{Carson & Bethany}

Saturday was the perfect Fall day to capture a couple of cuties....I've had the privilege to be at the birth of both Carson and Bethany and have watched them grow up and into their own personalities. They were a bundle of energy and kept me on my toes, but I loved it :) And I even got a few shots of mom too....she is an amazing mom and a woman of incredible strength.

In a perfect world, bridal pictures are taken before the wedding...but, since we are a different breed of photographer (and since before their wedding, we had record-setting heat indexes for about two months straight), we decided to combine a "trash the dress" session with bridals! Way clever, no??  Dustin and Melissa, you guys are so much fun to shoot!! Really, I just want to take you both home with me and keep you in a closet so that I can shoot pictures of you any time (but that would be kidnapping, and thus illegal).

Just another note:  Melissa chopped off her hair and dyed it before these pictures...personally, I think she is totally hot as a redhead!!

I took these pictures of my two younger children and my granddaughter at Lake Frierson State Park Saturday and let me tell you, the weather was perfect!  I had also forgotten how quick 3-year olds can be...thank you, Chris for jumping up and down behind me so I could get this shot!!

 

(Just a note, Brayley fell on the carpet the day before this shoot and got a huge bruise on her chin...thank heaven for photo-editing software!!!!)

Karena, practicing her "supermodel stare".
