I have spent the last 3 weekends shooting non-stop.  And it’s been awesome!  I’ve had so much fun…added so much to my portfolio…and met some cool new people.  Here’s a rundown of what’s been goin’ on…

Two weekends ago, Matt and I and our photography buddy Courtney shot the wedding of Kyle & Laurie (or Lyle & Kaurie if you ask Matt).  It was absolutely beautiful.  I’ve shot several weddings…but this is one of the ones I will remember forever.  These two had so much love and respect for one another.  And I’ve never seen such an amazing display of faith in a wedding before.  Here are some of my favorite images…

Then last weekend Matt and I loaded up Addi, Ivy, and Naula for trip to my parents’ house.  Matt is performing my brother’s wedding ceremony in October, so we had to do some pre-marital counseling and an engagement session.  And of course, I can’t go home and not photography my nephew, Hunter.  Here are some of my favorite pics from this trip…

Tony & Katie…and Bella & Roxie

Then this weekend we shot a senior session for Brandon on Saturday (Matt is always my lead photographer when it comes to boys.  He’s much better at posing them than I am.)  And on Sunday, I went out and shot with two friends of mine just for fun.  We did a “Trash the Dress” day and took 6 models all over Lebanon just having fun.  Here are this weekend’s photos…

And my personal fave…

Our models…Hannah, Jill, Ashlee, Becca, Millie, and Makenzi

Makenzi…my muse!

A new way to look at painting!

I’m really behind in editing, so I don’t have time to go into all the details of our crazy weekend.  But I did want to post a couple of my favorite shots.  Long story short…Matt and I went home to Illinois to visit family.

This is my 8 month old nephew, Hunter…

And this is one of my brother’s engagement photos.  I couldn’t help but love this one!!

Princess’s mom is out of town, so her grandpa came to pick up her prize today.  Here he is, proudly displaying all of Princess’s glory!

We rented a couple of lenses for this past weekends wedding, including a Sigma 20 1.8…and it’s fabulous!!!  I have to have one.  So it is now officially on my wish list and WILL be my next big purchase.

It goes back tomorrow.  So while we still have it, we took advantage of it and gots some fun new photos of our dogs.  Enjoy!
