All booked up & maternity leave

I just wanted to give a little notice again that I will be on maternity leave ALL of July & August and the rest of my June calendar has booked solid. I will be available on a limited schedule to do everything EXCEPT a photo shoot.

I will not be scheduling any appointments for photo shoots for ALL of JULY & AUGUST.

I will be scheduling meetings for upcoming weddings, new weddings and album consultations
I will be accepting reprint orders - please be patient with the new mommy - it will take longer to process & deliver
I will be returning calls and emails - again, PLEASE be patient with me =)

I have been so busy lately and have been keeping my blog entries to a minimum so I will have some stuff to share over the time I'm out. I have had some unbelievable shoots lately - just amazing people that I'm working with. I am always SO lucky!

I am very excited to welcome our second child into the world, especially a boy. Having a boy and girl is what I have always dreamed of and I can't believe our family is about to be complete. On another note - I AM SOOOOOOOOOO READY TO NOT BE PREGNANT ANYMORE!!! =)

LAURIE & DEVON - MAY 27

I spent a lot of time with Laurie right before her wedding and became such a big fan. She is such a happy, positive person and she just radiates when she smiles. Her and Devon have an amazing connection. They have been in each other's lives for about 10 years since they were very young and were finally married a few weeks ago. They had a beautiful ceremony, which brought me to tears once and a great time dancing the night away.

Expecting Troy

I recently did the maternity photos for one of my most amazing past brides, Danielle. She is the sweetest, cutest thing and her belly is adorable. I wish I could share more of her images, especially with her husband Dmitri, but they were a little too private - but so amazing. =) They are welcoming their first son Troy in August and she better not beat me to the hospital...
Congratulations you guys, I am SO happy for you!





Dani and her beautiful daughters Jocelyn & Zoe.

JESSICA & KEVIN - MAY 19

Another super fun wedding, as usual. Jessica was surrounded by some of the coolest girls that just made the day so relaxed and fun. Despite the wind blowing a million mph, everyone was up for "whatever". You might remember this couple from a post I had of their engagement session where they were reinacting their cake topper. Here is what it looks like so check out the post and see how we did. =)






A few faces that I love to see at a wedding...

*****VACATION*****

I will be relaxing on Lake Coeur d'Alene for a week from Saturday, June 2nd - Saturday, June 9th. I will respond to emails & phone calls when I return. Yeeeeeeeeeeah!

ERIN & RICK - ENGAGEMENT

I wanted to leave a post before I go on vacation with some of my favorite images from a recent session. This was one of the coolest, funnest shoots I've ever had. This is a couple that had me booked for their wedding this July and I unfortunately had to cancel with them because of the baby. I was SO flattered when they contacted me and asked me to shoot their engagement photos - I was totally on board. I was even MORE excited when I heard that they wanted to dress in relaxed wedding attire for the shoot and just go have fun with it. Erin bought a second hand designer gown and totally rocked it. They had a ton of fun ideas and were totally willing to do anything I wanted them to do. Although it was THEIR idea to jump into the river & I was more than happy to be there to capture it. There were about 10 other shots I wanted to share but these were some of my favorites.
Thank you guys for the amazing time and letting me challenge myself. I am so glad I was still able to photograph you at your most special time. Congratulations!
