The Horse and It's Boy?.... Waaaait this time it's a horse and her girl.

In recent weeks I've been able to do a few out of the ordinary photo shoots. I love it because it stretches me and forces me to be more creative.

A few months ago I became a nanny. I love it! Today my nanny girl had her riding lessons, and her Mom asked me to take some pictures!

Enjoy the new week!

Erik and Lynnea

The way he gazes at her. The way she laughs at his jokes. The way they look into each others eyes. It's love. And their love story is a fairy tale.

It all started one week at summer camp. She was a lifeguard, and he was the leader of a band camp. The last day they ate lunch together, but that was it. He said goodbye, left, and it was over. Or was it really? She knew something the moment she met him. She knew he was the one she was going to spend the rest of her life with. But he was gone.

The years dragged on. But Lynnea remained patient knowing deep down that she wouldn't be satisfied with anyone else because she had already met her match back at camp that one summer. Well, 7 long years later she got a letter in the mail and the years of patiently waiting had paid off! It was Erik telling her that he was in town and wanted to take her out to coffee.

So to make a long story short they got married last summer.

Okay so I know their love story is super cute but here's an even cuter part. They never had engagements pictures so they hired Melissa Oholendt to do a fun, casual, day after session. We did their photo session at the camp where they first met! Like I said... super cute, huh? It was their first time back since the summer when they  had met.

Beginning of a new week. Enjoy it!

Craig and Katie

As I drove to the church, rain clouds loomed overhead, and occasional raindrops fell on my windshield. But nothing had dampened the spirits inside the church when I arrived. As I entered the girls dressing room Katie stood glowing, as her little flower girl excitedly tugged on her dress staring at her as if she were a princess. 


Craig was nervous but excited as he waited for his soon-to-be wife.
They had a precious first look...
