Once Upon A Dream I love to take what I see through the camera lens and tell your story. ~ Shelley

It has always been a dream of mine to take my passion for photography and share it with others.

As many of you know photography is a loved hobby of mine but with a demanding job, large family and a super active 2 year old I haven't picked up my camera much in the last year. But I have a dear sweet friend that knows whenever she calls I will drop whatever I am doing to capture her family memories. This time around it was for her grandson Seth who needed some Senior Portraits. Like most young men he wasn't super excited to be spending his afternoon taking pictures but it didn't take long to get him to laugh and smile. And let me tell you he has a smile that could melt your heart. Lesley Cavenaugh Dean I hope you love these as much as I do. Enjoy this sneak peek of your handsome boy!

Finishing up some photos for a sweet friend of mine. Covid tried to ruin her wedding (more than once they had to reschedule) but Covid couldn't steal their joy. I have more formal photos that I know she will cherish as well but these photos are just a few that captured the true CELEBRATION of family, friends and true love! It was definitely a night I will always remember and be grateful that she included me in her day and asked me to capture her memories.

It's a photo editing kind of day. I absolutely love to see how the memories are captured and preserved! I had the pleasure of photographing the most fun wedding last week and it's going to take me a few weeks to get their gallery completed but in the meantime I wanted to share this gem of the beautiful Bride taking one last look in the mirror before she heads down the isle!

Next up on the editing block is the Carter/Sims/Turner family so watch over the weekend for more on their multi-generational family gallery!

Just a few of my favorite photos of my favorite model from the other day. All of these are unedited photos with the exception of the one photo I made Black & White. Just a natural beauty in the natural sunlight! And just think a few years ago I couldn't pay her or beg enough to get in front of the camera and now she is a natural and I'm lucky to have her help me get in some extra practice!

In the famous words of Bonnie Parker...
"I'll never leave your side Clyde, I'll ride till I die"!

The day of this shoot was the first time I had met Tim & Lesley in person but I instantly knew they had something special, that magic so many couples wish for and that ride or die spirit that will keep them together till death does them part!

As a novice, hobby photographer this is the kind of shoot dreams are made of and I not only left with an amazing experience but new found friendships.

This is why I love the magic of photography!

I just realized while backing up some photos that while I had shared my nephew's wedding photos on my personal page I had never shared them on my photography page. There are well over a 1000 photos from his wedding a few months ago but these are a handful of my favorites. I hope everyone loves them as much as I do.
