i had sooo much fun during the shoot for the carter's! they had some beautiful flowers in bloom around their gorgeous home, so we just shot in their yard! these pics had GREAT color, but i think i liked them better in black and white.....as i know black and white is what fills the walls of the carter home.

a senior at a local high school, ashley is such an AWESOME girl!! -- i has sooo much fun FINALLY shooting ashley's senior pics!! -- i say finally because it took three sessions to get it completely finished. we had a spat of rain for awhile and every time we went to do pics, it would rain. i told ashley it happened for a reason because her final shoot would be amazing...like her...and it was!! as you will see in the pics, she is also a cheerleader!! ashley is such an AWESOME, well rounded girl.....i wish her the best of times in her senior year!!!

i have known ashley since she was in middle school, as her sweet mother brought her to me when i was a makeup artist to show her the ways in the makeup world.... =)

it was soooo sweet to get to know her again and see what a fabulous young lady she has become!

i hope you enjoy your pics as much as i have.... =)

2009-08-10T02:59:00.000-07:00

the lovely lauren....she was amazing to photograph....altho, i'm thinking after a campout the previous night and MAYBE only a couple of hours of sleep...this girl was a TROOPER for my premium session, which takes quite a bit of time....

she is an upcoming senior and a captain of the cheerleading squad....she's a gorgeous girl and super sweet. it was sooo much fun trying a couple of new things with her!!....even climing on top of a washer and dryer.... ;-)

lauren, i hope you are has happy with your pics as i am!! thank you sooo much for allowing me to be a part of your senior year...and letting me photograph your senior portraits! =)

i hope it is the best year yet! =)

Stephanie and Jacob Richey......

2009-07-29T16:19:00.000-07:00

My friend Hiliary Bowman and I are now doing weddings together as The Wedding Crashers. Funny, yes. Serious, yes. So, you get a good mix of both. We didn't want to be the norm of wedding photographers. We meet with the bride/groom and go over every detail and make sure we deliver what they expect of us...for instance...

We had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Jacob and Stephanie Richey. They expressed to us that they longed for a photojournalistic approach, as well as edgy editing. --- This is quite different from traditional. However, so are they...in a great way! This was JUST the type of wedding we wanted to start with.....

Jacob and Stephanie, thank you soooo much for giving us the opportunity. We had a blast and hope you love your images as much as we do!!

Following are some of my favorite shots from the wedding.....

Ravishing Ryleigh and her gorgeous mama, Shandi!

2009-07-29T04:34:00.000-07:00

I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with Ryleigh and her mother, Shandi! Both of these girls are soooo gorgeous and sooo photogenic! The love that you could see between the two as mother and child could make anyones heart sing.... =)

Thank you for being soooo awesome and like a "supermodel", Ryleigh....and Shandi, thanks for giving in to your beauty and letting me get a couple of snaps... =)

I hope you are as pleased with the outcome as I am!

A...is for amazing AND ASHLEY!!

2009-07-29T04:06:00.000-07:00

2009-05-04T17:07:00.001-07:00

when i walked into the beautiful carter home on a rainy sunday afternoon to shoot jillians tea party, i wasn't sure quite what to expect......however, my mouth dropped to the floor. this party was something that any girl of ANY age would dream about!!! martha stewart couldn't have decorated it any more perfect!! the sweet grandmother MADE the cake...hello?! did you see the cake?? she has some mad skills!! they colored a birthday mat, played "marshmallow" bingo and designed their own little box. they had an assortment of food or the little tea party guests and a whole OTHER slew of food for the adult tea party guests (the mommy's)!!

NOT to mention that the grandmama, the mama and the girl were the MOST amazing hosts you could have ever hoped for!! i was in amazement the whole party at the patience, talent, sweet words and kind giggles that were had by everyone!! ------

it was SUCH an honor...and i thank you for including me in your special, special day!!

btw...i even made a call to the g'ville sun, provided them w/ pics and they are running a story on the party in accent.

