My mom and I made a special trip to Illinois to take these photos (and to visit my Grandma, of course!). A few of the family members have known me since I was a baby! :) We shot the pictures at a park right next to the Mississippi River. It ended up being a perfect evening for photos (well, maybe besides the wind!). :)
Photographing the Snyder family was such a fun shoot for me. I met most of the family back in my junior high and high school days (sooo long ago). It was so great seeing everyone again & meeting the new kids in the family!
Let me just first admit that during this shoot, I was an absolute nervous wreck! Peter & I met in photography school a few years ago & instantly became great friends. He wasn't just any regular photography student that attended OIP&T, he happened to be the most talented photographer in the entire school at that time! His work was (& still is) absolutely beautiful. Talk about pressure, right!? :) I'm photographing Peter & Mindi's wedding next year in Ohio and I can't wait! It seriously means so much to me that they chose me to photograph their day!
(Peter is the photographer behind the super cute pictures of Dan & I that are on my website .. back when Dan and I were in our skinny days) :)
Kathryn & Scott are such a sweet couple. Dan and I had so much fun taking their engagement pictures (& were so thankful the weather was perfect!). I'm really looking forward to photographing their wedding in October!
Our little Penny turned one on Thursday and of course we had to celebrate. I'm so that person that puts birthday hats on their dogs and decides it's time for a photo shoot (see below). They look beyond thrilled to be wearing those ridiculous hats don't you think? :)
