No, not senior citizen.
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Lianna and her family since my distant days of nerddom, so you can imagine my excitement after being asked to capture her life in this moment. Lianna is gladly entering her final year of highschool and starting to toss around those easy decisions like college, and what she wants to do with the rest.of.her.time.on.earth. Yeah, the boring stuff.
Li recently returned from an incredible trip to the Dominican Republic where she and a group of students volunteered their time to an orphanage. Her face lit up as she recalled people and stories, and it became obvious this was only the beginning for her.
As the photos reveal, Lianna is breathtakingly beautiful… AND a blast. Marcus and I had such a great time working with her, lost keys and all. I am blessed to know this young woman, and am thrilled to see what’s in store for her future.
We love you, L!



Right? Like, gag me. Too gorgeous.




Superwomanesque





Lianna also happens to be a tennis superstar, so we HAD to grab some shots with her other appendage.





Exhibit A: NECTARINE – Commonly mistaken for a peach… MY BAD!!

XOXO!!
I’m so thankful to call this stunning blue-eyed pair, friends. Carolynn is superbly organized, thoughtful, and charming. And when standing beside her handsome piece of British man, she smirks, she giggles, she loves. Stafford is a genius with a gentle heart and welcoming smile. They balance one another in the ways that matter, and together, they are happy.
Shelby and Austin are not normal. No, really. They’re so well-behaved and mature, I sometimes forget who I’m speaking with! Shelbs is super involved with her sports and cheerleading, and Austin will terminate any opponent in the virtual world. I love this family because they love each other, so thank you all for a wonderful day and the lasting memories we’ve created.
Enjoy! xoxo


The fam just moved into their new fabulous home. We spent the evening roaming the house, yard, and neighbors’ to find meaningful spots.

How gorgeous are these blondes!?



If I were as cool as Austin, I’d have a dirt bike too. Evidently, I’m not cool.

Vinny is the graceful horse-dog always seeking Stafford’s attention.


Really, though? How are you two so cute?



My favorite. Look at the way she loves him. Beautiful.




We needed to break for “Digestive Cookies”. Totally necessary.




Love you!
A girl, madly in love with her best friend, gleamed uncontrollably for days. A boy, changed by her spirit, proudly committed to loving and caring for this girl as her husband. Katie and Matt are inwardly stunning. Their love transcends moods, circumstances, and self interests – with an ease that tells the world, I cherish this person, wholeheartedly.
Katie and Matt are dear friends of ours, and precious individuals who will strive as one. Mackinac Island set the stage for their dreamlike wedding, and we were so blessed to spend the weekend with such a warm family and fun friends.
K+M: Thank you for everything. We love, love, LOVE you to pieces and are thrilled to be part of your future. Can’t wait to have you here in NY!!

Baffled that this place existed, we left our car at the port to float 15 minutes by ferrie. We arrived on the island, seeing bicycles and horse carriages… Only. Awesome!

Rehearsal dinner. How cute is Em’s dress? And how radiant was the bride-to-be? Come on.

High school sweethearts.

The fabulous Sprinkles.


The wedding day begins.

Family effort in a minor dress crisis.

Work it, mama!

Our handsome groom with the Cadillac of cruisers.

Groomsman getting ready.






He was a definite attention grabber.

Guests piled in for brunch following the morning ceremony.

Katie and Matt seized the opportunity to get some reading in.

She gets a 10 for this.




XOXO!
