nothing like a good ol' cotton field to inspire this southern girl! i loved this shoot...magical!

my beautiful bride...she and her family were beautiful and treated me with such warmth! literally....about 95 degrees on her wedding day, but we rocked it!

not many words have to be said here....this one-year-old is PURE sweetness!

this youngun' was full of energy and made the shoot fun for both of us! her mama laughed a lot with me just working with her!

another one of those incredible baby experiences and this little lady was welcomed by 3 older brothers! can't wait to watch her grow up in front of the camera!

this young lady was a pleasure to work with....she was truly a natural in front of the camera. made my job easy! just loved this image!

my stars were perfectly aligned during this new baby's experience! he was just one week old and knew he didn't want to miss anything i was up to! about 5 minutes after this image, he zonked out to get some super sweet images for mama and daddy!

my super special pageant girl who is blossoming before the camera! she is a ball of fun to work with! love her and her family that is so supportive!
