Baby Gray is on the Way!!

Kinsey, Jake, myself and Baby Gray had a wonderful time taking maternity pictures. Here are just a few from the shoot! I am seriously SO SO SO SO excited to meet my nephew.  We only have 57 more days til he is due! We are accustomed to girls, so we are just beyond thrilled to have this little man join the crew:)

I know one thing for certain... he will be so loved. 

Dear Sweet Baby Gray,

Auntie Kamille and Auntie Katie have big plans for you buddy!

Kamille is going to make sure you are the most fashionable kid around and I am going to take millions and millions of pictures of you being the most fashionable kid around.  Uncle Kyle and Uncle Brennon are going to play baseball with you and your daddy while I take millions and millions of pictures of you playing baseball!

I can't wait for trips to the zoo, redbirds games, beach trips and more! I can't wait to see what Duke thinks of you :) 

I can't wait to get the phone call that you are about to make your debut! What fun times we have ahead. You are one lucky kiddo to have such amazing parents! 

See you soon buddy! Love your Aunt Katie

always,

Congrats to the beautiful couple! I also want to give a BIG, HUGE thank you to Kelly Ginn for being my right-hand gal for this wedding! She is amazing and you need to check out her blog and her growing photography business! 

Here is just a little sneak into the great day we had with Katie and John!

Mr.&Mrs. Stluka

What an amazing wedding! We arrived on Friday and I was able to soak up a few rays before the rehearsal dinner! It was a gorgeous day for the beach.  The rehearsal went off without a hitch and we headed back to the Beach Club for dinner! Adam and Lacey are two of the most loved people in the world. Their friends and family had so many amazing things to say about them it brought me to tears several times!  

I went back to my condo and prepped for wedding day. Batteries charged, memory cards dumped and formatted, bags packed, and my RAIN COAT! I woke up Saturday morning with what I like to call "Perfect photo Lighting."  It was overcast and if things stayed as is... we could shoot anywhere!  I had plan A and I always have a plan B in case of rain. Boy did it rain, and it rained and rained and rained.  Plan B was no longer an option so I went to the front desk and begged them to find me a large room or outdoor covered area! The staff was amazing and they led me to a perfect semi covered outdoor space so we could still use wonderful natural light! Can I just add that any other bride would have been a nightmare, but not Lacey! Lacey never lost focus on what this day was truly about, she trusted me and made my job SOOOOO much easier! (Thank You!)  The wedding party was also incredibly flexible and just a joy to work with! Thank you to each of them for all the cooperation.  I am so pleased with how the images are turning out, and I hope you enjoy them too! I can't tell you how I love when a bride and groom become my friends as well.  These two I am LUCKY to call friends! Love you both!

On the Road...

I am headed to Gulf Shores, AL today to photograph a wedding and I am so excited!

Lacey and Adam are perfect together and they are loved by so many.  They are both missionaries and Lacey is co-founder of BE FREE! Be sure to check out the great work they are doing! 

Here are a few shots from the engagement session. Did I mention how perfect they are for each other?

I can't wait to share images from the special weekend! Hope you enjoy!

McCallan and Gang...

Momma Cara was my lil sis in our college sorority and now she has this lil cutie of her own! She turned one in February, but we took her "birthday" pics this past weekend! We had the best time running around take pics, but the best are the cake ones! Stay tuned for those... they are worth it! Love this lil girl and her parents aren't too bad either! Here is a lil teaser of our Birthday Session with McCallan!

Always,

Tying the Knot!

I do not even know where to begin... 

Our engagement party was nothing less than perfect! My sisters, Kinsey (Matron of Honor) and Kamille (Maid of Honor), along with their men and my wonderful parents put together a party where all the little details made it WONDERFULLY special!

It was held outside at Kinsey and Jake's house.  We could not have asked for better weather for an outdoor gathering.  My mother's cookin is like none other and she did not disappoint this time either! 

We were surrounded with friends and family and we felt so loved.  We can not say THANK YOU enough to everyone who celebrated with us and especially to our families!  Here are a few pictures from the event... they don't really do it justice:)
