tom + justina

The snowflakes were very cooperative for our little session with tom + justina. We wandered around the abandoned university campus and found picturesque scenes everywhere we turned.  It was so fun to see these two together, although I have known justina for a few years, I just met tom that day, and was very impressed with his willingness to go along with my antics. I love all the shots of justina laughing...pure joy. So happy for you guys! 

Bebe Mercy: Six Months Later

Now that the holiday hoopla is coming to an end, I'm trying to get caught up on all of the photos from the last month. 

Hard to believe that only six months ago, we were doing this shoot with little mercy. She has become a little ball of cuteness and has amazing cheeks.  

One of my favorite things these girls do is scrunch their noses just like their mama. 

 A visit with these friends would not be complete without a random outdoor activity. This time: ice fishing. We bundled up and embraced the cold while chad and the girls caught some lunch. A great way to end 2013! 

The Year in Pictures: 2013

It seems quite surreal that 2013 is rapidly coming to a close. This has been a year of crazy transitions, new experiences, and a huge dose of the unknown. I have done my best to pull some courage out of my pocket and be willing to fail. Through it all, I have been continuously reminded of all of the good things in my life I didn't quite have eyes to see before.  

Without further adieu, here are my favorite photos from the year. It's a smattering of shots from family and engagement sessions, weddings and bar-be-ques, and treks to maine and africa. A huge thank you to all of you who struck a pose for me and were extremely patient as I ventured out on this new photography endeavor. (special shout out to the elephants, who were very cooperative). Getting to capture these moments has been delightfully fun. 

Happy New Year!
