here comes the sun...

There is nothing I love more than sunlight...there's just something about being bathed in sun that makes anything pretty.


I purchased a few new lenses (mostly for wedding use) that showed up last week. I finally had a chance to go outside and play around with them...can't wait to use them on Chelsea's outdoor wedding this weekend!

The first is a 70-200 f/2.8 macro zoom lens. This lens will be especially helpful in dark churches, or for just about anything, including this:


For this picture I turned off my camera's autofocus to capture some beautiful out of focus bokeh.


The second lens is a Nikon 14-24 f/2.8 lens...a very, very wide angle. Great for getting up close and personal at wedding receptions, and other fun things. Including incredibly awkward self portraits sans makeup.


That is one, very long arm (and look at that forehead!)

On that note, the busy wedding season is beginning, and I will be very busy this summer...looking forward to using all of my fun new "toys" to capture your special day!

A few months ago I photographed Brooke's headshots in preparation for college dance team tryouts. I am so thrilled to tell you that Brooke made the 2010-2011 University of Kansas Rock Chalk Dancer team.

Baby George Preview

Even though I have a very important test tomorrow that I should be studying for, I decided I couldn't wait to edit a few of little George's pictures from his newborn session today. I just love his little red hair! He was great, and we were all very pleased that he finally fell asleep at the very end of the session.

Sweet Layla - Children

I am so spoiled photographing such beautiful children! I photographed a beautiful, little 8 month old named Layla recently. She has the prettiest eyes, long eyelashes, pretty little mouth (with a great pout), beautiful hair, gorgeous complexion...she's pretty much got it all! Not to mention, she was so well behaved! Here are just a few of my favorites of Layla
