A great article on “Wedding Photography”

It definitely was a challenge for us but we had a great time. Here are a few of our favs from the session. This nice little furry fella is Murphy. He is filled with energy.

Baby Ryan


I am thrilled for a chance to capture this special memory for Kevin and Nikki who just became first time parents. Scott and I are very excited for them both. Baby Ryan weighed 7 pounds 6 ounces when he was born. I photographed him when he was 6 days old. He won’t be this little for long so it is going to be great to have these to look back on.
