Finding Balance This Summer

Summertime in the Geno house is always a busy time.  I am trying my best this summer to balance the demands of wedding season, while still giving 110%, and taking time to create memories with my family.  I love my job and am so very, very thankful that it has allowed me to work from my home studio and be with my children as they grow.  It is not always the easiest balance to maintain, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Mark & Janeen {Wedding: Part 2}

 After Mark and Janeen's ceremony, we headed to Sutliff for some additional portraits on the Sutliff bridge.  A few miles away, we stopped along a beautiful gravel road.  The sky was a beautiful summer time blue and the fields were a bold green.  Simply beautiful!

How Time Flies!

 It is hard to believe it, but my baby is 5 today.  I mention often in this blog how I'm amazed at how quickly my clients' children are growing, the same rings true for my own.  While I may not wake up each morning and think, "Wow, Gabby has gotten so much bigger since I last saw her, " I often think back to moments when she was younger and it truly hits me that she's not a baby or toddler anymore.  I am so thankful to have so many photographs and portraits of her as she has grown to remind me of just how small she once was.

Teresa {Senior}

 

Recently, I headed out to Teresa's home in the country.  It is a beautiful location and loved photographing there.  I captured her sister's senior portraits a few years ago.  It was fun getting a chance to work with her family again.  The sun was bright and there were no clouds in the sky, but thankfully they have plenty of beautiful shade trees around their property.  Her outfit choices were very vibrant and fun.  I love how her portraits turned out. 

Ben & Jess {Wedding}

On July 7th, I headed to Marion to capture Ben & Jess's big day.  We began the day at First United Methodist with formal photos of Ben with his guys and family.  Then we photographed Jess with her girls and family.  They chose not to see each other before the wedding, so to make things run a little smoother following the ceremony we utilized our time by photographing many of the portraits beforehand.
