Happy 2016

Another year upon us...and what a year it has been! Such a whirlwind...and I look back and wonder how it happened so fast. I now have a one year old...a toddling, talkative, opinionated, fiery, cuddly, beautiful little toddler that has my heart wrapped around her little finger like you wouldn't believe. I found this year to be pretty amazing, I have learned so much...as a Mom, as a wife, as a photographer and just as a person. Balancing has become the hardest part and giving to each moment my full. As I close the door to 2015 and open 2016 I'm excited and yet a little nostalgic. I already look at photos of my daughter and can't believe how much she has grown, it tugs at your heart a bit when you just want your baby to be a baby forever but at the same time have so much eagerness to see what the future holds and who they are going to be. Here's to 2016 and I enter with the resolution of patience and presence.

Megan and Derek Wedding - Bernardus Lodge Carmel

A beautiful wedding at the Bernardus Lodge and not even a forest fire could keep these two from the alter! Everything about this wedding was detailed, seriously right down to the minute (with diagrams!) - this bride being in the event industry knew the in's and out's of a good celebration and the biggest thing I loved was her request of "no stuff" photos. I couldn't do it...Megan you just had too much pretty "stuff" to photograph - but don't worry there were plenty of laughs and laugh out louds we caught as well and not to mention that smokey sky that created the most gorgeous vine photos and wedding day sunset. Wishing you and Derek the most amazing future together.

Thank you Emily for being my wedding backbone! You're the best!
