She said, "I do!"

Susie & Luis
11.20.11

I always love a love story and a few weeks ago I had the pleasure of being able to capture my first engagement session.  Actually, it started out to be a regular booking for Christmas pics but a few days before our session these two love birds got engaged!  And so this session turned into an engagement session!  Susie and Luis are so adorable and I just love how sweet they are. Here are some of my favorite shots from our session.

 He swept her off her feet.
 Hand in hand and in love.
 Sealed with a kiss.
 The happy couple.
 All smiles.
 One of my favorite shots of the day.
 Another favorite, love how they are smiling at each other.
So romantic.

Daddy's girls...

Ham Family
11.13.11

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of working with the Ham family. I should actually call them Jeremy & the Ham Girls because in addition to his beautiful wife Cyndi he has three girls.  Talk about a hand full.  The poor guy doesn't stand a chance with these adorable sweeties. One thing I absolutely love about family photography is getting to know families.  It's so fun to see how different each sibling's personality can be.  These girls were so sweet and so much fun to work with!  I even had a little helper with Kennedy.  Here are a few shots from our session.  I really love the candids with mommy and daddy.  Melts my heart!

 How cute is this?  Especially that lil' one in the middle!
 What a beautiful family!
 She's a Ham (no pun intended)!
 I just love this one, I love those chubby hands holding those chubby cheeks!
 Those cheeks are to die for!
 My lil' assistant.
 Sweet hearts!
 Yum!
So sweet!
How can you say no to these eyes?!
 It took a bit but we finally got her to smile...AND she kept the bow on!  Like a lil present.
 Daddy's lil girl.
 Mommy's are the best.
 Eskimo kisses!
 How cute is this outfit and where can I get a pair of these leggings?!
 Sweet baby doll.
 Silly sisters!
 Giggles with mommy.
Gorgeous girls with daddy.
 Love those eyes!
 Dancing with daddy!
 So cute!  Love this poncho!
Cheese!

"Pike" the "goggy"

The Faircloth Family
11.12.11


It's funny how many friends of mine have little baby boys.  I never really noticed it until I started posting photos to my site and I realized, "did any of my friends have girls?"  Ahh yes, there was one family that did....the Faircloths.  Anyone who knows the Faircloths knows that Jason was completely meant to be the father to a sweet (feisty, shall I add) baby girl.  He truly is an amazing dad and his daughter Layla is a lil spitfire (this coming from a self-proclaimed spitfire myself).  Layla is the perfect example of a child who is just like their mom and dad and on this particular day she just wasn't interested in being followed by the paparazzi.  She just wanted to do her own thing (I love how independent she is!).  But alas we were able to get a few shots with the entire fam; including her Aunt Jaime who she absolutely adores and "Pike" her "goggy" (AKA: Spike her puppy).  All in all it was a joy capturing the Faircloths.  They are one of the closest families to my heart and I just loved watching how much they love each other through my lens.    Here are a few from the session. 


 Not even Latisse can make lashes this long!
 Running towards mommy...she is so funny!
 All wrapped up in a pretty lil bow.


 Whoops...like Cinderella...lost a shoe.
 Just petting my "goggy Pike."
 Kisses!
" Daddy's so funny!"
 "Oh you know just doing some things...making some art."
 Sorry, I just had to post this one.  Anyone with a sense of humor and kids knows that sometimes they just want to be left alone. This is after we tried to take the chalk form Layla.  Needless to say...FAIL.
So sweet.
 "Mamma makes everything better."
Aunt Jaime!!!!!

Puppy Love

Courtney, Kristine, Bullet & Buffy
10.16.11

Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE dogs.  After all, God gave man a best friend and named him in his honor; D-O-G (spells God backwards).  So it's no surprise that I did a photo shoot that involved pups.  Courtney and Kristine are a young family recently married who adore not just each other but their dogs as well.  These are just a few shots from that day...it's all about puppy love!

 My favorite shot...candid and perfect!

Another candid shot.  They were trying to get the dogs to pose, but this turned out pretty cute. 

 Beautiful Kristine

 Just the boys.


 What a gorgeous couple!

 Bullet is the apple of his mom's eye.



 Family stroll.
