Capturing the Holidays at the Frankhouser's

Today I had a great time at the Frankhouser residence where I was able to get some lovely shots of the little ones.  The pictures are just in time to celebrate the holidays.  

Katlyn is just a tiny thing at 15 pounds and not yet over four months, but she's still growing!   She is such a happy little girl who seemed to love the camera.  Miss photogenic of the year?  Could be a possibility!

Tyler had so much energy!  "Merry Christmas", he cried out before each picture.  He wanted to dance so much, but we had to ask him to sit pretty for the camera.  Tyler did a great job! 

Tyler was fascinated with anything he could get his hands on.  Here I interrupted him when he was examining a ceramic Christmas toy.  Sorry about that Tyler! 

Tyler discovered the light Santa was holding.  He wanted to help Santa with the light, but it turned out that Santa wasn't going to let go of that candle!

We moved as quickly as we could to get through the photos and the different outfits.  It took almost an hour and a half to finish, but the kids were still staying focused enough to get a few more shots in.  Tyler and the "Baby", as he likes to call his little sister, got to relax after all the fun pictures were taken.

Megan & Jim

Recently, I had the opportunity to spend a day with Megan and Jim.  The couple are engaged and planning an awesomely big wedding: Mafia style.  The two are fun, compassionate and hard working.  They are wonderful for each other.

We had a blast roaming Morgantown to find scenic spots like this to celebrate their engagement.  We found great photo opportunities around every corner in historic downtown Morgantown.   

Megan and Jim's wedding will be complete with money roses and groomsmen decked out in 1950s zoot suits, so of course, they wanted some great old-fashioned photographs to go along with the theme.   

Megan says she isn't one for "floofy" stuff, but a little garden with pink flowers caught her attention.  I captured several wonderful shots of she and Jim with these lovely blooms.

Check out that ring!  A nice flower vendor on High street gave the happy couple a few flowers to use in their photos.  We took advantage of the flowers to show off the shine in that stunning diamond!

Jim is a skilled woodsman and hunter, but he is a true gentleman here as he places a little flower in Megan's hair. 

Isn't that guy lucky?  Megan flashes him a beautiful smile. 

Originally, Megan was bummed to find her favorite Morgantown icon, Woodburn Hall to be under construction, but we didn't give up!  This shot will be a classic in their photo collection. 

The old iron bridge was a wonderful location for unique and picturesqe photos.  There is no doubt that Megan knew what she was doing when our locations were planned.  

After a long and cold day of photo taking, even this energetic couple could get a little tired.  The trip was well worth it with over 500 photos for the two to choose from.  I can't wait to see their wedding.  I know for sure that it will be one to remember!
