i LOVED this session! as much as i adore seniors, it was a great change, and i don’t do many brides so it was fun!

something different! kristen is a beautiful bride, i absolutely couldn’t have asked for a more amazing girl!

it was a HOT day and she was still so game for anything! i LOVE LOVE LOVE these! i hope you love them

to kristen! thanks for an AMAZING session!

here is just a teaser for this adorable couple… i am so busy, that i am just giving them a

quick taste of what is to come with their pics,  i am rushing their gallery on my web so they

can get pictures picked out for the save the date cards… this couple is so much fun and up  for anything!

their wedding is on halloween! how fun is that going to be???

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!

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!

i am sooo ready for julie and brandon’s wedding, it is going to be AMAZING! they are having a simple ceremony on friday night and the crazy, fun reception on saturday. how fun is that?  we met half way between the wedding location and the reception to do their engagements, and i think it turned out perfect!

young love….*sigh*, there is just something so sweet about it! this is tara and nate’s first christmas as a married couple. what an amazing couple, they giggled and laughed the entire time! there was truly something magical about their love for one another! i came home to a sick child, i will post more tomorrow, this is just a little teaser for them! the first pic is an all time fave of mine! thanks guys for all the laughs!

more…

i have never had someone so concerned with taking a picture with me as this handsome guy! that was all he would talk about! sooo cute! and because i have so many AMAZING clients, i am going to give  you a little holiday treat! but…you will have to wait until the end of this post to know what it is! ha

let me start off by answering a little question that i get almost daily…

“how do you do it? how do you work and have 4 kids, a.n.d. are the PTO president, a.n.d. are in the middle of building a house? all of it? HOW DO YOU DO IT?

this blog is mainly all about my clients, and i like it that way, this life is NOT about me, however, i want my clients, potential clients, and clients that have turned into friends, to know a little about me! choosing a photographer is a BIG deal, i want you to know what you are choosing when you call me! 

how do i do it? the BEST i can, but there is NOT enough of me to go around and go around perfectly! i am NOT perfect! this season of my life has got to be hands down one of the most difficult i have ever gone through! but…it is the one i am the most GRATEFUL for! the LORD is pouring out His blessings on my family and i am truly OVERWHELMED! 

i am and have always been very right brained, i can draw, paint, mold clay (like i really need to admit that)! can do just about anything creative… but i can not add, subtract, multiply or divide, my oldest is in 4th grade, and i think i have topped out with his homework! i rely on spell check like it ain’t nobodies business! heck, i even make up words…my super smart, duke grad, friend, has learned over the years to understand me! (ha, now that is a true friend)  what i am getting at  is that i am not in this to be “business like”! i had a hobby, i loved to take pictures, i have had a camera in my hand for as long as i can remember! did i go to college for photography? NOPE…it was just a hobby! 

so… if you are looking for a photographer to meet you in her office and have her best attire on…you might not be looking for me! i will most likely be running from one school to the next with a cap on my head, getting ready for the next baseball game that i need to cheer my kids on at…i might smell like sawdust from being out at the house, and it will be a no surprise if the notes i take are written in a colored on notebook! but guess what?

I LOVE THAT! it is a constant reminder that my number one job is a MOTHER to four precious children that i WILL PUT NOTHING IN FRONT OF! if you love what i do, you will love that about me, if not, it does not offend me if you choose another photographer. i am WHO I AM and i will not change that!

now for all my clients that put up with me and still love my work no matter what falls out of my car when i open the door…this is for you! spend $250 on products (prints, cards, canvas, etc) and get A CD WITH 25 IMAGES OF YOUR CHOICE FREE!!!!! this will only last until january 1st 2010…so let me know your selections, and i will start working on your CD right away!

what a beautiful and FUN bride!

this was such a fun couple! i know it was hot, but obviously worth it! these engagement pictures ROCK and i cannot wait for your wedding in december! thanks for being such good sports!
