What a family!

I had the honor of photographing 3 generations for a family. It was a very smooth and rather fast session even with the number of people we had.

This first photo is where it all started, when they fell in love!


Here is the whole family. What a great bunch to work with! Check out how great they coordinated together! Everything flows but you can see each family! Great choice!


What a family! Thank you for letting me be apart of this time in your lives!

Ashley's new do!

Mother's Day weekend we all went home to South GA to visit the family. While we were at the Mall, Rachel said she wanted to get her hair cut. She has been asking me for a while to cut it, so I finally decided we would go for it since we didn't have Jacob it would be the perfect opportunity. Rachel got a simple bob just at the chin. Cute Cute Cute on her!!!

Ashley of course wanted hers cut as well, gotta do everything the older sister does! Ashley got about the same but I asked the lady to stack Ashley's in the back. Well she got a whack job on her hair. It was terrible, like the lady used a weed whacker on Ashley. Once we got home I took Ashley to my stylist to fix her hair. She did a GREAT job as usual! I love Ashley's hair, it is very inspiring!

I don't know what she is doing in this photo but I thought it was such a funny face and kind of scary also!

Aaaaaa that is so much better. That is the Ashley smile I know and love!

Miracle Moment

Can you believe the picture below!?!?!? BOTH, yes I said BOTH girls, fell asleep on the couch this past Saturday. We had a long Friday night at the church and then the girls and I went to a birthday party at one of those run, jump, run, and jump some more play places. Once we got home they were pretty beat but would never admit it. Michael told them to sit with him on the couch and just relax for a little while. After about 20 minutes both girls fell asleep. Ashley I wasn't too surprised about, hence my posting on her last week falling asleep in her closet. She falls asleep so often just watching SpongeBob while I cook dinner, but Rachel, well that is another story! She actually feel asleep first, even more amazing! I don't know if it was the birthday party or Michael making them sit on the coach and watch golf with him, but whichever it was praise the Lord for both!!!! I did my happy dance and gave my praise and thanks to the Lord above for complete silence!

PS Check out the sweat on Rachel's head. YUCK!!! That girls sweats like a boy! :)
And Ashley's hair is dry as a bone!

Field Day Whoo!

Oh I use to LOVE this day at school, the sweat, the competition, the ribbons, the FUN!!!! Rachel had her Field Day last week. She was the green team. She had a blast, even despite the rain. There are times when she hates the camera and other times when she loves it. She was definitely LOVING it this time. Posing all by herself, even giving me an action shot of her running!

Such a beautiful and FUN family

This was a rescheduled session. About an hour before the session was to begin, it started to sprinkle. I was wondering if this session was actually ever going to happen. After chatting with the mom, we decided to stick it out and try to get the shots. I think that decision was a good one and paid off!
It actually seemed like it stopped while we did our shoot for an hour, must have been that praying to God I was doing to hold off the rain for just a bit, PLEASE GOD!!!! :) He is so good! The youngest was great for the first half, but quickly lost attention and soon we lost her toward the end of the shoot.

Here is your peek into what is to come! Enjoy and I'll send everything later!
Thanks for a great shoot!!!!


I told her there was a monkey in my lens and she had to look really hard to see him jumping around. Check out the intense look on her face searching for that monkey. Too funny!


Oh what we will do as parents to get our child's attention. :)

Fix-It Friday!

I finally decided to participate in a Fix-It Friday from I heart faces. If you are not familiar with what that is, I'm gonna let you know now!

Crazy Hair Day!

Rachel had crazy hair day to help raise money for a needy child at school. She brought in her $1 to wear her hair crazy. Well this is what we came up with when she left for school. Yikes, pretty crazy I would say. She actually wore it like this all day. How would I know, because this is what she looked like when she got of the bus in the afternoon! HAHAHA

Sleepy girl~

Ashley has such a hard time keeping up with the family or maybe I should say Rachel. I think we all have a hard time keeping up with Rachel's energy. I found Ashley asleep in her closet about 5 in the afternoon, well, Jacob actually found her.

"Ashy, wake up, Ashy Ashy WAKE UP!!!" said Jacob. :)

Girls just wanna have fun!

We headed south for Mother's Day this year. And it was warm down there! While Jacob was napping one day, Rachel and Ashley wanted to cool off with their new swimsuits and new haircuts!

You may notice I have been playing with my photos and creating different effects. I would love to hear what you think, yeah or nay, love them or hate them, tell me, tell me!
