Corley Piper & Sarah Ruedger Engagement session

I cannot believe I forgot to make a post here again! Sheesh, Angela! Catch up!

In July, I had a wonderful time on a beautiful day taking pictures of my best friend and her soon to be husband. This coming October, I will stand beside my girl as she marries the man that she loves. Here are a few favorites from the session.
We had a blast taking pictures at a zoo that the two love to frequent and it really made for a special and unique set of pictures as opposed to my usual shooting locations!

Thrush-Jessup Family Pictures

Just over seven months ago, the absolute greatest thing in the world happened to me; I became an aunt. This wonderful, sweet, giggly little stubborn butt girl has filled my heart with solid joy from the night she was born.

Now, she's seven months old, getting closer and closer to crawling every day and bringing sheer joy to everyone in her life just by existing.

Yesterday, I spent a couple of beautiful summer hours taking pictures of her and her parents. This was a two-part shoot, because when we tried at the six month mark, little miss Annabelle was being quite the grumpypants. Yesterday was a different story.

Enjoy!

Welcoming Annabelle Kay Jessup

Boy, am I falling behind on this blog! I get so used to posting pictures to the Facebook page that I tend to neglect this blog a lot!

On December 4th, my dear niece made her entrance into the world. Just a couple of weeks later, I had the absolute blast of getting to take her first pictures. I'll let this little beauty speak for herself because truth be told, there are not enough words in the world to express just how amazing this little sweetie is. I sure do love you, Annabelle Kay. ~Aunt Ang~

My Cousin & her family

Just down the street from my house, there is a man in my small town who enjoys offering us something beautiful. Every few years, he grows Sunflowers in the field he owns and it makes for a gorgeous view on the drive through town.

On a gorgeous summer day when these flowers were in full bloom, I spent the day with my cousin Jessica and her family, snapping pictures and enjoying my time with she and her boyfriend Matt's two beautiful daughters, Zoe & Kairi. I love this extension of my family so much and these little girls never cease to make me smile.

I hope you all enjoy looking at these as much as I enjoyed taking them!
