Field of Dreams

Every now and then, someone comes along whose light illuminates a dark world. 

Every now and then, someone comes along who inspires us...

-excerpt from poem by Randy Gresham

Stephanie is that someone for so many people.  She continually inspires me with her deep faith, love, kindness, and energy.  I have loved getting to know her sweet boys who never cease to entertain me...seriously they are hilarious.  I never leave this family without a huge smile on my face, and I'm sure you won't be able to either.

meet Arrow.  That's right- their pet frog. :)

 Song, my dear, dear friend is moving away soon and we only have a few more shoots to do together until our paths cross again.  Check our her blog here for some more adorable shots of this family.

A very happy Father's Day, to you!

Red Steel

Gosh I'm so glad to know this guy and his lovely wife, Christina.  Amazing friends and amazing musicians!  My favorite part about these photos would have to be Ben's red cello case and his awesome cowboy boots.  Oh, and his Blue Steel pose.  You'll see that at the end ;)

And now for some bloopers....(don't hate me Ben ;))  

Meet Baby Madeline {5 weeks old}

Nick and Adrienne are great friends of ours from Penn State.  I am so glad I was able to meet up with them again and meet their darling girl, Madeline.  She is beautiful, just like her mamma.  Congratulations!!

Dear Mamma: I Love You

When I first met Katie, I couldn't BELIEVE she had just had a baby a few days earlier.  She looks so fabulous!  And her little guy is an absolute angel!  He slept and slept...and slept some more.  I don't think I heard a peep out of him the whole time.  Thank you, Katie, for sharing your little ones with me.  They are so beautiful.

To Katie and all the wonderful mammas out there, "Happy Mother's Day!"

What a beautiful day!  Sunlight streaming through trees, bright blue sky...it was lovely.  And listening to Marlisa play her violin made the session even more lovely!  She is an amazing violinist whom I have the privilege of knowing and working with.  Thanks for letting me spend the afternoon with you, listening to you play!
