So, after many hours of editing…I’m finally able to share more of this amazing wedding.  I included a Slideshow for all of you to enjoy.

This day was amazing.  It started out with pictures of the bride getting ready, which are some of my favorite pictures.  Next I went to the hadsome Groom and all of his Groomsmen.  Then came group shots,  bride and groom, ceremony, and finally the reception.  Here are a few of my favorites.  I really had a hard time picking what to post, so please whatch the slideshow to see more.  The song in the slideshow is what the danced to for their first dance.

The brides makeup was amazing!!!  If any of you need you make up done I highly recommend this makeup artist.  Here name is Taylor Jones and she can be reached at 480-233-9194.  She’s truly talented!

I loved the RED shoes.  They added so much sass and who doesn’t love sass.

Oh how I love newborns.  This little guy was only 5 days old.  Everything about him from his soft baby cry to his sweet newborn smell spoke of his freshness from heaven.  It’s such a special privlidge to be able to be part of this moment.  That sweet newborn stage only lasts for such a short time.  That’s why these pictures are truly timeless and such a treasure.

I love when clients choose to do their pictures in their own home especially when they have an amazing backyard such is this.  My family was probably so sick of me at the end because all I wanted to do was keep taking pictures.  This family was a joy to photography.  They are all so gorgeous and photogenic.  I really feel so lucky lately, to be working with such wonderful families.  This time of year is always so stressful and I feel like a scatter brain most of the time…but I wouldn’t give it up.  I love this!

See what I mean…….Beautiful!!

This photo feels so romantic to me.  The sun, the couple…all perfect.

As I was editing these pictures, my Husband came in while I was working on this one and he made the comment “I really like that picture….it looks like it’s from a fairytale.”  So, I had to share the fairy tale picture.

The story behind this…is I had a particular picture in my head and I’ll admit this came out nothing like I had planned, but I still love it none the less.

I had the privilege to photograph a wedding last Saturday.  Although it was a super long day (12hours)….I couldn’t have had more fun.  There is something about a bride on her wedding day all dressed in white and radiating beauty, that speaks to my heart.  I love what I do!!!!!!!

I will be posting a slide show soon of more gorgeous pictures….but I couldn’t wait to share, so here is a little sneak peek.

As we were walking somewhere to take more pictures I turned around and my heart stopped…..I saw this light and in my head this image.  It came out amazing!  I love the connection!

Their first dance as Husband and Wife….So dreamy!!!

This image speaks to me…..This is the radiating beauty I’m talking about

I pulled the couple away for one last picture…..It was defiantly worth it.  It’s very movie star!

What a gorgeous family and a beautiful day to take pictures!  With all the craziness that’s been going on with the busy pictures season, I love the time I get to sit back and edit my families I’ve been photographing.  I enjoy seeing the emotion and joy that’s captured and remembering that this is why I do this……I love creating and capturing their memories.

Enjoy your sneak peek!

It took some thinking on how to get this family to really smile….not just picture smile, but really smile, but in the end I figured it out…..and voila!, the smiles I’d been looking for!!!!!  I’m in love with this family picture.

This family, is really into golf, and I’m sure amazing at it, so we snatched a few pictures of the boys in front of a golf cart.  I love how relaxed this photo feels.  It’s perfection!

My dear husband calls me today and tells me that a lot if these pictures are distorted on his computer at work, they look fine to me, but how do they look to you guys.  Do any of these pictures look distorted?  Leave me a comment or email me at janelleh1@hotmail.com

It’s always the best when you get to photograph close friends!  My friends Amy and Matt have two businesses, one is a custom painting business (Matt does a fabulous job I highly recommend him! Website here) the other is a party bounce equipment, the kind you rent for parties. ( Website here)  So, lucky me, bartered a free session for an exchange of a free bounce play for my daughters upcoming b-day party!  I can’t wait!

So, we went to one of my favoirte locations and had a blast!  Here are some of my favorites from the session…

A new black and white with texture…. I’m loving this!  What do you guys think??

So, when you are the family photographer, of course you are the one to do family pictures even if it means setting up a tripod and running into the picture…..not easy.  I have such a hard time with this, because I feel like I can’t be as creative when the camera’s stuck on the tripod.  Luckily my family loves me and even though these pictures are far from perfect, I love them because they are of my family!

This one is my fave!!  I love strong light and it feels like we are all glowing.  It’s Heavenly!

Look at my face in this one…….Ashlee wasn’t cooperating and I literally lost it and wanted to pull all my hair out.  Seriously, what a 3 year can do to ruin picture fun:)

What an absolute adorable princess!  You can tell she has so much love surrounding her.  This session was mostly for her so, we have tons and tons of way to sweet and cute photos.

I loved this one in vintage too….. so enjoy!

I love how she naturally went to each brother and lovingly put her hand on each of their faces.  To sweet for words!
