brandon was taking his senior pictures and amy thought it would be a great time to get one last family picture before her

baby graduates and moves away! PERFECT IDEA!

it was a perfect day, the weather was great, and we had a fun time!

Amy - Thanks Spanki!!! I love the pictures!!!

what a cutie… even though we could NOT get him to smile!

his whole family went with us and we all tried to catch him off guard and get a picture of that cute

little smile… but no way, he was on to us right off!  well, even without that smile he still makes for

one handsome young man!

Amy - Spanki, the pictures of Brandon are GREAT!! I am ready to see the rest of them and also see the family pictures. Thanks for a fun afternoon!!!

wedding days…

they can get pretty stressful, they are a lot of work! so, i always try to bring someone with me! meet lacie…

not only is she one of my best friends, but for my weddings, she’s my “go to girl”!

i think it is always better to have someone there to bounce ideas off of, to problem solve with… or just to laugh with.

this was a little different, the stress was over after the actual ceremony on friday, so all we had was the fun of the reception…

we decided to go a little early, and play around with our own photos. we had been talking about it for a long time, and this was a great day to JUST DO IT!

we had sooo much fun! thanks lacie for not only being a great friend, but an awesome “go to girl” you ROCK!!!! (even if i do run you crazy, like being my spokes person to the crazies that “want my card”)

Jana - Yeah, love these pics of both of you. You ladies got it going on!

Julie - You guys BOTH ROCK!!!! I had such an awesome time and love all these pics of you both.

Lacie B - i just wrote a huge-mongous comment and then my computer didn't send it! -what it said was, thank you for letting me tag along, it is always an adventure and always a blast! i am laughing thinking about our crazy shoot and the crazies we encountered! the bag lady pic of me is hilarious and where is your jumping picture, that should've made the blog! hahahaha! love the last one.. i need to get copies of all of our "self portraits" so that i can scrapbook them! thanks for making me smile today! =)

here is just a sneak peek into one of the sweetest weddings i have ever seen…

they had a small intimate wedding ceremony on friday night in julie’s hometown. and had the reception on saturday for all their

friends and family to join in on the celebration. i can’t wait to get to the rest of the pictures, the details were amazing!

Michele Delgado - I'm interested in getting Family photos done. We have waited an aweful long time. Just never made time. There are 6 of us, and we live in Madisonville. Please e- mail me the intial fee and possible dates you have available. Sundays would work the best for us, but will work around your schedule. I am a big fan of your photography. Can't wait to hear from you!

Lacie B - oh my gosh.. that picture of julie and brandon in the photo booth is awesome! what an amazing and fun couple... congrats to you guys!

susanr - FANTASTIC JOB!

meet betsy and robert, what a cute couple…

i knew when i first talked to her, i was going to hit it off with her, and, yep…. i did!

robert is a professional fisherman, so pictures on the lake were a must.

he had a busy day and practically slid in on two wheels, we were fighting the light, but i think we got some great pictures!

opinions please…

leave a comment if you feel like you need to elaborate on this…

i am just trying to get a feel for what my clients are looking for!

thanks

Nan Kennedy - Until I saw the engagement pictures you did for Julie and Brandon I would have voted for price and quality. Now I definitely think creativity is the most important. You are an amazing photographer and I can't wait to see the rest of the wedding pictures. Julie said the only thing she was disappointed in about the wedding was not being able to get more pictures before the reception started. Time just ran out. She loves your work as I do.
