Abi Gore: {1st Birthday}

Abi is one year old!  My how time flies!  It seems like she should only be about six months old.  We met in the park to have a little photo fun and birthday cake fun!  I love my nieces and  nephews so much.  I always have a blast with them and this time was no exception.

Maybe one day, Abi will be a famous composer and will direct great symphony orchestras.  I’m sure she’ll be glad of these!  Look at the concentration on her face…..adorable.061 062

Hannah Wilson: {Senior}

We have had so much rainy weather lately that we have to plan on a day to day basis.  You just never know if it’s going to be raining.  Me personally….I’ve had enough rain, but I know God know best.  Friday was one of those days.  I had the privilege of taking Hannah’s senior pictures.  Hannah, her mom, and I had a great time together.  Let me tell you one thing internet peeps, Hannah is absolutely drop dead gorgeous!  It was so much fun photographing her.  When we were finished, I was just getting started…that’s how much fun I had.  The weather really cooperated with us.

Emily and Jess: Married

I love, love, love weddings!  I guess I better love weddings since that is part of my job description.  But I have to say something:  it just doesn’t seem like work when you’re having so much fun.  I thank God everyday that He has allowed me to do something I love and get paid to do it.  I am truly blessed!

Emily and Jess are a great couple.  We (Jessica and myself) had a great time.  Emily made us feel right at home. By the way, thanks, Emily, for the barbeque at lunch…it was the best!  Emily is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, not to mention her traffic stopping, drop dread, good looks!  And believe me, Jess is equally good looking with his tall frame and handsome-ness (is that even a word?).

I was so excited when Emily and Jess said they wanted to do a “first look”.  It makes the day go so smoothly.  These images say “Hello beautiful, I want to make you my bride…today!”

Did I lie?????  Heavens NO!  Just look at this image of Jess….HANDSOME.003

Photographers aren’t just photographers.  Sometimes they are what they need to be in whatever situation they find themselves in….florist, maybe?  Oh, yes, we certainly don’t need to forget about the fabulous Carol.  She was a god send for the day.  I wish I had her at every wedding.  She was the go-to gal.  Thanks so much, Carol. 130 511

Misty and Sam

The day started out much like all the other days we’d been having…..rain, rain, and guess what?..more rain!  The weather man said it should be clearing off for the afternoon with a slight chance of showers.  So my spirits were lifted a little.  It seemed like we were having “monsoon season” in our “neck of the woods” .  When would it ever be dry again and when would we ever see the sunshine?!? 

I’ll tell ya, Misty and Sam are real troopers for taking a chance on their engagement session.  But that’s just the kind of people they are.  I had the best time with them.  They are so much in love.  Everywhere we went they were just talking to each other with such ease…ya know the kind of ease two people have when they are really ready to spend the rest of their days with one another.  I love to be around couples like that.  Of course, it didn’t hurt that they are both good looking and very photogenic.  Two school teachers that fell in love…..and one of them is a football coach.  I’ll let you figure out which one.  By the way, Misty doesn’t think she takes good pictures!  Well, I have to differ with you, Misty.  You are beautiful on the inside and out.  Really.

         050We can agree to disagree…right?…..right!052060   Don’t ya just love this seventies look.067 Seventies 070 Midnight  058074 SFH076 Seventies

I can’t wait till their wedding in November.  It’s gonna be fabulous!
