Baby Anabelle is already 6 months old and such a beauty with her creamy, fair skin and bright blue eyes. Only a few hours before their session, the poor angel had her 6 month set of shots. She was such a sweetheart and let us get a few heart melting shots before she had enough. At that point we moved on to get some family portraits so she could be close to her mama and run around the park with her daddy. Once we figured out all she wanted to do was run wild and free, there were lots of giggles and smiles to be had.  It’s silly how much we love this little family. I think they love us back, which is pretty awesome.

Now that Katie and Scott are married, I thought I’d share some of Katie’s bridal portraits. It was a perfectly overcast day to go stomping around the country in a wedding dress.

This one is way overdue by about 4 months. Sweet baby Anabelle came into the world back in October. We have been documenting almost every phase of Dustin and Shelly’s life as a couple so far. The first shoot I tagged along with Robby to was their engagement session. It has been pretty neat to be around for those moments as they have grown into a family of three (five including the dogs). She is just the happiest little baby. It always brightens my day when we see her. Isn’t her nursery just the most precious thing?

This is a long overdue post, but here are a few of our favorites from our 11.11.11 wedding. Whitney and Patrick were married at Casady Chapel in Oklahoma City. It was a perfect November evening that gave us the most gorgeous light.

Jessica and I go way back to Junior High. Our days were filled with cheerleading and learning the Dr. Evil rap songs in the Austin Powers movies. We were all kinds of weird  and we liked it that way. She is the kind of friend you can go months without seeing and pick up right were you left off the last time you hung out.  I deeply cherish our friendship and am so honored she asked us to capture this stage in Preston’s childhood.

I remember going to see preston when he was just a day old in the hospital, he was the ring bearer in our wedding two and a half years ago cutely refusing to go down the aisle (don’t they all), and now he is a kindergartener with the biggest imagination. It makes me feel extremely old.  We had a blast running and playing with him at the new addition to the Myriad Gardens downtown. What a fun age!

We all laughed our way through this entire engagement session. We had a blast getting to know Lauren and Michael a little better and we can’t wait for their wedding in May. 

We cannot wait for Dustin and Shelly to welcome sweet baby Anabelle to the world in just a few short weeks! This is such an exciting time in their lives and we were so glad we got to document a little bit of it for them.

Violet’s favorite game as of late is peek-a-boo. She loves for us to throw a blanket over her and pull it off. Her absolute favorite though is when we get under the blanket together, get lost, and find each other again. I’ve never seen a bigger smile on her. I wanted to remember it forever.

Oh Mr. Ollie, you are the cutest.

Jessica has been my hair stylist since my sophomore year at OU. She even styled my  hair for our wedding about a month after Elley was born. I was so excited when she asked us to do a mommy-daughter shoot for her and Elley. This session was filled with book reading, candy, balloons, and lots of twirling, so of course we had a blast capturing Elley do her thing. She kept us laughing and on our toes the whole time.
