Ariah turns one!

I just love this little princess!!! I just can't believe she is already one. I have been so lucky to capture her every milestone, and she is always a joy to photograph! Here is Ariah as a newborn...

She has so much personality and can be a little spitfire like her momma :)
I hope you love them J.

Calling all Seniors!!!!!

Just for fun : Lindsey and TC

I have been blogging out of order lately. I photographed this couple at the beginning of the year, they were actually my first session for 2009!! Let me just say that the day of our session had beautiful light, but it was freeeeezing!!! I seriously think it was like 80 below! hahaha
It was so cold, but luckily they were willing to sit and be patient with the wind. I am really happy with how they came out, and luckily you can't tell that we were all freezing our butts off!
Thanks for a great shoot guys!

ANTM: Ashley

I got to photograph her on Sunday for her 15th birthday. YES SHE IS ONLY 15!!!
Honestly, I couldn't believe it myself, especially with some of the images I took she is just so beautiful! I just couldn't stop taking photos! This first one reminds me of a GAP ad or something. I had so much fun with this session... it was a nice break from chasing a two year old around! I am so glad this made Ashley's birthday as special and fun as she is!!!
I hope you love them!

Mary and Rini

I am just posting their first look for now... so many favorites to choose from still!
This was my first couple that decided to do a first reveal and let me tell you I am so happy they did! To all of my brides for 2009, this is the way to do it. The moment they shared was absolutely amazing! They were so excited to be standing next to each other and their reactions are priceless... When Rini turned and saw Mary it literally took his breath away. This is the moment I, as a photographer, miss when the first look is when the bride is walking down the aisle. It was so great to be able to capture this, with out all of their guests watching them.
I don't think enough couples choose to do this! It is so less stressful!!!

NEW YCM SITE

I just launched the new website for 2009! I have spent several months working on this and I am so excited about the final product. I still want to add a separate wedding and seniors site as well as a product page, but that is still under construction.
There are some new policies so be sure to check those out under the pricing and detail page.
I have also added single print options so if you don't want 2 5x7's of one pose you can just order one!
Let me know what you think of all the new images that are up there!
Thanks to everyone I photographed this year and for all of the referrals!
