Chad

One of the most awesome seniors came out to our land the other day to get some pictures with his truck. He has the coolest truck and is quite proud of it. Guitar is also one of his hobbies and I was so glad he brought it along. Check out these amazing pictures...








Thanks, Chad! It was so nice meeting you and your family. Hope you enjoy this little preview!

Landon and Nikki

Tractors are Landon's favorite. Kitty-cats are pretty fun, too. Needless to say, we had a great time yesterday. The entire shoot was fun but the end was definitely the most entertaining. You'll soon understand why. Meet Mr. Landon:







What started out as a peaceful tree-watering event turned into a bath for the cat. It was hilarious!

Landon is going to be a big brother very soon. His mom, Nikki, decided to document this special time with a couple photos. Here are a few pictures of Nikki and Landon's baby brother:






Thanks Nikki and Landon! It was so much fun getting to know you. Can't wait to show you more!

Lauren

What a fabulous weekend! Mom and I flew to Tennessee to check out Southern Adventist University in hopes of narrowing down my options for next school year. We had a great time together and enjoyed some fabulous weather. Before flying home this afternoon, we met one of our life-long friends, Lauren, for a photo shoot. It was so special to have that time with Lauren and the shoot was a blast. Downtown Chattanooga was our location of choice and, boy, was it a good one. The shoot spots were endless and made my job easy. LOVE the variety. Not to mention, I had a gorgeous model to work with...



This red wall was naturally this glossy! Shiny, red bricks. How fun is that?!



Lauren begins her treacherous journey

The end result was definitely worth it

Love the color!

Isn't she gorgeous?Thanks, Lauren! We had so much fun with you. Miss you lots. Come home soon!

Torrence and Barbie

No time to journal right now but wanted to get these up. These two are like family to me and it was so much fun to photograph them. Enjoy!












Love you guys!

Preston is ONE!

Preston is one of the Stewart clan. Talk about a photogenic baby! He is just super content and doesn't mind "posing." I tried to eliminate enough of this series to include them in the family post but his expressions were just too funny. And these are just a few of the great ones we got! Amy picked up a little birthday cake and Mr. Preston had his first sugar experience in front of my camera. It was quite comical. He was all into tearing that thing apart but had no interest in eating it. In fact, when he did try it he discovered that, like his big sister, he is not a big fan of sweets. What a blessing! Anyways, Preston meets Sugar:

The destruction begins...





It's amazing how much cake fits in one little hand

As I said, Preston is NOT a fan of sugar


I can't wait to show you the rest, Greg and Amy! They are so much fun!

The Stewart Family

One of my favorite things about being a photographer is turning clients into friends. The Stewart family is a good example. Greg's mother attends the same church as my family and I and my parents have worked with his. Upon a referral from Lynda, his mother, Amy called and set up an appointment with me last fall. We had so much fun together that she booked me again for this spring. Through shoots, previews, picture deliveries, and emails the Stewarts have become more like friends than clients. Once again, I have incredible clients.
