April and Ryan's wedding!!!

Well, an amazing day has come and gone.   April and Ryan got married 9/19/09.  It was in their home north of the cities.  It was amazing.  We truly had the best vendors doing all parts of the wedding.  La Vie did the photography.  Capture Studios did the video.  We had bartenders from Liquid Motion that threw bottles (like in the movie "Cocktail")  There was an amazing Ice Sculpture from Ice Carvings Inc.  The rentals from Apres were to die for.  The catering which was mouth watering and so professional and with a super nice staff to boot (nearly 25 of them!) was done by Darek from Russell's on the Lake.  The most amazing part of the whole day...was that the reception was in there metal shed...you never would have known it!  April knew what she wanted she just didn't know what she wanted...so she brought me on board to plan and design her wedding.  It was spectacular!  We over the past 300 days spent so much time together that a great bond was made.  We hand picked every item for her wedding.  Although it is all-consuming, it is the best job I could ever dream of!   I loved picking every detail, from forks to the right color of celedon green.  Then came all the fun and original touches...which I LOVE and totally recommend!  Well, I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed making it.  You can view a video by going to Matt Brue (amazing videographer)'s blog http://vimeo.com/6752347 it is worth the time.  It is just over 3 minutes and this is just the sample of the video!!!!  :o)  I am so excited to see the photos and the rest of the video!  I was sad to drive away from the reception, although my feet were saying a different story! ;o)  Samantha was my trusty right hand.  We are a spectacular team if I don't say so my self! :o)  We are excited to launch The Hip Chick Co.  I'll let you know when we do...I will also let you know when new photo/video is up on this AMAZING wedding!

Kylissa & Nick's Engagements!

Meet Kylissa and Nick.  They are just plain DARLING!  This awesome couple made a large donation to the Breast Cancer 3 day this past year.  I couldn't have done it without you!

Baby Eva 4 months old!

Marty and Stacey have a new baby...Baby Eva.  Marty and Stacey got married at the beginning of my photography career.  In fact they were the first wedding I ever shot solo!  I was so super honored when they asked me to shoot their new baby!  OF COURSE!  She is super cute.  Thanks for continued business.

Ellen K - Senior Pix!

This BEAUTIFUL girl is Ellen, she is the niece of my friend and she is just so great to shoot.  Honestly I couldn't take a bad picture of her.  About half way through...I asked her if she watches America's Next Top Model, she told me she did...and I said that I could see her 'fierceness' and that she was smiling with her eyes.  Ellen you are a beautiful girl!  I am honored to have been selected to take your photos!  Thanks!
