I shot Kevin & Karen's engagement pics back a couple weeks ago in Chicago and did not want to stop shooting at the end! That's always such a good sign! These two were so much fun to get to know and I seriously now can not wait for their wedding in October at a rad place called Salvage One, downtown Chicago! We literally walked all over the city and followed the gorgeous August light then took a break for some tapas at The Purple Pig. It made for the perfect evening with wonderful, in love, people!! Counting down the days until I get to take pictures of these two again! Check out the slideshow **HERE**!!
A couple months ago I received an email from my old friend Sarah that she had gotten engaged!! Gah! I was so excited! And even more excited that she asked me to shoot her wedding next year to her amazing fiance John! I grew up going to summer camp with Sarah and her sisters as their grandparents were our pastors...their family would babysit me and my siblings and I always just loved going over to there house to play with their cool toys;) haha! We have so many fun memories! I was so excited to be able to reconnect after several years! I am beyond excited for these two! They fit so very perfect together. I love how they bring so much out in each other. It's so beautiful to see! Check out the favorites from their shoot downtown Chicago! And check out the slideshow **HERE**
Last internship my old neighbors, Allison and Leo, allowed us to take pictures of them for a model shoot which turned out so beautiful! It was a BURNING hot day so we only shot for about half an hour but it turned out awesome! The two of them met in Acapulco at a resort that my intern Kristin had just been raving about a day earlier...we compared notes and figured out it was the same exact resort! Such a small world! I love it! These two were brilliant and modeled like pros! So cute together!;)
Wow. What an internship....it was my very last one at the ICON where I lived for 2 years downtown Nashville. So we lived it up. Enjoying every waking moment of the place. It was a jam packed week with shows of course, photoshoots, and crazy dance parties...pretty much the norm around any internship. There were two girls this time and both were very opposite each other but very alike in the same way! We all got along so well and I loved seeing their personalities come out more and more. I think that is my absolute favorite part of the internship: watching the beginning awkwardness of living with complete strangers, to the end being amazing friends and knowing so many quirks about everyone! It’s a blast! To top off the internship we kept the tradition going with a music video..each one seems to get more and more intense as we go! This one was no exception..we did it to the song Airplanes. And let’s just say we took it pretty seriously too.
Ashley Pinda Ashley is such a beautiful soul... such a heart for God and a desire to become all that He wants her to be. It was so evident of that even from the time she wrote me to apply. She has such a great attitude for learning, as well, and picked everything up quickly! Both her and Kristin got everything done so fast I was in awe! She is young but has an awesome drive to really move forward in her passion...while still juggling so many things in her life! I seriously don’t know how she does it with a job, school, and starting a biz! I know if she just keeps that persistence up though she will see it accomplished beautifully! I can’t wait to see all that she does and who she becomes...if it’s even a small percent of what I’ve already seen it will blow people away! Check our her blog **HERE**
Kristin Sanders Kristin, I actually had been talking to for months before the actual internship...trying to figure out the best time for her to come and she made it just in time!! I was SOOOO excited to work with her as I had finally met her a couple months before while out to dinner with some friends and I instantly loved her! I knew she would be a perfect fit for the internship and boy was she. Her spirit is so vibrant and joyful, I love it, and her endurance and strength in all that she’s gone through is baffling to me. The love that she has for people made me want to straighten some things in my life as well! She is so much fun to be around, so I know that she will have customers galore soon and she won’t be able to stop them cause of her infectious spirit! I can’t wait to see her fly! Check out her blog **HERE**
A couple weeks ago I headed out to beautiful Radnor Lake to meet up with Raven and Jon for their engagement shoot! They are getting married in Florida in a few months but live here so decided to have engagement photos in this lovely town! I was so happy to work with them as they were a blast to work with and anyone that finishes a shoot off with a game of Frisbee is a winner in my book!! Those are the times in my job that I love the most... when the couple has something so fun that they love to do together and I get to be the paparazzi to document it! SO fun! I'm so excited for these two and their future together! Check out the photos below and the ***SLIDESHOW HERE***!!
Back about a month ago my friend Ben and I were planning on getting together to plan his brother Stephen's birthday party... he walks in and in walks this tall Australian girl right behind him who had recruited for the party planning committee as well. I had met her before briefly but after this afternoon of party planning for about half an hour and the rest of the hours laughing, talking in accents, exchanging music and drinking tea we became fast friends. I knew we were destined. ha! She is one of the sweetest people I've met with such an amazing heart and already one of my great friends even after just a few weeks! Sinead is an incredible musician back in Australia as well and is here to record her album which she just finished! I KNOW the album is going to blow peoples minds! I'm sad to be loosing her back to her Aussie state next month but I'm soaking up every minute that I have while she's here! Of course one of the ways to do that is do a photoshoot which she was gladly willing to model for the internship this past month! Gah! One of my favorite photoshoots ever for sure. Check out the beautiful Sinead Burgess below!
