Bri & Brandon were married at The Tides PAFB Collocated Club surrounded by their friends and family that came from near and far to witness their marriage vows. Their wedding was especially beautiful because they each have wonderful families that wanted to spend time with them before they depart for Japan in a few days. I was in awe of the outpouring of love these families have for Brandon & Bri. While they will be away for 3 long years, it will be a great opportunity to make memories and grow their marriage and have lots of fun!

 

 

 

Bri & Brandon are both super atheletes and sports fanatics, so I said, "bring the ball"! Bri was thrilled!

 

 

Bri's  girls were the best bridesmaids ever. They really know how to spread the love and were there for Bri the entire time. So happy, fun and full of life. I wanted to take them home and claim them as my own friends. Pretty sure there'd never be a dull moment!

This photo has been posted before, but I love it enough to share again. It's all about how much some brothers and sisters seem to have such a unique bond. You just know they're going to be close to each other now and forever. AND as adorable as they are now, I'm betting they'll be just as cute together years from now. They make me smile and here's hoping they do you as well. Happy Thursday!

 

 

Britt you are just naturally adorable!

 

 

And despite the wind blowing our hair in crazy directions, I thought we made out pretty good with the beach shots.

 

 

Loved this one of you Britt!

Starting around this time of year, the beach light becomes magical as the sun is setting. Something about the reflections from the sand, water, and  the breeezy wind mixed with the salt air is just magnificant. Britany and I, along with her super cool Mom, had the best time creating this photo session memory. Hopefully, it'll be one of Britany's fond childhood stories that starts with " I remember when my Mom took me to the beach ..............."

 

 

Mom & Britany, enjoy your sneak peek. More to come soon. It was fun spending a Friday evening with you two.

Technically, this picture has some imperfections. Hence, we had to nix the blurry leg that moved ever so quickly. Not her fault, I shoot with a very narrow depth of field for that creamy background effect. (For all of you who don't care beans about depth of field, apology for the info overload.) I have to give a little background here, though. Notice how well Olivia is posing for the camera. She's not even 2 yet but I had her practice this pose with her hands in the mirror today once, and amazingly, she remembered and got it just right. She even added the foot prop for special effects!  I am so proud of you, Olivia! This was not easy, we were hot, sweaty and fighting bugs. Happy Day!

 

Maybe I'm naive, but I think she's going to be sweet even as a teenager.

 

I have been looking forward to sharing some of my latest images from this photoshoot. This is one of my favorite photos, and actually one of the very first taken. I particularily like it because it shows how fierce her personality is and I think it defines her so well. Now, we have a ton of smiling images, too, and they are beautiful. But underneath her smiles, she is one determined little girl. She will be able to shape her future into whatever she desires. Not much will hold her back! Girl power to the max!
