"I hope they call me on a Mission!"

One of the best things about being a photographer (or even a photographer wanna-be!) is being able to participate in milestones in people's lives--births, marriages, graduations....missions! This is the second pre-mission photo shoot I've done, and I must say that it was probably my favorite shoot to date. I had a blast chatting with Caitlin, who has a personality to match her eyes....beautiful! We were freezing cold (very odd September weather!) but just glad to have beat the big rain storm that came just a few hours after we were done.

Caitlin leaves for the Missionary Training Center next week. She'll be a great missionary!

Allie's wedding

I was delighted to be asked to be the photographer at Allie's wedding last month. I have known Allie and her family for over 10 years (in other words, since Allie was little!) so it was especially fun to be a part of her wedding. The day was gorgeous--not too hot for a mid-August D.C. wedding. I think Allie's dress is one of the prettiest I have EVER seen, and she looked stunning in it! Her new hubbie was looking pretty good himself!


Allie's niece was adorable!



I loved the color of the brides maids' and sisters' dresses. That's a beautiful group of women!

The men were good for a few fun shots. :)



The happy couple, next to the reflecting pool. See what I mean about that dress?!


And the groom....this looks like an ad for GQ!


This is one of my favorite pictures of the two of them.


The entire family (both sides) outside the temple. It was a large group to fit in the frame, and I had to stand with one foot in the flower garden. I tried not to kill any of the flowers!


This is another one of my favorites. The reception was held at a fire station, and the brick walls provided a perfect back drop.


The dancing at the reception was kickin'! I loved it! My kids joined in, too!

Yay! So much fun!
