KAITLYN & COLT – 10.1.2016

Filed under: lifestyle,love,marry me,wedding — admin at 11:12 am on Friday, March 31, 2017

As promised …

GORGEOUS!

ISN’T SHE GORGEOUS!

It rained and misted off-and-on all day – but we managed to find some time to sneak in portraits!

Like most shots that I end up LOVING – this wasn’t planned – just a BEAUTIFUL accident!

Sisters and speeches.

First dances. Tears and smiles.

Father daughter dances – more tears!

Mother-son dances. I CANNOT keep it together!

PRECIOUS!

Kaitlyn & Colt – thank you SO much for asking me to spend the day with you!

I typically meet with my bride and groom in person before the wedding – but I met Kaitlyn on her wedding day!

Getting ready pictures are some of my FAVORITE shots!

GORGEOUS!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

And those ones – MY FAVORITE!

Sweet baby girl!

She asked specifically for this shot – to recreate a picture from Colt’s parents wedding!

Stay tuned for the rest of their BEAUTIFUL day!

Autumn – I LOVE watching your little family grow!

OH SWEET BABY!

ADORABLE!

It’s not right. I shouldn’t be jealous of a newborn’s hair!

Autumn & Ryan – I cannot WAIT to see you this fall!

NEWBORN

Adrianne contacted me about newborn photos for her daughter!

Sheri and JC – I did their PA Grand Canyon session this fall – recommended me to her! Thanks guys!

This might be one of my favorite lifestyle sessions!

OH MY HEART – I love those two shots!

MY FAVORITE!

OH! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

That last one – his blurry foot in the corner. Momma cradling her baby girl. LOVE!

The whole family!

Adrianne – thank you so much for welcoming me into your home! I hope to see you again soon!

I’ve been taking photos for Sheri & JC for FIVE YEARS! I look forward to their sessions every year!

This year – they asked if I would join them on one of their favorite hikes – at the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon!

I forgot that I was supposed to meet them in town and follow them out – so we had a little later start than I intended – but it worked out BEAUTIFULLY!

JUST LOOK AT THAT SCENERY – I knew this was gonna be a good one!

THIS WAY FOR ADVENTURE!

This truly was a lifestyle session!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that last shot! Perfect focus is totally over-rated!

I love those shots! I’m gonna call you out here Sheri – every year she says – maybe a couple of us – but mostly just the kids!

GET IN THE PICTURE! When your kids are older – they will have so much joy having pictures with their parents in them!

Lifestyle sessions are the BEST way to get you photo-shy people IN THE PICTURE!

THOSE pictures on the other hand – I do not love so much.

Gross. Ugh. Ack. I wouldn’t even really tell you that I’m afraid of heights – but THIS gives me a panic attack! ALL THE NOPE!

Another long one – I mean – they are all long – because I have that over-shooting problem I mentioned – but COME ON! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PICK!

I hope you’re still with me!

MIGHT BE THE BEST FAMILY SHOT I’ve EVER taken of them!

Sheri & JC – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to come along on a hike – it turned out to be one of my FAVORITE sessions of 2016!

Maybe – just maybe next year you can take me to Hawaii with you for your yearly session! We are running out of new places to shoot!

I met Dan almost two years ago – when he did my Doctor Who tattoo – little did I know that I would continue to get a full ARM of geek tattoos!

I connected with his wife and we’ve become friends!

This is going to be a LONG post – because I had WAY TOO MANY favorite shots!

ISN’T HE JUST ADORABLE!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

OH MY WORD! Isn’t he SO ADORABLE!

Dan & Kait – I am so thankful that I walked in those door two years ago – YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!

Thank you so much for asking me to photograph your family!

Little *A* was due before Christmas – but as you may know -babies don’t really pay attention to due dates!

This guy – he reminds me of my Enoch – those crazy second-born boys!

A little sister!!
