One word...........AWESOME!!

I was lucky enough to spend the evening with the amazing Kelly Manno. It was a bit surreal for me, because I used to be a HUGE Steve & DC show fan, and many moons ago Kelly was on that show. She is now a very talented photographer and she was nice enough to spend 3 hours with a handful of lucky people talking about building our businesses. One of the best parts was Kelly brought in a past Bride and Groom who are totally adorable to model for us. We hit the streets of Maplewood and watched Kelly work her magic..and we fired away...and here is what I got. Some of my FAVORITE images ever. I had the best time editing these....I felt a sense of freedom..because these are just for me.....and I could let my artistic side go a little wild. My favorite image is #10. Leave me a comment and tell me your favorite...I would love to know.
And Kelly, if you happen to read my blog...you rock girl! Thank you!

Family Fun!

Here is another family near and dear to my heart. I am so glad we braved the extremely windy March day. But hey, at least the sun was shining..which I took full advantage of. We went to Longview Farms...and I have to say, this is my new favorite place for family sessions. Well...it was hard picking my favorite of this session...because I was crazy about so many of them. But I think #7...is it. I really like photographing teenagers...I need to find some Seniors...anyone???

This pose was "G"'s idea....so glad he suggested it. I love how it turned out. You guys are so adorable.

Sorry "M", I had to do one in black and white...and I am glad I did, love it. Don't worry...I have it in color too and it looks great that way also.

Love the prop....so glad you guys brought it along!

Love love love this one! What a natural....and I am always a big fan of the "serious" look on the teenagers.

So pretty...with a new haircut and everything! :)

Thanks guys!! I had a lot of fun with you....hope we can do it again sometime.

Love...sweet Love!

Kelly and Lynn had an intimate wedding mid week...and a reception for their friends and family on a Friday night at the Lemp Grand Hall. I have know Kelly for a long time (she is a friend & co-worker of my moms). So when she asked me to photograph her reception...I was thrilled. She just glowed that night...so beautiful. So of course...my favorite picture of the session is #1...Mrs. Kelly Gregory. :)


Kelly...You are beautiful!!

Kelly and Lynn have such a "sweetness" about them. I don't know how to describe it...they are just kind, caring people...and that just pours out of them.

Taking in a quiet moment before all the guests arrived....loved all the candle lights. This room just glowed.

This was during the toast. And I love these moments...catching them when they don't know your watching. And in shows in the love on their faces that they are truly caught up in the moment.

I love the expression on their faces. So sweet. Thank you Kelly and Lynn for inviting me into your intimate evening. It was truly beautiful!
