The Jacob Family

This shoot came at the end of a long day, but what a shoot to end on! I had a blast. I have to give a little shout-out to this family for being such good sports. They put up with several of my kooky ideas, one of which is this first photo. I LOVE how it turned out. It yielded many laughs and smiles as we tried four different times. I believe the take shown here was intended to be "The Newsies Jump." :)







The gentlemen of the family (minus Dad, of course...)






Mom and Dad Jacob.


This--was not one of my crazy ideas. I can't quite remember who's it was, but I love it. Kudos to Dan who held the whole thing up--and with a smile, too! :)


This--WAS one of my kooky ideas. And yes--I love how it turned out. Thanks again, guys, for humoring me!


I figured they deserved to show how they were feeling at the time--SQUISHED!


The girlies!




In honor of a family joke...


Studly.




Well... almost, guys. But a couple of you missed the memo. Which, ultimately makes this one even funnier. :)




Love love love. Not planned. Well, by me, yes--but they had no idea I was actually shooting here. We were just re-locating, and I couldn't resist. :)


Thanks again Jacob family! I had a blast...

A Fantastic Family

This past Wednesday I met up with this great family to take some family pictures. Not only were they a blast to shoot with, but they introduced me to an amazing new location! Thanks guys!










So silly... :)














I love the blues in this picture.


All old-school.




Thanks again! You guys were fantastic!

Jenny and Brandon are Married!

Freshly married!


























The reception was gorgeous. Beautiful colors, beautiful location, and beautiful people! Here are the bridesmaids!


And... the babies. I still laugh when I look at this one. And FYI for anyone interested--see those cute little girls on either side of Jenny? They'll be coming up again in my next post. Yup--you should be excited. :)




Delicious food, too!


I think I want one of these. Yes. Yes I do.






The flowers were incredible! These happened to be on the cake, but the bouquets were incredible too! Was I jealous that each of the bridesmaids got their own smaller bouquet? Um... yes. Because I wanted one. :)


I love these. Even though it was dark, and a flash was necessary, the moment was priceless.


Yeah. The fountain was also fiberoptic. And I still want one. :)


The lovely table display...


And, of course, another ring picture. With such fantastic flowers, I couldn't resist!




Congratulations again, you two!
