John and I grew up together and I met Kendy while we were in college at Mississippi State.  I just love them together and their love is infectious...they are the perfect compliments to each other.  Kendy and I have been chatting for a few years about getting together for a photo shoot and we finally made it happen.  These images are some of my all time faves from a family session.

It helps that their two girls are ADORABLE.  I could just eat them up.  Eliza Kate has the soul of a Jane Austen character and Caroline is sweet and laid back.  

I hope you enjoy the images as I much as I do.

John and Kendy...thanks for letting me come and style you and thanks for trusting me.  I know my ideas are insane sometimes but you let me go for them.  

Hello there...we are the next Anthro cover...

Eliza Kate...

Caroline...

Melts my heart...

I adore these.

I mean this light...totally yummy.  John and Kendy...HOT!

I couldn't decide...I love both of these.

My favorite family shot of ALL TIME...

Looking at this image...I'm so glad that Kendy and I talked John into wearing a tux...

Love this series...

Family guitar time...

Seriously...seriously...Kendy is stunning!

Babies and Balloons...can't beat it...

Hi...I'm your 50's housewife...sidenote...that apron was her grandmothers in the 50's...LOVE!

Mamma says, "Eat your fruit"...I couldn't resist those blackberries in that lovely depression glass!

I met Georgia and knew instantly that I liked her.  She stepped out of the car with pep in her step and a little bit of sass.  I LOVE little girls with a large side of sass...and Georgia put on her sassy pants for our session.

She was fearless and did whatever I asked AND NEVER had a single meltdown :).  What a fun spirit she has.  I truly believe there is nothing she can't do!  

Thanks for letting me hang out with you.  You make my job fun!

Princess Power:

The natural progression of things...

I MAY have bribed her with a milkshake...which also made for cute pictures :)...

So stinkin' cute!

This reminds me of Alice in Wonderland...no idea why...it just does...

The Tanksleys are such a fun bunch!  Okay so maybe Alex thinks that hunting is WAY more fun than me taking his pictures...I think he had a blast...before it was all over he was running around begging me to shoot him :).

Peggy Jo and I went to High School together and I was so excited when she emailed wanting to book a session with me.  It's always so much fun going back home and meeting people's new families.  

We went all over Greenwood and I LOVE the shots we ended up with.  Thanks guys for picking me and for letting me have fun with you!

The kids were so funny watching their parents love on each other ;).

It was so important to Peggy Jo that her and Jamie get shots of just them...they brought the fierceness!

Don't be fooled...the kids worked it for the camera too...

...and had a little fun too...

I adore this shot of them!

And this one :)...

A timeline of events...

LOVE!

My absolute FAVE shot of the entire day. I want a GINORMOUS canvas of this!

Katrice bid on a session at a silent auction and told me, "You can do whatever you want".  That is my absolute favorite sentence that I could hear out of a clients mouth :).

I met them on a Saturday afternoon and the lighting was just perfection.  We drove around to different spots and I had so much fun with this lively family.  With twin boys I know there is NEVER a dull moment in their home.  They would wrestle and then turn around and give each other a hug.

Thanks for letting me hang out with you and letting me be do my thing in order to give you amazing images.  I hope you love them and more than anything I hope they make you smile because they capture the essence of your family.

The boys were so cute about letting their parents kiss :)...

It was important that they get some fun images of the 2 of them...

I LOVE the one with the boys hiding their faces while the parents kiss...

The many faces of these sweet boys...

I adore this shot! I think Katrice got a canvas of it for Christmas presents...

We ended up having a snack at a beignet shop...

Bubble blowing contest...

Before and After...they did some serious damage :)

The boys took a moment to wrestle...

My FAVE shot from the day!

I was beginning to think that this session was NEVER going to happen...It got rained out and then they got sick and THEN on the third time we made magic!

They are such a fun family.  I love that I get to meet new families with my job.  We played, and twirled, and even ate some sweet treats.  Gracia (pronounced Gray-sha) is SASSY...and full of energy and love.  She was working all her best moves.  She told me that she learned them from watching Americas Next Top Model :).   

Roger and Wendy, you are so in love and have done such a wonderful job with Gracia.  Thank you so much for allowing me into your life for a moment to capture it.  I hope your love grows stronger with ever day and I wish you years and years of love!

We went to a little cafe on the square in Canton...I love the top shot of Gracia stealing the pastries.

Like every little princess in training she loves to play dress up and twirl :).

Her breakfast was lipsmacking yummy...

She LOVES her daddy and he ADORES her...

You can just tell that they have such a sweet relationship

And they are so in love...

My FAVE shot...

The lighting in these...to die!

She was showing me some of her ANTM moves in the one on the right...

Another FAVE...
