Melissa & Chad
















There is one thing about BOYS that hasn't seemed to change since I was in kindergarten or first grade, and that is they all love to tease the girls they like! Anyone else experience this?? ;) Chad definitely loved to tease Melissa. At the beginning of the shoot I told them that there were three things I wanted them to do. They were to play together, flirt and most importantly have fun. They certainly did all three. They were so fun to photograph. There were definite teasing moments and there were very tender moments. They are so real and genuine with each other and in front of the camera. Thank you so much for choosing JR Photography. I look forward and am privileged to shoot your wedding.

Josh, Grace, & Ethan











Saturday was such a beautiful day. The colors were really stunning and it was a great day to be outside. Grace had told me that they enjoy being outdoors. I was really praying for beautiful weather, for the most part we got it but it did sprinkle briefly a few times. Despite the challenges that the weather tried to present we all persevered and had a great time. Grace and Josh are so easy going. Ethan falls right into place. He is the most laid back baby, very mellow and content. He has one of the greatest smiles I have ever seen. It was so fun spending time getting to know them. Thanks again for choosing JR Photography.

Peter, Emily & Zachary










I love learning about the people that I am taking portraits of prior to the photo shoot. I always ask them to tell me a bit about themselves. Emily said that currently in their lives her and Pete love looking at their son. It's so evident that they both fell madly in love with Zachary when he came into the world. It was such a pleasure being with them. There is so much love in this family, a love for life, laughter and an obvious love for one another. You can see it in how they relate, how they look at each other. They were so easy and fun to be with. Thanks again for choosing JR Photography. :)

Scott & Christine















Saturday August 30th, 2008 was a beautiful sunny day. The sky was a vibrant blue and the sun was sparkling on the water, the bride proclaimed over and over throughout the day "I am marrying the man of my dreams." 

It was so fun to share in Scott & Christine's day. Christine glowed, and Scott looked adoringly at her all day. We took a boat out on the water and watched as they proclaimed their love and exchanged vows. It was such a beautiful wedding focused on faith, love, and family. Thank you for sharing your day with us.

Kayla







Yesterday I had the privilege of photographing Kayla. One of the first things she said to me was "I am not photogenique." Well you will have to judge for yourself but I think a photo is worth a thousand words. 

Kayla is full of life. She is sweet and quiet, but if you hang out long enough you get a glimpse of her silly side. It was fun hanging out with her and getting to know her. She has a quiet confidence. Thanks for choosing JR Photography.
