Sutton Family

"Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."


My sister is amazing.  I wouldn't be lying to say that she beautifully exemplifies the woman who fears the Lord, described in the 31st Proverb. 

Those of you I have photographed know Diana as my assistant- always willing to hold your sunglasses, carry my 10 bags, jump around to make kiddo smile and even hold a leash or two during our more adventurous shoots. 

She is a HUGE blessing to me, volunteering her time to me in so many ways.  She also happens to have married a pretty cool dude.  So cool in fact that he lets me borrow my sister most weekends in fall without complaint!  :)


Friends, I introduce you to two beautiful people,
Diana and Paul Sutton



Told you! Beautiful!

When I reread Proverb 31 before writing this post I laughed at this verse:

She dresses herself with strength
and makes her arms strong.

So appropriate! Especially since Diana is not only a sharp dresser but she's also my workout partner!

But I digress :).  Onto the show!  Here are my favorites from my time with the Sutton's

 

 

 

To close the shoot we attempted a few snow shots- it was hilarious.

 

Good times!  Thank you, Diana, for your help Ruthie B Photography! 
I can't wait to meet my little girl and give her your "Beatriz" as a middle name!

Love you both!

Russo Family

 

It has been such a TREAT for me to spend time with both new and old friends during this year's fall shoots.  What a blessing it is for me to get to know each of you- creating and capturing what I hope are FUN memories for you and your family.

 

We have had SO MUCH FUN, in fact, I'm seriously behind in showing you my favorites!  SO this FUN FRIDAY I hope to blog 2 and maybe even 3 families!

 

The first FUN pair are two insanely fun friends, the Newlywed RUSSO'S.

 

Everyone, say hello to the beautiful Danielle and her dapper hubby, Darren!

 

Just beautiful people right?  Beautiful both inside and out.

 The Russo's are Ruthie B Adoption HEROS- booking tons of shoots and even gifting a session to another family! If you missed Danielle gorgeous bridal portraits or their engagement session you'll want to go take a look!  The Russo's are great friends and it's been a pleasure to watch their love story unfold!

Ok- lots to blog!  Onto a handful of my favorites!

 

 

 

 

 I have some great Christmas Card ones for these two as well... but you'll have to tune in later for that reveal!

Thanks again Russo's for your love, prayers and unshaken support of our efforts to bring our baby girl home.  We love you!

Friday Favorite

 

I love assignments!

 

It's silly, I know. 

 

I just love having something I'm assigned to do that has a due date. 

So to that end I've decided to assign myself a weekly "Friday Favorite" post.

 

Each week I will show you one of my favorite images from a recent shoot or some other fun project I'm working on.  I hope it makes you smile!

 

 

And who would be more perfect to kick-off our first 

Friday Favorite 

than 3 of my FAVORITE one-year old ladies!

 

 

 

Happy Friday, everyone!
