I’m so excited to include Carey in my week of favorites this year. Her wedding to Eric was an absolute joy to be a part of. I’ve known Carey since right after college, when we were living in tiny city apartments, navigating our first real jobs and just trying to figure out life. Since then, she’s only become a better person. These images are extra wonderful to me because they showcase her style. I love the veil. I adore the lace dress. And that expression? That’s a Carey staple.
You are gorgeous, Carey.

Tomorrows the final post in the series for 2011! I can’t believe it. Stay tuned for something just a bit different.

This session, hands down, is a favorite. Maddy was a blast to shoot, a natural in front of the camera and an all around great girl. Plus, she’s gorgeous!

To me, this picture is perfection. Between the creamy skin, the amazing hair, the perfect angle and the “almost” expression, it just takes my breath away.

Lauren and Dmitriy are a part of this list for a variety of reasons. First, this photo just makes me smile every time I see it. I love the strands of lights in the background. I love the curve of Lauren’s neck. And I love that it was a spontaneous moment. Second, they are two of the most wonderful, kind people I’ve ever met. And their marriage just seems like plain fun.

It was a toss up for me on these two as well. I love seeing such genuine joy on my clients faces. And Lauren was probably the most joyful bride I had this year. Plus, isn’t she gorgeous?

I seem to really be having problems narrowing down my photos. I just can’t pick one. This session is an all time favorite of mine. These two are truly wonderful people, and anyone who has as many dogs, goats and chickens as they do, just deserve some recognition! The cars, the animals and their wonderful personalities just won me over.


Truly a wonderful family!

Everything about this session was a dream. (You may even remember this gorgeous family from last years list of favorites!) This was the very end of the day, right as the sun was setting behind the mountains and baby Brody was starting to get tired. Everything just came together for the shot on the left. Definitely one of my favorites!

I had so much fun last year spending a week chronicling my favorite images of 2010. I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to do it all over again for 2011. This was such an incredibly fulfilling year for me. I feel so incredibly humbled and blessed that I was able to accomplish so many of my goals and I truly enjoyed getting so know so many new clients and friends. I have a big, huge cyber hug for all of you for following along with my journey. (Seriously, you only think I’m kidding.) So, get ready folks, there is a week of fun headed your way!
Dara’s shoot was so. much. fun. It was the perfect senior session to kick off my year, and my week of favorites. (And yes, I have problems only picking one.)


Really, gorgeous.
