Nick & Kristin | Arlington Wedding

I was so glad to be able to join Lauren Gay Photography for Nick and Kristin's beautiful wedding celebration!  Everything about the day was beautiful from the weather to the venue to the familiar love this couple shares.  Here are a few of my favorite images from the day...

Part of the fun of second shooting is being able to hang with the guys before the ceremony.  This was a great group!

Nick and Kristin were married at St Rita's Parish in Arlington.  Such a beautiful building!

After the ceremony, we headed back to The Renaissance in Arlington.  It is an incredible hotel and provided opportunities for such fun shots!

Just one more...

Lauren, thanks for allowing me to come along for this amazing event!  Nick and Kristin, I wish you all the happiness in the world!

Lisa | After the Cancer Session

I was amazed at Lisa's ease in front of the camera! "All those episodes of America's Next Top Model are paying off," she teased.  But later she shared with me that throughout the session she was thinking of different parts of her journey with cancer.  As I looked through the photos later, it made complete sense.  I wish I could adequately describe the kind of inspiration Lisa has been to me and so many others.  She is a woman of such strong faith and yet she's incredibly transparent about her weaknesses.  She's truly one of the most real women I know.  I'd love to tell you her whole story, but instead, you should just read her writing here.  Lisa, I'm so thankful I was able to capture these images for you and I'm especially thankful to call you my friend.

Kelly and Juan | Ritchie Lake Wedding

Kelly and Juan were married at Ritchie Lake surrounded by their family and friends.  It was an honor to meet them and the people who love them the most!  Here are a few of my favorite photos from their special day.

I always, always love a good first look!

All my best, Kelly and Juan!

Emma | Newborn Session

I absolutely adore little Emma.  Her whole family is very special to me and I was thankful they allowed me to capture their first days as a family of four.  Emma, you are so blessed to have the mommy and daddy God has given you.  And I can't even begin to imagine all the fun you and your sweet big sister will have!

Love this big sister and her beautiful curls. :)

 

Love you, Emma!
