How amazing is this bride and groom?   These two could not have been more exciting to work with.  Both were ON TIME (rare, I know!) and super willing to make everyone's day more comfortable and fun, from the guests to us photographers!  The Grand America is such a fantastic place to shoot, if you are interested you HAVE to talk to Lexi Casalino!  A big thanks to A and K for being so amazing to photograph!  I had a blast hanging out with you on your special day!

seniors and weddings, you may ask? but here is a quick glance at what I have been up to the last few shoots.  fun, fun, fun~!  more on the way!

Wedding season is in full swing and I am loving every minute!  A great photo shoot the day of the wedding, in the heat of the chaos, is a challenge I feel proud that I can always pull off.  I won't even mention the FABULOUS clients I have that help with tons of patience, tenacity and the gift of letting me run with creative ideas that happen spur of the moment. ;)  I seriously have the BEST brides ever!  Thanks ladies!

Baby Julia, you are an utter joy to be around!  I want to squish every roll of chunky loveliness and take you home with me.  Love, Auntie Miyo

VaVAVOOM!  This bride and groom were steaming up my lens!  What a great photo shoot this was last night.  The clouds parted and the rain stopped just in time to capture J&J the night before the wedding.  I am predicting that this afternoon will be clear and sunny just in time for the reception! :)

Love is all around!  This darling couple could not be better suited for one another!  Engagements are always so fun to shoot because of the happiness and chemistry the occasion of marriage brings out in everyone!  Thanks A and K, can't wait for the wedding! 

Elle is such a fun loving, energetic kid just on the edge of young ladyness... I think this pose and expression capture a moment where little girls are still little girls but just before the teenage attitude sets in.  Moms, hold onto the littleness of your daughters as long as possible! :)

Oh my!  This little beauty has the vocabulary and maturity of at least a 10 year old!  I had so much fun with Miss S this morning!  Thank you for spoiling me with your sweetness!

Sugar and Spice and all things NICE...  these little darling daughters could not have been better behaved!  I can already imagine how many helping hands their mom has around the house.  I am adoring the look of complete love on their little faces.  Thanks B family for introducing me to your latest lovely lady.

While waiting in a new location for the rest of the family, this mother and daughter just happened to snuggle up in the perfect spot.  I love that this daughter is not yet too old to refuse to openly cuddle with her mom. :)

Sweet baby Clair.  What a joy this little one is.  Such a sweet personality with beauty to spare.  Thank you for sharing her with me!

I am off for a 2 week beach vacation but before I leave I have to post from tonight's wedding.  This bride and groom are going to have many happy years together and I was honored to be a part of the celebration from start to finish.  More to come from a beautifully planned party! 

I would like to have a dozen of this little lady!  Sweet, happy and full of personality!  Thank you Miss Katie for brightening up my morning!

Wowsers!  This stunning beauty has an inside that matches her outside!  So kind and thoughtful!  I had such a great time photographing this Texan doll.  I am looking forward to the September wedding, I am sure that the groom is as lucky as he is deserving of such an incredible woman. :)

This was a Fantastic wedding!  Many thanks to S and R for including me in their special day.  The stunning dress is from ALTA MODA and the beautiful venue was Grand America.  How spoiled can I be!?  A wonderful bride and groom who just happen to be drop dead gorgeous and a setting that is beyond compare!  More to come as I am only part way through the 1500+ image edit! ;)
