Can you figure out why little guy might be excited?

Maybe it is because it's "Love your red hair day."

Or maybe it's because today marks 50 days until Christmas. Yay!!!

I seriously don't think  this family could be any cuter if they tried.

I call this a not-so-sneak preview because I've already delivered the images to the family, but I had yet to share any here.

I can't believe how much this little girl has grown up.

Assembling four families from two different cities for a session is no small feat. When all the schedules had been ironed out, it was revealed that we had one window of opportunity that was only a few hours.  As I watched the weather predictions all week  I began to worry. The forecast was not good, ninety to ninety-five percent chance of not only rain, but thunderstorms.  And still, we had one day to pull this off.

Plans were made, and back up plans were made. Then, just as we all assembled the rain came to an end, and everything was perfect.

The girls still danced around with their umbrellas.

Even though it was chilly these guys were such good sports.

Thanks Emily and Jim. Your wedding was so much fun!

This image is from Emily and Jim's first look and even though the day was a bit cold and windy, these two didn't seem notice. (I also have to admit the wind gave us a nice little of drama.)

| Sneak Preview | Vanessa + Greg | Wedding |

Yesterday, I had the honor of photographing this wonderful couple on their wedding day.  They had planned an evening ceremony at McConnell Springs, a nature sanctuary hidden away within one of Lexington's industrial neighborhoods.  Greg and Vanessa kindly met me there early so we could do photos before the evening festivities.  Here are just a few of my favorites.

I had such a hard time choosing which photo should be the next preview from Emily and Jim's session. For now I've settled on this sweet image, but I reserve the right to change my mind so you may see more of this couple later.

Several years ago this lovely couple went on one of their first dates strawberry picking. Little did they know where it would lead.  In a few months Emily and Jim will be tying the knot, but today they just had fun reliving that special date from the past.

My favorite thing about fall is that for one moment every leaf is special.

Happy Birthday Ruby!

Meet Ruby.  Today is a very special day for her, because today is her birthday.  In fact it is her first birthday.

And what's a birthday without a party hat and balloons?

And Cake! You can't  forget the cake.

Happy Birthday Ruby.  It's been so much fun watching you grow in the last year. I wish you the happiest of first birthdays.
