Rainy Day

Another rainy day weekend, so what do you do? Take child #2 around the house and take pictures. He wasn’t into having his picture taken until he realized he was going to get to wear a tie. Ever since he got his first tie this past Christmas he’s wanted to wear the tie every chance he gets. Of course we did use “daddy’s tie” but he was still stoked! Not only was he excited about the tie, he even suggested some poses for me to take. He is such a little cutie and couldn’t help but take his suggestions, the boy knows how to pose! Here are favorites from his rainy day shoot…

Valentine Shoot

One things I’m starting to realize with my kids its that they are growing up fast. So this weekend for a little fun and one on one with Brianna we did a little photo session. Normally she’s not into frilly things or boys but as I found out she’s starting to recognize what/who is cute and what/who is not. And once she put on the tutu she was ready to show the camera her fun side. She is such a trooper and even gave me few posing suggestions. Here are my favorites from the weekend…

MJ’s Boudoir

My last shoot of 2009 was a boudoir. This was something MJ really wanted to do for her husband but had never done before. Between doing the shoot in her home and just having a casual conversation while taking pictures, that got her comfortable. And let me tell you, once she got comfortable the girl knew how to pose! She did give credit to a little show about modeling but MJ sure knew how to work the camera. Hard to believe that she had just got home from work and produced such amazing looks. Thank you MJ for serving in our military! Have a safe deployment! Here’s a little peek but we’ll leave the rest for her hubby to see…

Kara & Johnny

Kara and Johnny are expecting their first baby and so in December, when her belly bump was really showing, we did a portrait session. It was an exciting shoot because this was her “See, I’m pregnant” announcement to her family. It had to be a special portrait session for them because they wanted to do it outside and let me tell you it was cold. I was only too happy to oblige. Despite the cold we got some great shots and I can only imagine how big of a surprise this is going to be for their family. I’m excited for you two as you get ready for your first baby. Get all the sleep you can now because once the baby comes, things will never be the same. It’s a good change though. Here are some favs from that day…

Paige + Dan

For Paige and Dan summer camp was where it all started and this past weekend they exchanged vows to spend a lifetime together. Brought together by their faith Paige and Dan exchanged vows at the Macland Church of Christ in Marietta. The lovely ceremony was performed by Paige’s brother Chuck, flowers by The Bride’s Bouquet, the bride’s dress and catering was all created by her mother Andi, so it was all a family affair. Thank you Paige and Dan for letting me be part of your special day. Here are some favorite photos of the day…

9 month project

So I’ve been absent from my blog for about 2 months but for a good reason. I’ve been cooking up a very important project that I would like to share with everyone and without futher adieu here are photos of this wonderful “project.”

The Birts

This past weekend I was invited to photograph Kevin, Lindsey, Tatum and Riley at their home for their first family photos. You see I’ve been photographing Tatum since she was a little baby and basically have seen her grow right before my eyes. With the new addition and the holidays coming up they called me up to photograph a new family photo. Take a look at favorites from this weekend’s shoot…

Caden & family

Yesterday I met 20 month Caden for the very first time for a portrait session at his home. It took a little while for him to warm up but once he did he was such a pro! Caden is such a sweet boy with lots of energy and loving personality. He was also joined by his mother, brother and sister who were so great that it was hard to leave after the session. Thank you guys for such a wonderful evening!

50th Anniversary

What a wonderful weekend it was for celebrations, this past Sunday I was also honored to photograph William and Gayle’s 50th Wedding anniversary. Family and friends joined in the celebration at the Woodstock Church of Christ where the couple was serenaded by a song and a room full of tears. It was great occasion for such a wonderful couple! Thank you William and Gayle for sharing your wonderful milestone, may you continue 50 more years!

Justin & Kelly

This weekend I had the honor of photographing Justin & Kelly say their “I do’s” in front of family and friends at the Woodstock Church of Christ. It was such a heartfelt ceremony for everyone, the moment Kelly walked down the aisle there was barely a dry eye in the crowd. After the beautiful ceremony, we headed out to the Woodstock Community Center where the celebration and emotions continued. Thank you Justin & Kelly for sharing your wonderful day with me.
