Whitney's Bridal Portraits

I have been so anxious to post these!  The beautiful Whitney married one of my brother's childhood friend's and I couldn't have been more honored to be their photographer!  Whitney is not only extremely gorgeous but she was so much fun.  She was such a trooper, it was a whopping 89 degrees and not a cloud in the sky and the poor bride-to-be was nearly meting out of her dress... though you cant tell!  I love the location she choose.  There was one particular peacock who was very curious about Whitney (either that or just really wanted his picture taken).  He kept wondering in and out of the shoots which made for a dream like setting.  Some of these pictures reminded me of a fairy tale.

April's Baby Bump

I have seen April & Jacob's family grow and have been fortunate enough to capture their Engagements and Wedding and now the beginning of their new family!  Pregnancy looks beautiful on April and I can't wait to meet baby Savanah!  I have loved watching this loving family grow together!  Thank you April & Jacob for letting me be there through these special times in your lives!

Ben & I Benefit Concert

My husband Robert is currently a student at Concordia University.  He is taking a Music Pop Culture class and his professor puts on a benefit concert every year called Ben & I Play for Peace.  The concert is to help raise money for The Wounded Warriors Project and Wheelchairs for Iraqi kids.  Dr. Perlak, Robert's professor, encouraged her students to participate and help gather sponsors.  Robert served 5 years active duty in the Army before joining the Army Reserves so this project touched him deeply and he began knocking on doors to help raise money for this cause.  Dr. Perlak gave her students a list of items that were needed to help make this event come together.  Robert came home one day and said he had signed me up as a sponsor to photograph the entire event.  I was extremely flattered and happy to donate my time and be apart of such a great cause!

I encourage you all to click on the link below to read up on the story behind Ben & I and how it all started.  It is a beautiful story full of people with big hearts, Ben and Dr. Perlak are two of these people.  With their amazing talent and beautiful music, they have raised thousands of dollars to help so many Iraqi children.  http://www.benandiplayforpeace.com/

I wish you could have heard the music that was produced that day!  It was extraordinary and a day I will never forget!

    I am so proud of my wonderful husband and for sharing his words!  He never ceases to amaze me!
