Christmas Break

I've been meaning to post that we are closed until after the New Year. We had a fun Christmas with family and we're enjoying some more family time until New Years. We will reopen for business on January 2, 2012. Thanks to all and Happy Holidays!

Beautiful one year old Avery

Brent and I have agreed that this boy is the most beautiful baby boy we've ever seen (besides our own of course) I told his mom, Ashley, that I'm betrothing him to my daughter for marriage .... when they're 30.
Avery turned one year old this December. I remember taking Ashley's family photo last November when she was pregnant with him and I was pregnant with Grace. He is a sweet little boy and the perfect little model. I think he needs to be on a baby magazine.

The Bell Family

Here is a shoot from last Friday with the Chris & LaDoris and kids. It feels like it wasn't that long ago we were taking their engagement and wedding photos - What a cute little family they have now!! In fact, we have a picture from their engagement shoot that still hangs in our studio. I love these guys. LaDoris and I have went to church together for a long time. I love seeing her beautiful family grow. Here's a few pics from their photo shoot ....

Wisdom Family

Catching up again...

Here is a shoot from the day before Thanksgiving. The whole Wisdom family got together at Ron & Pam's house for a photo shoot on their front porch and all around the property. It was a wee bit cold and I'm so thankful Pam let me borrow a jacket!! I'm a weenie in the cold weather and my teeth were chattering. I'm glad the rest of the family is tougher than me because they smiled and looked great in photos. Their cutie kids were little angels. Great photo shoot for everyone!

Jay

Jay is a sweet little 6 year old. She was a little shy to start but warmed up really fast when I let her jump on the bed in the sunroom! She was great at smiling, posing, and being picture perfect. We also caught some shots with mom, who wasn't expecting to be in photos - but they turned out fantastic.

Evans Family

I'm playing catch up on the blog. This shoot was from the Thanksgiving holiday. The Evans family came to see us for a few shots of their family and kids. They all are sweet teenagers and I'm always happy for a family that likes to show some hugs and smiles in their photo shoot, and these guys did great! :)

What a fun night!

Tonight was a really cool shoot with the Edwards family. Tommy is a lineman for Entergy and the Weather Channel has been following him around watching what he does on the job, with his family, and just real life. So the weather channel came to the shoot tonight! They filmed us taking their family photo and it was a blast! The show will be aired in March. I'll blog when it is on. We also got a fantastic shot out of the shoot as well. I'm loving me some Edwards fam. They're all so sweet and Catie and Calyn are hilarious! I wouldn't call them camera shy ;) (check out the pic of them below)

Williams Family Shoot

Here are some sneak peeks from last Saturday... the Williams family photo shoot. Once you got Kylee (the middle daughter) warmed up, she was a hoot! What a fun little girl. Kaitlyn was the perfect big sister, so helpful! It makes me think that 7 years is a good spacer between kids. Not only helpful, but ADORABLY photogenic. I could've shot photos of her all day! And Kenna (the youngest) just perfectly sweet. She skipped her nap and made it through the whole shoot and then fell asleep at the end in her momma's arms. Would my daughter have ever done that? ... Never. But I'm thankful for kids that will cause they make cute photos!

Thank you for coming to see us Wendy and Daron!

Rabb Kiddos

I'm very behind on blogging from the Thanksgiving holidays and everything since then. I apologize to everyone for my tardiness in posting your sessions. I've had some health problems that have put me behind a little. And the holidays is not a good time to get behind! :)

Last Friday we had a fun shoot with the Rabb children. I asked them before they started how much do they love each other as a brother and a sister (always a fun question for a 5 and 8 year old) and Reagan gave me a look of "not at all!" Well, I was fooled because you would've never known it... they were always having fun together, hugging, and being absolutely picture perfect. Needless to say, I was impressed!
We've taken their photos before when they were itty bitty. It was fun to see how much they've grown up. I hope we can take the whole family photo sometime soon! They're all so very photogenic.
Thank you Ashley for coming to see us with your sweet kids!

Edwards Family

It's true it's hard to get a whole family together at the same time. So Brent and I are good with shooting around the holidays. We know it's the time when folks are together. The Edwards family came to see us the day after Thanksgiving and couldn't get everyone there at the same time. So, Carol had a great idea of photographing everyone in a different position and placing them around the word "FAMILY". I loved the idea and below is a picture of what I have so far. We're waiting on two more people to come get their photo made. We had fun shooting it too! You had to have vision to see why we were doing such wierd poses. :)
We also took Haley's baby, Ryder, 5 week old photos. He is such a great baby! My children at 5 weeks did not sleep as well as he did. Carol has a tradition of having all of her kid's photos made on a blanket that her mother made. So Ryder joined that tradition and I have a photo of him on the family heirloom. We caught some great shots of Haley with him too .... so sweet.
We also got pictures of Catie and Calyn and they did fantastic. No problem posing these girls - they're naturals.

Thanks Edwards Family!
