POSTED IN PERSONAL

Meet one of my dearest friends Jill.  We lived together for 2.5 years in Dallas and I LOVE HER!  She is one of the most amazing, gracious, generous, compassionate, caring, and beautiful woman I know.  Her heart is so big and full of love and she touches every heart she comes into contact with.  She is a woman who seeks God and challenges those around her to pursue Him with their whole hearts.  I could go on and on...here are images from her 30th birthday.

I took some of her as her birthday present and then a bunch of us girls caravaned to Austin, TX for a weekend at the Horshoe Bay resort and spa.  It was a little piece of heaven and we had a blast.  I even did little mini sessions with each of the girls.  Every girl deserves to fee like a supermodel and they WORKED IT OUT for me :).

So...here we go...I've never seen so many beautiful women gathered in one place.  And when I say beautiful I mean from the inside out.  They are gorgeous, sincere, and real.  It was so fun getting to meet each of you.

 

 

We spent some time Friday night shooting at Preston Center in Dallas...

She is stunning!

Mere developed quite a fondness for her nose and glasses...

Some of the girls went on a bike ride...I opted for a massage :). Photos courtesy of Natalie Waggenspack:

There was a red carpet for a wedding, but it was Jill's 30th so she got to work the red carpet.

POSTED IN FAMILIES

I came to MS two and a half weeks ago to take some bookings for a few photo sessions.  I've had a blast since I've been here and I keep booking and booking and booking.  

SO...

...

...

I HAVE SOME BIG NEWS...

...

...

I'M MOVING TO JACKSON, MS!  

Moving back to MS was not even on my radar when I decided to come.  I thought I'd come, take some pictures and then go home to GA.  As I got here and began booking God just began to speak to my heart.  I KNOW His hand is on this and I KNOW that this is where He wants me.  I'm scared and nervous and excited and hopeful.  Most of all, I just feel blessed to be going and doing what God asks of me.  My roots are here...I'm coming home MS...are you ready for b. mo?  :).

I thought I'd share some teasers with the fabulous families I've been shooting.  Thanks guys for trusting me!

 

 

 

The Barnette's

Isn't she adorable.  She's a little rockstar.  She LOVES the camera...

I LOVE that Tommy and Suzanne wanted to give me an "almost kiss" after so many years of marriage.  They're hot and they've still got it :).

Hi, I'm going to be the next Hannah Montana and this will be my album cover.

And I'm a Gap model...

No, I did NOT pose her this way.  She's just that good.  America's Next Top Child Model will be calling soon :).

The Moores:

Shooting babies and kids comes with occupational hazards...BABY FEVER (and I'm not married so it's not an option) :)

He just melts my heart.  I just want to kiss his sweet face.

She is the spitting image of her mom and gorgeous.  Pretty soon they will fighting those boys off.

His nickname is Smiley.  His laughter was contagious..

I love this shot...They are so sweet with their baby bro...

I kept joking with Jenny that they could use this as their Christmas card pic to show off their new house :).  LOVE this shot.

These two are so in love.  I hope when I'm married that I'm this in love after years of marriage.  Get ready, the hotness conitinues in their full post...

 

 

The Ellingburgs:

Her eyes are so blue...doesn't she look just like a china doll?  She was such a trooper...never cried and it was HOT!

Yes, this family is THIS CUTE.  They were working it for me all day...

Isn't he adorable.  He struck his pose like a little model...

and so did he...GQ may be calling :)

These boys LOVE their grandparents.

I feel like they need to be a family of rockstars and this should be their billboard...

 

 

The Berry's...aka some of my fave people:

This shot...HEART IT!

Really, Ryan and Kellie are smokin' and Truett is their arm candy :)

I fell in love with Truett.  This was my first time meeting him and he stole my heart. I LOVE loving on all my friends babies :)

Okay, I have to say it...Kellie is a hot mom!  She is.  This shot just moves me and is perfection.

I love how happy Tru is and how little he looks in this chair.  He makes me smile!

 

The Hodges:

Love this one...this is so them...

Isn't this lighting yummy?

This NEEDS to be on a huge canvas. He is so fun and full of energy.  He told me at one point "These pictures have taken 5 DAYS. When are they going to be over?".  I just laughed.

Meet Miss Indepenence...Her daddy worked SO HARD getting her to smile.  

The one on the left...there are no words except...LOVE!

 

Stay tuned for the full posts on all of these amazing families and for updates on my BIG MOVE!!!

POSTED IN WEDDINGS

Here we go...this is such a huge post, but I just couldn't decide.  They are so awesome and photogenic and the details were so yummy.  So just sit back, grab a snack and a drink.  Enjoy the images and the slideshow at the end.

 

Details...details...and more details...

Heather shot me and I shot her.  

Get ready for fierceness...

These two know how to work it.  I love every image in this series.

Heather snagged this series.  Brides...2 photogs are better than 1.  The more eyes, the more angles, the more amazing shots!

 

BUT

WAIT

THERE'S

MORE...

...

...

Oh yes, this is happening

 

Ladies and gentleman...this is how you rock a bowling ball.

The ladies...

The gents...

2 of my faves from the day.

My FAVE...I had it blown up to a 16x24 to be framed and displayed.

POSTED IN THINGS I HEART

Yes, the fall fashions have arrived.  Along with fall clothes comes my favorite part of fashion...FALL SHOES!  Here are some of my favorite shoes for this season.  Now if only I owned them :).  

Tip of the day: Brides...don't be afraid to be fearless and rock some rad shoes.  

 

These would be great wedding shoes...

These booties...yes, please I will take one of every color :)

These flats will define the flats of this season...in my opinion...

I heart the textures and simplistic style of these.  Classic with a side of sexy.

MY FAVE....I would live, eat, breathe and die in these shoes if I could.  I am in LOVE!  Thank you Louboutin for being such an artist.

POSTED IN WEDDINGS

Jeff and Cara are one of those couples that you meet and then you smile and then the next moment you're laughing so hard your stomach hurts.  There is so much joy and life in both of them.  

There wedding was so wonderful.  There were lots of yummy details AND a special ending (look forward to that in Part 2 of their post).

Venue: The Alexander Mansion

Hair/make up: Jonas Salon

Flowers: aprilmayjune designs

Dress: Demetrios

The fabulous Heather Thorne second shot with me and hung out with the guys:

I got to hang with the ladies at Jonas Salon.  They did an incredible job with hair and make up!

De-lish details:

Feroche!

Equally Feroche!

My fave bridesmaids shot ever so far.  My take on the Vanity Fair covers.

A little flirty fun

Her parents...her dad just walked into the room and ushered in peace.  It was like nothing I've ever seen.

Her girls praying for her marriage

I cried at this point...She was saying, "I love you" and I just felt the power of their love.  I think my next few shots were blurry due to tears :).

One of the hottest altar kisses I've ever seen...You 2 are SMOKIN"
