Terie has two adorable boys who never run out of expressions. Serious faces. Silly faces. Surprised faces. Then there’s all of the different posing. You’ll just have to take a look! And Terie herself just shines as a mother. Since I am expecting a little boy in September I truly admired her patience with these two. : ) Also many thanks to her for directing our session to this location near her home – it was perfect.

When I return there will be full wedding releases and some new things to show you. For now, the wedding bells are ringing and I must be on my way!

I would have had my own wedding and reception at this venue if I had known about it! I just loved the quiet atmosphere and the classic Southern charm of The Courtyard at Lake Lucerne. Beth and Michael definitely have a refined style and their wedding was so sweet and memorable. And you should have seen how they were both giggling right after the ceremony! I wish them all of the happiness in the world.

My first time shooting at the Lake Mary Events Center was a very enjoyable experience. This place really does have it all from a beautiful setting outside to the contemporary details inside. It was the perfect venue for Shelby and Kevin’s wedding since they both have a love for nature and also desired a classy evening with modern touches. Plus all of their family and friends made their day special with so many details and secret surprises. Best wishes to the new Mr. and Mrs. Rowley!

I am 15 weeks pregnant! Our sweet little one is due the first week of September. Daniel and I are beyond thrilled to have a wiggly Virgo on the way. And we’ll know if our baby is a boy or girl by the end of April. I want to decorate in all shades of blue whether we have a Miss or Mister since it’s the color of September’s birthstone. Plus I am just really drawn to bright blue ever since I found out I was pregnant on New Year’s Day. Blue is speaking to me! (Cereal is speaking to me too, and milk with chocolate Nesquik, and… Tijuana Flats chicken flautas, and… all kinds of fruit juice.)

Daniel took these photos! This is so very special to me even though he isn’t in them. We’ll have some of us together when I’m farther along. You know, I am starting to wonder just how big this bump is going to be!

I also wanted to announce how this will change my photography world this year. My last weddings will take place in May. From June 1 until next year I will not book any weddings. I am sure it’s good luck to have a pregnant woman photographing your wedding in many countries, but I have no idea how I’ll feel. : ) I’ll be doing regular portrait sessions for as long as I can though! So feel free to contact me but my fall schedule will be a little full with a little tiny bundle.
