The past month, I have had the privilege of doing a handful of photo shoots.
And, they were all different types of photo shoots, which made it fun and gave me some variety.
Here are a few sneak peeks of some of my favorites!
First up, I had Mason's 1 year photo shoot!
****************************
At the end of March, my friend Kelly asked me to take pictures at her & her husband's 10 year anniversary vow renewal.
During the cocktail hour, the beautiful couple:
I was also able to get some cute pictures of some of the kids running around.
Tyler, their sweet, precious son:
and, their daughter (& Kate's friend) Nicole:

And, their 2 nieces:
What a great smile!
During the ceremony, there were a lot of smiles & laughter...
and, a lot of hand holding...
Happy 10 years to an amazing couple!
Thanks for letting me be a part of your special day!
When we were in Pebble Beach my younger sister Becks and her boyfriend Jason allowed me to do a photo shoot of them on the beach at sunset.
I wanted practice doing beach & sunset photo shoots.
Thanks to Jason & Becks for being my guinea pigs!
Then 2 weekends ago, I had a photoshoot with my first repeat client!
(that made me feel good!)
I first did a session with these 2 brothers last fall for their family Christmas card.
They are 13 months apart & didn't sit still for a minute!
Their mom wanted some fun Spring park pictures of them playing & just being boys!
I was literally running around the park snapping pictures of them!
Big brother was cheesing it up for me:
But, the little brother was more shy & didn't want to smile for me.
This is one of him giving me a "courtesy" smile. ha!

I have a few more sessions coming up in the next couple of months that I am looking forward to!****************************
Even though life is crazy busy & chaotic right now, I love squeezing in time for photography.
I can escape behind my camera & capture beautiful moments amongst the chaos of everyday life.
And, lately there has been A LOT of chaos with our moving situation.
The last two weeks have been a roller coaster ride.
We still haven't closed with our old house, there have been some major hiccups with the buyer's lender/bank/appraisal, etc.
It is really, really frustrating & stressful.
We were supposed to close on our old house last Wed (4/21) and our new house was supposed to close today.
I am not sure everything is going to work out & we might have to start over with the whole process of buying & selling. Just typing that makes me want to cry.
We would appreciate the prayers!
