Mr. & Mrs. Farr

April 17th dawned with lots of sunshine creating perfect weather for Lorelei's wedding to her groom Tim. Big puffy clouds decorated the sky and provided an occasional break from the heat as they blew by with the breeze. The small ceremony and reception took place on Lake Caroline in Madison, MS and set a perfect backdrop wherein to witness the union of this gorgeous pair. Acoustic music and azealas in full bloom greeted the wedding party and guests as they arrived and the beautiful sounds and sweet smells ushered the bride and groom out to their red Jag to scoot them away to their honeymoon to the breath-taking coastline of the country of Mexico. There is no doubt that these two have a long and wonderful future laid out before them and I wish them all the best in their long life to come.

The Cripps Crew

I can't begin to convey what an honor it was for me to capture this family on my last trip to Texas. Russ, Stephanie, Ragen & Rylee are the coolest of kin. Author of the book, thirtyoneanothers and currently serving at CLC Austin as Associate Pastor, Russ is about to take his chickies (as he often and affectionally calls them) on to an entirely new venture in life as they begin a work in Baton Rouge, LA as pastors of Acacia Church where they will thrive with the idea of rescue and renewal through love and logic. http://www.acaciachurch.com/ I've got a lot of love for this crew and fully believe that they'll succeed in a big, big way. So here are the Cripps - let their smiles make you smile too.

Anzly Conway Is 2

I'm so happy to give my readers a glimpse of this beautiful 2year old. Anzly Grace Conway is one of my favorite babies on the planet. So spunky and mischevious, her big blue eyes twinkled with fun in every shot. I love that Anzly's big sis, Azlyn came along for the shoot and we were able to turn it into a fun night out - ChickFilA, ChuckECheese and all. Enjoy!

Ms. Madelyn Ham

Begged by this priss-pot for the past 6months or more to take her photos, it seemed as if I were gonna miss my opportunity to do just that until Madelyn got permission from her mother to spend a morning with me in leiu of school so that I could grab an hour to capture her photos. Beginning the op in her Easter dress and long curls, this 10year old primped and posed for the camera in the spirit of a true super-model and then let her inner girly side out with a great dress and hair pom-poms for a more playful 2nd half of the shoot and I believe these actually turned out to be some of my favorite. So, I'm pleased to finally share with you a few frames from the morning. I love Ms. Madelyn and, in advance, wish her a very happy birthday coming this May!

Kimberly Leonard Bridals

I first met Kimberly via phone. She had been referenced to me by a friend of a friend and asked me to shoot her bridal shots and along with her wedding. With just a voice to go by, I wasn't expecting the long legged brunette that got out of the car to meet me at Rosedown Plantation just a couple of months ago. Standing around 6'1, Kimberly is a beautiful girl with blue-green eyes (really, one's more blue and the other's more green) and a knock-out smile. Saint Francisville, LA is a quaint, artsy town just about 30 minutes north of Baton Rouge. Filled with plantation homes and giant trees dripping with moss, arriving there almost makes you believe that you've stepped back in time. With spring in full bloom and a soft breeze, we couldn't have asked for a better day to photograph Kimberly and with mom out to help, it made for a very fun afternoon. Married just this past weekend, I can't wait to share some of the beautiful photographs from the big day. For now, here comes [photos of] the bride....

Ashlie McEntyre's Senior Shoot

Though I've got no doubt that these photos could in fact speak 1000 words, I do feel the need to share at least a little blurb about our late afternoon photo-op. Ashlie was up for anything and determined to me that she was going to have the most original Senior portraits and so she let her fashion sense fly. Now I can stand witness to the fact that Ash has the beauty and the personality to rock a paper-sack but even I was a little cautious when she whipped out some of her "hair-ware" for the shoot which included a beaded skull cap her mother bought on a trip to Italy... Um, yeah. She was stunning in that cap and in each of her photos as she posed and cheesed and rocked her fierce face, frame for frame. With an acceptance letter from William Carey, Ashlie says that she still wants to keep her options open and with her talent, I've got no doubt she'll have the future of her choice. Congrats to you Ashlie! The class of 2010 is lucky to count you a part of it.

Michelle Stogner : Class of 2010

Michelle and I had rescheduled her Senior shoot a half a dozen times and I was so relieved we were finally able to nail down a date. Michelle has the most beautiful honey colored eyes and a sweetheart of a face but don't let that fool you. In the time I've spent with Michelle I get the feeling there is a girl with grit under that pretty exterior and I know that with those traits, she'll do well in the profession she's choosing to pursue post-graduation which is Nursing. So enjoy the photos and join with me in wishing Michelle all the very best!
