Bridals | Kayla

Towards the end of the Summer, I was able to photograph my very first bridal session!  I was so excited!  I knew the bride-to-be was going to knock it out of the park because she was gorgeous, sweet as can be, & up for anything!  I was so thrilled (like a kid on Christmas morning!) to finally share some images once she tied the knot two weeks ago.  Kayla, can you believe you have been a wife for TWO weeks already!?  I can't!

#thankfulthursday

Wow.  That's all I can say!  I just realized that my Facebook page hit over 500 likes this week!  It may not seem like a lot to some, but that is a huge (say it like Donald Trump!) number to me!  I seriously can not thank yall (yes, I am from the South & will always say that) enough.  I can't thank God enough!  This whole process has amazed me.  I am still growing & learning, & I never want to stop doing so.  Each session that I do is completely different from any previous session.  I learn something new about you & myself.  I have always had the creative bug in me, whether it be crafting, decorating, or taking pictures.  I love creating things & I love giving, so with this little photography business of mine, I am able to do both!  It's a blessing to give images to someone that they love & appreciate.  I am my own worst critic.  Isn't that usually how it goes?  So it seriously warms my heart to see someone get excited about pictures that I took of them!  Thank you ALL so much for putting your time & faith into me!

Madison turns two!

Oh sweet little Madison recently turned two!  She is so full of life at such a young age already.  She is so sweet & so much fun!  Her party was a barn yard theme.  If you know her family, then you know the theme fit them like a glove!  We took her pictures at a local barn.  She had so much fun playing with her animals & tractor!

Three generations!

Special Announcement!

2016 is definitely the year of babies!  Helping Garet & Halee announce their sweet news to the world was my third pregnancy announcement of the year.  They are such a sweet & adorable couple!  Our session almost didn't happen due to rain, but thankfully it stopped raining just in time.  I love the way the pictures turned out & that they made their announcement their own.  Congrats, you two love birds!

Sydney

Sydney is such a beautiful & sweet young lady!  I have known her since she was a little girl.  She comes from such a wonderful family & has a bright future ahead of her!  Sydney & her family currently live out of state, but when they were home recently we were able to get together!  We even snuck her best friend in for a few pictures!

Family | Shoaf

The Shoaf family is just one of those families that you automatically love to be around.  The parents are so cute together, & the kids are so well behaved!  They're just so precious.  We ended up having to break their session into two days.  Not even twenty minutes into the first session I said, "is that wind that I hear?... I really hope that's not rain coming...".  Then the rain started pouring!  

I am so in love with this picture!  You can just feel the happiness & love!

Handsome little model!
