Aubree

Sometimes you meet a person that you have an instant and unusual kinship with - who you understand and you feel understands you. Amy is like that to me. I think I've spent less than 5 combined hours with her in my life - yet I feel she understands some of the trials that I have been through of late more than people who I've known my whole life - and the road she's been down she has walked gracefully and with faith. I admire her confession - that God is big enough for miracles - and I fully believe I will see Addison (her oldest daughter) have a perfect heart. I got to go and take pics of her and JP's beautiful girls - Aubree being the latest (pictured at 5 weeks). I googled the meaning of Aubree and it means "magical being". I can't wait to see how she grows up and manifests that name! :) Here are my favorites.

Caitlin & Mitchell Part 3: The Horse Session



Day After Sessions. Trash the Dress Sessions. What else can you call the photo session that means re-dressing yourself in your wedding attire and doing something that requires a little more time or risk than you had on your wedding day for the camera? I don't usually do these... but Caitlin had her heart set on photos of horses, and to be honest I kind of did too. I'm usually afraid of horses ( i know... weird) but my camera usually makes me abandon my fears. Ask my husband about the time i ran up a slippery rock face to take photos of a passing pod of whales only to turn around and have no idea how to get back down. I digress...anyway... on their wedding day the sun simply outran us... so we opted to head out for heart prairie road one afternoon in the gorgeous aspen woods and take some photos with her eloped horses. I'd say it was worth the effort.

Caitlin and Mitchell Part 2: The Portraits

Foxboro ranch never disappoints for a good wedding portrait location. Funnily enough every wedding I've done there manages to look totally different. Between the covered bridges, sunflower fields and horse ranch it always presents photogenic opportunities - summer or winter. Here is Caitlin and Mitchell's portraits from after the wedding. They chose to do them post-reception rather than shoving it in between. It's a great idea that I highly recommend... as long as you can actually tear yourself away from your guests early enough to catch some good light like this. If You missed it here is part 1 of their photos and a special post of the second shooter's amazing shots.

And one more post coming is their amazing "trash the dress" session. I have mixed feelings about doing these...this one turned out to be totally worthwhile. Caitlin had wanted some pictures riding horses in her dress so we pulled her own horses out to Hart Prairie road and took some epic pictures. Will post those later this week God Willing.
