pogue/johnston wedding preview

Part 1 coming soon!!

Coming up soon...

Since I haven't blogged in a month, I figured I would give you guys a major download. I also figured i'd show you a few up & coming shoots that i am just finishing up with. So be on the lookout for...

The Pogue/Johnston Engagement Shoot
(Be on the lookout for their wedding too!!)


The Childs/Coley Wedding
(Lots of candids as I was IN the wedding.)


Florals by Kimberly Nelson
(Fabulous floral designer!!)

Brown Family

The Brown family contacted me about a month ago to have photos made of their 8 year old twin daughters, Elizabeth & Lindsey & their 1 1/2 year old, William. Elizabeth, Lindsey & I had a blast. Poor William just wasn't feeling it. He was WAY more interested in his passy than in me with my silly ole' camera. From what I hear, he was only disinterested in me as he had the girls cracking up in the car as soon as we were done. He did cooperate some in the meantime though & I was able to grab some great family photos. Thanks again Brown family, hope to see you again for photos around Christmas!










(I love this picture, Lisa calls the girls her bookends. :))

Lacy Coley - Bridal

I am a little partial to this bride as she happens to be my little sister. Who isn't so little anymore...



She has grown into a beautiful Proverbs 31 woman who's smile lights up a room...





Who's beauty is not only skin deep...





She is my little sister & I'm sure I could go on & on about her attributes, but i'll just leave you with photos instead. :)


(YES, this was pre-wedding & YES, i somehow convinced her to lay on that dirty dock. :))

DJ & Dani

Really, I don't think there is a more beautiful child out there. (At least not until I have my own that is.) DJ has the most gorgeous green eyes that both of his older sisters are ridiculously jealous of & a fiery little personality that is 100% boy! DJ & his new baby sister Dani, sweetly dubbed "My Princess" by DJ, came by the house to have some relaxed portraits made. So DJ & I spent some time in the back yard making faces at each other...



Then we got side tracked...



Then someone let the dog out & we got all smiley...



And eventually we made our way inside to take some photos with Dani...



And then, like a little bolt of lightning DJ was gone & I had a chance to snap some peaceful photos of sleeping 8 day old Dani...













Thank you Otis family for coming out & letting photograph your little ones. They were a blast!

18 Brides

Yep, you read right - a wedding with 18 brides! When Operation Homefront asked myself as well as 5 other photographers to be a part of this event, I just couldn't refuse. I had a blast at station two doing the bridal couples more relaxed portraits. Remembering the names of one bridal couple is hard enough for me, but 10 different couples came through my station - thank goodness they were wearing their military name badges or I'd have been in big trouble!

Here are a few pictures from the big day, i'd post more, but i am unfortunately insanely behind on blogging!! More from me soon!

Coming up soon...
