erin + matt {engaged}

Before photographing Erin and Matt for their engagement session, I asked each one (individual of the other), some getting to know you questions. I was struck by the sweet, kind and similar remarks each had to the question “What is one thing that your fiance´does right now that you never want to forget?”

Erin: “How his face lights up whenever he sees me, no matter where we are.”

Matt said “It is the way that she makes me feel when I come home at the end of the day.”

Well it’s easy to see why Matt’s face lights up when he sees the oh so beautiful Erin…

And how cute and fun is this little display of affection from Matt…

I just love Erin’s infectious laugh in this next image…

These two say they are opposites. It must be the kind of opposite that peanut butter is to jelly… each one is just so much better with the other…

Don’t you love Erin and Matt’s beautiful backyard? So nice for summertime relaxing. Check out the gorgeous red rose Matt gave to Erin just because he knows she likes them.

Of course, I’ve got to get a kissing photo in here. So cute…

Erin and Matt, thanks so much for a wonderful time in your lovely home and garden! Looking forward to photographing your wedding in just a couple of weeks! xoxo, Alice

Lynne and Christopher were married last weekend. We just love these two, and there tons of gorgeous photos to show for it. Here is one that caught my eye for now…

abby + charles {senior ball}

My beautiful niece Abby had her High School Senior Ball about a week ago. I can’t believe she is getting ready to graduate and go on to college. So glad Beth and I could be there to photograph some portraits of her and her friends. This is by far my favorite of the evening…

Isn’t this a great looking bunch? Loving all of the different colors the girls wore. Love you Abby, you look gorgeous!

If you’ve read anything about me, in my bio section, or any of my posts, you probably know at least these two things: 1) I love photography and 2) I love dogs! So every once in a while, I get the great honor of photographing those four legged creatures and the humans that love them! Well, here is a just a quick peek of Cyd and her black lab Nina’s portrait session…

Here is a cute little photo of Erin, Matt, and their cats. Sushi is the darker orange cat, and that big boy walking out of the frame is her son d’Artagnan. I confess when Erin and Matt told me d’Artagnan’s name I knew it sounded familiar but it I didn’t recall what the name referenced… nor did I ask. It wasn’t until just now, when I googled it for spelling, that I rediscovered d’Artagnan was the “Fourth Musketeer.” How cute is that? The Four Musketeers…

More images coming soon!

Running out of time for the perfect Mother’s Day Gift? Fret no more… I offer gift certificates. Just give the office a call, and we will take care of your photo gift needs.

In fact, the session I’m posting today was a gift session. A few weeks ago, Brian hired me for this super fun dog/family portrait session as a special gift for Piper’s recent birthday… Happy Birthday again Piper!

Nothing like photos and kisses for a great birthday…

This next image is one of my favorites…

Here are some of the whole family…

I love this adorable image that Beth captured…

This was not my typical pet family portrait session, because after we finished with these four all of Doc and Cooper’s doggy cousins came over too. That would be a total of five labs of all varieties as well as an adorable basset hound.

Everyone was ready for their closeups…

Well, not quite everybody…

Love this closing image from inside the house…

Piper and Brian, thank you so much for the crazy fun dog adventures! xoxo, Alice

A few weeks back, Beth and I had a super fun day photographing some family portraits for Piper, Brian, Doc, and Cooper. This day was full of lots of doggy adventure… or should I say this adventure was full of lots of doggies! I’ll reveal more when I post the rest of the images. For now, I’ll just share a quick peek of this sweet portrait that caught my eye…

More photos coming soon!

I hope you are enjoying my 14 hearts countdown to Valentines Day. Let’s face it though, sometimes we don’t always get what or who we want. What do you do when a heart is out of reach?

This photo is from a snapshots! session with my nephews Derek and Cooper… you guys are the best! xoxo

heart {no. 7}

These images come from Julie and Rick’s engagement portrait session last summer. I followed them along as they picked blueberries, which they used to make homemade blueberry jam for their wedding favors. They were so nice to send me a jar. I thought I would make a nice Marthaesque picture of the jam, but instead I just ate it all up. I had never been blueberry picking before, and I was amazed at how delicious they were right of the vine…

When I spied a nearby picnic table at the blueberry farm, I knew exactly what I was going to do next. Although at the time, I had no idea it would someday be referred to as heart number seven…
