Cairns {Family love}

I love shooting families. Portrait sessions and weddings are wonderful, but there is something about a family shoot that I just adore so much, and that's love. Love that is showed from the parents, the kids, all of them together, their love for other things, i'm literally getting to capture their lives and show the world how much they love one another. That never gets old for me. :) This month I shot the beautiful Cairns family. Courtney, the oldest, is one of my dearest friends and it was such a joy to take the family pictures. They are a wonderful, outgoing, enthusiastic, LOVING, and precious family.



When Mr. Cairns got there he mentioned how he was cold, so all the kids ran up to him and screamed "HUG OF WARMTH!!" as they wrapped their arms around him. Totally a highlight of the day.


Little miss personality popping, sass master, cute as can be, Carly. :)


Yay for sisters!


Hey there gorgeous family.


What can I say, they reaaallyyy love each other. ;)

{You need an update}

God, in this total faithfulness, saw my need and provided me with a lot of shoots this past week. (And this coming week.) These shoots have blessed and brought so much joy to me as i'm on the job. Another great aspect was that I was finally able to purchase the Nikkor 50mm 1.4 lens. (!!!) I've wanted this bad boy for quite some time now, but I honestly didn't think i'd be getting it anytime in the near future since the cost was so high.

I've been swarmed with school, shoots, and editing the past weeks. I've also been faced with a lot of deadlines for this business and it's all just been a lot. A blessing, but a lot. Now that I have this awesome lens, I decided I needed to just stop editing, blogging, working, doing homework, and just go on a Chipotle & downtown date with a friend. It was very needed. :) (And maaaybe I was really craving a burrito bowl? ;)



(I've decided that one burrito bowl could feed a starving kid in Africa for a week. :P)

Hogan Family

I had the pleasure of shooting the Hogan family this week! "Officially" it was Dad's shoot so I was able to go and second shoot, which was really awesome. Patrick contacted us because he needed new pictures for the political literature that he puts out to help his campaign. This is the second time i've done a shoot for the only purpose of using them for literature. Last time, dad got a perfect picture for them and they really wanted to recreate that. :) They are all so gorgeous and it was great to work with them!
