Seniors Close To My Heart

There are several things in my life that make me glad I am a photographer. One of them is when I am privilledged enought to take portraits of families that are close to my heart. This is one of those cases. This young man gives me an extremem hope for the future. His head and his heart are in the right place and I pray that he will continue to follow God in his life and I know he will go so far. Thanks J for giving us a chance to photograph this special time in your life.

Love in the Rain

One of the best parts of my job is getting to see how an entire family fits together. I first met A when she came with her sister to have pictures taken of her niece (who actually is on of my new MAM's models and will have her portrait on the wall - as soon as I can frame it without injuring myself) - and when she called me the day after she go engaged I found myself just as excited - She and J came for engagement portraits with her parents so I added on even more - Well after shooting this precious couple ...in the rain no less I have to say I CANNOT Wait until their wedding!!!!!

Sassy Seniors

There are certain Seniors that people look forward to photograping. It may be because they are beautiful inside and out and it truly shows in pictures, or it may be because the person themselves are very special to them. Both are the case with this senior. M has sucha rare mix of beauty on the inside and out - her love for riding is evident and her comfort level her at the barn is amazing to me. It seems like a home away from home for her. But the best part of taking M' sportraits is that she is one of my best friend's children. Seeing her through her eyes truly makes her beauty stand out. Thanks M - it was a blast!!!!!

Working Parent Syndrome

I am going to share a very personal part of my life with you right now...I suffer from WPS. I go to work 5 days a week in a very wonderul but hectic environment and then come home, do homework, do laundry, (Steve does cook dinner - thank goodness), baths, nighttime sticker charts, and put the girls to bed. Then I start my second job - which if you are on this blog you know what that is. My second job also takes many nights and weekends. I will be honest - it has been getting to me lately. My oldest (and most manipulative) child has figured this out so her new favorite complaint is "you are always working" N omatter how hard I tried to show her all the time we spent together - she still complained so in order to make it very visual we marked off a day on the calendar to be family day, with a specific project in mind...building a tree house. Well today was that day and I wanted to share with you our tree house. It is not the Thajma Hall - but the girls love it and they especially love that they "helped" build it(and it does have a cool slide exit). Anyway I wanted to say thank you to those of you who are so very patient with me when things get crazy...Sometimes we all need to just schedule a day...and by the way yes that is permanent marker on my little one's face...so much for trying to sleep in for one morning!!!!

Getting Everything Perfect...

Does this ever happen to you? Not me...I try so hard to get things just so and it never seems to stay that way (I am sure it has nothing to do with the 2 little tornadoes that live in my world) Well I met someone who did!!!! F and B wedding was truly perfect!!!!! Everything from the weather to the church to the beautiful job they did on the Grady Cultural Center to the incredible food, even down to our picture schedule (they were actually ready for picture early). And the most important part was how much they seem perfect for each other. I know they will spend a lifetime realizing what a special blessing they have in each other. We were just so lucky to be part of this extremely fun and happy day!!!!! Thanks guys!!!!!
