John & Valerie : Engaged!

This is my WONDERFUL friend Valerie and her fiance' John! I had the best time photographing them! Let's just say, there are some super funny shots of John in there...lol...but I was a good friend and kept those off the blog and the website...hehe! We are doing their wedding next month and I'm so stoked!!! It's gonna be a BLAST!!

Here are some of their photos...I was going to blog a couple and I just couldn't choose...plus I've been going crazy to try these two sets of blog boards I have :)

So here they are in all their BEAUTIFULNESS! Go on over to our wedding site
http://www.mandystephanieweddings.com/ , enter the webstie and click ENGAGEMENTS...they are in gallery 2! There are some different ones that I couldn't fit on these...hehe! If you know of anyone needing engagements, bridals, trash the dress, or wedding photos...please send them our way! It would be greatly appreciated!! (shameless plug...I KNOW...lol)

My SWEET Miss "S"

Well, this shoot was very special to me...because my sweet little Miss "S" was my first customer 1 year ago in August...that's right, I've been in the photography business 1 year! WOO HOO...lol!
Anyone who knows me, knows how special this family is to me...Lori, her mom, is one of my biggest fans and the reason I am where I am today! :) She took that step of faith out on me one year ago, and now, I am a full time photographer!! She's my SISTER in more ways than one :)

I also think Lori holds the record for the most sessions with me, lol...I'm pretty sure this is #5 if I counted right, lol! In all seriousness, this family (ALL OF YOU) have supported me and filled my life with joy beyond what I could ever express! They lift me up with their words, their hugs, and their support and I will always thank the Lord above for their presence in our life!

Miss "S" is such a little stinker...Her smile just lights up my day! She was so fun that day and I am pretty sure I told Lori that "I just loooooooooove your kids" like 50 times, lol...They are just so warm and fun and so easy to get natural smiles and personality from!

I also want to thank our special "assistant" for that day, "BILL" , haha...It should definately be a tradition, every time we do pics, "Bill" should be there. It wouldn't be right otherwise...and I do have a blackmail picture of our wonderful assistant...I'll be holding onto that for later, LOL!!!!

I hope yall enjoy this sneak peek of your sweet girl! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Kristy & Mr "D"

WOW WOW WOW!! That's alot of wow's, lol! This little guy was such a DREAM to work with! :) From the first shot, he was smiling up a storm and making my job so easy, I didn't have to act really silly or anything to get him to laugh at me, lol!

We took these at his grandparents house. I have known their family for years!! Their home is a special place for me to shoot because my Mom took one of my very dear friends wedding pictures at this house when she married Kristy's brother! :) So it was really neat to me that Kristy asked me to come there and take her little guy's pictures at the same place! It was her birthday that day and so we just had a great time before they went to celebrate!

I really appreciate you asking me to capture some photos of your handsome little man Kristy! It was absolutely my pleasure! :) Enjoy your sneek peak!
