Barr Family

What a stunning family! And they were the sweetest to work with. We had a great time and im so pleased with the shots. Here is a sneak peak from our session....

Gw and Christy

This post may be be too long by i dont care- these pictures are too cute and there is definitely a story behind these fun photos!

GW had called me a while back and wanted to book an engagement session for his fiance, Christy's, birthday gift....what he ended up planning was an entire proposal at the session! He called me a few days before to let me in on it and tell me his plans for the shoot. I had never been a part of or gotten to document a proposal so this was really fun for me! I was so nervous though that i would mess it up or get it out of sync somehow from what GW had planned. But I was immediately stoked to be able to freeze this amazing moment for two of them!

The day approached and it was raining off and on but we had already decided rain or shine this was going to happen! :) So we all bring our umbrellas and meet up on the streets of downtown. What GW has planned is that we would start the shoot as normal...and about half way in the shoot we needed to end up at a certain location (that was covered, in case it was drentching us at this point) where he wanted to pop the question. Christy has NO idea still and is just enjoying the fun of the photo shoot....i was beside myself and just kept on clicking to catch the moment. During me posing them for a picture, GW falls to one knee and ask Christy for her hand in marriage. She says YES! :)

Then my job was to play it completely cool and get them over to Main Street to Piero's where GW had set up a candlelit dinner and champagne for the two of them on the balcony to celebrate. Piero's has fantastic art pieces and bright colored walls inside the restaurant so i suggested that we poke our head in there to see if they would let us shoot. The wait staff is completely in on it too and leads us upstairs to the balcony where Christy is then surprised again! Moments later her twin sister and her husband come around the corner to celebrate with them. Aaaaahhhhh....i have the most fun job in the world! Here are a few pics to help complete the story....

Staci

Staci is a senior at Nettleton this year. She was WONDERFUL and so at ease in front of the camera. Here are a few....

Lilah Jane

This was my first session with Lilah and it couldn't have gone any smoother. She was so precious and gave me lots of time to photograph. She fell asleep toward the end of the session so i got to get those sleeping baby shots which i LOVE! How cute is she in that basket! So cute.

Ashlee

Ashlee will graduate from Westside next May. We had a great time on her downtown session! She and her mom, Angie, both have such a bubbly personality which made it so much fun for me on the shoot! Ashlee works in the office at a flying service so we went there for the second half of the session...I love how they turned out! Here are a few...

Baby Cade

Cade was just a few weeks old at his photo shoot. Something so sweet and calming about photographing a newborn. He was so alert and more aware than most. I had a fun time hanging out with him and his parents...here are some of my favorites we got that day.

Ferell Family

I have got so much to catch up on! Lots of fun senior sessions and family portraits to blog about. You would think with all this crazy rain we have gotten lately i would have had time to keep up.....BUT that has not been the case :) I photographed the Ferrell family several weeks ago. Such a sweet family! Their son Camden was a bundle of energy and reminded me so much of my son. He is all boy and loves to tackle!

I love the first clip of him in action! :)
