this blog post is a little longer than most, i had such a hard time narrowing down the photos of this beautiful couple! jullie and eugene are expecting their little bundle in may. we had rescheduled our session in hopes of better weather, and we definitely got our wish with a 95 degree day! jullie was such a trooper, isn't she just glowing?! i am so looking forward to meeting their newest addition next month!
this year i challenged myself to take a photo of our personal life every single day. from a professional standpoint, i thought it would help me strengthen my photography skills by ensuring i absolutely always had my camera within arm's reach. from a personal standpoint, i thought it was a great opportunity to document our daughter's first year (somewhat obsessively)! so that's what this project has essentially turned into, a glimpse into our lives as new parents to a very feisty and lovable little girl! these are some of my favorites from the first three months, to follow my project 365 on a daily basis check me out on Facebook!
with just under three weeks to go before baby cowan is due to arrive, i wanted to take the opportunity to post a personal blog entry and document her recently completed nursery. this is the calmest we will ever see it, i am sure! aaron and i can't wait to meet our baby girl and to create many new memories in her new home :)
a few weeks ago i had the opportunity to photograph the beautiful ditter family. the coolest part of this shoot was that the ditters were keeping it as a surprise gift for dad mike leading up to father's day :) the love between this family is immediately evident and we had a great time! thanks for letting me hang out with you guys for the afternoon - hope that mike and all the dads out there had a wonderful father's day!
at the end of april, my entire family travelled to poland for my cousin's wedding. if you've never been to a true polish wedding, i would recommend attending at least one in your lifetime, somehow or some way :) monika and zbyszek were married on saturday april 28th. the festivities lasted into the early hours of the morning with food, drinks and music all night long. the next day, we all partook in "poprawiny", which, literally translated, means "do-over" or "fix". the tradition is just that, a do-over where the bride and groom, family and other guests all meet in the afternoon for a round two celebration lasting into the evening. though it wasn't an official shoot, the photos here are a selection from both days. of all my trips to poland, this was by far one whose memories i will carry in my heart for many years to come. congratulations monika and zbyszek!
