Baby M!

Just received a text from Emily... baby M is on the way today! They have been anxiously waiting all this week for the moment when they meet the little one! Wanted to share a few special shots from Emily and Derek's maternity session a few months ago. Hope everything goes well - I can't wait to meet Lil' M!

Ben's session

I would like to begin this post by saying... Wow... no, double Wow!! Ben, I have never met a guy quite like you! Not only did you thoroughly entertain me with your wit (I am a sucker for entertainment), you humored my every creative whim! Not to mention FOUR hours into your shoot (as the last few streaks of sun are almost gone) you offer to pose for even MORE pics!! NO WAY! I have had many a grad session but you might just take the cake for endurance!!! I know, I know... I'm still talking about it! Here's just a few from the session.

Oh, and for the record... Ben was not using the peacocks for target practice - they just happened to be hangin' out in the yard!

Ty and Sara - part 2

A few more images from Ty and Sara's session...

Ty and Sara

I had the privilege of photographing Ty and Sara recently. They are adorable!! Recently engaged and planning a July 4th wedding - they can't hardly wait! I Love the direction their shoot took. From the gorgeous classic vintage car (thanks to Grandpa Hoerr's privet collection) to the playful soccer pics. Ty kept us giggling with his one liners and hilarious stories! You guys are terrific!! Check out part one of their session. xoxo -Laura

Afternoon in the park.

Stella was thrilled to spend a warm afternoon at the park. 61 degrees and the three of us had no complaints... mud or no mud ... we didn't mind! Yes, I am a proud new doggie-mom! Couldn't resist grabbing my camera and skipping out of work early with little sis to soak up some sun. A few photographs to share! ;)

Isabella

I had the pleasure of photographing Isabella on her first birthday... She is adorable! Just a few highlights from her portrait session

expect the unexpected!

I had the privilege of photographing Ryan and Kelly recently. A sweetheart session just for fun - hoping to capture the two of them ... young and in love... and they totally are! You can't miss the fact that they are best friends. Kelly was quick to tell me about her idea. Images to share with their own family someday... We laughed together speculating how 20 years from now their kids will find these images and say "Wow! Mom and Dad were young once!! -- and so cute! I love this idea! Here's to a fun and fabulous february!
