the ash family.

i loved photographing this family.

i've known rod (the dapper father) for about 5 years now, and he's one of the sweetest, funniest, most stylish men i know!  and he's raised two great, wonderful kids who share that style gene :)

i think i'm going to go bed early.

sweet dreams everyone!

tara and brett-engagements.

i don't know if any of you remember me posting the below photo a few months ago, but this is what the mountain looked like the day we took tara and brett's engagement pictures in the beginning of October.

we decided to start higher up on the mountain, then make our way down to the leaves.

we drove up pretty high and that's when it really started to snow.

after we got our snow shots we headed down the mountain, a little bit, and when i got out of the car, i could not believe how neat the mountain looked!  i had to take a picture.

i'll admit . . . at first, i was hesitant to go through with this shoot.  the weather wasn't supposed to be this bad.

down in the valley, we only had light sprinkles, but it was freezing and the clouds warned of much, much more- and i was worried tara and brett (and lee and myself) would freeze and that my camera would get wet and ruined.

but, as soon as we got up to the tall trees and falling snow, a rush of energy came over me.  the backdrop was just gorgeous!  dare i say unbelievable?  we went from heavily falling snow, down to fall-leaves and moisture, then finished up down even further at the sundance lodge with poooourring rain!

and if tara had let me talk her out of this,  we wouldn't have gotten the fun shots that we did, so, tara, thank you for insisting that we just go do it :)  (**note to self, DO NOT LET WEATHER GET IN THE WAY OF A SHOOT.  CRAZY WEATHER = CRAZY AWESOME)

........................................................................................................................................

tara and brett are very special.  they've been dating for about 5 or 6 years now!  they love to have fun, go on trips, and be adventurous.  they're usually the ones trying to get everybody up off of their lazy butts and to go out and do something crazy!

tara, brett, i'm so excited for you two!  thank you for sharing this fun day with us!!

well gang, it's friday, i'm going to get away from the computer for a while!  lee and i have a wedding to shoot tomorrow and we're super excited :)

hope you're all having a great night!

hopkin family

this family is so cute.  seriously.

 they are so sweet to each other, and man, do they love that little baby boy!

i knew shawnee and preston in high school (well, i've known shawnee since elementary!),

and we had a lot of fun playing in the leaves,  swooning over their sweet little baby,

and catching up on each other's lives!

shawnee, like i mentioned a few days ago, was our giveaway winner from last month,

and we were so excited to get to see her again and take their family pictures!

thank you so much, hopkin family! it was a pleasure!

well, i have lots of work to do this week, hopefully i can get

a few more posts in before the week is up!

we're planning a few stylized photo shoots, that we can't

WAIT to execute!

i hope you are all doing well :)
