Candace + Kadarryl | Engaged | Featured Today on Munaluchi Bridal

These two. Agh!  Candace was referred to me by her cousin Tajmah, who was one of my very very very first wedding clients. Tajmah, her sister, her mom.. they are all gorgeous. And now, it is obvious that their family simply received an unfair share of the world’s beauty.  But what is even better, Kadarryl has a natural charm in front of the camera that he is very humble about.  He actually told me that he was nervous and doesn’t normally take nice pictures, when he first arrived. Like I always do, I reassured them both and walked through what to expect during the session, to calm their nerves.  But as soon as I started snapping, they both morphed into total naturals, which makes me think Kadarryl was pulling my leg from the start. Regardless, I truly enjoyed shooting their engagement session and capturing their super sweet, romantic, and fun sides.

We started the session at Vulcan Park, before heading over to Steel City Pops in Homewood. The two had never been to Steel City Pops, but I thought it would be a good place to showcase their playful side. They loved their pops (I mean, who wouldn’t?!) and are now regulars. I hope you enjoy viewing their session as much as I enjoyed capturing it!

The Koens | Throwback Thursday

This time last year, I was anxiously getting ready to shoot my second wedding of the year in Denver, Colorado.  Next week,  Andria and Eddie will celebrate their first year anniversary. I will be out of the country and may not have an opportunity to offer a proper “Happy Anniversary” so, I figured I would feature them as this week’s Throwback Thursday post!

Unless you live under a rock, you’re probably already very familiar with the “Throwback Thursday” or #tbt concept. Well, these posts are going to be a new twist on that. Using the beautiful new version of PASS, I will create galleries of sessions from the past.

To see more images from Andria and Eddies epic Denver wedding, head on over to their PASS gallery.

Andria and Eddie, I love you both and hope that you have a fantastic first anniversary!!

Caleb | 7 days New

Yesterday, I mentioned that I have had an influx of cute babies around here… This one belongs to two fellow (and very talented) photographer friends, Jelani and Melissa Newton.  I am honored and humbled that they trusted me to capture these precious memories of their third son, Caleb.  He was a total sweetheart during the session and is so cute, I can hardly stand it!

Kylie Grace | 14 days new

I’ve had more than my fair share of adorable little ones in the studio recently.  You may remember Karlene and Dantz’ soft, romantic maternity session… Well, their baby girl Kylie Grace entered the world on April 15th, weighing in at a sweet 6 lbs, 13 oz.

There are three types of newborn clients. The ones that scream at me for a few hours (gotta love them,) the ones who sleep for hours and actually let me pose them, and the ones who don’t cry but aren’t necessarily interested in sleeping, either.  That was Kylie. So happy to just be cuddled up and hanging out.  so cute!!
