New camera!

Yes, I am way behind on my blogging.  We've been so busy this summer that I've got a load of photos to upload and show off.  However, I'm taking a minute to show a pic that Brent took of me with our new D600 that came in the mail today!  This was shot at 6400 iso in our low lit office.  I was pretty impressed with it's performance!

Jesse & Leslie

The Stacy family took their photos at the end of May this year.  I have taken way too long to get them posted on our blog.  We wanted to take their photos before life changed and they had kids one day.  Come to find out, Leslie was pregnant at the shoot!  She told us all at church a few weeks later.  I'm so excited to find out if this Stacy baby is a boy or girl.  I know in either case, he/she will be one blessed child to have them as parents.  I've been blessed to have Leslie teach my children in Bible Class.  We are very thankful for both of them and the work they do at Silver City. 

Leslie is a teacher and Jesse is a youth minister.  They both have several interests and/or hobbies so we showed those off in their photo shoot.  Check out some from their session........

Senior Alex

Alex is a track runner so we decided to hop on over to the Vilonia High School track for a few shots.  It was right before dark that we got the shots below while the tennis team was zooming past us running laps for exercise.  Every athlete seems to take the best shots on their own turf.  She was so good at taking all photos but at the track.... she was amazing.
She is also a big Dallas Cowboys fan so I threw in the shot in her jersey at the end.  What a fun shoot and sweet girl!  Here are a few from the evening...

Senior Rebecca

Rebecca is a model and doesn't know it.  She's tall, lean, and has GORGEOUS hair.  I only wish my hair would curl like hers does.  She is also so sweet!  She gets told that she is way too nice for volleyball because she smiles as she spikes the ball at her opponent.  We had a wonderful time with Becca.  She's beautiful inside and out.

Here are a few of the shots....

Senior Alex

Alex was so easy to photograph.  With a perfect smile, bubbly personality, and beautiful eyes - you can take a bad photograph.  We had a good time with Alex and I'm so glad she trusted us with her senior photos.  Here are a few from her shoot.....

Senior Eric

We've had a bunch of senior boys come to us this year.   Eric is another senior from Vilonia HS.  He plays tennis for VHS, singles and doubles.  I remember my days of high school tennis.  I definitely only played doubles because there was no way I was going to be able to cover a full court by myself.    He is a sweet senior boy and we're so happy he came to see us for his photos.  We photographed his sister a few years back.  She went with golf for her sport in high school, while he has chosen tennis.  Both very good sports!  I hope my son chooses something related to one of those "less painful" sports when he gets older.  While I like to watch football, but I don't think I want to watch my son play it.  :)

Here are a few from his shoot...

Senior Lane

Lane is another one that we photographed his brother a few years back.  He and his brother, Coe, are both so very nice and polite.  Lane plays basketball for Vilonia.  Some of my favorite shots were the ones with his jersey and basketball.  He really did a great job and we came out with some wonderful shots for his mom to hang up.   Here are a few from the shoot....

 

Senior Colton

We shot Colton's photo back in June and I put some on facebook but forgot to blog about his senior shoot!  We also took his brother's senior photos a few years ago.  I haven't met the youngest son, but I can say for sure that the first two Wood boys are so very sweet, polite, and photogenic.  We have  enjoyed photographing their family and I look forward to when their last son graduates.  There are some families that come through our studio that I want to know exactly how they raised their children.  You can just tell by the way they act, that they love and respect their parents.  The Wood family is one of those sweet families that I need lessons from.

Here are a few from Colton's shoot....

Senior Dakota

Dakota thought he wasn't going to like senior photos.  But I believe by the end of it, he did.  At least, I hope so because we all had fun taking his picture.  :)  He is into fishing about as much as Brent is... which I didn't know was humanly possible for someone to love it as much.  But he had a fishing pole for every occasion and every kind of fish... much like Brent does.  I'll never understand a fisherman's mind, but I'm kinda glad that Brent has picked that sport to love.  It's way safer than many others he could've latched on to.  Dakota plans on entering the military after college.  He really does have a fantastic smile!  I'm glad he came to us for his senior photos.  Here are a few from his shoot....

Senior Morgan

Morgan is a senior at CAC.  She's an excellent soccer player and sweet girl.  She is absolutely gorgeous!  Excellent, excellent, photos at her senior shoot. 
She also found a snake in the grass while shooting photos around our old truck.  She didn't even scream!  In fact she kept going and we got more wonderful photos on the back of the truck.  I'm impressed!   I wanted to run out of the grass myself. :)
Here are some from her shoot .....
