Sneak Peek - Aaron and Amanda

I wanted to share a quick shot from yesterday's wedding. Isn't Amanda gorgeous! She was such a beautiful bride and I am so excited to show the rest of the pictures of these two and their big bridal party! It ended up being a lovely day for a wedding with temps below 100, what a gift:) So make sure to tune in next weekend for the full post of Aaron and Amanda's big day!

RDP Gift Certificates

I wanted to announce that I am now offering gift certificates and just in time for the holidays! If you think I am crazy for saying that then think again! It is very beneficial to start your holiday planning early in order to leave room for a relaxing and celebratory season:) And while we are on the subject... if you are planning on getting your family pictures taken for the holidays it would be best to get your date scheduled now because the dates fill up quickly! Back to the subject at hand, this kind of gift is also great to use for a baby shower, birthday, anniversary, and really any kind of holiday/celebration. I do believe that a husband who came home with this kind of gift for his wife just because he loves her would get quite the reaction! A bit more unique than flowers so keep that in mind guys:) The certificates start at $25 and can go up to any amount from there. An added bonus to this new offer is that anyone who purchases a RDP gift certificate starting today and ending on December 31st will be entered into a drawing to receive a free one hour photo shoot...yeah! If interested shoot me an e-mail at riliedd@gmail.com or visit my website.

SWC Student Leaders


It's the start of another semester at Southwestern College and that means a new group of student leaders. I was asked to come and take some specific pictures of the group and decided to share the head shots simply because I like to see each individual in an up close and personal kind of way:) For those of you who were apart of this shoot... make sure to nag the two guys who didn't show up to get their portrait! I am guessing it was because they took too long pampering themselves for the shot and ended up missing it all together:) Don't worry guys, I am bound to be visiting the campus again here soon and we can take a few quick shots!

Happy Birthday Harvest!


Time to celebrate ANOTHER first birthday but this time it is not for a little one... This shout out goes to the church plant that my husband and I have been a part of since the very beginning. It is hard to believe we have been meeting in the IMAX theater for a whole year now, crazy! Thank you to everyone who has been so sacrificial with their time and abilities to keep Harvest going and growing. Come on out this Sunday to celebrate our first year (click here for more info) Happy Birthday Harvest Community Church!

Taryn Turning One!


Little miss Taryn is one happy girl and it was such a joy to capture her sweet smiles! She is just about to turn one and her mother made it a point to get her first birthday pictures done. This is truly a bid deal (coming from a mother who just went through this milestone with her own daughter:) and Taryn was indeed prepared for the occasion not only in style but also with her beautiful personality!



I could not get enough of those beautiful blues!




It's so great to watch parents who are absolutely smitten by their little one:)




Taryn decided to give her dadda some love!










What a smile!








And then it was time for the birthday cuteness and there was no holding back in this department! She looked very sweet!







This makes me smile:)



And these last two shots make a perfect ending to this shoot. Happy 1st Birthday, Taryn!
