Virginia Pate B-sesh

April 29, 2009

Virgina met me at the studio Monday for her Bridal session. We started in the studio, then went out to her home to shoot some outdoor images as well. Virginia has such a classic look- beautiful!!! Her dress was so pretty, and very special also- part of it was her mothers - I loved it!  I can’t wait to show some of her bridal session images, but after the wedding!!!

The Osteen Family

April 28, 2009

Well after being rained out TWICE- Ifinally got to shoot the Osteen Family! haha!  They have a great wheat field right across the street from their house- which served as a perfect setting for pictures!

Savanah + Jimmy: E-sesh

April 26, 2009

Savanah and Jimmy are getting married later this year in Boykin, at the Swift Creek Church. Such a simple, beautiful old church-  So they decided to go to Boykin for their engagement session also.   I absolutely loved this location- everywhere you look there is beauty of some kind- old barns, fields…

Oh- and girls, future brides- listen up: Savanah is the awesome makeup girl I am always talking about. She does an AMAZING job (just check out her makeup in this session!). So if any of you need your makeup professionally done for your Bridal session or Wedding day (or both!), give her a call! You can find her at N Salon and Spa on Bultman!  She has done several of my brides this year, and they have all looked absolutely amazing!

anderson_herod0457Charlotte and Ben were married on April 4th in Manning.  This was an especially fun wedding for me, because this is my family- and so I knew most of the people there!   And I also went to highschool in Manning, so I knew a lot of other guests as well. 

Charlotte and Ben are such a fun couple, and so in love- which was even more evident when they lovingly smashed cake in each other’s faces! haha! I must say I didn’t see that coming, but I loved it- it made for a great shot! !

Anyway- congrats to you both, your wedding was beautiful, and may you have a long, happy life together!

Ashley Atkins B-sesh

ashley_bridal00671What a beautiful bride! I love the locations Ashley chose for her portraits- The horse shoe, for the more “traditional” images and the Vista, which had such an…. urban-y, fashion-y feel! Yes of course those are real words! haha!

 

There was also a third location…. but we will leave that as a secret for now- check back after her June wedding to find out!!

Lauren & Chas

untitled-14Lauren Bostic called me a few weeks ago to schedule a session for ahe and her brother. They wanted some pictures to surprise their parents- what a great idea! Again, we headed to the country in search of some fields!! There is nothing quite like the green color that you get in these fields to really make a picture “pop”!  THey also brought along their dogs for some fun too! They were soo cute!!
