jerry & willie’s 50th anniversary
Just before I left for my trip, I had the pleasure of photographing this wonderful milestone anniversary for this awesome couple. Their family and friends came from near and far to help them celebrate. The cake topper was the original cake topper from their wedding 50 years ago to the day (it was stored in a ziplock bag and wasn’t even yellowed in the slightest!), and they found a baker to replicate the cake exactly. It was so great meeting them and their family, some of which I have photographed in the past and be there to see their amazing marriage and all of the love and happiness it created.

A beach engagement/save the date session for a brand new to bsquared couple who are getting married next year. So glad I got to meet and photograph them, and I’m wishing them a wonderful wedding and a happy life together!

the olea 50th anniversary
Making it to a 50 year anniversary is a big, big deal and I was so happy to be asked to take some pictures of Ginny & Art’s celebration. They are as sweet and as in love as they look in the photos. Their family and friends were so happy to celebrate with them. It was really a great day.

the bodk family
Photographed this fantastic family several times over the years, both together and separately. But this shoot with dad/grandpa’s plane at the airport? Yeah, you know how totally excited I was about this one!! Talk about an awesome “prop’!!! (and best of all, I didn’t have to go up in it! you know how i lust love to fly!) You can see some of their past sessions here, here, here and here. But this one takes the cake, at least for me.

ben’s prom
Another great pre-prom party I got to photograph for one of my favorite bsquared families. Ben graduated and will be heading to University of Michigan in the fall, but had a fun prom night to take care of first. The pre-prom party was at our friends’ house so there were lots of familiar faces in the crowd. I don’t know how they all looked so phenomenal- it was about 150,000 degrees out (give or take), and how the guys in their tuxes weren’t dying.
Ben looked so handsome in his tux- a felt a rat pack vibe going on…










If Ben’s grandparents look familiar, its because Ben and Rachel are cousins, so they were in my last blog post too. 


Some faces in the crowd…
Some of my favorites!
Jumped in one shot w my friend Fran (who was hosting the party). Yeah, not the most flattering pic of me (I was a sweaty, frizzy, red mess) but whatever.
Do you remember Tina from her prom last year?


The reflection in the pool was my favorite. Hope you all had a wonderful prom night!
