DeVries

A perfect, sunny fall day, an adorable family of four, a walk in the woods, and lots of smiles...

Mark

I may be biased to think that this senior is quite a stud.  Spending an extremely small amount of time with my little brother...who's not quite so little...was a blast.  There's something extra special about taking pictures of people you know really well.  You capture the things about them that nobody else could notice. 

It's the best feeling to be able to feel completely natural interacting with someone from behind the camera.  And with my little brother...that was probably the best part. 

k&k

The beginnings of my relationship with Kate included late night pillow talks, dance party study breaks, history lessons, lots of girl talk, and the beginning of an incredible friendship.  

The beginnings of my relationship with Karl included him pretending to hate me, me finding rolled up pieces of paper all over my floor, and us learning to share his amazing girlfriend... now fiancé.   

I got the call in August.  She asked me when I was moving into school.  I asked her the same.  "So...want to do me a favor?" she said...."Want to take my engagement pics this fall?!"  I'm sure my scream was loud enough to break her eardrum.  Congratulations Kate and Karl....I love you both and could not be happier for you...

The Unexpected

I love how the most unexpected picture opportunities surprise me.  

I had no idea I would be shooting these two for a few short moments, but the unexpected opportunity arose.  Somehow, those moments always seem to be the best.  

The Princess is One

In the busyness of the beginning of the school year, we never got to share the one year shoot of our princess with you.  Adorable as ever...check this girl out [who,by the way,is growing up WAY TOO FAST.]
