Meet Bryson-- "Daddy's Hero"

Meet Bryson. Bryson is the grandson of one of my best friends. He is just an absolutely adorable little boy with soooo much personality. He is the son of a firefighter so we wanted to capture daddy’s hero . He was so much fun to have in front of the camera. I love you Bryson!

Covington Maternity Studio Shoot

I was recently introduced to Lura and immediately started talking to her about maternity pictures. She is a beautiful pregnant girl. Lura is 8 1/2 months pregnant with her first child. Have you ever heard the saying that a picture tells a story? Well Lura's pictures tells a story unlike most. Lura's husband Caleb is in the Army and is stationed in Iraq. This is his 3rd tour. He was last home in April of 08 and it was only after he returned to Iraq that Lura found out she was pregnant. So Caleb has not been able to see his wife through this pregnancy in person. During a recent conversation about what he wanted for Christmas he told her that all he wanted was a professional picture done of her pregnant. So this is where we come in to play. We had sooo much fun doing this shoot. We brought out all of the props so that we could capture her beauty in a way that was special to him. We were so happy with our results. Lura was absolutely adorable playing tribute to Caleb and the service he is giving to our country with the flag and his dress uniform. The baby is due soon and Caleb will be getting an 18 day leave. We are all hoping that he gets home before his son Zachary Caine is born but if he doesn't get here in time to see her at least he will have his picture of this moment captured in time. Lura thank you so much for allowing us to share your special story and Caleb thank you for your service to our country.

My Baby Boy turns 6 AND goes to Kindergarten....

Do you remember how you felt when people would talk about their children getting older and how old it made them feel ? Now... do you remember thinking.. what the heck are they talking about ? THEN.... 10 - 12 years later it hits you and hits you HARD. It hit me today. Michael turned six and as I watched him walk into his school for the first time without MOM.... I cried. Partly because he is my baby boy... but partly because I remember doing the same thing. It seems like yesterday that I made the walk into kindergarten, with all the new faces, new colorful posters, new smells (crayons, disinfectant and new paper....) Fast Forward... and I am meeting my sons for the first time ages 2 & 3... and now he goes into kindergarten...and then I think to myself... I am getting old.
