Engagement Session

A good friend recommended me

to one of her friends.

And on Sunday I had the

privilege of taking Amanda and Derrick's

engagement photos.

Isn't Amanda just stunning?!!

So pretty.

In all honesty, I was pretty nervous.

But Amanda and Derrick were so wonderful.

Couldn't have had a better first couple to photograph :)

I heart faces. "Pet Week"

It's 'pet week' at I heart faces.

This is my soon-to-be 

brother in law's puppy.

Isn't he handsome?

and oh so adorable?!

This is Sammy:

He was a bit unsure about my camera...

and cracks me up.

We took a road trip

that I captured the first day.

I heart faces. "Celebrating Teens"

I've known this teen since she was about 4...

that's when I started dating her brother ;)

She's wonderful with my daughter.

Super gorgeous.

And I'm so happy she's my sister in law.

Meet Miss Caitlin...

Happy Daddy's Day.

Hubby, you are amazing.

Loving.

Forgiving.

Patient.

Kind.

Selfless.

You are an awesome father, 

and it warms my heart 

when I watch you with our daughter.

I always knew you'd be great at being a daddy.

There's nothing, not anything more sexy

than the man you love

loving your child 

... or your niece.

I loved watching you with these

precious girls this past week.

And I look forward to all the years to follow 

watching you be a father.
