A Sunday Kind of Love....

I'm so in-love with these beautiful people. Saprina and Scott are so genuine. She found this delicious place for their engagement pictures where we enjoyed a warm Sunday afternoon and a bit of a hike!
This first picture is one of my favorites. You can see how sincere Scott is. Aren't they lovely together!















If you look closely, you can see the shape of a heart on this huge tree. Perfect!

Scott and Saprina, thank you so much for a wonderful time. Your happiness is contagious and uplifting. I can't wait for your wedding!!!!

bun in the oven...

Last week I was invited to Jim and Emily's fabulous and cozy home for a belly session. Emily is a beautiful glowing mommy-to-be if I've ever seen one.







This home had some amazing places for shooting, and I think we took advantage of most of them. The rest, we'll save for when baby Ben is actually here.


These last two pictures are my favorite from the day. This first one reminds me a little of the picture at the end of "The Family Stone."

And although we planned this picture, I got the feeling that this could easily be a scene from their everyday life. (that's Molly in the corner. She's beautiful!)

Thanks so much Jim and Emily. I can't wait to meet your wonderful baby!

birthday boy

We've been a little busy lately. Sometimes I feel like I'm becoming a cliche of the "busy soccer mom", but that's okay with me most days. This past weekend we celebrated Nathan's birthday with another busy day including a visit to meet our new nephew, a soccer game, a baby shower, and finally games in the Man-loft at his sister's house. He was a little over dramatic with blowing out all ONE candle that I had for his cake.



Seth...enjoying the birthday bash.

Sunday morning, Jacob said, "Can today just not be a big day, and we can just stay home and play outside or something?"
We thought that was a good idea. Nathan hung a hammock up for us and we had a very 'not-big' day. Jacob was too busy collecting rocks to be in any pictures, but soon, it will be his turn to shine.


school of love....

Last week I met Matt and Sara at UofA for their engagement shoot. They were a lot of fun, but I realized how out-of-shape I really am when my legs hurt the next day from all of our walking. Aren't they adorable?









Thanks Matt and Sara for a great day. You're so cute, and I can't wait for your wedding!
