Ideas of what to wear on photo shoots!  I’m so behind posting to my blog.  I have been swamped with work which is a good thing, but no time for blogging.  I will get to it really soon!:)

ICE CREAM!!!  So we just had to finish our day with Marble Slab Creamery Ice Cream. Can’t get any better than ice cream and great photos!:)

What a cutie-pie!  Madison’s Mom needed some photogenic photos for her upcoming pageant as well as a photo with her crown.  I think we got some pretty good shots for her to use.  Thanks for the opportunity, Lindsey!  Good Luck!

My FAV above!!

This is what you get when you put teenagers, hair paint, and makeup together!  I was invited to speak about photography to a group of awesomely talented girls at a talent retreat this weekend.  I had planned to make a speech about photography, get some interaction from the girls, and then take a few normal photos of the group and the girls individually.  It didn’t quiet turn out that way, but God had bigger plans.  Before I could stop myself the words, “Oh, I have some hair paint in the car we could use and do some wild and crazy pics,”  just rolled out of my mouth!!!  I’m always sticking my foot in my mouth.  It looks like I would have learned by age 38, but nope, haven’t caught on yet.  However, I’m pleased with the results and had even more fun with the process of preparation to get the photos than actually taking them.  I love this age group because they are willing to do just about anything and that is just my style, “Off the Chain!”  Thank you, Betty, for the opportunity!  Betty was my sister’s friend in high school and we were acquainted through their connection and just going to the same school.  I’m so glad to know Betty and to see how God has touched her life in the past few years.  She is an A M A Z I N G  lady and I feel honored and blessed to be called her friend instead of just an acquaintance!  Betty, Robin, and young ladies, I hope you enjoy the pics!  I will get Mrs. Betty a CD so y’all can print or have what you all want.  Be blessed for a lifetime and always remember to keep Jesus #1.  He’ll take you on the ride of your life

Ideas of what to wear on a photo shoot!:)

I was so glad to welcome Baby “A” during his first professional photo shoot.  I did his Mother’s maternity shoot and the anticipation was building for his arrival.  He was so precious and we got a lot of goodies from the shoot.  I hope you enjoy them, Mom & Dad, for a lifetime!  Can’t wait to watch him grow.  See you in six months

Isn’t this baby blanket beautiful!  It was gifted to me from Mireya Fernando from Fernando’s Mexican Restaurant in Brandon, MS.  Give her a call if you’re interested.  She has some beautiful work!:)

I had the best time with Mom, Dad, both Grandmother’s and Baby “P”!  Everyone was there supporting this lil’ man.  He gave us hours of fun with all of his little poses even though he didn’t feel so good.  Thanks for the opportunity Lindsey & Chris!:)

Amber and I met in college while taking a History class.  She contacted me to do some family portraits and up-close shots of Cayden for pageants.  They were such a fun family and Amber kept everyone straight through the whole shoot – very organized lady, indeed.  Thanks for the opportunity, Amber and I hope to see y’all through the years.  Enjoy!:)

Ideas on “What to Wear” for April!:)

I like a man with a plan! Chris had his senior shoot all planned out from antique furniture of his Grandmothers, to his Grandfather’s old 1934 Buick Roadmaster, and settings in his house that he and his family are restoring from 1845. You just can’t get better than this. He is so very photogenice and we got some great shots! Hope you enjoy them for a lifetime, Chris & Vicky. Thanks for the pleasure!:)

Wow, Baby “R” made me work so hard for these! She is “Teeny Miss Dogwood Festival” and Mom needed a head shot with the crown to put in the State program book as she progresses to the State pageant. We had a rocky start, but Baby “R” soon warmed up and played along awarding us with a few smiles. Thanks for the pleasure, Kim & Billy. I hope you enjoy them for a lifetime and I get future visits from Baby “R”!:)

She did not want the crown on her head at all. We are lucky we got what we did…I had to be quick!

Melt Down begins…she was trying to open the car door…

This family has been with me starting with maternity portraits. Mom purchased the “1st year baby plan”. Baby “D” turned one and we did a “smash cake” and a few individual and family shots. Hope you enjoy, Mom and Dad!

“Smash Cake” Birthday!!!

I love it when a shoot seamlesly flows. During the shoot one idea after another unfolded. Meagan had the perfect belly and Baby “J” just completed the photo. Thanks for the pleasure, Meagan. Hope you enjoy them for a lifetime!:)
