These two crazy kids decided to tie the knot recently. This evening we met at my Jim Starr studio to celebrate the occasion!

I am not even going to make any jokes about how once she is married, she will be Mrs. Martha Washington. Nope, I am not going to make ONE single joke about it.

Even though Mr. Washington would have rather been ANYWHERE but in front of the camera, he was a good sport.

The following image sums up our session. Lots of laughter….a very important ingredient to any successful marriage.

Congratulations!

Brother to Miss R. I thought that Drew had the most piercing scream known to mankind.

C proved me wrong.

This kid could sing with dolphins.

I had so much fun chasing (yes, literally) C around Jim Starr and his yard. C has the BEST swing ever in his front yard, and I was excited to get to go and photograph him enjoying it.

Here is one of my favorites from yesterday.

Meet Mary and Pete. Super nice and love to laugh almost as much as I do. These two crazy kids are planning to say “I Do” next month at the lovely Dunaway Gardens with photography by yours truly.

I was laughing with them before we left, telling them that I would be thinking of them tomorrow when I woke up in agony from all of the stair climbing. I was wrong. The pain has already started!

Don’t worry, I’ll ramp up the cardio a little bit and I will totally be ready to keep up with you guys next month. Thanks so much for such a pleasant time this afternoon.

Here is one from today….

Today’s session was with Miss R and her super adorable brother, Mr. C! We braved the bees and put our barefeet in the tall grass. C wasn’t too sure about the grass, but I think I had enough toys/bribes to keep him going for a little bit.

I was late getting back from a birthday party, but here is one sneaky peek for momma. The ones of C on the swing turned out great! But, since it’s so late, I will just post one of sister. Thanks so much for coming out and having such a good time today. I am looking forward to coming back out to your house and utilizing that gorgeous, tall grass in the field!

Here is one of my faves of Miss R. Will post brother tomorrow, I promise!

The first week back to school after spring break. We survived! Ryan desperately tried to talk his way out of going to school each and every day this week. It was exhausting. But, it’s Friday!

I am looking forward to sessions this weekend and hoping beyond hope that the weather holds out for Sunday’s engagement session at Dunaway Gardens. I plan on trying to talk my bride into meeting rain or shine though, since I found some really cute umbrellas at Target today.

My What to Wear guide is finished! I will be posting it to my client site tonight, so if you have a session coming up you can head over to the client site, log in and check under Your Session for What to Wear. It will be posted as a slideshow, so you can navigate to the type of session you are scheduled for and check out tips and see examples on what makes a great outfit for photos!

Head on over later tonight and check it out once it’s posted!

And because posts with no pics are no fun, here is one of my favorites from the Serenby session. I think we will be paying them a visit again for the sibling session we are doing tomorrow.

I love this shot. These girls were so sweet to each other.
