Carter

So Carter is getting ready to turn 1 and mom and dad wanted to get a few shots to capture this time of his life. I of course was most certainly excited once I met this fiery little red head. I was even more excited when I found out that this little guy's birthday is just one day before mine. We had such a blast. Of course there is never a dull moment at this age. ;)

Oh you know we're gettin' this thing started out right! All smiles. :D

Does this not just say don't mess with my toys. Trust me, I know. I can read the face of an only child.

I love the expression on his face. Just hangin' out with mommy.

What is it with kids and coffee tables? They know we have all the cool stuff on there.

A quick outfit change and BATTER UP!!! Go Cards!

Jammin' with daddy. I think everyone had one of these keyboards when they were little. I know I loved mine. Of course it wasn't nearly as cool as this guy's.

Are you kidding me with this face?!

I love everything about this photo. The angle, the coloring, the lighting. Just one of those moments that come out great.

Carter has an awesome sports themed bedroom. They have all sorts of fun signs on the walls. Guess you know what they think of their little all star.

Thank you guys for allowing me to capture this special time in his life.

Nolan&Amanda~Engaged

I had the great privilege to take some engagement photos for Nolan and Amanda. What a great time! We met at this cool trail by an old school warehouse in the city. This place had so many things to look at and great spots to photograph. Of course with these interesting locations came a few treacherous spots. :D These two were quite the troopers and willing to climb and trek through wherever I asked them. I don't think that we could have picked a more beautiful day to take these. I think they came out pretty great. Of course it helps when you have two people that obviously love each other. Hope you enjoy!

Bling!

Amanda was all smiles that day. Of course I think that Nolan had something to do with that. ;)

I had the two of them take a little walk down the trail we were on.

Nolan really takes direction well. :D He totally dedicated himself! By the way, did you notice that awesome graphic wall behind them? Yeah, I thought it was pretty awesome too.

I'm going to have to say this one is my favorite.

A slightly more serious one out in the wilderness. Perhaps they were concerned for their safety.

Thank you Nolan and Amanda for such a great day. I can't wait to work with you guys on your big day!

Happy Mother's Day!

What a great day it was today. Totally relaxed and nice to have nothing to do and just spend some time with the fam. We went to the park and chilled for a while waiting till it was time to be seated for lunch. Of course as the years pass the nostalgia grows and the photo opps increase. So we took turns taking photos of us in the park. Hope everyone had a great mother's day! Here's a look at ours. :D

My Gma & Gpa Harder. Yeah, they're pretty awesome.

And here is who you can thank for my entrance into the world. My parents. Aren't they cute...

And there I made it in for a shot with my Gma Kelly. My mom put her photographer skills to work.

You better believe I stuffed my face. We ate at the most awesome Cafe Madeleine.

For those of you who know me know that this is what replaces the blood in my veins.

And finally the whole crew. Someone was nice enough to take a photo with all of us in it. Thanks stranger! ;)

Happy Momma's day to all you mother's out there!

See what I'm doing

So I finally gave in.  I got myself a twitter account.  If you're interested in what I'm doing all the live long day then come follow me around.  I make no promises it will be all that exciting.  Interesting, however, I'm sure of.
