And on the rare occasion when you get to spend…..

a few passing precious days with an even more precious friend and her sweet, sweet babies……all you want to do is STOP. the. TIME.  You want to stop it so that it moves further no more. It’s already moved so fast and so furious. Taking us from our college campus at 19 to mother’s of 33 with two children. In. An. Instant.

So I do. I capture the moment. Their beauty. Because I am blessed with the eye or the heart or the eye within the heart…….to be able to capture slices of little lives. Of old and new lives and loves and God knows what else.

With camera in hand,  I stopped a moment in time.   For 20 minutes on a hot July afternoon in complete chaos.

Her little heavenly babies….who live across the entire world….made me, and my shutter happy heart……..one grateful friend today. Cliche or not, the only way to really take these memories and keep them completely still is to click away. one  photograph at a time.

Or ten.

A million miles away, in Dubai you are. But today, you were with me. And that made me HAPPY.

we love you……sweet Max and Helen.

e.

Because sometimes her physical beauty…..

comes close to what’s in her HEART.

It’s almost as beautiful. And pure.

But not quite as perfect as what shines from her insides.

I love you Lily.

NEW ORLEANS PHOTOGRAPHER | DAN AND KAYDEE NENNINGER

I share with you this morning………The wedding of Kaydee Butler and Dan Nenninger!  The month was April. The city, New Orleans.  What a pleasure it was to document the most important day in the lives of a vibrant, sweet, and fun loving couple. Kaydee and Dan are both, ironically from central Florida in the St. Petersburg area of Tampa and had not known each other growing up. It wasn’t until they both went to college in New Orleans at Loyola University that they met and fell in love.  New Orleans is so near and dear to my heart, for obvious reasons, and was beyond thrilled to have been there to experience yet another love story in the eclectic, historical, and  succulent Crescent City.

Congratulations to you Kaydee and Dan!  Enjoy these images below by clicking on any image. There are so many amazing images and I wasn’t even sure where to start choosing for the blog sneak peek!  Your wedding day, the details, the love, the location…….all so VERY perfect. It was overly obvious to me that both of you have a mutual respect for one another and I feel very lucky to have been the one chosen to record your love and happiness.
