my family.

This was the fastest photo shoot I've ever done. My entire family was here for Lucy's blessing day. We went and took family pictures that day. It was kind of planned quickly, with not too much time to spare, but we pulled it off!

All of the Orrells.

Grandma and Grandpa with all their grandkids.

This shoot was really for my sister to get some photos of her family. Here are some of them.

Audrey.

The Gondas.

Here are some random shots from the day that I enjoyed.

eric kjar

Baby Eric was just 6 days old when I took these. He is the second son of my friends, Brianne and Jason. Eric was born about 3 and 1/2 weeks early, but with no complications at all. Yay! We love healthy babies! He is so tiny, but just as sweet as can be. Best of luck Jason and Brianne. And hurray for big brother Josh! Here are a few photos of the sweet little guy...

rebecca & doug. engagements.

Rebecca and Doug met at church. Doug saw Rebecca sitting there, and came right over and asked if she would like to sit with him... talk about gutsy! I have never had that kind of courage, but I guess when you know, you know! These guys were great to work with and such good sports. It had just gotten done pouring, and the wind was pretty strong at moments. I had a great time with you guys, and I'm psyched for your upcoming wedding!

melisa & cj. maternity.

Melisa and CJ are expecting their first baby, a little girl, in August. These are 2 of the most beautiful people I have ever met, inside and out. Melisa is so excited to be a mommy, and when CJ looks at her, he justs seems to burst with pride for the soon-to-be mother of his children. I loved spending time with you guys and I can't wait to see your beautiful little girl! Congratulations!

I know this one really isn't "maternity-ish", but aren't they a great couple?!!

Aislee

Aislee is the daughter of one of my best friends, Niccole. She is 9 months old and an absolute doll! We were friends right away and this little thing could not stop smiling! I had a great time doing these photos and visiting with Niccole! Thanks for letting me take photos of your super cute, happy baby!

Jesse the kid

Meet Jesse Tanner. This was seriously the best behaved 2-year-old I have ever met. Jesse was super sweet and so mellow. What a lucky mommy and daddy he has! Anyways, this little guy was really easy to photograph, he was just so cute! Here are some of my favorites.

Baby Leila

This is 3-month-old Leila, the daughter of Jen and Spencer Campbell. She was such a great baby to work with, so sweet! I love her big eyes and precious lips! Congratulations Jen and Spencer on your beautiful little girl. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the shoot.
