Weekends ROCK!

Well, weekends like this anyway!

It all started Saturday morning with one of my most favorite families. Matt and Kasay are the most incredible parents to their lovely little Mercer. I photographed Mercer a few months ago as a 3 month old, and to see her on Saturday was such a treat. While she truly still looks exactly the same (see the old blog entries for her 3 month shots) she has really grown in the last three months. She can sit up, wants to stand so bad she can taste it, and she even discovered the feel of grass between her fingers for the first time. As always Matt and Kasay, it was my pleasure to capture your family.

I call this first one my happy accident. I love these little moments that pop up in between photos.

Now, after this fabulous family session, our oldest was in a show at Nuci’s Space. She attended Camp Amped this summer for two weeks where she was put in a band with three other people she didn’t know. Her band, along with 4 others that were formed put on a ROCKIN’ SHOW!!!! I cannot tell you all how much Nuci’s has meant to our daughter and family this summer. If any of you are into music, or donating to great non-profits, I beg you to think of Nuci’s Space!

And then….I get to end the weekend working with a FABULOUS young lady by the name of Kacy. Fun, bubbly, and very charasmatic, Kacy was a joy to work with. She had no objections to doing whatever I asked of her, even if it felt weird and awkward. Even more fun, was the fact that her mom joined us. I just love being able to see the realtionships between teens and their parents. Kacy and her mom’s relationship was obvious……an equal admiration and respect for each other. While they may not always see eye to eye, they certainly always respect, and take into consideration one another opinions. Kacy has grown up to be a beautiful young lady, and with her personality, I am sure will go on to do big things!!!

Again, I am still looking for select seniors to be a part of my new Senior Style. If you know anyone who is interested, please let me know as soon as possible as the available spots are filling up! There is another blog entry that outlines a few of the details!

Has it really been…..

THAT long? I tell you what, summer is NOT a chill time for me. With all 5 kids out of school, there seems to be a never ending pile of dishes, laundry, and things to do. Don’t get me wrong, I love spending the summer with my kids, but that also mean something has to be put on the back burner. This month it was the blog! Sorry about that. But I can assure you, in a few weeks we will be right on back to normal.

Summer doesn’t mean a break in work however! Last week I had a session with two of the cutest little girls! Mary Paige and Addie are just the sweetest sisters ever. While it took Addie a bit to warm up, we finally figured out that all we had to do was play her a lil’ Fergie and we were good to go! Miss Mary Paige was a pro. She didn’t need any help in figuring out how to stand or position herslef, and was the sweetest thing EVER! While I know we all had a good time, I am sure the folks in Doc Chey’s had fun watching me on the sidewalk on my stomach:|

Meet the Nail Family!

Oh my what a wonderful group of people! The twins, Garret and Grayson were so full of life and curiosity. If I could bottle just a piece of their energy, I wouldn’t ever have to worry about being tired! They had their 5th birthday party earlier Saturday and tried to trick me into thinking that they were SIX! Silly kids. While quickly looking through the photos for something that I should put on the blog for you all to see, I couldn’t resist these two photos of the kids. If I could sum Garret up in one photo, THIS would be it. That sly little smirk on the face of an angel. The one that says “You have no idea what I am thinking!” And Grayson! Don’t let those baby blues fool you folks. She has as much spunk and adventure in her as her brother, while maintaining that delicate sense of lady-like attitude. Pulling her photo for the blog wasn’t hard……one of the few without her hiking up her dress to keep it out of the water!

I was so excited when Mary Lynn’s parents asked if they could be photographed while I was there. To see two people still so very much in love after 40 years makes me giddy. I just hope that I still have that look in my eye for Greg that she had yesterday for her husband.

Not just any teacher….

She also happens to be my son’s first grade teacher! This is the Taylor Family. Mrs. Taylor is by far one of the best teachers we have had! If I could write out a wish list of characteristics that I thought one should have to compliment Aiden’s learning style she would encompass them all! Fun does not begin to describe this family. They were all just so great to work with. They are all also very hard working! While they might not know it, I do appreciate them taking time away from their sleep to have me photograph them!
