Recent Work. {AKA Photo Dump}

Well, here you have it. 
A random selection of my recent work, mostly from last year.
The truth is, I just don't have the time (or energy) to post my favorites from every session, especially during the busy season.
I feel that each family should receive individual attention, but it has just been piling up as I feel more behind each day. 
So I hope you'll forgive me in this informal attempt to catch up on this neglected blog.

I loved looking back on the wonderful moments I shared with all of you!
THANK YOU for making this job so fulfilling.























ahhh, the weight has been lifted.

a proposal.

I had so much fun working with a company called The Yes Girls that sets up wedding proposals.
I was hired to capture the moment and it was so magical from start to finish. 
It was my first time really getting nervous for a shoot because I didn't want to miss a single moment and had to be ready with harsh lighting and not knowing which way she would be facing to get her reaction.
It looks like we were close to the scene, but thanks to my 70-200mm lens, I was sneakily snapping from quite a distance. 
I took a lot of photos, but I'll blog the ones that tell the story of this cute couple and their unforgettable evening.

the set up at strands:
 the surprise.
