LaBeau Wedding

Last year I had the pleasure of photographing Julie and David Christopher's wedding. This year, I got to spend the day with the whole family again...only this time it was for Colleen's (Julie's sister) wedding. Colleen and Kevin had an amazing day planned out and the weather was perfect. What started out as a drizzly morning - turned into a beautiful afternoon. Thank you Zeeff family for another fabulous day with your family, and thank you Kevin for being such a great groom! Congrats you two - I wish you the best of luck!

Congrats Uncle Jim & Sara!!

Congratulations to Uncle Jim and his new wife Sara. Adam and I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding day last weekend and had so much fun. We are so happy for the two of you and what the future holds. Thank you for bearing with me through the heat and "coughing" up all the smiles possible :) We love you guys - congrats with all our heart! And yes - that is (almost) the entire Burkholder family at the bottom.

I am so proud.

The last week of school Adam was hired by East Rockford Middle School as their new Activities Coordinator (Athletic Director). He is so excited for this new opportunity and has already moved into his new office and is slowly getting acquainted with his new responsibilities. With his passion for kids and sports, he can't wait to get more involved with the individuals that make up the teams at ERMS. Along with this new position, he has also been blessed to be able to keep 2 hours of Science (a true passion) and a Tools class. This will be a great way for him to be in the classroom as well being involved in Athletics. He is bummed to have to step down from coaching boys basketball and tennis, but anxious for what this position has in store for him.

I am so proud of you honey for your dedication, passion and true love for what you do. You never cease to amaze me will your talent, work ethic and outlook on life both for your family and your career. Jackson and I love you so much and will be there for you as you move forward into this new position!!

Jackson...

found Adam's hat that he bought on our Honeymoon in Costa Rica and loves it. I think it may have something to do with that fact that it looks like a cowboy hat, and he is obsessed with Toy Story right now?!? Either way, he cracks me up and as you can see from the top pic he cracks himself up as well!

Happy Father's Day!

What handsome golfers!

Happy Father's Day first and foremost to my wonderful dad...because after all he is My Father! I love you dad and appreciate everything you do for my family. Secondly - to my husband and best friend for being such an amazing dad to Jackson, we are learning as we go how to be the best parents we can be with the help of each other :) We spent the morning at Boulder Creek for Brunch and then to the putting green. Jackson loved it and wanted to stay all day. And Happy Father's Day to my "other" dad is again being such a great grandpa to Jackson and loving him and us the way you do best. Thanks for the great dinner at Burkholder's last night - it was fabulous :)

Awesome Family

I had the opportunity to take some beautiful pictures of Laney Rose downtown last weekend. What an amazing little girl she is - smiling for most of the session! And yes - the happy big bro Jonah did great as well. The family picture at the top is one of my favs. Thanks again to one of my favorite families :) ....and afterwards, Sean treated the boys to some hot dogs by the dam. They were in all their glory.

Happy Birthday Colin!

Colin James celebrated his first birthday a couple of weekends ago and had a ball. He loved being the center of attention and was so excited about his new big boy toys!! No more playing with all of Lauren's girl stuff :) Happy Birthday Colin - we love you! Thanks Katie and Tim for a great party.

Congrats Andy & Tiffany!

The gorgeous Tiffany (and yes, Jean she should be featured in "the Knot")

Tiff's parents have a beautiful condo DT GR that made for some beautiful pictures!

Men in Black!!

This past Saturday, Adam and I had the pleasure of photographing Andy and Tiffany's wedding. What an amazing day we had - the weather was perfect, the wedding party was fabulous and the bride and groom looked amazing. I just had to post a few of my favs from the day. Thanks again you two for such a great day! We wish you all the best in your marriage!
