once again...

i always love getting behind the camera with this family. the sweet smile of that little girl and the gorgeous blue eyes of that boy make it so easy. of course, i am a little partial since this is my sister and her babies, but still. there's no denying that they're absolutely adorable.

love is in the air.

I took these two lovebirds out for pictures a few weeks ago. They kept saying, "We're not gonna be good at this..." and then they'd giggle and look at each other. Which is basically the most perfect thing couples can do on an engagement shoot. :) We had so much fun running all over town in some intense wind (that I can't manage to avoid), and got some fun shots!

Have I ever mentioned my love of old, preferably slightly busted out windows?

See them kissing in the viewfinder? Cute, no? aren't they sweet?

love 'em!

I absolutely, 110%, completely and totally love doing senior sessions! They're so stinkin' cool! And dressed in clothes that make me green with envy! And they will do anything I ask them to do...Katie was absolutely no exception. I dragged her all over downtown shooting in some pretty crazy wind (it won't leave me alone!) and even when I missed a turn TWICE and made us loop around a block two full times before parking in front of a random alley, she kept on smiling. Oh, and that tu-tu, of course, has a cute story behind it...when in doubt, wear a tu-tu...

Oh, how I wish I could bottle up the sun and pour it into pictures just like this every time...

wind schmind.

We almost blew right away during this shoot! It was crazy! Thirty minutes before the shoot began, it was a beautiful sunny day...then all of a sudden, blustery gusts came whooshing in!But it didn't stop these two from being all cute and cuddly...not one little bitty bit!

I've been in a very vintagey mood these days...

puppies, hats, beautiful family...

perfect combination.

red, red, red!

red hat + red jacket + red tutu + red shoes = adorable!
