Tonight I met the lovely Hazel and her sweet fiance Justin. They are so in love, and I am lucky enough to be the photographer they have hired for not only their engagements, but for their wedding as well! I am so excited!

Without further ado...

Rosi and Roy

I have known Rosi's sister for a while now, and have had the privilege of photographing her family three times. So, when Rebecca emailed me and told me her little sister was getting married and wanted ME (I'm totally blushing) to photograph this MOMENTOUS occasion, I said, "YES! YES! WOOHOO!" (I might have played it cooler than that). So, Rosi and I emailed back and forth, and then spoke on the phone a few times, and then tonight we finally met in person, and I had the immense pleasure of seeing such a lovely person with the sweet boy she is marrying in May.

It was such a laid back, fun little engagement session, and I just couldn't wait to post some pictures. So, without further ado, here is a sneak peek at a couple of cutie-pies in love.

The Blair Family

I have had the privilege to know April for a long time. We grew up in the same town in California, and attended the same church. She is a kind, and wonderful person, and she has married a truly generous and caring man. The two of them adopted these two children from Ethiopia just a few short months ago, and I was able to photograph them together (at last!) as a family. April and Nate volunteered their time to help my family with our Bake Sale fundraiser, and I couldn't be more grateful to them.

In fact, April and I had many conversations through email (I cherish those letters of encouragement) when I was struggling with my own decision to adopt, and if it was right for our family. She helped me to see the need in Ethiopia, and my heart was turned forever. I am eternally grateful to her for that.

So, without further ado, I present the Blair family...

They have been waiting a long time to be a forever family. CONGRATULATIONS, you guys!

With Love,
Susan

Blair Family Sneak Peek

Okay, so I couldn't wait to post some pictures of my friends the Blairs. They are such a sweet couple, and aren't their children two of THE MOST GORGEOUS children on the planet?! These two were adopted from Ethiopia, and I think they are amazing. AMAZING.

I can't wait to be united with our son in Ethiopia! I can't wait to see his face for the first time. Looking at the pictures of these two makes me so happy.

Be sure to stay posted! More pictures of this sweet family are coming soon!

With Love,
Susan

The Lovely Kelly

I recently had the opportunity to meet a very kind and beautiful (inside and out!) lady named Kelly. She hired me to take some portraits of herself, and some of her sweet pooch Lucy. I just have to say how OBSESSED I am with English bulldogs. I think they are the funniest, cutest dogs out there! This dog is such a sweet little thing, and I had a lot of fun spending time with the two of them! It was such a pleasure to get to know Kelly a little bit during our sessions. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I do! Isn't it unfair how GORGEOUS some people are?! I think she is stunning.
