Shannon Hawley and Allan Henson GET ENGAGED!

I was so excited when Shannon asked me to take her engagement photos! We headed out to the country for this shoot and got lucky with the light! Shannon and Allan were natural models and it shows! I'm really looking forward to their wedding in December!

My niece turns 13!!

My little niece is not so little anymore. She is 13 and entering the world of the teenagers. Although she prefers the term "young adult." For her birthday she had a sleepover party that included make overs and a photo shoot. That is where I came in! Did I mention there were ELEVEN girls and I only had about an hour and a half!? We actually ran from one spot to another at one point. Here are just a few of the shots I got.

First off is the birthday girl herself! She is a pro after all the times I have forced her to be my model!

Next up we have Caylee! She had the model looks down!

Olivia was a hoot and not a bit camera shy!

The next little model is Sydney. What an adorable girl! Oops...I mean young adult....

I was loving Naline's big brown eyes!

I'm really happy that Alex left her glasses on for the shoot! In a few pictures you could see all her friends watching!

There are still a few more girls to add but that will be another day! A big thanks to all the girls for being such wonderful models and not being afraid to lay down on dirt and rocks. :)

Melissa

A huge thank you to Melissa for helping me out yesterday! I am taking pictures of my niece and her friends for her 13th birthday today and was feeling a little out of practice working with people that can actually take direction. My 9 month old doesn't listen very well! In steps Melissa and she did beautifully!

Lil Bit turns 8 months old

It has been a little too long since I have last posted. My little girl is actually 9 months old now but these photos are from the day she hit the 8 month mark! She was not happy to be outside in 100 degree weather. Thank goodness Daddy was around to help get some smiles!