Ecclesiastes 4:9

2009-04-25T13:34:00.000-07:00

Ecclesiastes 4:9 reads "A cord of three strands is not quickly broken". My favorite picture from the whole session, which is posted above, soooo reminds me of that scripture. The sweet smile of Baby Brady as he holds onto his mother's hand, with his father's hand wrapped around theirs, just melted my heart.

There were several "firsts" for this 2 week old session! His first pictures, and the parents first pictures with their sweet newborn, his little belly button came off and i was peed on for the first time...hehehe....good times, good times.

Thank you Thompson family for the AMAZING shoot!!

2009-04-06T08:53:00.000-07:00

i had the opportunity to "shoot" keylan for his 7th birthday pics!! -- he did great!! -- and such a well-rounded 6 yr old!! we didn't have a problem finding photography that would reflect his awesome personality!! -- matt and tonya also joined in for a few for their easter pics!!

it was his party if he could have cried if he wanted to....but he didn't.

2009-04-05T22:38:00.000-07:00

sweet little kelsye.......

2009-04-02T19:28:00.000-07:00

when i was pregnant, i had the MOST AWESOME ultrasound person (is that the correct label? i think not...anywhoo) and her name was kellye! (btw..LOVED her spelling)---when i was about 6 or 7 months along, i found out that kellye was expecting!! such exciting news led to even more exciting news...it was a girl!! --soon to be kelsye!! (cool spelling like her mom's)!

kellye AND kelsye are truly special girls!! such sweet souls that carry a flair for some fashion!! hehe! i had SUCH a blast with them --- i think i could have "shot" until the clock struck 12!! --- kelsye was AWESOME!! we ended up with almost 800 shots! kelsye smiled and played the whole way thru---it was overcast and VERY windy..but made for a perfect day to shoot--(btw I praised GOD for holding off on the rain for a bit).......

....here are some of my fav's...........

Over The Rainbow....

2009-03-14T10:06:00.001-07:00

A couple months ago, a friend of mine approached me about taking some pictures at a special event coming up. This event was a prom put together for people who are mentally handicapped. Different agencies who provide caretakers for their clients were to donate and provide different needs and services for the prom...."Over the Rainbow". Andrea Dunbar, CEO of Envision, Inc., in Jonesborough, TN. was in a meeting where "Over the Rainbow" was being planned and decided that her company would donate photography services for all of the clients of not only her agency, but clients from other agencies that would be attending as well. That is when she called me! She at first expected 175 clients, which soon turned to over 400 clients in the Tri-Cities area that had RSVP'd ! The event would take place in the activity center of New Victory Baptist Church in Jonesborough on March 13, 2009. The place was completely packed! Standing room only at times! Everyone was so gracious! They had an area where the ladies could get their hair and makeup done and everyone was dolled in evening dresses and nice suit and tuxes!
I can honestly say that I had a smile on my face from ear to ear the whole night!! Seems as if the evening was more than enjoyed by everyone who attended!! -- They danced, had cake and ice cream and will have a keepsake to take home with them to remember the special night....the photograph that I made of them! I feel so special to have been a part of "Over the Rainbow".

The Johnson City Press was there, as well as The Herald and Tribune in Jonesborough. There is a small video on the Johnson City Press website: (a night to remember) http://www.johnsoncitypress.com/Video.php and an article in their paper: http://www.johnsoncitypress.com/Detail.php?Cat=LOCALNEWS&ID=67642 and an article in Herald and Tribune: http://www.heraldandtribune.com/index.php .

To learn more about Andrea's job, visit www.envisiontn.com . I also took the pictures for this website.

This was such a humbling experience that I will forever be grateful for.

My Funny Valentines....

2009-03-12T20:22:00.000-07:00

Here are a few pics of my girls!! -- I used these as valentines for this year. I actually printed a couple of books and gave to the grandparents! They were thrilled!! Small, 4x4's that can be used as "brag books". This was also a test run for a new background. I have several of these in different patterns and colors. They can be used year round.

This is her "mommy, no more pictures!!!" look! hehe

....i get this look a lot!
