    ...Life Captured

Scooter & Emily {love life.}

Scooter’s name is really Steven or should I say Steven’s name is really Scooter since I have never known him by another name. Scooter is marrying my sweet friend, Emily. I truly couldn’t be happier for the two of them! Emily is one of a kind, a true gem of a person and friend. Scooter definitely recognizes this in her. If you spent time with them you would seriously feel the love radiating from them and would not stop smiling for days! Emily is the sweetest most genuine  friend you can have. She is the queen of sending sweet text messages out of nowhere just to make your day! I love having lunch with her often to talk about life and love and the love of our Savior. She’s special and she’s getting married!!! Yay! Here are some of my favorites from their session. I knew Emily was a morning person and I was thankful they were up for a morning session. With all the rain we have had on my usual session days I didn’t know how I would make up all the rescheduled sessions, but just having a morning session the next day was the perfect solution and the light was beautiful!

I love this! Please make this a large print for your future home together!

:)

My favorite! I was explaining to them what I wanted them to do for the next photo, Emily looked up at me while I was explaining and I got this! Emily you are gorgeous!

These next three will melt your heart! Their love is so beautiful and fun!


The future Mr. & Mrs.

I told you the that when you are with them you can’t help but smile.

Emily, I can’t get over just how stunning you are!

love these next two…

I love these kinds of photos!

love the beautiful morning light and the love of these two!

I have to say that I LOVE the difference in their height, it is so cute! I wanted to show it off in a lot of the photos because I think it just shows how perfectly Scooter can love and protect his future wife:)It’s the perfect height for forehead kisses which are some of my person favorite!

So excited for your wedding in October!

Brian & Erica {love life.}

Where do I start?! This session was so much fun! First of all we were shooting in Chicago, yes Chicago, on a beautiful morning! We practically had the entire city to ourselves at 6:30 am and the light was to die for. Brian did a great job of navigating us through all the traffic that day- with the filming of Transformers 3 on Michigan Ave, American Idol try-outs, and the Cubs game there was plenty of traffic. Thankfully, we made it to every location we had hoped. These two are so in love and it absolutely shows in every single photo! Thank you both for being who you are and simply loving one another. We are already counting down to your wedding!

Hello Chicago!

love this!

Jon’s shot

My shot– also one of my favorites!

ummm… hello gorgeous!

Did I mention how beautiful the morning light was?!

I showed this to them on the back of my camera and said, I feel like it looks like I am spying on you, but I love it!

Look at Erica’s amazing eyes! She is stunning! I posted this photo as a facebook teaser and then I felt bad that Brian was barely in the photo but…

I think this photo more than makes up for it! Brian has amazing eyes himself!

We headed to Lake Michigan for a few shots

Funny thing about this fountain- They really wanted photos with the fountain, but when we got there at 6:30 am it was off we were bummed that it wasn’t going; however, we went back later and learned that they just wait to turn it on until 8am.

Brian, I must say it’s breathtaking the way you love her!

Then we went to:

:)

Jared, Amanda, & Garrett {family life.}

This session was a reminder of just how good it is to be a kid and have a loving family! Garrett is cute as can be and has quite the personality! He loves to be outdoors in his boots. His mom and dad are obviously crazy about him and it shows in each and every photo. I feel like the song “What a wonderful World” would be the perfect sound track for these photos. I am not sure what it is, but these photos just make you smile and enjoy summertime.

I love this!

He was a very serious watermelon eater:)

Garrett & Sophie

My favorite! This mom sure loves her boy!

So does this dad!

I don’t know exactly what it is about this photo but I love it so much! I feel like the splashes are such a reminder of how care free life is as a kid.

Love these next two…

I also love this next series of three- It’s beautiful the way this family loves each other!

Hello beautiful brown eyes:)

cute family!

Lillia {new life.}

Sweet baby Lillia is beyond precious! She was so sweet and calm throughout the entire session. This girl is beyond loved by her parents and family; they are crazy about her! I always say it, but I will say it again, I love these kinds of sessions where there is so much love in a family it can’t be contained:)I have been so excited to meet Lillia since her mom and dad had their maternity session! I hope you enjoy some of my favorites from Lillia’s session!

How cute is she?!

Her room is straight out of a magazine- she fits in perfectly

:)

lots of love…

Emily is such a beautiful mom

Lillia has her own chair

I love her eyes!

Sometimes to get sweet, sleepy faces like this…

Babies have to be reminded that their parents are right there. Look at her look at her daddy- it makes my heart melt!

This bow was bigger than her head, but oh-so cute!

We can’t forget big brother, Snoop!

Ryan is a natural with his girl

I love this! One of my favorites!

I also love this! My other favorite!

Sweet, Sweet baby!

Craig & Mandi {love life.}

Craig and Mandi had a beautiful wedding set in a beautiful setting, Aruba! The day was beautiful even though it rained just about every day while we were there. (When it rains in Aruba it rains for about 10 minutes at the most; however, it very rarely ever rains there.) Mandi was worried about the weather but the wedding coordinator from the resort told her not to worry about anything since it never rains in Aruba. Thankfully the wedding day was rain free! Jon went to high school with Craig and was in the wedding, so that meant I shot the wedding and groomsmen photos by myself with two camera bodies. To all wedding photographers out there that shoot with two camera bodies I applaud you, my back was killing me by the end of it! I can’t complain because I think the images are amazing and tell such a beautiful story of the day. Craig and Mandi were married at sunset which meant it was pretty much complete darkness during their photos- but we worked with the light we had and I think it was beautiful! Congrats you two!

Her dress was perfect!

They made cute maracas for everyone

I love these black and white getting ready photos- Mandi was a beautiful bride!

Sisters helping with last minute details

Sisters:)

Aren’t the girls dresses perfect?!

Mandi was stunning

Craig was a handsome groom

Guys:)

The perfect location for a wedding

Here comes the bride…

Look at the way Craig looks at her… love, love, love!

Toes in the sand

The kiss…

Mr. & Mrs.

We used the light we could find on the palm trees- I love this!

First dance

Really love this shot of craig and his mom- it is filled with breathtaking emotion

“Big Daddy” came from the Kukoo Kunukub to sing to Mandi
