Welcome to Life, Rylee Grace!

I really should be catching up on a ton of work right now, but really I am so extremely overwhelmed with just loving life right now.

This weekend, while looking into the face of my God-Daughter, Rylee Grace I was just so astounded by LIFE. This was a moment when I stopped and thought...

I will remember this moment the rest of my life.

I know there will certainly be many more moments like this (the birth of my own children for example) But this was the just such an amazing moment. .The Beginning of LIFE

I was mopping a public restroom when I found out that Melissa was pregnant... but it never really HIT me until Friday when I looked into Rylee's little pink face and was just blown away with the unfathomable beauty that life has to offer.

Wiley-Youmell Wedding

These are from this July from the first wedding I ever shot. Yikes!


This picture was from right before the ceremony, it was supposed to be outdoors along the river but a huge rainstorm swept through and demolished everything that had been set up... so the ceremony was moved inside. When the ceremony was over we came outside and it was blindingly sunny for the rest of the day! (as you can see in the rest of the photos...)

9 months with Rylee Grace

these are two of my favorite shots from the maternity photography I did for my friend. She is due on Feb. 21st and I'm very very excited!
