Happy *1st* Birthday!!

I had the best time shooting my nephew for his first birthday!! My sister is home in Florida while her hubby is deployed so we got to spend his birthday together. This is my second indoor shoot with a little "makeshift" studio. It was a challenge but so much fun! He was not the biggest fan of getting covered in cake but it was our attempt at a cake "smash" :) Enjoy!!

Michelle & Edgar's Wedding

I can't tell you how scary it was thinking about shooting my first wedding, all by myself, out there alone! I had nightmares about forgetting my equipment, broken memory cards, even wedding tornados (dreams can be weird, what can I say?) But it went off without a hitch, everything went very smoothly. I am so happy Michelle & Edgar trusted me with their special day. I guess I trusted them with my life the day with the tigers so we are kind of even now. : ) I took A LOT of photos. I am going to try and pick out my favorites to post on here. The quality seems to be a little better then on facebook. But feel free to check out the rest of them on my facebook fan page!! Congratulations again guys!!!!

Quick Trip to the Beach

Was down in Fort Lauderdale and grabbed a few quick shots on the beach. I really just wanted to practice exposures with the sky {something I'd been having trouble with} Just picked a few shots I liked : )

Baby Einstens's

My beautiful nephew is obsessed with this one Baby Einstein's video that he watches every night before bed time. Try to put him to bed without watching it and he will scream bloody murder! I find it so amazing how hypnotized he gets when he watches it. He holds onto his toes or folds his little hands together. Unfortunately for the rest of us, we can now recite the whole movie. We know all his favorite parts and sing along to all the songs and hum along with the music. One night I grabbed my camera so when he's older and denies he ever watched it I can show him the proof! : )

Turning [1]

Little Miss Madison is turning one and her mom was in need of some photos for her birthday party invitions... In comes Nina :) This was my first run at making a little makeshift studio set up. It was an interesting experience and I think it came out alright. I wanted to give them a little sneak peek at some of the shots... hope you guys like them!!!!
