Jake + Sierra

On Saturday Jake & Sierra were married at a sweet little lodge outside of town. The bride was gorgeous, the groom extra dapper, and the dance party of a reception was, well, completely off the chain. Here's a peak of the beautifulness that was...

Yesterday Colton and I flew to Florida where we plan on relaxing, sleeping, and soaking up as much sun as possible before tomorrow's wedding. ...It's just a little something I like to call a pretty incredible Monday.

Daniel & Ashley

There are the road trips, the camping, the exploring new places for their dogs to run, and the long afternoon drives with no destination in mind. When asked what Daniel and Ashley's favorite things to do were, it didn't take long to see that the couple's love for wide open spaces was rivaled only by their love and admiration for family and friends. But it was what Ashley wrote in an email that really caused me to stop and catch my breath, making me realize just what a beautiful couple I was working with. "We both go to work every day with the motivation that some day we will have our own ranch where our dogs, horses, cattle (and us) can run free".

...And just like that, one of my favorite engagement sessions to date was born.

Daniel and Ashley, I feel so blessed to be the one that gets to document your wedding day. Thank you for trusting me with your pictures. And thank you for introducing me to your dogs. And your horses. And your lives.

I'm kind of in love with them all.

Meet Trey and Axle, the best looking farm dogs I ever did see.

This is Beau. While a little shy at first, after realizing this was his free pass to stardom he really did rise to the occasion.

A little family portrait...

...and a quick outfit change.

At the end of the session we ran over to a neighbor's - who also happens to be the best dentist in town (Hi Dr. Keener!) - and borrowed his fabulous red barn. And right before my eyes this already perfect engagement session got a little bit sweeter.

Happy Weekend, Michelle

A New Website!!

Eeeeeek!!!!! Oh Internet World, today is a good day! The brand new Michelle Cross Photography website just launched and I could not be anymore thrilled. If you've yet to notice, this excitement can be seen via the excessive! use! of! exclamation! points!!!!!

I highly recommend you stop what you're doing and swing by the site. And if you're up for it please do let me know how everything works. This beauty has been a long time coming (since June, actually, immediately after launching this blog) and it involved a great deal of blood, sweat and, well, crying.

I won't give too much away but I will leave you with a little eye candy to send you on your way. Happy Wednesday and HAPPY NEW WEBSITE DAY!!!!

Michelle
