Father and Son Bowl 2010

Today, my church had its first Father and Son Bowl. There were about 30 men and boys out there to play football and have fun in the Lord. Everyone had a great time! Have you ever noticed how people come out of their shells during sporting events? I have and it was especially noticeable today. Great job Lamarius and Men's ministry. This should become an annual event. Glad to be a part of it.

Baby Shower for Kaysha

My little sister, Kaysha, is pregnant with the first niece, grandchild for my family. Difficult circumstances can bring families closer together or tear them apart. In our case, it seems it is bringing us closer together, which is a great thing. Yesterday, I had a baby shower for her and my future niece, Makaiya Danielle. Starting to get excited and a little spend-happy the closer we get to the due date, which is in a few weeks. Can't wait to meet her!

Family Fun

Recently, I was given the privilege of shooting one of my co-workers. She was my teacher's aide a few years ago and I miss having her (not that I don't like the ones I have now). We tried several times this year to get these family pictures done, but weren't able to until November. We were able to get lots of family shots. I was even able to take pictures of Connie's daughter and her boyfriend. Thank you Connie and family for giving me the opportunity to take your family photos! I had a good time!

Ruby Red Slippers

Earlier this year, I took engagement pictures of April and her fiance. They were married this October 17. She asked me to take some casual shots of her in her wedding dress. She had some very creative ideas and a pair of beautiful ruby red shoes. I loved these shoes so much I want a pair for myself. She also wanted some pictures with her favorite 4 legged family members. It was a fun day! Thanks April!

Newlyweds and Puppies--Oh My!

Earlier this year I took engagement pictures for this couple. Since then, they have tied the knot and are starting their new life together as husband and wife. I was asked to take some pictures of their little family. Their little family includes their "baby," Jilly. Jilly is a long haired chiuahua and at times, can have a very princess attitude. Jilly now has a young niece named Mia, a chiuahua and daschund mix. Jilly is set in her ways and Mia just bounces around everywhere. It was quite a day taking these pictures to say the least!

My Favorite Little Model and his Family

Well, I have taken pictures of little Sean many times(as you have seen on this blog). He's usually very cooperative and friendly...until this time. He did not want to do anything but run around, which is typical 2 year old behavior. The difference this time was that Daddy was with us. They wanted to get some family pictures before Daddy leaves for Iraq for a year or longer. There's something about a father with his son that is so special and I tried to capture that during this session. Thanks G family for the workout!

It's a Family Affair!

So, this weekend I went to Kentucky to take pictures of my cousin and her family. We tried to take pictures on Saturday, but it was freezing. "A's" lips turned blue from being so cold. So we tried again today, which worked out sooooo much better. We ended up with some great shots-family and of the girls. A and E, I hope you enjoy your pictures and your CD is in the mail!
