Coy & Kaylee!

Here is to impromptu photo shoots with two of the most adorable kids on this earth rock. A few weeks ago I took some candid shots of Coy and Kaylee during a family trip to the beach. We go to Carolina Beach often and each time we try to sneak in our favorite foods no matter what time frame our stay encompasses. If you knew my family you would know that about 80% of our trips or vacations (or life, probably) revolve around food and getting ready to go get food. Where to eat and what to eat. So, one of our signature stops is always Squigly's for ice cream. Which they have in abundance offering over '4,050 flavors'! Below you will see how Kaylee's hair is an example of another kind of squigly. Maybe we should stop eating there so often.

Coming soon...Zack and Jemissa's wedding...

Amanda & Joe! - Got Married, Don't Ya Know? - May 23rd, 2009

It was an awesome weekend in Westpoint, NY. What a beautiful place! This was where Amanda and Joe met years ago while both of their families were stationed there. Amanda is one of four sisters in her family and I am so lucky to call them friends. They are a spirited bunch and there was definitely not a lack of good times and funky dance moves!

Here are the photos from their gorgeous reception. The reception hall was overlooking the Hudson!

My favorite part of the reception was the Father/Daughter dance. It started out slow and sweet like this . . . .

. . . and then the real moves came out as "Gettin' Jiggy With It" came blasting out of the speakers. It was truly amazing!

What a wonderful evening! I love you girls! Congratulations to Amanda and Joe!

Welcome to the Family! - Janet & Rodger - May 16th, 2009

This was one of the most important and special days of my entire year this year. My little sister Janet got married to her childhood sweetie Rodger! We've lived down the street from Rodger and his family since we moved to NC in 1992. After high school we all kind of dispersed and went our own ways but then, almost two years ago, Janet and Rodger crossed paths again! Now the rest is history!

Obviously I couldn't take pictures the whole day because walking down the aisle with a camera in my hand would be a bit strange. Although some wouldn't be surprised. However, I did sneak quite a few detail shots. I was so honored to stand next to her as the MOH, and I only teared up twice! She was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen! I love you Janet and Rodger! Welcome to the family!

Beautiful.

The most precious flower girl, Kayleigh!

UPDATE!

It has been nearly 8 MONTHS since I posted anything! Truth be told, I've been wildly busy this year and thankfully that granted me some excellent opportunities to shoot some fabulous events! This is a warning that I have a few many posts that are about to explode onto this blog site.

Also new is that I have finally hunkered down and made a commitment to this business, so I purchased a website which is currently in bloom. I will lead you to it as soon as it is finished! I am working diligently to get it perfect and ready to show off to you!

Things you have to look forward to:

Detail shots from Janet & Rodger getting hitched in May!

Amanda & Joe's Wedding Reception!

Jemissa & Zack's Wedding shots from LAST WEEK!

Also some beautiful kid shots and pet shots

I'll throw in two extra bonus sweet pictures today of what I've been up to all summer!

I spent a majority of my summer dealing with kids like this...

...at Camp Dixie. Actually that's my dear sweet friend Rachel, who was in one of the weddings that is to come on my blog! She's not always portraying her alter ego as she is above, but I couldn't resist. :)

Below is a picture from the beach. Who knew something so scary could be so lovely? Can you guess where I am?

I hope you all forgive my long absence. No? Well, just keep checking back to see the new things I have coming up! I promise you'll forgive me soon enough. ;)
