Anna's "Trash the Belly" Shoot

You all have heard of a "Trash the Dress" shoot where you take pictures trashing your wedding dress.....well, this is a "Trash the Belly" shoot....

My sister, Anna, is due any day now with her third child. We, of course, had to do some maternity shots before this baby arrives. Her idea (and yes, it was hers - I'm so proud of her creativity!) was to let Baron (3) and Malea (1.5) paint her belly. Not only was it a fun project/craft for the kids, but it was hysterical to watch. I'm pretty sure this shoot convinced Cole (baby on the way) to stay inside his momma's belly a little longer - I'd be terrified to come out, too, after that!

















"B" is for Baron, Bogan, or Baby - whichever you prefer....


Just like Mommy...

Ethan Keane Stoffer

It's so fun when you see life come full circle. I had the opportunity of photographing the FIRST baby of all my brides - Ethan. He is the son of James and Caitlin, whose wedding I shot back in November of 2007. He is absolutely precious - which I expected no less out of those two. It's such a joy to photograph clients again, especially in new phases of life such as this!

Congratulations, James and Caitlin, on your precious baby boy!



































And here is Ethan's slideshow...

Diana & Nolan's Wedding

As promised, here is the wedding of Diana and Nolan. It was a beautiful day for pictures (despite what the weathermen said) and I had a beautiful couple to photograph. Diana looked gorgeous in her short veil. It's little touches like that that allow me to fall in love with weddings every time I shoot one! I'm a sucker for the details!

The reception was a great party. Nolan and I went to college together, so needless to say, "Rocky Top" was played. It takes everything in me not to break down in a hoe-down when that song comes on! Anyways, I had a great day! Thank you, Nolan and Diana, for allowing me to be there!
