the bruglers {families}

last saturday i got together with the brugler family to take a few photos.   i've known diana since we were eleven and brandon since high school.  i was thrilled to take photos of them and their adorable little boy.  cainen is a couple months shy of two and full of energy with a mind of his own.  much love to you both and thanks for letting me take your pictures!

playa del carmen {travels}

delaina and chais got married in beautiful playa del carmen, mexico in october.  the ocean was a beautiful clear turquoise surrounded by palm trees and white sand and the second you stepped into the water you could see a hundred fish scatter.  the property was enormous with 4 different hotels and 20 restaurants.  we hardly had to leave for anything but one day decided to make a little trip to the tulum ruins.  the tour guide told us these are the least impressive ruins in mexico but they are by the ocean and i thought it was amazing. i'd go back in a heart beat!

eila virginia {babies}

a few months ago i went to virginia for my goddaugther's christening. eila was wonderful that day....very calm and peaceful in her vintage dress with bonnet.  she's such a little angel and has the prettiest big blue eyes i've ever seen (eyes from mom and lashes from dad make a great combination).  i didn't have my blog then but now that i do i wanted to highlight a few pics from that day.  thanks mel and kris for letting me be a part of your special day!

and today we spell adorable....g.a.t. {babies}

it seemed like as good of a time as ever to start my photography blog. this weekend i visited my good friends brooke and matt to see their new little baby girl, graham abigail (aka: gat or gatty). she is simply ADORABLE! she's so quiet and makes the funniest faces.  she's only three weeks old and already has her own style for hats, socks and sweaters. what better way to start a new blog than with a new baby...
