Lee Family Joy Session

Umm, can you say “baby?” Christina and Briant were looking to capture their seven-month-old daughter, Megan, before she grew even more than she has in the past few months! Although my jokes, crass humor, and typical knee-slappin’ jokes didn’t seem to phase Megan, toys, funny faces and noises seemed to do the job just fine. Heck, I even laughed, too! I was glad I brought my running shoes and had a solid breakfast, photographing toddlers is no walk in the park! However, some of the pictures that came out of the session were absolutely priceless and I was glad to catch them for my cousins Christina and Briant. Here are some of the shots from this happy family joy session! And welcome to the family, little Nut-meg! :-) (P.S., was being called Uncle Randy the whole time. WEIRD!! In a good way. :-) )

Amanda + Phil’s Wedding

Say Cheese! Literally. This heart-string-tugging wedding was held at Villa Terra Art Museum overlooking Lake Michigan, in the beautiful state of Wisconsin. Though notorious for chilly weather, it was a beautiful California-esque at a comfortable 70 degrees! Every bride’s dream come true (at least for those having an outdoor wedding!) Although I wasn’t a designated photographer (main photography done by the talented Matt Mason) I was fortunate enough to get some good shots as an attendee :-)

Amanda, being my only girl cousin on our Japanese side, looked absolutely stunning. What a change from her pj’s, rugby wear, and t-shirts! Since she’s my cousin I get to say things like that :-) It was such a heartfelt wedding—seeing her marry off to Phil, one of the most genuine people I have ever met, left me with nothing but confidence and happiness for their marriage and their life together.

I don’t know how dads do it—I almost felt as if I was letting go of Amanda, too. Our whole family, even, felt like we were giving away our only daughter. Through the tears there were smiles, and I couldn’t be more happier for Phil and Amanda. Thank you for having us, congratulations, and we love you Amanders!
