Mr. "H"

This little guy is a little pistol ball as my Paw Paw Pete says, hehe! I have known his mom and dad for a long time and I was so excited when Starr wrote me and asked me to do some photos of their little guy for a modeling agency...Just a few days after this shoot, they went to Nashville to audition for an Alan Jackson music video! How AWESOME right?!?!?!!!!

He was a definate little ham and was cracking me up...He even got to be a photographer for a few mintues and he took some pics of his mom and I, lol...Let's just say those of me will be locked away somewhere...lol ;)

I wanna start by saying, "I LOOOOOVE THIS BUNCH!" They are fun, energetic, and CRAZAAAY! LOL...My kind of people! You can't help but grin when you're around them...They are just so wild and full of life! My cheeks were sore later that night from laughing so much! :)

This is Miss "K" and her BIG cousins...hehe...The guys are absolutely WONDERFUL with Miss "K" and you can tell how much they all really care for each other...especially the guys ;) lol...She has them all wrapped around her little finger, as well it should be! Miss "K"s Mom is one of my bestest buddies, {who I miss very much by the way} and she called wanting some pictures of her beautimous little one...Well, on the way she called and asked if I would mind doing some of all of them together, because that seems to be a giant feat in itself, (getting them ALL together) and of course I was happy to! It ended up being one of my most favorite sessions.....EVER!! We had a blast and shot some great photos that hopefully everyone will enjoy!

The FABULOUS "J" Family

Well, I say this ALOT, and I know that, but I just LOOOOVE this bunch! :) They are so fun and hilarious!

This is Heath & Ashley, and their two fun loving sweet girls! We met up one afternoon to get some photos at a building I like to use for my urban sessions, and while we were there, Ashley's family came by and I found out that her Mom, (who's featured in a photo below) use to work at that building when it was owned by her family! I thought that was pretty neat myself! So we grabbed a picture of her with the girls by the builing, plus Heath's Mom & Dad came by to jump in a few pics! We had a really great time cuttin' up and catchin' some pictures!

Heath, Ashely & Miss "M" and Miss "M", Thanks so much for asking me to do these for yall! Yall are so down to earth and just great to be around and a total pleasure to work with...I hope we get to do it again soon!

I love L-O-V-E :)

Meet Amy & Jordan! They are a super sweet couple that was wonderful to shoot and did every shot I asked of them! :) A Photographer's DREAM in other words, hehe!

They are getting married next June and starting their new life together! I must say, I got tickled first thing...Jordan was telling us he was a little nervous and didn't know quite what to do, so we just cracked some jokes and had a great time. In no time, he was at ease and they were great models! Amy was a great subject all by herself! We took a few of her separately for her Graduation Invitations, but we decided we're going to hopefully do a whole separate shoot! ;) I tell ya, the girl can ROCK it out!

I'm in love with all of these, but I do have some fav's as usual, hehe! Yall Enjoy!
