True Love.

So last month I had an awesome opportunity to second shoot a wedding with the wonderful Chris Whonsetler :)  He was gracious enough to let me tag along behind him asking all kinds of questions, moving his equipment, asking more questions followed by me asking....well, more questions :)  So I wanted to share a few photos that I look while helping him get some more candid shots.  This was my first wedding!  I can say that I still have things to learn and I can't wait to get more practice for the 2 weddings I have this summer :)

This wedding was for Clinton & Bethany.  I spent the majority of my time with Bethany while she was getting ready with her bridesmaids.  I had a blast :)  Bethany is one of those girls that are just genuinely sweet.  She was so welcoming when me, a stranger, walked into her room and put my camera in her face!  My favorite part was when "Mmm Bop" by Hanson came on her iTunes :)  Bethany & Clinton--I wish the best for you both and I know God will truly bless your marriage.  Thanks for letting my tag along with Chris on your special day!

 The pin on her garder is a family heirloom :)

The girls shared a wonderful prayer for Bethany and Clinton before she walked down the isle

 

What a beautiful bride!

 She's married :)

 The happy couple

 One of my favorites :)

 

The pastor forgot to say "you may kiss the bride" at the ceremony.....so they made up for it at the reception!

And I will leave you with everyone gettin' down at the reception :)

Bethany & Clinton, thank you again for letting me be a part of this special day :)  It was so beautiful to see the love you both have for each other and I hope that you keep that love for years to come :)

Michael+Holly+Rylan+Baby Dawson

So a couple of weeks ago I traveled over to Kokomo, IN to take maternity pictures for our friends Michael & Holly.  She was about to pop--so I am glad we got them done when we did! :)  They were expecting a son and they named him Dawson Tyler.  He was actually born last week!  They also decorated his nursery in a Cubs theme because they named him after a player named Dawson (can't remember the exact player though....) and since the weather has been so horrible we decided to take the pictures in their house--which posed lighting issues for me......but we worked it out :) 

This family means the world to me.  Michael is in our group so we travel with them a lot and they still choose to be my friend :)  Which is a blessing.

 One of my favorites :)

 

 Rylan behaved so well!  All I had to do was let him take some pictures and he sat still and smiled! :)

 

Another one of my favorites!

 

 

Rylan is such a sweetie.  He loved telling me about his baby brother! :)

 A night at the Early household! :)

And of course....Big Brother :)

Thanks for being patient with me guys!  I had such a blast capturing these memories for you.
