Rhett::Park Session

More often than not, I never get to meet clients before their actual sessions...especially families and children. So I never really know what I'm going to be dealing with. I'm sure it's a little freaky for kids to all of a sudden have some stranger stick a big black boxy looking thing in their faces, too. With this in mind, my goal for each session is to just make it as laid back as possible. I try not to schedule sessions back to back so that we're never in a time crunch, I interact with the children for a few minutes before starting so they can get to know me a bit, then I just let the kids do their own thing, while making the parents feel comfortable knowing that we WILL get something usable and hopefully great out of their session.

When I met up with Rhett and his mom, Julie, he was a little shy but such a cutie that I new we would have fun. It took Rhett a good 30 minutes to really break out of his shell but when he did it was fabulous. He was running around laughing, being ornery, exploring, etc. I had a lot of fun shooting him for sure! Rhett's smile and laugh are infectious. Here are some of my favorites from his session.

Foster II

I shot Foster and his super cute cousin, Charcey, a few weeks ago. Click here to see images from that session. Foster was having a bit of an off day that day, though. So his Mommy & I decided that we would attempt to get some more photos of him on a better day. Foster is just too cute! He is a thinker...for sure. You can always see his little wheels turning. We were able to get a few smiles out of him this time though! Here are some images from Foster's 2nd session. Enjoy!

Btw, I know there has been a lack of picture posts lately (which is what you all really want to see). This is because I have been shooting lots of Bridals and I can't post those until after the weddings (otherwise I might have some angry brides on my hands...haha). I have a couple of family sessions, maternity, Engagements, etc... coming soon though. And then the wedding posts will begin! I'll try to stay on top of things and get all of these sessions posted in a timely manner. ;) Peace+Love!

My spirit cannot dance without YOU.

First, I just want to apologize to all of my lovely photographer friends who have been emailing me and leaving comments. I know I haven't been very good about returning your messages. You know I love you though!!! I have been stupid busy with Engagements, Brides, etc. No doubt about it...wedding season is here! I do appreciate all of your encouragement though and will try to do better!

Now on to the reason for this post. I want to share a video with all of my readers. I go to church at Hillside Christian in Amarillo. On a recent Sunday morning they did something called "Cardboard Testimonies". Every time I watch this I am incredibly humbled by these people and their courage and obedience and grateful for God's mercy and grace in my life. I have a cardboard testimony (as we all probably do) but I'm not sure I could share mine with a sanctuary full of people. Could you? Anyway, this video is powerful and the song that Rob is playing in the background is one of my absolute favorites. So, I've also included a video of Jesus Culture playing this song. It's incredible!

Lydia::Senior II

I got to shoot Lydia again. :) The day we had her original Senior session scheduled it turned out pretty cold and windy. Lydia braved the weather to get what we could that day. We decided, though, that we really wanted some sunny warm pictures. So we waited for a clear beautiful day and went out again. Lydia is always fun to shoot. She is up for anything and totally works the camera without having to be directed one bit. She simply rocks!!! I LOVE the images we got from this second session. Here are my favorites...enjoy!

Oh, my lovely husband & I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary today. :) Now before you go thinking about how old I must be to have already celebrated a 7th anniversary...let me tell you I'm only 26. Yep, that means I got married when I was 19! I am blissfully happy with this man. He is more than I ever hoped for in a husband. I am so blessed to have his love in my life. :)
