There are so many more just as beautiful - check back soon to see more!

Tess

So, you've seen just a few highlights from Tess' senior session... Here are a few more just like I promised! Tess and her mom, Sally, saw all of the images for the first time this morning. Their reactions were worth the wait! Sally announced immediately, "Tess, you don't have any bad ones!" Tess and I both laughed. (for different reasons - I think...) I am still amazed and its been a week since her shoot. Tess is not capable of looking anything but absolutely adorable. I will stop now because Tess is probably blushing while reading this post... ;) Here's to you and your uber cuteness, Tess!

wade

Two afternoons, one hyper dog and lots of basketballs... Not to mention one hilarious sense of humor... that's you Wade. ;) Here's to me avoiding cow pies - (while carefully navigating through the pasture) but, finding the best shot!

tess - sneak peak!

Tess and I spent an early morning at I Know You Like a Book photographing the first portion of her session. We laughed and chatted and all was going great ... That is, until I bumped a small table - spilling its contents all over the floor- as seems to be my style! Tess had just arrived back home from visiting Europe with her girl friends and, of course, I was curious (not to mention jealous). With her morning session being finished we made plans to meet back up that evening to grab a few more shots outside the store. My favorite is the one outside at the cafe table... Tess is a natural model, always so graceful, I am envious! Her new puppy, Shotsie (named affectionately after her aunt) was.... I will admit.... a challenge! The puppy seemed to think Tess' was a large sized chew toy! By the end of the day, we'd had a great time with the shoot, made a mess or two (or three) and captured some beautiful images. Here is her sneak peak - I can't wait any longer! xo - Laura

Love Nest

Rosemary is a terrific new mom and very photogenic too - despite what she says! She and Baby B. have a certain gracefulness that is so precious - even the clicks our cameras are making won't do them justice. As I was talking to her from behind the lens I knew these would be some of my favorite from the summer. Even though the images look so soft and sweet - Dave and I are really trying to hold it together as Baby B's dad has us rolling with laughter. What a great afternoon! These are some of my favs...

Make sure to check out some of our specials on the "Love Nest" portion of our site.

- Enjoy!
