Tyler Haynes

He's looking right at mom!

I love this one of David

Since my last post; Tyler was born on the 19th of June and today I got to meet him over at Stacey and Davids. He is so beautiful and extremely alert for a newborn. It was exciting as always to watch a baby and wondering how they really are seeing the world at this stage in life. Tyler is a very good baby and they are so blessed to have him. It was hard to choose from all the images I got today but here are some favorites.

David and Stacey

Sunday afternoon I did a shoot for David and Stacey. She is due with her baby anytime now. It is so exciting to capture the excitement between the two of them. I met them through Katrina and Josh's wedding last November. David is Katrina's brother. I know the whole family is very excited to meet the new family member and pictures are to follow soon!

Bucky and Connie- 50 Years!

Bucky and Connie celebrate 50 years of marriage! These are my parents and role models for life.
I knew I would never find the right card to express how I feel toward them and especially for this amazing day. I went to the Bible and sought truth about them and below is my personalized card to you both.
To Dad and Mom , Genesis 2:18
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.

With Fox and Bear

To Dad: Psalm 1:1-3
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
To Mom: Titus 2:3-5
The aged women likewise that in behavior as becometh holines, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober to love their husbands, to love their children. To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Proverbs 31:10-12
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

I love you both so much. And thank you for an amazing example of marriage!

It was time again this year to cash in on my donation at the preschool. Alicia bid on my photo package and today I got to meet her and her husband Blake and their boys. It was perfect weather out at 8am. this morning. The lighting was beautiful and the kids were ready to go. I think they had a great time today exploring and chasing the birds at the park. I really enjoyed working with you and hope to build a relationship to continue documenting your boys as they grow. It is great when you feel a bond right away with your clients. You feel as though you know them and can really capture their family at their best. Here are a few shots from today.

The Noble Girls

The girls were picked up at school in the Limo!

You gotta love pink:)

The pampering begins!

This station you make your own bath salts!

My client, friend and hairstylist Kim won a terrific prize at a raffle. She won an afternoon for her girls at Sweet & Sassy. This place is a blast! For anyone who has little girls or loves pink; you need to go check it out! Here are some of the photos from that day.

David Greene!

wish you were here Kim!

David on the phone with a bride

This weekend David Greene was in town shooting a wedding. We had the privilege of a phone call saying he was in town and then invited him to join us for dinner last night. We had a barbecue of carne asada, along with sangria, margs and beer. Some southwestern flare for our Canadian friend:) Most of the evening was photo talk which is to be expected. We also engaged in personal conversations that allowed us all to get to know each other on a different level. David is not only a great photographer he is a wonderful man. We sure did miss Kim though last night and hope that next time he is down here that Kim will join him.

BEE'S

Spray

This morning at about 7am. I went to the store. When I walked out my front door I noticed about five bees. I was going to kick them aside when I looked up and saw more bees flying around. So I decided not to bother them and when I got in my car and looked up to our palm tree this is what I saw. I called Billy and had him call a bee keeper. Billy took a few shots of the bees and the man spraying them.

What cute place cards

Every little detail matters

Special notes were passed along behind the scenes

Amanda did a great job picking out her colors

Elvis even showed up!

Last night I had the privilege of shooting with my friend Michell Jonas. It is the first time we shot together other than a studio shoot we did at our church several years ago. The wedding was at the Boojum Tree so I was very happy to join her since I have not shot there yet. Here are some of the shots I got. Thanks Michelle it was a blast!
