Mandy, Amber, and Ben | Family Photoshoot

2009-05-28T10:18:00.001-05:00

Wow, These kids were such a blast. I love them so mucho!

Mandy, Amber, and Ben are my cousins, and we always have so much fun whenever we are together.

Closer to the end of this Session, Uncle Jimmy came out to make the girls laugh, and I made him jump in a few of the photos. He is one of my biggest supporters, and I love him soo much. He's taught me alot about managing my business and how to make it profit, and just so many things that would have taken me years to learn on my own....Way too cool....

2009-05-05T13:12:00.000-05:00

Devin you rocked this session.

We went out and took some crazy senior photos, and I had the most fun with Devin that I've had in a while. He was so creative, and open to any suggestions that I had. Needless to say, we went all out.

This is quite possibly my favorite shot of the day. I reminds me of a Dr. Suess Book. I love it!

Heck yes we did that!

Technically that was alot of photos for one post, but how could you narrow them down? He totally rocked!

Happy Birthday Denise!!! :)

Whitney and Dennis | Married :)

2009-03-15T23:34:00.000-05:00

Ok, it's been a reaaaaallllly long time since I had the chance to do a wedding. So that gives me an excuse to post this mad insane amount of photos in this post.

Whitney is one of my best friends ever! Her husband is in Korea right now, and he came home for a little while just to get married, and then off again. This couple is amazing, and their families were Awesome! It was such a great day for them, and for me. I had a blast!

So here it is, what you've all been waiting for!

Her dress was a stunner!

This is a shot of my best friend Shanay and one of the brides maids.
She was my assistant for the day, and we had such a great time.
I had to get a shot of her showin off her skills.....

STUNNER!!!

I love this shot! Bow ties are killer!

This shot was sooo lucky. Everyone was praying for the couple, and I just happened to look over at Whitney's brother and when he saw me we laughed and I got this shot just as they ended the prayer.

The reception was first class, at the Art Center in Valdosta.
I has so many detail shots. Everything was Awsome Sauce!

One of my favorite shots here, I just love her face and the way she stopped and looked at me, you can just tell how Amazing she felt at this moment in time, with all them crazy women in the background!

I think this is one of my favorite shots of all time with Whitney's mom in the background. After the wedding she came up and hugged me and told me how happy she was. That's how I know that what I do is the greatest job in the world!

Leave some comments if you love.

I also have an engaugement session that will melt your flesh. So Check back later this week to be burned!

Cynthia and her two brothers.

2009-02-25T23:48:00.000-06:00

Cynthia and her brothers were so much fun!

We did these right before Christmas for her parents, and when her mom got her 30 x 40 print, she was so excited she cried. To me, that's what it's all about. I love making people happy!

Here are a few from they're session, that rocked.

Cynthia is one of my BFF's at the Smokn' Pig. I was so excited to do her photos.

Well, leave some love, comment at the bottom.

My life be like....

2009-01-12T01:05:00.000-06:00

So Mostly I have only used my blog for my photography, and just every now and then showing off a few photos, but beginning today, that's over.

No I don't mean that my blog is over. I mean that this is where I am going to "Express" myself. I'll be talking about more than just photography, although I hardly talk about much more than that. Haha.

So let me just start off with a few things that should be understood, that way when I got off on random babblings, it will give you a better understanding of what Im talking about :)

I am 23 year's old.

I work at a restaurant called "Smok'n Pig" Um, yeah it is spelled like that. But its a really great place to work, until I can get my business off to being full time. I will probably talk about it alot. I actually had taken photo's for their website, and then when we were voted Top 4 in BBQ restaurants in the NATION 4 months after we opened, I had my first photo published in a national magazine! I'll have to show that sometime soon.

I love my church. I really do.

Im really a blessed person. I'm not into the lucky thing.

I can always think of something to say until I sit down to write a blog, then my mind goes void. Haha.

I have really great parents. My mom is really funny, and my dad is coolio too.

Probably my best friend in the world is David. I was thinking earlier this week, how It's so cool that the two people (David and his wife Denise) that I look up to, has suddenly become my best friends. I love their kids sooo much, and if you've followed my blog any period of time, you can tell.

So this month I have been reading a book by Dave Ramsey called" More than Enough" and it talks about Vision. He mentioned that to get to your Vision, you have to break your vision down into steps called "Goals" and then work your way toward that vision. So for 2009, I am taking on some a New Vision. I'm setting some new goals, and working my way toward them. This is a new year, and I'm ready for a new me, and better me, and the person that I want to be.

Debbie and Christina | Brother/Sister Christmas Shoot!!!

2008-12-31T14:21:00.000-06:00

This month has been wild!!! I hope that everyone had a great holiday. I sure did.
Christmas day I went over to my cousins house and we formed a rock band named " DEEP FRIED MASSCERA" hahaha. We played Rockband for hours, and ate tons of candy.

But anyway, the point of this post was Christina and Debbie's photos. I did a double brother and sister photo shoot and it was crazy awsome! These kids are really cool, and Debbie and Christina are some of my best friends.

So anyway, World, here is Debbie and Christina, Co-Starring their brothers.

First up Christina and Bro.

I love this photo extra! Christina didn't have anyone to baby sit, so she
brought along her pup! It was so fun!

Now, Debbie and her brother.
Debbie is also on the fast track to being an Interior Designer.

Hello World, Joshua is here!

2008-11-20T23:41:00.000-06:00

The past two days have been amazing!

