What a gorgeous evening we had last Friday when I was able to meet up with this awesome couple! I just love when Abby laughs at Adam and I had so many pictures of her laughing, it was hard to choose which ones to post. You can just almost hear her silent laugh in these pictures. These two had their first date a couple years ago at Swan Creek so we revisited the park right when the sun was just headed over the horizon and this made for some beautiful pictures. To you both: I am looking forward to next year and a gorgeous outside wedding!












These two tied the knot a couple weeks ago at Wildwood in the heat of the day. Jaime was my most RELAXED bride I have ever photographed-wow, it was so awesome . Let’ s just say 20 minutes before the ceremony it poured rain for a good 10 minutes and Jaime didn’t freak out. In fact, it didn’t even seem that she noticed. It wouldn’t have mattered anyways because the sun came out and dried it all up before the ceremony. That will definitely be something years from now when they look back and say, remember when? And smile. And laugh. And remember the love they still have because that’s what matters in the end. Not if it rained or if it shined bright skies. It’s all about the love that they share and will continue to share. You two are a beautiful couple (my country couple) and I wish you many, many blessings on your journey together.
















I have always had this name association ‘problem’ where when I first meet someone I immediately think there name should be _______. It could be something as simple as this person’s smile belongs with this person’s name and I fill in the blank (mentally of course) Then after meeting them and finding out this person’s real name, I struggle occasionally and let the name that I mentally picked out for this person slip. If that’s ever happened to you from me-please forgive me, I’m working on it! Though for this little girl, I spotted her over a year ago at church when she was just 6 months old or so. One look at this sweet, lovable face and the name association was easy: Grace. She is every bit the name. Sweet, sweet Grace! I had a great time photographing her and Jana and Grant- You guys are an awesome family and I am so honored that you chose JEM to take your family pics.
I have to write in here that Wildwood is the place to go if you want your flesh to get eaten ALIVE!
