Deanie & Jon [May 2009]

I had the privilege of working with this great couple last month! Deanie was my best friend through out high school! She was a great friend and got me through soo much in those last few years! High school would have been a totally different place with out her!
Jon was getting ready to deploy so I offered to take some pictures for them! They were great together! He was sooo sweet to Deanie! I loved seeing her so happy! I can't wait to see what the future holds for these two beautiful people!!

[Thank you Deanie for all of the adventures! You're amazing and I am soo happy for you! Hope you like them!]

Leslie & Family [April 2009]

This gorgeous family is the 3rd and last of the mini shoots I did at the Cape Fear Botanical Gardens in April! You might remember their Son, Carmine... I did some indoor pictures of him back in February!
Leslie and her husband were married in the gardens in front of the gazebo so this was neat for them to be back there with their son! I hope to get them all back out there later in the summer to get some neat shots of them in front of the gazebo once I get my new lens!
But for now I hope that they love these pictures. I felt like going a little old school on these ones. I did a cool vintage on these and fell in love with the colors! You can see the rest of the shoot and the regular edits on my MySpace page!

Allison & Family [April 2009]

This is the second family from the three mini shoots that I did back in April! They were such a great family! My daughter was with me for the shoot and neither of these little girls were in a good mood! But they were great sports and we pushed through and got some great shots! I promised Allison that I would have these done and in the mail to her by today and I'm so happy that I actually have them finished! It was so hard to choose which pictures to put on the blog! If you want to see all of them you can check out the full album on my MySpace page! I hope you guys love them! Thank you so much for the practice! You are a beautiful family:)

Lindsey & family [April 2009]

I hadn't planned on doing any shoots after Thomas left but couldn't really resist doing pictures for these families! So I squeezed 3 mini-shoots into the last weekend I was in Fayetteville!I shot all 3 at the Cape Fear Botanical Gardens. It's free admission for the whole month of April so half of the city was there! And I spent most of my time dodging wedding photographers and their brides!It has taken me forever to get through the pictures and get them edited since I'm taking classes here in Jacksonville and taking care of Lily but I finally finished the first family:)Lindsey and her family were great to shoot! They are beautiful and were so patient with me!Their son, Benjamin is 6 months old and was so precious! I loved his bald head:)I am sorry that it took me this long to get these to you, but I hope you love them as much as I do! Thank you for coming out and putting up with me and Lily! I really appreciate the practice!

Katie::JHS Senior [March 09]

Katie is graduating from Jacksonville High this summer! Her mom is a teacher at my baby sister's Elementary school! I was so thankful that they gave me the opportunity to do her senior pictures! Katie was a blast! She wasn't shy at all and was up for anything! Unfortunately there wasn't much to be up for since the area we were shooting at was under construction and there were people and trucks everywhere! But I am still really happy with the shots I did get and hope that Katie and her mom are too! I posted the whole shoot on my new Myspace page [linked over on the right hand side of the page].

Lenay and Family

Again, I wanted to shoot somewhere other than the park! So my friend Lenay and her family agreed to model for me down town! It was the first shoot, in a while, that I had Lily with me and my head wasn't completely in the shooting:( She is the same age as mister Gavin and neither of them were enjoying the chilly weather! But I loved the pictures I got of them! I still have big dreams of doing a sexy shoot with just Lenay and her husband sometime this summer and of course, some follow up shoots of Gavin! So stay tuned for those!
