An Amazing Day

This past weekend, I shot a wedding that was amazing in so many ways. The day started off kinda crazy but it isn't a wedding until there is some kind of craziness thrown into the mix. But Linzie was cool, calm, and collect. She handled everything thrown her way like a pro. From people being late to zippers being broken. But said and done, Linzie and Steven's day was amazing. I got to experience something amazing and I owe it to Linzie. The church that my grandparents got married in burned down but they built another church right next to it. I had never known that part of the one that burned down still stood until Linzie told me. So, when we pulled up to the church my eyes teared up. I lost my grandfather this summer and it meant that much more to me. As we took pictures inside the old church I recognized it from my grandparent's wedding pictures. I was so happy that I got see where my grandparents started their life. So Linzie, I just wanted to say thank you for that small little gift. The picture I am posting is in front of the church that burned. I hope you find it as beautiful as I do.

Lauren and Chealen!

This past sunday I had a session with 2 very special people. My husband and I have known Lauren and Chealen for the past 4 years. Lauren was one of my sorority sisters and also one of my roommates and Chealen is one of my Husband's fraternity brothers. So, it is really neat to see them engaged and about to get married! Lauren and Chealen have been dating for quite sometime (since early high school I think). So it is my duty to say..... About time!!!!!! lol. When talking to Lauren about what kind of pictures she and Chealen wanted she requested shooting in the fall for the colors. So I knew I wanted to take them to Monte Sano Mountain! It's absolutely beautiful this time of year. When starting the shoot I wasn't sure how it was going to go but I did know it was going ot be interesting. Through out the entire shoot I was laughing so hard that I cried! I have never met a more hilarious couple, which made shooting them all the more fun. I am so excited about their pictures and can't wait to get more up to show you! Lauren, Chealen.......... I hope you enjoy!!!!

Fall and Family!!!

I had the pleasure of shooting this beautiful family this past Saturday. Jim and Lynn came to me wanting a picture of them with their grandkids. When Saturday rolled around everyone realized how big of a challenge this could be. But, I think everything went great and the kids looked adorable in their matching outfits.