Joshua finally arrived. Wednesday morning at 7:37am, he was 7lbs 10oz.

It was such a great experience to be there with my two best friends and share one of the happiest moments in their life. I was right by David's side until he walked into the delivery room. It meant so much to me to be able to experience this INSANELY awsome time with them.

There was so much joy!

I really want to share with you a small documentary of Joshua's life.
All two days so far. I promise though, there will be much much more to come.

This is how the day started...
Denise taking a nap...

Aaron wasn't quite awake yet either.

Then me and David went to the Chapel to pray for a safe
delivery.

After they called David back it was just a few minutes till we were all in front of the nursery. We were so excited!

Before they brought the baby into the room Denise was showing Aaron
a video of the baby on her camera.

Then we got him. Haha, he's soo sweet.

I love this one, I love how it reminds me of Gods miracles
and how much he loves us.

Such a happy Dad.

I have a feeling this one will be blown up for canvas town!

OMG, isn't it so great!

David and Denise, I can't explain how special I feel just being a part of
your lives. Thank you for giving me such a special place in your family.

I did want to show you one last thing....
David kept mentioning how similar some of the pics were that we got of Aarons birth.

Doesn't this look kinda familiar?
Joshua:
Aaron:

Stay tuned, your mind will be blown to see what all I have coming up!

2008-09-26T20:25:00.001-05:00

OK, so I KNOW I haven't posted any pictures here in quite a while, so I am quite SURE some have forgotten I exist, but it's me MOM.

My two new favorite pics. Ever.

They should be pretty self explanatory.

YOwZa!

Best birthday ever!

2008-09-24T00:49:00.000-05:00

Yeah, I had it today.

I thought it was going to be extra lame cause I had to work and all. But much to my surprise, It was about the best ever.

Last year I had the best ever, until this year.

Last year was really fun. David grilled out, and his Denise made the best baked beans ever, and my Denise made Pelican cake for me!!! (haha, yeah Pelican cake....)

It was great. Im not the kind that likes to go out, or party or whatever for my birthday, I just use it as an excuse to spend another day close to the people I love.

But tonight was cool. I was so surprised this morning, when I got up and Scarlett Lillian had left me a facebook comment telling me happy birthday! It was great!

Then tonight at work David and Denise came in with Aaron, and sat at my table. I was so suprised. They brought me CUPCAKES!!!!! SEE!!!!

haha, I didnt have my camera since I was working, and the birthday one's got eaten
before I could get them home to take pictures of.

But that totally surprised me/made my night. Aaron was so sweet. He got so excited when they would go out to other peoples tables, and sing happy birthday. He just squealed!

Anyway, after we closed, me and my homegirl Shanay, decided to split a shrimp platter for my birthday meal, and while we were sittin at the table, Mr. Ray came over there and was like," What are you two doin? Your supposed to be working and ......" and while he was talking, all the girls started clapping, and screaming came over there, and Mr. Ray started smiling.... they had bought me a cake! I couldn't help it. I was sooo surprised, and I just smiled and smiled. They sang the birthday song to me, and all of them hugged me, it was soo cool!

I had a little piece of cake left......

oh yeah, It was a Superman cake!!
(but this was my favorite part of it)

Here is the card Aaron got me !!!

Look at his little scribble!

And the coolest t-shirt ever!

My fathead! haha.

Thanks to my moms mad photo skills, I really liked this one!

So thanks guys for everything. I was soo blown away by all the love shown to me today. I love you all so much.

shain.

Summer and Chad. love.

2008-09-20T01:18:00.000-05:00

Ok, so I just finished up this semester at school, and I decided not to go back till after Christmas, because, well I'm just basically tired of it. Haha.

So no don't think I'm going to quit school and never go back, Pleeeeease. I've only been going 3 straight years. I'm kinda obligated to finish.

Anyway, that's what caused the delay. (stoopid school) haha.

But NOW I want you to meet Summer and Chad. Summer is Denise's good friend, and speaking of school, She just finished college. She is now a Teacher. I think that teaching is seriously one of the most rewarding careers, outside of wedding photography, haha. And Chad....one of the Coolest Cops around, was so much fun.

Honestly this couple is such a blessing. They are one of the FIRST couples in my book, and I'm so excited about their wedding. It's going to be so cool!

Well enough said,

World, this is Summer and Chad.

I love this one. They were made especially for each other.

One of my favorite shots EVER!!!!

WOW!!!!!!
I know, I know, stick your face in a bucket of water, cause your eyes are ON FIRE! I told you, they're hot! Haha.

Summer and Chad, you guys rock! I can't wait for your wedding, and to see what God does in your life. I'm so glad I got to meet you two, and Denise says Hi! We will def get together and have a cookout soon!

Everyone else. I got something for you too. I can't wait to show you the Carter's maternity session. They are honestly my greatest friends in the world, and to be chosen to do their maternity photos is a really great honor.

So until I can get those finished and up on here......Check this out......

Alright, time for some action!

2008-09-16T22:18:00.000-05:00

I just officially started my in-between-semester break!

Which means, some really awsome stuff comming up, before the end of the week, you will behold the most gorgeous Summer, and fearsome Chad, I can't wait to show you the rest of their awsome engagement session.

I also have a maternity session of my favorite people in the world. That will be stinking aw-aw-awsome!!!!!!!

And I seen this today and thought I would share it with you, Since sharing is caring, and I def care....

This is halarious.
