A beautiful day for a beautiful wedding...

We have not had a very springy spring so far this year.  And I'm not gonna lie, I've been feeling a bit disgruntled about it.  However, Mother Nature did redeem herself a bit on Saturday by granting sunshine and somewhat warmer temperatures for Megan & Bruce's wedding.  I couldn't have been happier that we were able to stick to the plan by heading down town in Vinton for some of the wedding party portraits.

The flower girl was just the sweetest!

The ceremony tugged at the heart strings and the celebration afterward was shared with loving family and wonderful friends.

Full of smiles...

Meeting new people and going new places can bring on a lot of different feelings for different people.  Me- I love it, new experiences, new friends- bring it on!  But when I meet a shy little one like this beautiful babe, I am reminded that sometimes new places and faces can be just a bit scarey.  It takes care to ease them out of the safety of Mom's loving arms.  It takes time to let them trust that a good time is going to be had at JP Studio.  We started out just talking while she got a few more snuggles in before we moved to the floor to explore some props with Mom very close by and finally- the magic happened!  That smile just lit up the room and we played and laughed and we captured Miss K as her parents get to see her everyday.  Isn't she gorgeous?!?!

Spring is finally starting to show itself all around the CR area!  I am ready to take this show back outside and my schedule is starting to look pretty full already so I know everyone else is too.  If you haven't called already, be sure you do very soon for best availability for your next session.

New Family

It is no secret that I love babies.  Their little squeaks and sighs, the way they stretch themselves out and then curl back up.  I could watch and snuggle a tiny person all day long.  So when this little guy came to visit me last week- I was in heaven!  He is absolutely perfect.  I think his parents would agree with me on that.

Congratulations on your new little love!  Thank you for bringing him in to meet me.
