Camille: 6 months

I met with the Malinowski family again this past weekend for Camille's 6 month photos. I had a session with them in December of 2010 (Malinowski Family) and we had such a great time! This session was primarily for Camille, who is 6 months old and as cute as can be! We managed to get a few with her big sis, Addison, as well. She is a character and a half!

Camille is probably one of the most, if not THE most, happy babies I have ever met. She smiles from ear to ear non-stop, and I just love being around her! Enjoy the sneak peak :)



I love putting together composites like this. They really show off the child's personality!


Addison was such a great sport about having Camille on her back! Camille sat there and pulled & ate Addison's hair, but you can see that Addison thought it was hilarious!


Every so often Addison started attacking Camille with kisses. So adorable!

Darcy & Bill: Engaged!

Craig and I met Darcy and Bill a while ago through some of our good friends. They got engaged a few months ago and were finally able to set a date recently! :) They are just an awesome couple and were really fun to photograph. We used her grandparents house which is located right on a lake, and it was such a beautiful scenery! I was the most excited about the awesome barn next door at her aunt's house (if you know me, you know I am all about the natural, rustic feel for photos). Darcy brought a lot of fun props which really added to photos.

I had the awesome opportunity to hop on a boat for some photos too! It's been so long since I've been on a boat, so even though it was only for 5 minutes, it was still fun! Their wedding is 06-11-11 (such a cool date!), and she is going to look exquisite! Enjoy their sneak peak! :)



The one below was taken from the boat. ;)

Even though it was overcast pretty much the entire time, sometimes the sun peaked through the clouds and gave us a chance for photos like the one below :)

This one on the bottom left is one of my favorites. It's so natural; no posing, just them in a moment in between photos. Love it!


Isn't her ring *gorgeous*???




I love shots like the one's below! They were in their own world and I love it!




They have a thing about styrofoam cups ;)

Jennifer & Brad: Engaged!

Brad & Jennifer contacted me a few weeks ago about engagement photos. Through our e-mails I could tell that she was a very energetic, happy person and I couldn't wait to photograph them! We met up at Crane's Roost (which was where they had their first date), and it really is a beautiful location. They were a lot of fun to photograph and I hope to have more sessions with them in the future!
p.s. Just look at her eyes! They are a-mazing!





Okay, maybe I had a slight obsession with her shoes. They are so fun aren't they?


The lighting led to some really romantic shots :)


I love her stance here...no posing necessary!



With so many birds around us, he's lucky all he got was a feather on his head! ;)



I love shots like these :)

There is something about this photo below that I absolutely love. I think Jennifer has the perfect expression on her face and looks gorgeous--and then Brad looking at her the way he is just adds so much more! :)

Na & Chris: Married!

Na & Chris found me a little while back, and when they described their up-coming wedding to me, I got SO excited! She told me it would be a Cambodian wedding, and part of that entails wearing many different dresses (what can I say, I love dresses!). Their 2-day wedding finally arrived last weekend, and it was definitely one for the books! The ceremony started on Friday morning and lasted throughout the entire day. There were so many unique traditions incorporated into this wedding, I just wish I understood it all (time to do some research!). Every little detail was so meaningful to the Cambodian culture, and the family support was incredible.

Saturday was the reception, which was about 6 hours. This time it was at a reception hall in Haines City (the ceremony was at her parents home). This was a gorgeous location, and it was massive! It had to be to accommodate all 350+ guests! The authentic Cambodian band played throughout the entire evening, and it was all just so incredible. Enjoy the sneak peak: it was so difficult choosing which photos to show for this one! :)



The groom and the guests walked in a parade led by the groom. They eventually met the bride and offered her gifts (which is what everyone here is carrying). Amazing :)










The beautiful reception site


SO many people grouped up for the bouquet toss...even the guys!


I love moments like these



Isn't she just gorgeous? :)




They had a TEN course meal. That's right; 10. And it was all *delicious*!








These lovely ladies were part of the Cambodian band and they were fantastic!






The wedding party, bride and groom :)
