This is Sammy on a snowy day in February.

Below is a dear friend of mine, Sammy. She's from Iowa, meaning she's used to snow. Haha I was freeeezzzinnnggg during this shoot and I'm pretty sure she was thinking that I'm a big ole' pansy ha. She asked me to take some photos of her a few weeks back so she could use them in a modeling contest. Click here to go vote for her! She's a beautiful person and talented in more ways than one! Meet Sammy :)

My favorites of 2011

The year 2011 brought many memories that molded me, taught me, changed me. I wanted to share a few photos that depicted these moments. I lived a while in India, I shot a few weddings, I got engaged, shot another wedding, all in all it was a year full and wonderful. I hope you enjoy a few photos that tell the story of 2011 for me.

Meet Nikki. Soon to be momma Nikki to baby Zoe. A few weekends ago I took these of Nikki and baby Zoe, and it was just precious listening and seeing Nikki talk about her and her hubby's baby that will be here before they know it. Congrats to Zach and Nikki. You guys are going to be great parents with a beautiful baby girl!
