Mud-Lover


This girl means business.
She is serious about her playtime.
She is having more than the time of her life.
On a daily basis, I can't get her out of the mud. 
She prefers to sit right in the middle, 
fully clothed, 
waist deep,
in mud puddles (aka her brother's tractor ponds).


If you can still look this adorable,
while accessorizing yourself with mud ... I say, more power to you!



 This is Gwen. 
She is a mud-lover and someone would do some serious damage in a staring contest.  :)

Mike & Brittney: wedding day

Mike and Brittney got married on Superbowl Sunday!  Brittney, like myself, is a Raiders fan, which leaves us both very little to cheer about.  I am so glad she and Mike tied the knot-it was the perfect way to spend a Sunday.  These two love music, love to bowl together on Sundays and have a true love for one another.  One of my favorite parts of their wedding day was listening to their best men & maid of honors give their toasts.  They shared so beautifully about their appreciation for these two and their genuine love for them as well.  Mike and Brittney you are blessed with many things: loving families, dear friends, and now all the days ahead of you as a Mr. & Mrs.
Thank you to Hugh Forte for coming along to help photograph the day.








Mike and Brittney were limited on time at their wedding site, so they opted for a first look.  Seeing each other before the ceremony, gave them a chance to be alone together before the day began moving in full swing.  These moments are always fun, romantic, and unpredictable.








Brittney you have a stunning smile. You simply light up!



Their ceremony took place at Wayfarers Chapel on the cliffs of Palos Verdes.


 









They did their cake cutting the right way!  Mike and Brittney-you rock...

Thank you both for giving me the opportunity to be a part of your day.  I loved being able to photograph your special day and felt pure joy as you saw each other for the first time, kiss for the first time as husband and wife, as you shoved cake in one another's faces, and as you danced the night away.  Congratulations!
