I’ve been documenting her life A LOT these days.
There’s a good chance she might show her little face around here more often.

Shout out to Margo Walker for second shooting with me at this wedding!

This session was schemed up months ago, when the hope for snow was high. And just when we thought winter would never arrive, it did. One snowy afternoon, I met up with this family and here is glimpse of what was captured.

As a wedding and portrait photographer, this tends to be the slow time of year. I’ve been taking complete advantage of this time to work on some personal projects. It’s nice. One project consisted of taking 1 roll of film, which equates to 12 exposures for my camera, and visiting 3 different locations. You seriously have to put a lot of thought into each exposure and that’s the part I love. My mom (photographed below) asked me if it was more stressful shooting that way. To be honest, I think it’s less. It really forces you to slow down and think about each exposure. It’s almost a relaxing process. When you shoot digitally it’s easy to let yourself shoot, shoot, shoot and shoot and before you know it you’ve racked up 100-200 images – most of which you will toss anyways because you weren’t thinking. So here you have it, ALL 12 images we made, one windy Sunday afternoon.

My Uncle was married this last September. When he told me they were having the ceremony and reception in their backyard, there is no way I could have pictured a more beautiful location. Having never been to Florida – or anywhere down in the south for that matter – I couldn’t believe how green everything was. That part of the country is completely breathtaking. Though I can’t say I’d voluntarily pack my bags and move there; the humidity and I don’t quite get along.

Here are a few of my favorite images from Ron & Michelle’s ceremony. Before you go any further, take note: Michelle made her own wedding dress. Talk about some serious talent! Oh and the guy in the goofy glasses? That’s my dad! Fortunately, he only wears those glasses on special occasions. :)
