a Wilcox Easter!

I loved everything about this photo session. Not only did I get to see an old, dear friend- but I finally was able to spend a little time with her adorable children! Kambriah is just what I would have expected. So incredibly darling with a kick of spice! She is such a diva! Xaihden's eyes were mesmerizing & I can't wait to see what a heartbreaker he will be! It was an afternoon overflowing with laughter, tears, puppies, & twirling. Heath, once again, blew me away with his kid skills! All in all, Rebecca will be able to remember this Easter season & those irreplaceable memories forever! Enjoy!

Emma + Hannah

Emma & Hannah. Hemma if you will, ;) There is not much I can say, I mean look at them! As radiant as they are the fragrance they carry with them in nothing short of inspiring. Excitable… hopeful… these girls are at their ripest point & are on the launch pad to the rest of their lives.  Best friends, present day graduates of 2011, & sisters for life- Emma + Hannah have what it takes to pass the test of time.  

We had so much fun on this shoot. We actually went over our time because it was hard to stop shooting! They are both so different in appearance but hold the same allure for the camera. I would pay to have clients like this every appointment! Whether you enjoy the photos or not- we've enjoyed creating them! ;) ENJOY!

Beckoning : Bridgette

Bridgette. Bridgette. Bridgette.

Where to begin? I could take this onto a million different directions. 

I could start out telling you how beautiful she is, but you see that.

  I could start by giving you a run down of our hilarious yet genuine friendship, but you've probably assumed that. 

 I could start by describing how she is my grandest cheerleader & has pushed me to believe in myself,

but that will probably get a little soggy.

Regardless of my ramblings, Bridgette is one of those people- that you simply don't know where to begin.

(Those are the best kind!)

Before I start detailing this shoot out I want to let you guys know how talented this girl is. 

I have a fear. That fear is going to the salon! I've never, ever had an expected experience. 

I've had a trim turn into 7 inches, a side bang suddenly morph into a 1 inch second grade picture, & 5 updos I had to REDO.  Honestly, I had lost complete hope with professional hair care! Until now!

If I didn't believe what I am about to tell you- I wouldn't bother in saying this.

This girl truly is a gem in the beauty industry. She esteems glamour & detail. 

She captures a vision & executes it perfectly! I don't know how many times I've gawked at her Picasso worthy eye makeup, or dragged her to my computer to recreate a hairstyle for me. 

I believe in this girl & am beyond blessed to have her as a part of my brand.

Brides: If you book Audra Dawn Photography, she is my girl! She offers an incredible discount for my clients & the best thing is- she comes to you! Hair + makeup. It's safe to say she is equally gifted in both.

This shoot came out better than I had expected taking into consideration it was a cold, dark, stormy day just before sunset! I was worried we had waited too long but I think we were able to work it out!

Bridgette will be no stranger to this blog- she's always up for my experiments! 

I've blabbered long enough.

 Enjoy!!!!

Dream Room

My husband & I have a dream room. It's in the basement of our house & it is where we both go to dwell, pray, contemplate, reflect, seek, cry, laugh, & mostly....dream.

maps make incredible wallpaper ;)

So far my theme for 2011 has been anticipation & expectation. This is no exception!

I can't believe that it's only March & I've already seen a major breakthrough in 2 areas of my life, & a 3rd is on it's way! I felt like this year was going to make up for lost time & at 10 fold.... it already has.

I spent the beginning of my young adulthood focusing on love, so many people spend their whole lives searching for that one great love & I have been so blessed to have found him.

Recent collage from our 15 minute spontaneous snow shoot! :)

Even though it's a bit out of order- now that the dust has settled in my life I can actually see glimpses of my future. I was a fearless teenager- it seems the moment I turned 20 I unknowingly gave into fear after fear, I was completely crippled in pursuing anything that I may have felt inclined towards.  I just knew this year was different & now that I am starting to see the puzzle pieces slowly come together- I am doing everything within myself to shut fear out at the door & live as though fear was never there.  I am in awe at the details of this freedom- I had a word spoken over my life 9 years ago- & for the very first time- it's been revealed to me.

This word was purposed for this time. I had almost lost hope. almost.

I haven't even braised the surface of seeing the manifestations & feeling the revolution within me, but the fact that the PROMISE is there, is mind boggling to say the least!

Now, my challenge is to LIVE my life on this promise- fears & all.... & see what happens. 

With all of this being said I want to clarify something.  This isn't easy, it's actually extremely challenging & it's not glamorous, it's not fun- it doesn't feel good- but if the benefit is anything like what I've already experienced- 

the freedom really will justify the pain it's taking to get there.

"The future belongs to the few of us still willing to get our hands dirty" 

Love, Audra
