Finally.... a sneak peek for Darci!

My Favorite: I love love the family photo. They look so comfortable and cozy together - not your traditional posed family wedding photo.

However, my favorite part of the wedding was when John came to get Darci - REWIND: Darci and I were hanging back waiting for a cue for her grand entrance - add the feelings a bride gets right before she is called down the aisle.... Well, Darci was a little nervous and took a tad bit to long to get out there. So, John ran back to get her! It was perfect - I think eveyone felt their love at that moment.

Congratulations John and Darci!

One of the many perks... you meet really great people in this industry.

Twins... oh my, they really started my biological clock ticking again. Check out this cute family.

Christmas.

My favorite holiday tradition is Christmas cards. Every year I make my own and love love doing it.

Flannel jammies speak "Happy Holidays" loudly. What do you think?

If you have been following my BLOG you should recognize this little one - I think she remembered me this time!

Here are a few of my favorites.

Brie & John were one of the sweetest couples I have ever worked with. They both were so happy and giggly all day - not even their disheveled wedding cake could bring them down.... no chaos at this wedding!

Oh, I am sure you have noticed... but, isn't she stunning?

Thank you again for allowing me to document your special day.

Fall is by far my favorite time of year! I love the fleece sheets (yes fleece) on my bed, latte's, my Smartwool socks, blazers, boots, jeans, cute scarves, the falling leaves, the crisp air, electric blankets, snuggling... I could go on and on.

Here are a few pics from our venture to the Pumpkin Patch this year. Mmmmm... pumpkin pie.

So, the last 2 pictures are hilarious (I could not resist) - Audrey was so bummed out when she realized I had caught her coming out of the Honey Bucket. HHEHEHEHE

How sweet is this? I felt a little bad documenting this moment but I am glad I did. Look how dad turned this whole scenario around... Audrey, Claire and I are very fortunate to have this wonderful man in our life. I love you , Mike.

I always wonder if I am doing what I am meant to do. What is my purpose on this earth? Mother, Wife, Photographer... you always wonder.

Then.... you receive things like this that reassure you that you are on the right path:

"Tonya-

Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures of my daughter and our family. The whole experience was amazing. You made Natalie feel so comfortable and you really captured who she is in your photos. The pictures are fantastic and more than I had hoped for. It is so hard to pick my favorite. My husband and I finally had a chance to look through them after Natalie went to bed and each new picture was our favorite. I hate having my picture taken and these are probably the best pictures I have ever had of myself that I really liked. We hope to work with you again in the future. I will be telling all my friends about you!

Alyssa"

Wow, I am so honored to have been invited into your home to document this special moment in your life. Thank you again! I am looking forward to meeting the new addition :-)

I absolutely love the first image! I love everything about it - their expressions... the motion... the bright blue sky... the white fluffy clouds... the bright red playground toy.
