NewBorn: Lucas

Posted on by ntuggle

Happy New Year!!  I’m only a few weeks late…with the way things have been that is an improvement!  I’ve promised on Facebook to give you an update on some changes happening in my life and career, but that shall have to wait its turn as I am months behind on photography posts!  I’ve got some beautiful stuff to come, and to celebrate the brand new year, here is an adorable new born shoot.

Lucas was born September 2014, and I got to meet him not too many days after.  I had done a maternity shoot with Evelyn not even a month before, so I was very excited to meet the little guy.  He was probably the most laid back baby model I have ever had the pleasure of photographing.

Mom and dad are so sweet doting on their precious bundle of joy.

Maternity: Evelyn and Brett

Posted on by ntuggle

I am so very happy for my friends Evelyn and Brett!  They are expecting their first child any day now.  This is going to be one luck little baby boy having such sweet (and gorgeous) parents.

We started off the session inside for some lovely homey portraits.  The evening lighting coming in the windows really made it feel cozy.

Bridal: Nozomi

Posted on by ntuggle

The day was gorgeous while I waited outside at the Shops at Legacy for Nozomi to arrive for her bridal portraits.  When she arrived and stepped out of the car in front of the Marriott, I couldn’t helped but be dazzled!  Such a beautiful bride!

The Shops provided a fabulously chic settings which fit her perfectly.  We started inside the Marriott and then worked our way around the lake and Bishop Road, nothing but gorgeousness and sunshine the whole way.

2014-03-20_0005 2014-03-20_0006Loved this shoot so much!  Special thanks to Nozomi and her family for the fantastic dinner they invited me to afterwords!  Totally would not mind at all if every shoot ended with calamari.

Fashion: Catherine and Some Fabulous Jewelry

Posted on by ntuggle

I so love pretty things, so I was very excited to welcome my friend Catherine and the jewelry she sales into my home for a photo shoot.  She is a representative for a company called Stella Dot, and I think I’m in love with these pieces.  Many of these are new for spring, so if you are looking for something bright and fabulous, I know just who to set you up with.  Just check out this sample of gorgeousness!!

Catherine is a MASTER at putting pieces together, and I think this bracelet combo below is my favorite.  The color is just so fantastic and that arrow bracelet *sigh* just so perfect.

Fashion: Amanda

Posted on by ntuggle

It is a rare and fabulous opportunity that I do studio photography.  I learned how to shoot in a studio first before moving to outdoor and I forgot how much I love it!

Meet Amanda! She is an aspiring model who definitely has what it takes.  Originally, we were going to do this shoot outside, but the weather was wet and really cold.  As it turned out, I think we couldn’t have been luckier!

This cute pooch was a little nervous to be included at first, but Amanda made him feel right at home.2014-01-08_0001 2014-01-08_0008

Presenting the Fancy New Disk Case Exclusively for Brides

Posted on by ntuggle

 

I scrolled through pages and pages of CD cases looking for that perfect case to encase the loveliness that is the brides wedding photos.  It took a while because I had some critiera I wanted to meet: could not be cheap or plastic and had to have an elegant crafty feel.

Ashley from PeachLinen had the perfect choice for me!  I love her simple elegant style, and the quick way she can modify a product for her costumers.

Allow me to present the brand new CD case to hold your wedding photos

Weddings: Carri and Caleb

Posted on by ntuggle

I am in LOVE with this wedding!  Everything was done so beautifully; it was thrilling.  Carri has a real eye for style, and it shown brightly on her big day.  From the soft pinks of the florals, to fantastically fitted green bride’s maids dresses, and to the trendy diy wooden signs, everything flowed to perfection.

It was hard to believe the day had finally arrived!  I was honored to do their engagement photos just months before, and now the day had come.  Everyone was so ecstatic!  Even as the bride entered her bridal sweet, some of her relatives, the flower girls, and her brides maids were greeting her with excited well wishes and hugs.

The ceremony and reception took place at the gorgeous Ashton Gardens on a bright Saturday morning in July.

Event: Masquerade Ball Birthday Party

Posted on by ntuggle

Men take notes: How do you make a woman feel good about turning another year older?  Maybe even make her happy about it while also showing her just how special she is?  You throw her a ball of course!!

That’s exactly what Faith’s husband, Luke, did.  And it wasn’t just any ball, it was a masquerade.  A surprise masquerade to be precise.  Oh, the awesomeness!  It’s been a while since I’ve seen, let alone photographed a truly formal event (the gorgeousness of weddings does not count), and never before with something as cool as masks!
