Amber & Conrad: Engaged!

This North Carolina couple are perfectly sweet together and I enjoyed their company immensely. Amber is the outgoing talkative one and Conrad is the shy, more laid back kind of guy who just watches her with the kind of glances that make your guts smile. Both of them were raised here in MS but made NC their home after the groom-to-be was released from duty from the United States military. The day was incredibly hot but these two troopers made the best of it and as a reward, I took them to a few local fountains to cool off. Can't wait to shoot their wedding in Natchez later this year and to post Amber's Bridals which are gorgeous! In the meantime, enjoy these few sneak-peeks at the future newlyweds and as always, please leave behind your thoughts!

DiDi's Bridals!

Derrith (or DiDi to those who know her personally) was an incredibly beautiful bride with one of the most gorgeous wedding gowns I have ever seen. Her bridal shoot day turned out beautiful after almost two full weeks of rain and so, this session was extremely precarious. I had legs covered in mud and took my little car muddin' up a rather steep hill sliding left and right the whole way. DiDi however, came out unscathed and looked like an angel amongst all the fresh greenery that was out. It also seemed to be fate that her bridals were shot at the same location her groom-to-be had scheduled their rehearsal dinner and she had no idea! I can't wait to get some of their wedding shots posted but in the meantime, feast your eyes on these. The new Mrs. Daniel Tyler Ellis is an absolute bombshell!

Azlyn & Anzly

These girls are living dolls. I plan to photograph them for as long as I'm in the business. I love them like they're my own two nieces and was so glad their mom handed them over to me for this shoot as we welcomed summer in with a stomp about an old abandoned warehouse building. Though Azlyn (the oldest), wasn't in the greatest mood for photos, I actually got her to help me out with baby sister Anzly whom I watched take some of her first few steps! With these two, what you see is what you get and what you get is pure entertainment. LoL* Enjoy the photos and as always, please drop me a line. I love hearing what you think.

Megan & Jesse's Engagement Shoot

This had to be one of the earliest shoots I've ever done but I have to say, the light for the morning was incredible and these two looked as fresh as Spring for their photo-op. Megan is an absolute sweetheart - I don't know if I've ever met a more true blue Christian girl. Her fiancee is one lucky man. Jesse made me laugh with his attempt at a "tough" exterior as he picked wildflowers for his future wifey and helped her up and down the many landscapes we shot on. I can't wait to do Megan's bridals next and look forward to their upcoming nuptials this July.

Greg & Lauren Fairey's Wedding

When Lauren called to tell me she was planning a small outdoor wedding I immediately knew I wanted to say yes. Not only is shooting outdoors my favorite way to photograph but her story intrigued me. She and her fiancee Greg were getting married and bringing each of their two children together. Now this isn't so out of the ordinary but what I did find really cool, is that their children are all within a few months of each other beginning with Hamp, Walker, Britton and finally, little Cora. I love their names by the way.. The sun was unusually high for the day but it was beautiful outdoors and you could tell the kids felt electricity in the air as they raced about the house playing with the new kittens and dodging aunts, uncles and grandparents. Lauren was a beautiful bride, (you can see where Cora gets her gorgeous face) and the boys shared the honor of standing in as witnesses beside Greg who had an enormous smile on his face for the entire service. Congratulations to this new family. I wish them a 100 more years of health, happiness and blessings and thank them again for letting me be a part!

Gatlin Family Portraits

The Gatlins arrived ready for their shoot with Emma who was 150% from the start, Adria whom had just woken up from a nap and wasn't so keen on the whole photo-op idea and little Cade who was just happy to be there. Joel and Emily have three very different children and I enjoyed capturing each of their personalities in every single frame. Joel pastors a local church in Foxworth, MS and if you spend anytime around him or his sweet wife you'll know you're in the company of true Christians which is a true treasure in times like these. Below you'll find a look at their beautiful family that I was so blessed to photograph this week.

Class of '09 - Colton Pittman

Colton Anthony Pittman was my 5th Senior photoshoot this month and I'm still just as excited about capturing them as I was my first. Colton wanted to get some photos next to this old creek that has a sandy bank and so now thanks to him, I now have a new location to create pictures. Our hour long shoot afforded me the opportunity to learn all about Colton's plans to pursue a career in the medical field, as his father has, where I trust he'll find his place and do very well. I also got to watch some of his tennis moves and the boy definately has talent. Check out some of his photos below and as always, I'd love to hear from you on my blog so leave me a line!
