Our Daughter, Jordyn Ashlee

Recently, I took a trip to New Mexico to visit my best friend. While I was out there she gave birth to her beautiful daughter. So, while she was in the hospital, I had some down time to do a photo shoot of my daughter. It was just a five or 10 minute shoot. I just took her outside and began shooting. She is only 10 months old, but already loves to have her photo taken. She even knows that after it is taken she is able to view it on the back. So, after the photo is taken she always leans over like she is trying to see the back of my camera.... it is just the cutest thing. Once she sees herself on the screen, she laughs and gets right back in position. Sometimes, she even kisses herself on the screen. Anyways, I wanted to share a few images from that. The photo on the stairs... I set her down thinking she is going to try and roll forward down the steps, but she didn't. She placed each hand on the step behind her and continued to pose like this for several minutes. It turned out awesome!

Family makes events FUN

Recently, I shot a wedding for a family friend, Melinda and Jeff. Its always fun shooting weddings for people that you know. But, this wedding my older brother and sister-in-law were actually in the wedding. My other family were their and they brought my sweet, 10 month old daughter. It was so much fun. For those of you who do not know my older brother, he can entertain a room full of people very easily. He is a complete goofball, to say the least. My brother was the best man... luckily he knows the bride and groom very well. This explains why no one in the wedding party was surprised by all the jokes and goofing. I laughed so hard the entire day. I loved shooting all the photos of everyone. From the wedding party to the guests, everyone was full of energy, feeding off of my brother. The grandparents of the bride got their camera out, at one point, just to take a photo of my brother dancing. My parents were their with my daughter and it was so sweet to see how excited they were to be watching her for the day. I love my family! I love to shoot weddings, too. It was a great day! Here are a few photos.
