Red hair and One year!

This morning I got to play with the cutest red headed little boy ever! His hair was so beautiful! There are women who pay serious money to have this color of copper! :) Jude turns the big ONE next week and it was so fun capturing his laughter and one-year-old-spirit! Here's your sneak peak Monica and Neil!



love the instability of a little one learning to walk!




maybe my favorite of the day? check out the sun flare! love it:)


dad told me I would only have about 2 seconds to capture Cooper's birthday hat before he pulled it off--Well, I think I got it!! :)

Finally!!

Yeah! I finally got to have a photo shoot today! I've been so bummed with this weather this week b/c I've had to reschedule twice already! Karen called me this morning and told me it was raining down in Matthews but she wanted to go ahead with the shoot b/c she thought it would blow over quickly. Boy am I glad she was game!!! It was 200% humidity, for sure, but it was well worth it!!! I did Georgia Anne's 3month pictures a few months ago and Karen and Chad were super excited to do her 6month pictures this month! They have to be one of the sweetest families I have met:) Thanks so much guys for trusting me with your memories! I hope you enjoy your sneak peak!!

I LOVE this neat wall they have at their house.....just wait til that ivy takes over!!






Georgia knows how much I LOVE feet and toes!!

Rain Rain Go Away!

Well, I HAD a fun photo shoot scheduled for Tues. and the rain washed away our plans. We were going to try again tonight and once again, we were washed out a 2nd time! I'm hoping that the three I have scehduled this weekend are safe from the weather!!

Here's a shot of my daughter playing in the rain last night:

new storyboard option

I'm really excited about a storyboard I just created for MYSELF! I had a friend photographer take some photos of my family and I wanted to do something special with the images. I created a unique storyboard and had it printed on canvas to hang straight on my wall. Here is how it turned out:



and here is how it looks on my wall:


I would love to create a custom, unique storyboard like this for your family! Let me know if you are interested!

I'm back and ready for some fun shoots!

We made it back from our journey up to Indiana and back to see my husband's family! It was a great trip but it's always good to be home:) I took a few cool pictures while we were gone that I wanted to share with you!! I kick off a series of four fun kiddie shoots tonight so be sure to keep checking back for sneaks peaks coming at you through the weekend!!

BLOWN AWAY x2!!

Wow, God is amazing!! I am literally blown away at how He is blessing me with this photography adventure!! Every week I am amazed at the blessings I receive from folks that I meet, photographs that capture life and bring joy, and the shear excitement of taking pictures!! This week my BLOG reached the landmark of 10,000 hits!!!!!!! Holy stinkin' cow!!!! Wow, you all are incredible and I am sooo thankful for each of you for being just as excited about my photography as I am!! Thank you!!! As a special celebration of this benchmark, I would like to offer a FREE 8x10 print to the NEXT THREE people to book a shoot with me!!! But, you have to HURRY because I only have ONE MORE session in July!!!

I am heading out on a five day trip with my family for the 4th of July, but when I return next week, I have FOUR shoots lined up!! Be sure to check back soon for a peak of those sessions!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE!!!

Happy 4th and 3month old pics!

Yesterday morning I got to take Chance's 3month old pics! His parents bought the "Watch Me Grow" package after I did his newborn photos, so it was so fun to see how big has gotten in just three short months! Mom also wanted to get some fun, 4th of July, family photos in so we did! Here's a peak at some of my favorites...
