It’s about time we show some senior boys on the blog and he’s a boy’s boy if there ever was one, when I asked his mom what Connor was into, it was hunting, dirt bikes, rugby and anything outdoors.  It just so happens that I worked with his two other boy cousins that same day that all go to different high schools, what are the chances that the schedule would work out like that?   It was crazy how different they were but how much they like each other and respect each other, so watch for their shoots coming up.  Connor was great to work with, I loved his sarcastic, quick sense of humor, we got along right away.  He was so funny and kept me on my toes.  Thanks for a fab afternoon!

Is she not crazy gorgeous?  I love her contagious smile, Elli is so sweet and beautiful, it was wonderful getting to know her!  Thanks for a fabulous afternoon Elli!!!

Check out the newest addition to one of my favorite families.  It seems like just yesterday we were taking Kate’s newborn pics and now she is a big sister!  It’s hard to believe how fast time flies by.  Anna was so easy going and mellow I can’t wait to watch her grow, she is a lucky little girl to be born into such a fabulous family!

LOVE this girl!  She is one of my fabulous Class of 2014 Senior Models for JGP.  I have adored her since I photographed her family years ago and knew I would want her down the road to be one of my senior models, she was so sweet  I had no doubt she would grow up to be a wonderful young lady.  And obviously she did – hello gorgeous!!!  So not only is she beautiful on the outside but the inside as well, I have the share an experience that totally impressed me – one of the perks of being a model is that you get a $25 gift card to Apricot Lane for every referral from you that books, we accidentally sent her a duplicate card and paid her on the same referral twice, I felt like a proud mom, my heart swelled when I received a text from Baylee saying just to let you know I think you may have sent me an extra AL card on accident I can bring it back to you at my shoot later this week.  Not many people would do that, I don’t know if we would have ever caught that glitch, thank you Baylee.  I was impressed and of course it made me love and respect her even more.  Kuddos to mom and dad for raising such an honest girl!!  I know you have an amazing future ahead of you, I can’t wait to see what fabulous adventures lie ahead!

I really do get to work with the best families ever!   I am totally impressed with the people that I get to meet and come to know.  I first worked with Dad on a commercial shoot for his dental practice, he was really nice, but I thought he was even more fantastic after I met his fabulous family.  Isn’t that funny how that happens?  You meet someone casually , and think oh they’re a nice guy, then you meet their closest loved ones and get to spend some time with them and are like -WOW- your wife is awesome, fun kids, and you guys are amazing!!!  It was so fun getting to know your wonderful family!!

What a great girl!  Jessica is so spunky, vibrant and up for anything.  Did you know she is an award winning clogger too?  Fun times were had on this shoot!

I’m pretty sure Taylor doesn’t have any idea how gorgeous she is, she is stunning.  She is nice, humble and totally sporty too – softball star!  Pretty much the whole package.  Loved her!

Loving my couples this summer!  Kristyn and Dustin were so head over heels for each other, they were totally smitten, it was so great to hear their love story about how they connected during our first meeting.  They checked into each other from afar, then went back and forth on facebook and finally met for coffee, after that the rest was history, they knew it was meant to be, they had an instant connection and their fairytale romance began.  They both are safe, spiritual, dedicated, kind, respectful but fun and a bit goofy, they have amazing friends and supportive family.  A pretty great set up for an amazing life if you ask me.  We had a blast together on their big day.  I loved how excited Kristyn was to see Dustin and how blown away he was by his gorgeous bride.  We had a blast running around town getting great shots of them including them playing cards, (they are crazy for speed, and super competetive, even on their wedding day, there weren’t cutting eachother any slack) We wanted Dad to have a special moment seeing his daughter for the first time as well and I had to share – you know I am a sucker for father, daughter pics.  After the beautiful ceremony it was off to the fun filled reception, while the guests were enjoying their dinner the wedding party took a spin in the golf carts for some last of the daylight fun, (some of my favs)  It was a beautiful day!! Congrats you guys!!! xoxoxo

First of all – I love the name – Scarlett, how pretty, and isn’t she gorgeous?  She was the sweetest thing, with constant little smiles for me all morning.  Of course I couldn’t leave out the girls, you may remember them kissing in the leaves last fall with big bird and cookie monster (see them here), we had to take advantage of some play time while Scarlett was having a snack.  Mom and Dad are rock stars, let’s just get that out on the table, I can’t imagine having barely two year old twins and a newborn, holy cow!! They amaze me…..and mom looks fab on top of it!  Congrats to a wonderful family,  I’ve loved getting to know you, thanks for including me!

Isn’t she adorable!!  I loved getting to know McKenzie, she is pretty fab!   Thanks for the great session!  I love my senior girls this year!       I’m so spoiled!
