iheartfaces photo challenge: Dramatic B&W!

I have always loved black and white photos. There's just something about them! I've been messing around with different ways to achieve the dramatic black and white look for my photos and finally came up with what I thought was the perfect post-processing process...then it got erased and I have NO idea what steps I used to accomplish the look. Back to the drawing board I guess! Here is my most recent/favorite black and white!



I love how you can read his mind... "What's going on in there?!" Such a cutie!

Spring Has Sprung!



Don't you just l.o.v.e Spring! Being outside with the kids and enjoying the sunshine, swinging in the backyard, blooms popping up everywhere. It's wonderful! Now only if it would last for more than a day at a time! 
Be watching the blog for an announcement of a few giveaways on other blogs (Some floral prints, they look gorgeous framed!). And leave me some feedback! I never ask for that, but I'd love to hear from you!

Noah & Gavin

{I'm super frustrated with facebook right now! It's not uploading my photos..then I remembered HEY! I have a blog too....}

You'd never guess from the blizzard that's happening outside right now that these pictures were taken two days ago! I met Noah & Gavin (and their mom of course!) at the park on a gorgeous *almost* spring day. Unfortunately it was realllly muddy out and the boys got a little dirty, but you can't tell that in most of the photos :)  Here are a few favorites...

I Heart Faces "Jump For Joy"





I have SOO many jumping photo's, it's really hard to pick just one...I'll have to submit one right now and later post all of the great shots. Take a look over at iheartfaces.com to see the rest of the entries!


Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to get a group of that size and different ages to jump at the same time? Well I think the picture shows that it's pretty impossible! And hilarious!

Jenni + Matt

You can't tell in these photos, but it was absolutely FREEZING the day I shot Jenni and Matt's engagement photos! Thankfully they were tough and made jokes about the cold instead of complaints :)  Their wedding is in May and I'm very excited, these two are obviously, plain as day in love and their personalities really compliment each other well. They are also a great example of using color when you get portraits taken! A lot of times people are afraid to wear bright colors and stick with Black or White, but you can see how a little pop of color can add so much to the picture. Here are a few favorites. Thanks for letting me be a part of this, Matt & Jenni!

iheartfaces Photo Challenge: Hillarious Outtakes

 Monday Challenge! 

I have some pretty funny pictures from the past year, but no one ever wants to see anything but the "good ones" so I thought I'd enter this contest and post a few funny shots :)


I loved this one so much I went ahead and edited it and gave it to her parents :)



Engagement pictures...with a hilarious couple (I don't think they thought I'd be snapping photos of everything they were doing , haha)


My adorable children...trying to get a good photo of them and he squeezes her a little too tight!
