Alyssa and David are Engaged!

I have known Alyssa FOREVER and she has always been one of my very favorite people. I have heard so much about her fiance David and finally had the pleasure of meeting him today! He absolutely could not be more perfect for Alyssa! He kept her giggling the whole session and kept telling her he loved her to make her smile. They are just head over heels for each other and I couldn't be happier for Lyss! I wish you two a lifetime of love for each other! Keep God in the center always. Muah!

Here's a lookie loo into the shoot...

(This first shot I just had to try after seeing one of my fav photog's Rachel from Florida do something similar. As we were strolling along downtown, we came across this alley and thought it would be perfect!)

I Gotta Getaway...

We just got back from a quick mini-trip to Graeagle CA. We had lot-o-fun hanging out by the pool, riding horses, fishin' and Jordan played a golf tournament with his two favorite "Papaws"! It was such a great week spent enjoying old fashioned fun in the sun!

Wake Up! Wake Up! First Day of School!!

Is it just me, or did summer go by WAY too fast! Last Monday was Jordan and Makenzie's first day of school and they were so excited! You should have seen them the night before carefully laying out their clothes that they were going to wear, loading up their new backpacks and filling their lunch boxes with food for the day. (If only they could be this organized all year!!) Jordan is a BIG 5th grader now and Makenzie is in second grade. My babies are GROWING UP! If any of you have found a way to slow this process, please let me know!

Here are some "cheese" moments before they got sick of me being in their face with a camera.

With your package you will receive 25 press printed holiday cards of your choice and (1) 11x14 print of your choice. (additional prints are available for purchase as well as perfect gift items for your loved ones!) After Sept. 26th the price goes up to $295.

I Know it Sounds Crazy, But...

I know it sounds crazy to start thinking about Christmas when the kids just started school......but I wanted to make you are aware of some Christmas deadlines!

• November 10th- Deadline for holiday sessions with orders for Christmas
• December 8th- Deadline for all holiday sessions

If you would like to have any of your images for Christmas or Christmas cards press-printed by me (see the Samples section for what I offer below), you must schedule your session before November 10th. If you are only interested in purchasing a digital negative for printing your own Christmas cards, then you must schedule your session before December 8th.

I will not be offering full sessions after December 8th so be sure to plan ahead!

J's Class of 2008 Senior Portraits!
