Guess what?! I’m caught up on client photos. I don’t think that’s EVER happened before!  As an unexpected change, I actually sat down to look at some of my own photos and thought about creating a post of significant pictures from 2011. Well, I started looking at April (because apparently the first few months of the year we were way too boring), and decided maybe I should go month by month.

Being a photographer, I have more than a few pictures from each month. I mean hey, if I don’t have pictures of it, it didn’t happen, right? Here’s April:

My daughter at her dance recital…

Roaming around Old Town:

My sister and her family came to visit:

And my daughter cut her hair so she would  “look like Mommy”:

Happy Valentine’s Day! I thought a session with tons of family love was appropriate for today.   You may recognize Robin and Jackson from last month (remember the baby in the stocking?), and boy do those babies grow fast! It was wonderful meeting the other half of the family and I just love these joyful photos!

I love this family. In fact, they are extremely close friends and my dearly missed neighbors from the grad school years.  It was a pleasure to photograph them “officially,” although I must admit, taking pictures of my friends is extremely intimidating.  (Especially when you know they’re picky)   It turned out our session couldn’t have gone better, and my favorite part was seeing the true love that Ryan and Andrea share and how much they cherish their kids.  I adore the collage below that simply shows them as they are- enjoying each others company and just enjoying life. Thank you Ryan and Andrea!!  Enjoy the photos.

I love every one of these photos and I’m so happy that I get to capture Laura and Alan’s upcoming wedding day!  As you may be able to tell, we had a great time, and these two just may be the cutest couple EVER.  Enjoy and Happy Friday!

(Did you notice their hands make a heart? Totally unintentional, totally meant to be.)

Sometimes I like to take a meaningful moment out of life…..

and immortalize it in a work of art:

Does anyone have any real life moments they consider “movie moments” or “works of art” snapshots stored in your mind?  I have several. And I like that.
