Laura's Bridals

Last month my beautiful friend Laura married her best friend Nick. I've known both of them for several years now and I couldn't image two people better suited for each other. I was so happy when I learned that they were engaged, and even more excited when they asked me to be in their wedding! Nick proposed on a mountain top by reading Laura a heartfelt letter he wrote (swoon).

Laura really wanted a vintage, Anthropologie look for her bridal portraits. We went in search of the perfect location and found one not far from my house. A beautiful open field full of Queen Anne's Lace which just so happened to perfectly match her dress. Right next door was a rustic barn and horse field, and lucky for us the owner was checking her mail as we drove by. Laura didn't think twice about rolling down her window, flashing her sweet smile and saying "I'm getting married, could we take my bridal portraits in front of your barn?" How could the woman say no?














Laura wanted to incorporate the letter Nick read to her when he proposed into a few of the pictures, as well as a locket that she received from Nick's late mother Joanna. I love how these keepsakes added a sentimental touch to the shoot and emphasized the special bond between Laura and Nick.


















Congratulations Laura and Nick! I wish you all of the happiness in the world. :)

The Eckard Family

Let me introduce you to the Eckard Family - Mom Shannon, Dad Spencer and Cutest Little Girl in the World - Marissa. Marissa is turning two this month and her parents really wanted a fun and playful photoshoot to match their personalities. We had so much fun playing in the park, despite the H-O-T weather. Marissa fell in love with my "assistant" the sock monkey, lucky for us it conveniently matched her outfit! :) I so enjoyed meeting and spending time with these guys - they are so full of love and charisma. They instantly made me feel like a part of the family, and I think that really came through in the photographs. Enjoy!

Check out these amazing baby blue eyes - made my heart melt!

Daddy's little girl!

Enjoying a very well deserved milkshake after a very hot day :)
