I am so thankful that I was asked to take a few “getting ready” photos for my niece on her wedding day. SO THANKFUL, because, I ended up sick and sadly missed the entire wedding. I never saw her in her wedding gown 
I love their LOVE STORY! You see, I’ve known the groom since he was in elementary school. In fact to go back further, I went to school with his Aunt. SC really is a small town, except for when it came to these two meeting each other. It wasn’t until recently that they met, fell in love and tied the knot! Ryan, welcome to the family!
Me getting sick is the absolute perfect reason as to why you should never hire a wedding photographer that does not have a second or even third shooter with them! I felt fine in the morning, but by the beginning of the ceremony, well, I won’t go into details…… It is also the absolute perfect reason that I do not shoot weddings, too much pressure!
Anyways, I loved taking a few “getting ready” shots at the house before the left to the venue and met up with the “hired” photographer. You can see some of her photos here: whatshannisaw
Here’s a few of Ally getting ready:
This blog post is a bit late, as these little guys came to my MiniStudio nearly two weeks ago. Life got busy, along with me being out of town, but I’m back and will have your session finished very soon now!
If you look up “busy” in the dictionary I believe you will see 2 year old Evan’s picture right next to the definition! He had no time to sit for photos, there was way to much to see and do! We were lucky to capture a few calm moments and even got a little eye contact! Baby brother on the other hand, was as calm and peaceful as you’d hope for!
Here’s a little preview of the M Brothers:
And, in case you’re wondering, we didn’t even attempt to get any of the two of them together… Big Brother is still settling into the idea that Little Ryan is here to stay! I have no doubt that in no time they will be best of buddies (double trouble) but in the meantime, it’s hands off for Evan!

Yo Gabba Gabba + Trucks + Texas A&M + Candy = Santiago’s favorite things! Sounds just about perfect for a two year old and even more perfect if you knew Santiago! Two year old sessions are so much fun (if you can keep up with them)! They have just enough patience to sit still for one or two shots and then it’s time to move on. That’s where the truck, the candy and “the silly’s” really helped, allowing us just a couple more minutes before we were off to discover something new!
To Grandma Robin and Santiago’s Mom, thank you for being persistent in finally getting this session scheduled! It was great seeing you both and I look forward to many more! I hope you enjoy your little sneak peak and I will be in touch as soon as I finish the rest.

It’s a small world after all……..as soon as Mr. & Mrs. C. arrive for their newborn session, Dad, say’s, “I’ve been here before.” It was one of those, I know you, but …….moments. Turns out, Dad owns a local furniture store and has actually made a delivery to my home. I love that Santa Cruz still has that small town feel to it!
After a bit of chit chat, we get down to business and their sweet son was just as good as can be!
Here’s a little sneak peak from their session!
