Sweet little Sadie Grace, whose arrival was long awaited by her beautiful family.....

She is just as gorgeous and laid back as I expected- not at all bothered by the big black camera with flashing lights....

Congratulations, Finn family!

Sofia, you are going to be the best big sister and I hope you can teach our own Lily girl how to do it so well! Don't worry- once you get used to sharing all the attention, you will be in heaven with your new partner in crime!

Blake and Heather's victory over hurricane Irene!

Yes it's true! Heather and Blake got married only hours before hurricane Irene- and just to clarify- we were not upstate NY for the whole thing. We went as close as we could get..... into one of the evacuated Burroughs of NYC. 

I think that should give you a good picture of how crazy cool these guys are!

I had the privilege of capturing their day with my fabulous sister-in-law, and fellow photographer, Elizabeth of  http://elizabethannphotography.org/ (who was just insane enough to fly into the eye of the storm and join me from safe, dry, CO) Thank you to my little bro, niece and nephew for letting her come!

BUT can I tell you how much we enjoyed this experience??

Blake and Heather are not just crazy cool, they are full of strength and beauty that I hope you see in these pictures. 

Their love for each other, family and friends was inspiring and it truly was an honor to be a part of their day.

Eric and Kristen's wedding

The whole day started at the parent's of the bride in a home built by her father and grandfather in the town where he grew up.....
 So beautiful! 
That kind of heritage is so hard to come by in our culture and it was just the beginning of a very special day.

Eric and Kristen are a special couple- 
definately brought together by God and surrounded by family and friends who truly love them. 
They were kind, generous and thoughtful in every way, 
and their adoration of each other and Jeusus, was not only evident but a blessing to all of us able to be a part of their day.

First wedding of the season!

It was such a beautiful pleasure to be part of Dan and Christine's day.

They are both very special people and there wedding was nothing less.

Not only was the day full of fun (LOVE those purple shoes!) family and good friends, but it was also full of God's presence.

It was such an honor to be a part of all those special moments.

New York is at a loss to have you both leave, but look out Florida.....

Here come Mr. and Mrs. Norris!!

A birthday to remember and a Thanksgiving to be truly thankful for!

What am I talking about??

Keiya and Fausto's wedding day, of course!

I had the amazing privilege of taking pictures of this happy couple the morning of their wedding, which was the day before Thanksgiving AND Keiya's birthday! Super cool!

They were both so gracious and easy to get along with- I really had so much fun!

Do not be deceived, they made it look comfortable and natural, but it was FREEZING out! I still cannot believe how they persevered to get some cool shots by the bridge, but they did!
You can tell on first meeting that they are very special people and that the world around them is a better place because they are together. It was such a joy to be with them!

Thank you, guys!
It was an honor to meet you and I wish you the very best for a fabulous future together! 

Two sisters....

And their beautiful families!

I had the privilege of taking pictures of Karen and Sue with their husbands and 3 kids (each!)

I have to say that it was really cool to see how close all the cousins are! I can only imagine how much fun they have this time of year....

They were all troopers- since it was a pretty cold day and I drug everyone outside to get some nice autumn shots!

So sorry this took me such a long time to blog- btw- who knew how crazy this time of year would be! Ha ha!
