Shiloh 10 month photoshoot!

Shiloh is 10 months old!  Well, almost 10.5 months now, I cannot believe it!  She is growing into such a sweet little girl.  We are just overflowing with our love for her.  Some of her many accomplishments lately is that she has taken her first steps!  Woohoo!  She still isn't walking around all over the place yet, but she will walk from one toy to another or over to the table and whatnot, so we have no doubts that she will be cruising soon!!  I had so much fun capturing some of these moments with her and Josh.  It still just melts my heart watching him with her.  He really is an incredible father!  And she is so so so into books right now, haha so it is always so easy to read with her. :)  Well, I hope everyone out there is having a wonderful weekend as we close out the month of March.  I cannot believe how fast time has gone by!  Baby boy will be here before we know it!!  Both exciting and nerve-racking!! ;)  Hope you enjoy some of the sweet pictures we captured!  And as always, thank you for reading and keeping up with me.  I really am having such a blast having a blog and posting some of my work.  








Oh the many, many faces of Shiloh!! 






 This is what we really get on a daily basis! :) 













P.S.  The adorable dress and actually the pant suit as well in the first pictures are from my wonderful Mother-in law Mary.  She just knows me so well!  Aren't they just adorable?  :) Thanks Mary! We love you! 

Until next time!!

Taylor Wedding!

At the beginning of this month, I was able to capture my first wedding!  It was such an honor and a blessing to be able to take pictures for my cousin Kelli and her fiancĂ©, now husband Joe on their very special day.  I am so in love with weddings and everything that they mean.  The entire aspect of two coming together as one and committing to one another is a very beautiful picture, and I feel so blessed that I get to capture those intimate and sweet moments as my job!  What a profound joy!  It brings back floods of memories from my own wedding and what a cherished day that will always be.  Here are some of the beautiful captures from the day! 

Getting ready for the big day!!!





 Loved this moment of Kelli's sister helping her with her veil. The final touches to a beautiful bride!! 

Their first moments seeing each other were so incredibly special!  They did not see each other before she walked down the aisle, and the pure joy was written over both of their faces.  So beautiful! 




Loved this tender moment with Kelli's dad praying over them.  


Ok, so I had to hold back tears myself on this one.  Kelli wrote vows to her new daughters about the type of mother she wanted to be for them and would always strive to be.  It was one of the sweetest and most genuine moments I have ever witnessed at a marriage ceremony.  This is a very special family!!!



Such a beautiful couple! 







Time to celebrate!! 




Ahh, so gorgeous!!! 


A big thank you again to Kelli and Joe for allowing me to take a part in your special day.  I really was so honored.  I pray that God bless you both in the journey that lies ahead.  I hope that you enjoy your pictures!!! 

And on a side note, 10 month pictures of Shiloh will be up soon!  So another blog post is coming shortly!! :)
