Hannah is a beautiful senior at Mountain Ridge! We had a great time taking her senior portraits. First we had to get Hannah with her two little brother's then it was time to just have fun. Hannah is very comfortable in front of the camera and the camera loves her. We went to take a little walk out to this bridge when a very nice young man offered up the golf cart for us to drive. Hannah went for it. Hannah plans on moving to Texas for college studying education. When her mom mentioned she was leaving the state I felt sad. Only because I have a senior this year myself and if he moved out of state for school I would greatly miss him. I felt for Hannah's mom..

This beautiful, fun spirited little girl is Gracie and she turned one! Gracie's mom Heidi got my number from a bride of mine and wanted to set up a time to have Gracie's pictures taken. Well when I met Gracie my heart melted. She is so sweet and happy not to mention beautiful. We were all smiles and giggles during Gracie's photo shoot. Heidi thank you for allowing me to photograph Gracie. I feel so honored to have been able to spend an hour with her!! Gracie is truly a little angel.

This is Aiden, the newest member of Jason and Dena's family. Such a sweet little angel. I have to share this story: Jason and Dena were married last April 4, 2010. Since originally meeting Dena and photographing her wedding we've become friends.:-) While shooting Jason and Dena's maternity pictures Dena was telling me that she was hoping for Aiden to be born on Feb 14th for certain reasons. Dena and I had made plans to meet for lunch on Thursday Feb 10th. Well the night before I went to send Dena a text message to say "Don't be going in to labor tomorrow so you can cancel lunch on me". I did not send the text for my thought was I do not want to jinx Dena, she is hoping to have the baby on Feb 14th. Well guess what? On Thursday Feb 10th I was heading out to meet Dena for lunch when I received a text message from Jason stating "Dena is in labor, will not be able to meet you for lunch". Is it my fault? One will never know. I borrowed my ...

Meet Emilie Marie, Michael and Shannon's new baby girl. Emilie Marie was about two weeks old when we took her pictures. She was a perfect Angel for me. I must admit I really enjoy taking pictures of a GIRL.. Seems everyone is having boys. Look at all the pink.;-) I think my logo goes well with Emilie Marie. Michael and Shannon are a very sweet couple and have a beautiful family. Baby makes five. I look forward to taking their wedding picture November 11Th, 2011.

So I already know that I will probably over use the word love in this post. Here we go, I love, love this couple. Joey and Faressa are so in love and happy, it radiates off them like fire. I felt so lucky to be the photographer at their wedding, to witness such chemistry between them and their family and friends. So here they are getting ready for the day. This first image is Joey with the boys, ladies this is what they do while you are spending countless hours getting ready. Dena I knew that you would love her shoes, so posted this image for you. There were so many special moments like this between Faressa and her mom. I loved watching them. Special mother daughter relationship. Faressa is ready to go see Joey for the first time on their wedding day. Joey and Faressa were married at Regale , a spectacular wedding venue. I was so impressed with the staff, they made sure everything was perfect for their bride and groom. Just look how beautif...
