Spring Has Sprung

Last week was cold and dreary... I honestly felt like spring was never going to get here! I'm a March baby, and last year on my birthday it was over 80 degrees! That definitely set me up for big disappointment this year. Then, on Tuesday of this week I woke up and was surprised to walk out and find it was in the 70's... WHOO! I immediately headed to the store to add a little spring cheer to our rather 'un-spring-like' house... A few photos... 

Fresh flowers always brighten up a room! I added some scrap paper and a twine-like bow to spruce it up a little.

Thanks to my mom for the adorable planter-bike. She knows me well :)

What is your favorite season? I think Spring and Summer are at the top of my list... 

Phillip + Sharlenae

My "little" brother Phillip called me around Valentines Day, and asked me if I would be willing to do a session for him and his girlfriend, Sharlenae. They have been dating for about a year and half, and they don't  have many frameable photos together, so Phillip decided to surprise Shar with a photo session for Valentines Day... The day before we were supposed to do the session we got several inches of snow. We went with it though, and got some really fun photos frolicking in the snow...

Shar you are gorgeous!

After a quick outfit change we went back out to have some fun in the snow...

For those of you who know Phillip and Shar... You know that this photo completely captures their personalities! HA!

I just love these two!

Love how intense they are about making snowballs. :)

How can you get any more adorable?!

Phillip requested that I take a few shots of his beautiful girlfriend, Shar!

Phillip is one lucky guy! Isn't she a beauty? Love you both, Phillip and Shar! :)

Brent + Valerie | Engagement

My cousin Valerie contacted me a couple months ago about doing her wedding photos. I was totally thrilled because, as you'll see, Brent and Valerie are a model couple! A photographer just can't ask for better looks in front of their camera... :) Valerie also wanted to get some engagement photos done before the big day, so while her and Brent were visiting in February we got together for a fun session!

I need those shoes ASAP!

Love the shot on the left!

One of my favorites!

I love how you can just tell these two are crazy about each other!

Gotta love the shoes!

Thanks so much Brent and Val for such a fun time! I can't wait for your wedding in June! You two are going to make one gorgeous bride and groom! Love you both!
