Aunt Pat's 80th

My husband's Aunt turned 80 this month and I had the privilege of being asked to not only attend, but capture these memories for them. I have now known her for 14 years and couldn't think of any other place I would rather be!


Aunt Pat traveled and lived in many different countries, so they had food made (by her grandchildren) representing the countries. It was phenomenal!




I ADORE this picture! Makes my heart sing.


These are her 3 girls. Her son couldn't make it, but this picture IS THEM so much!


These are Uncle Harold's siblings that could make it to the party.


They brought out a little bitty cake that had EIGHTY candles in it. And then they LIT IT! We were so stinkin scared the alarms were going to go off. But I love that the little boy helping her blow it out is her great-grandson.

Happy birthday, Aunt Pat! Looking forward to many more years of you blessing our lives!

Peyton's 1 Year Pics

Ok...so I work with his Momma and I've seen a picture or 2 of this young man, but I about MELTED when I laid eyes and lens on him for the first time. The hat about did me in!!!


I now want to have 4 just like him!








Bless his momma's heart! All she wanted was some neekey diaper pics of him and this cake and he wasn't having it! But we got some good stuff anyway.

I'm still dreaming of pinching his thighs!

Clay's Senior Session

I have had the pleasure of being a part of Clay's life for quite some time now. Most recently I have had the opportunity to be his youth teacher and I'm just so excited to see what God has for him in his future.








I love ya Clay and hope you have a WONDERFUL senior year!

Johnna's Senior Session

I have had the pleasure of watching this beautiful young woman grow right into her very own person. She was 8 when I first met her. Now, she is a senior! She blesses me and loves me and my family and I'm honored to get to post these here today.







I love you, Johnna! I can't wait to see what God has in store for you!

Sweet Little Timmy

Thursday I had the honor of photographing a darling 72 hour old little boy named Timmy. His family had very little notice that he was going to become a member of this family so in all of this whirlwind we made sure to get some sweet pics of this darling blessing.








Couldn't you just eat him up?!?!?!

Miss Madelyn Faith

Oh. My. WORD!

I could have eaten this sweet girl and her tutu up with a SPOON all day long. We did her 6 month shots in the evening swelter of the south, but she was a trooper and gave us some great shots.

Plus, her momma was doing a MEAN 'boogity-boogity-boo' dance.








I adore her rubberband arms!

And lest you think the heat wasn't just about too much for us all, I'll leave you with my favorite image of the day...



Or...maybe she just couldn't take anymore dancing...

Smith-Guilliams Wedding

I have had the pleasure of watching these 2 crazy kids find each other, fall in love and now marry. It was my honor to be one of the photographers for their wedding.






Her momma lacing her up


they opted to not see each other before the wedding, but there was this lovely moment



His first glimpse of his beautiful bride


Her daddy did the rings




They literally ROCKED down the aisle







She actually had the idea for this pic and I LOVED the way it turned out!

Congratulations, Guilliams! I pray a wonderful future for you.
