L.O.V.E.

In honor of Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I'd post some old engagement pictures that never made it on the blog. I just love getting to know couples and their love story! Both of these brides-to-be grew up in Norman (my hometown) and the second one went to KU (my alma mater!) They're actually getting married on the same day, so I only get to do one of their weddings, but I'm super excited about it!

New new new...

So I figured for the New Year I should have a new resolution... to blog more!! Starting with all my clients whose sessions didn't get blogged, and what better to start with than some of the precious new babies!

Sweet R Family Sneek Peaks...

Oh wow I love this sweet family!! I've been taking pictures of Jackson since he was just one year old and now he's 4 and his little sis just turned 1! They are both just the cutestet things ever!! And I love little Addi's dresses, so presh! I promised her mommy I would post some pics of them on the blog before I finish editing, so enjoy...

Basil & Emily {Bazemi}

I'm so excited to finally share a few sneak peeks of this wedding...it was such a beautiful and fun wedding, I was honored to be a part of it! The ceremony was at McFarlin in Norman and the reception was at the Stadium Club. This couple is not only beautiful, but they are super fun and also very generous (they donated to the Haiti relief fund instead of having wedding favors, such a cool thing to do!) We did our little survey with Emily and Basil...

{When and how did you meet?}
-We both grew up in Norman so we first met 16 years ago! We were friends before we started dating.





















{What's something interesting about you guys?}
- We live in Singapore. (I'd say that's pretty interesting, and cool!)














































{What is one word you'd use to describe each other?}
Emily :: GO GETTA
Basil:: CLEVER

A day in the life... {of a 2 year old}

So after shooting these sessions back to back, I realized how similar they were and thought I should just post them together! Both of these cuties just turned 2 (we did Riley's shoot on her actual birthday!) and they are both babies I got to photograph as newborns (everyone knows I love to see my newborn clients when they grow up)

We did more of a lifestyle/documentary session with both of these babes, which was perfect since two year olds are busy busy! I just followed them around while they played with their favorite things and did activities they love to do. Riley was at her grandma's house where she likes to pick and water flowers and William was at his house playing with his favorite car and chalk. One last thing they had in common...both are super sweet and super SMART! I enjoyed playing with them...
