A HILARIOUS FAMILY!

I had such a fun afternoon working with this family.  The whole time they just laughed with each other!  They seemed more like a group of college friends then a family!  It was really special since Freddy, one of the brothers, just got back from Fiji on a 2 year church mission!  (Can you guess which one he is?...look for the island print)  You could tell everyone was just so happy to be together again.  We took all of these in Fred & Robyn's backyard - isn't it beautiful?!

Here's some of my favorites from the session....be prepared that these pictures will make you seriously miss your family!!

I'm going to start you off with my favorite from the session!  I LOVE this shot!

A NIGERIAN WEDDING!

I am so sorry for the lack of posts lately...I've been working on albums so I haven't had a lot of extra time to post!  BUT...this post should make up for it. : )

Here's some of my favorite images from my first Nigerian wedding!  It was so beautiful!!  There were hundreds of guests and they were all wearing traditional Nigerian dress.  I was so inspired by all the colors and and this beautiful couple!

I was shooting with LCA Videomakers for this wedding and those guys are awesome!

I'm going to start off with my favorite image from the day...their beautiful Cadillac made for an amazing prop!
