{friday favorite} Olivia 2 years

I can’t believe Olivia is 2 years old! I shot her 1 year pictures at Waterfront park and it certainly doesn’t seem like it was a year ago. Melissa & Travis are expecting baby #2 in July :) I’m looking forward to doing some newborn pictures of their little one on the way.

I just love Olivia. She is adorable and abosolutely hilarious! She was running around all over the place and kept me on my toes the whole time. Any time I would sit or lay down to get a shot of her she would run over and sit right next to me. haha :) Olivia, you are adorable and you’re today’s Friday Favorite. Check out some of my favorites from our session:

This is Olivia’s ‘Cheeeeeesssseeee’ pose :)

OK…this picture just cracks me up. Apparently Olivia finds it very funny to run from her parents these days. Real life…documented :)

Haha heres where the fun begins. Olivia was dancing for us :)

Time for some bubbles!

{weddings} Mollie & Kellen

I posted a sneak peek of Mollie & Kellen’s beautiful wedding day here – so if you haven’t seen these, check them out first. When I asked Mollie what her vision was for her wedding day she said ‘A big party with lots of dancing’. I think she got her wish :) It was a beautiful wedding topped off by a big dance party! I had so much fun at their reception! Thank you to Mollie & Kellen for allowing me to document your wedding day.

A list of their vendors is at the bottom of this post. Mollie’s chosen vendors were all amazing and great to work with.

Mollie sneaks a peek at the very full church :)

Kristen Overbay - what a beautiful wedding!

{friday favorite} Mollie & Kellen sneak peek

Mollie & Kellen were high school sweethearts. They’ve been together for 12 years so needless to say this has been a long time coming! They were so much fun to work with and it was an honor to be their photographer. Mollie & Kellen lived in Paris while he was finishing up his IMBA and thats where he proposed. I can’t think of a more romantic place to get in engaged. In honor of that, their reception had a Parisian theme and I loved it! The day couldn’t have been more beautiful, Mollie was stunning, and the reception was one big dance party- my kind of wedding! Here are some of my favorite shots (more to come I promise):

I loved the decor at this reception. It was simple, bright and beautiful :)

Check out this cake. Are you kidding me?! Amazing. Those flowers are beautiful!

LOVE the flowers, colors. Perfection.

Mollie you’re gorgeous. Seriously.

LOVE.

Mollie danced and sang all night…and I just love the way Kellen looks at her.

{friday favorite} Callahan 6 Months

We had to re-schedule Callahan’s pictures due to weather and we ended up doing them in the Schonfeld’s home- I love the way these turned out! They had some great natural light coming in their windows that day. Just wait till you see this little cutie! Callahan had a few wardrobe changes and I loved it! Towards the end of our session we decided to do more shots of her in just a diaper. Callahan’s mom, Leah, said she wanted to capture her cute rolls- it made me laugh cause this is the only time when it’s OK to say ‘Can I get a picture of your cute little rolls?” Hehe–but her rolls are very cute. Callahan- you and all your cuteness are my Friday Favorite :) Check out some of my favorites:

juliet - can i please borrow the yellow outfit? I LOVE these!

Pam - Callahan is too darn cute! I love these pictures!

Leah - These gave me goosebumps. Mom kissing Callahan, with Callahan's hands on her mom's face: I just stared at it for at least 10 seconds. That's the cutest thing I've ever seen.

Candice - Love her hair and her rolls...adorable. The picture of her with her hands on her mom's face, kissing her--my Favorite! So cute! great job...as usual
