Allie & Cooper McNab

Over the past weeks the Holy Spirit has been at work in my heart, encouraging me, giving me ideas, and just deepening my passion to learn, experiment, and to glorify Him through this precious art. The day I received a phone call from Shanda McNab, I was filled with Joy. I love photographing children, and she called wanting to hire me to photograph her sweet daughter Allie(4) and her son Cooper (1). As I started to pray and think about her session the Lord stirred this excitement in my soul- I knew this session was going to be special, and it was. The moment I met Shanda and her children, I knew that working with them would be fun and easy. Cooper was as happy as can be, and precious Allie laughing or crying radiated with Christ's love. You can learn so much from children and the JOY they find in the simple things - like going to "camp gigi". Their laughter is such a sweet sound, their smile is contagious, and their pure & loving hearts are inspiring. Enjoy these images of Allie and Cooper, and thank you Shanda for allowing me to photograph your sweet babies. 

The Williams Family

A couple of weeks ago I received an email from Macie Williams wanting to hire me to take family pictures before her brother Jordy and his wife made their big move to Chicago. My sweet friend and amazing fellow photographer Betsy Lackey (www.photographybybetsy.blogspot.com) gave Macie my contact number! We had a lot of fun and it was such a blessing to work with this beautiful family. 

Jeff & Jami | The Wedding

Brittany Strebeck photographed Jeff and Jami's wedding last night, and I can't wait to see the pictures! Most of the pictures I have posted are of family members with my other cousins precious baby girl- Henley. Be sure and check out Brittany's pictures in a couple of weeks to see pictures of the bride and groom as well as details from the wedding! The wedding was very Jami- simple, beautiful, and vintage. She found her dress in a magazine and had a friend remake one similar, and it was incredible. Everything was very unique and elegant, and Jami radiated all night long. I pray that the Lord will have favor over and bless your marriage Jeff and Jami! I Love you both.

Jeff & Jami | The Rehearsal

My cousin Jeff Snider got married this past Saturday night at the Watson Building, and they had their reception at Cagels Steak House. We had so much fun celebrating their marriage with family and friends. Jami and Jeff are a stunning couple inside and out. Here are a few pictures from the rehearsal dinner.

Jardon Powell | Portraits

Jardon is absolutely stunning both inside and out. The Lord has blessed me with her friendship and has encouraged me so much through her. I had a few new ideas I wanted to try out, so we went out on the town and had some fun!! Enjoy!
