My favorite post ever....


Jayne & Jim
You totally got it… typically I have to teach my clients how to be natural in front of the camera. Your images are so real and that’s why I love them so-so much.


Jayne and Jim dated in high school-broke up & came back together over 40 years later.
Both are battling cancer and wanted to have a very special photo session taken. I told Jayne to sit down and think about everything they truly enjoy and maybe something they had always wanted to do. Well when I arrived at their home she was totally prepared with her list…..



1st on the list: Years ago Jim had seen a picture of a man in an empty stadium and had always thought that would be a neat photograph.

The Park...



Love this one: They are known for baking wonderful tasty pies=)


Another special thing on the list: spending time with their grandson



Jim was so kind to share his pie crust recipe with me so I’m going to share with you guys….



Pie Crust
2 cups flour
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter
1 large egg yoke
¼ cup of ice water
Refrig 1 hour


Note: I have never ever made my hubby a pie so I'm going to give it a try. I don't think it will look anything like this one;)



I hope these images show the joy and happiness in your lives. I feel so blessed that you came to me….it’s a session I will not soon forget. ~Tracy

P.S. I just had to put together a little surprize for you and Jim...Enjoy!!!

Amanda + Jason





Amanda and Jason are just two of the most genuine people you will ever meet. Over the last year Amanda and I have become friends. After a million emails we have truly shared our lives with one another. This wedding was extra special for me. It was held at the beautiful Beechwood Farm. It was like something out of a movie...it was the perfect backdrop for their ceremony and a gorgeous setting for the reception. Mad props to Jason for awesome landscaping!!!



Ok I could go on and on all night but lets get to the best part....


The stunning bride





Jason and Krista






There was not a dry eye (including us) when Jason gave Krista a ring and read her the beautiful vows he had written for her. This was very emotional and so touching. This beautiful image was captured by assistant photographer/friend...Misty Fisher


Love this one!








Jason's son...

Cake: Taste of Elegance
Amanda's sister and mom are very special to her so I had to include them in this post...

More Sun Flair....


Gretchen + Jeff

Gretchen emailed me a few weeks ago wanting to set up her and Jeff's e-session and she was telling me about this nice spot in Oakwood- she said "it is a garden that I used to go to when I was little". Well heck that's my secret garden!!! At least that's what I tell everyone;) I had a wedding there a few years ago and absolutely feel in LOVE. The fact that she had went there since she was a child was pretty cool.
.

If I were giving out awards Gretchen would take take Best Smile hands down...
killer sun-flair!
simply gorgeous...

Love this one...

Guys we are looking forward to July 21st!
