Riliegh and Drew are two of the best kids in town… Skyesville I should say. Ann Marie and Tom are Patrick’s cousins (now my cousins), and Drew and Riliegh are their kids.

Patrick and I kidnapped these two (with parent permission) and took them out to do a photoshoot. They did and looked amazing. It was freezing though. We couldn’t feel our hands anymore, but the adventure of running through the woods kept us out and about.

Ann Marie and Tom will use these pictures for gifts, a holiday card, and also to update their portraits in their house. Can’t wait to see which picture they end up using!

Uncle John turned 60 and we celebrated! Aunt Terrie and her siblings threw a great party for him under the tent! Here’s a sweet and short recap of this wonderful night!

Skylar was our flower girl in our wedding. We were at the birth of Summit. These two girls are super special to us and their parents, Cameron and Lindsay are wonderful friends of ours. We wanted to capture this day for them. Even though the room was really dark, and I didnt have a flash, we figured we’d share this with them.

We are so excited to have this blog post up for the Wanless couple! This day was beautiful and the location wonderful. However, nothing was as pretty as the couple themselves, the newly married Wayne and Morgan Wanless.

This coming Saturday, two incredible people are getting married! John
Michael McDade is marrying Heather Marino! Patrick and I are so excited
for their wedding on Saturday!

Ellicott City has some great places. The Wareheim family, cousins and all, met me near Frederick Road and Centennial Lane to update their family pictures. They all looked SO sharp… even the toddler who was not happy to be there.  

This past Sunday, Patrick and I met up with our friends Tyler and Rachael Restrick to photograph them, and Rachael’s big baby belly! 

A month ago today, we (a group of bridesmaids) threw a shower for
Lauren, my future sister-in-law. She is marrying my brother on September
29th, almost a month away!

Every summer our family ventures off to what we feel like is heaven on earth. We drive 12 hours north and find ourselves isolated in a cabin, 15 feet from a crystal clear lake.  We don’t like sharing where exactly we go, as its sacred and precious to us… and we like it that way, free from tourists and lake hunters.

A few friends have been inquiring about how Patrick is doing with all things baseball. The answer… incredible.

To bring you up to date, Wink Nolan is in Colorado this summer, playing for the Trinidad Triggers, a professional baseball team in the Pecos League, an independent baseball league out in the mid-west.
