Mini Shoot: Hannah & Reagan

I had a fun mini shoot with these two cuties this past Monday. It had been 2yrs since our last one and I have to say they are just as cute as ever. They were so full of energy and spunk, coming up with poses all on there own. They are both so adorable and have so much personality it was a lot of fun. Here are a few of my faves.

A Downtown Engagement: Britney & Tim

There is something so beautiful about two people really in love. You know what I'm talking about...the sweet glances, the soft touches and the knowing smiles. All those simple things that make you feel like your on top of the world. It is one of my favorite things to witness because it is so precious and rare.

This past weekend we had the pleasure of spending time with Britney & Tim. They have been apart for three months...so you can imagine how special this session was. It wasn't hard to come upon all of those sweet little moments. We had such a blast and we can't wait to shoot their wedding in just a few short weeks!

Wedding: Becky & Jeremy

We had a great time with these two, who we had the pleasure of shooting before, at their beautiful wedding. Which ended up being moved indoors because of rain, and the entire time, they didn't skip a beat. They were happy to be in love, and happy to be getting married... and Becky + Jeremy, we were happy to be there too!

Meet the Swartz Family

We had a fantastic shoot this past Saturday with the gorgeous Swartz Family. I had been working on building the set of this shoot for a week and I was so excited to see it all come together in our studio. On top of that I couldn't wait to take pictures of Derek and his adorable little red head. He was a pro in front of the camera, all eyes were on him and he knew just what to do. The shoot was filled with lots of toothy grins and sweet little laughs; we loved every minute. Erika, Kurt and Derek we had an absolute blast spending the morning with you!

Mini Shoots: The Pettit's

There is something so beautiful and special about a mother's connection with her little boy, these two knew just how to encourage each other. They knew how to make each other laugh, smile and really shine. They brought out the best in each other and it made our job not only easy but really fun. Karen and Drew, we seriously had such an amazing time with you, it was everything we love about our family portrait sessions.

Senior Feature: Desiree

DesiSneekPeak

Last week we had an awesome Senior Portrait session with the gorgeous and talented, Desiree. Our first shoot was canceled because of the rain but for this particular evening the weather was perfect. Being that we are entering into the glorious season of fall, darkness comes a little faster so we were in a race to catch as much light as possible while hitting all of our desired locations. Desiree was a champ, she mastered the art of the quick wardrobe change and she rocked out every pose thrown her way. We had a blast and we got some beautiful shots of this amazing girl. Desi we are so proud of you and can't wait to see what awesome things God has in store for your future!

I love Senior Portrait Sessions. There is just something fulfilling about spending time with kids that are getting ready to start the next chapter of life. I love hearing about their dreams and finding myself pulled into hoping that they will reach all of them one day. Those sessions always take me back to my Senior year and I remember all the excitement and nerves that exploded from within me, all the unknown I was ready to take head on. It is such an amazing step in our lives, I am so thankful that we are given the opportunity to be a part of it over and over again.
We had a blast shooting with Katelyn on Monday. She is absolutely gorgeous, with a perfect movie star smile. She opted for a two part shoot so we have the awesome opportunity to shoot with her again this weekend. I know Tab and I are both really looking forward to it and we will be sure to share a sneak peek from that shoot too. Be sure to check Tab's blog for more of this shoots goodness.

It's that time of the year again, graduation is upon us. Do you remember what it was like? It's that time when the world seems a bit bigger and your stomach can't help but fill with butterflies. That time of year when life feels like it is about to show you what you were made for, like tomorrow holds your dreams and your about to reach them. It is an awesome time of year, a time of limitless possibilities. We at Relish Studios were blessed with the opportunity to capture this gorgeous girl as she embarks on the next part of her journey and we are so excited to see what dream she ends up chasing.

Engaged: Jeremy & Becky

We at Relish Studios had the awesome opportunity to spend time with this amazing couple and capture their love. The beautiful thing about this engagement shoot was that they were so wrapped up in each other all we had to do was set the stage and they made the special moments happen. We had such a blast hanging with these two and being a part of their love story. We'll be posting their beautiful wedding soon.

For more pics of this gorgeous couple check out my awesome partner in crime, she's got mad skills.

Meet the Slaters

Slater Sneak Peek

We at Relish Studios had the great pleasure of spending time with this adorable family on Monday. The shoot started out with a lil' road trip, the spot that we had planned on shooting at ended up not being available so we improvised. We discovered another park just 10 minutes away and found exactly what we were looking for. Needless to say, this made for a fun beginning. These three were great, they rolled with the punches and the shoot turned out wonderful. We had a lot of fun and got some beautiful shots of this adorable family playing and loving each other. For a few more shots of these lil' lovelies, check out my partner in crime.

Josh + Crystal + Lil Adeline, thanks for spending the morning with us! It was so lovely to meet you and your gorgeous little family, and thanks for being such awesome sports when it came to our mini-road trip. :) Your gallery will be up shortly!
