{Daniel & Cassie...again}

A few sneak peeks from the perspective of Ginger...

Daniel & Cassie chose not to see each other before the ceremony, but they did sneak in a quick touch...by the look on Daniel's face, I think he was trying to "cheat"...LOL. This couple is so adorable and obviously so madly in love with each other.

 Loved this shot...two legacies of love colliding into a new, young love. Such a great way to honor their parents and the impact they have had on their lives.

Cassie is a runner and Daniel is a stock car driver...so, of course, we had to get a picture of their shoes (*side note-Daniel actually had a race the evening they got married)

Thanks Cassie & Daniel for trusting us to capture your special day!

Can't wait for you to see the rest of the pictures :)

{Brailey}

Spent a little bit of my evening with this little doll, and loved every minute of it (ok, maybe not the messy diaper she shared with me)! She was so much fun to talk to and play with...and the best part is, I don't have to do the tough job of raising her :)  Darrian and Tyler, thanks for sharing Brailey with me tonight, hope you enjoy the preview!

{Austin, 1 Year}

If this little fella looks familiar, it's because we've been taking his picture since he was a newborn.  He has grown so much since we first saw him, but he is just as much fun.  I am telling you, I think he enjoys the photo shoots just as much as we do!  Lauren, he might just have a career in modeling...

{Daniel & Cassie}

There is a lot to be said for organization...and patience.  We've seen plenty of weddings, but I don't think we have been at one that has run as calmly and smoothly as Cassie and Daniel's did today.  They are such an easy-going pair, and with every action, we could just feel the deep love they share.  Enjoy your sneak peek!!

{Karena}

I've known Karena since before she was born...her mom and I have been best friends FOREVER...and it has been a privilege to watch her grow into herself.

A young woman who looks to the future with immense possibility.....

A young woman who is confident...comfortable in her own skin...

A young woman...a dreamer...a lover of life....

A young woman...ready to take on the world....

A young woman...who is learning what true friendship really is...and how rare of a find that is.

Ashton & Karena

{Cooper's Newborn, Take II}

You know, in a perfect world photo sessions go perfectly.  Perfect lighting, cooperative subjects, no technical mishaps...but we do not live in a perfect world.  Cooper's first session yielded some adorable shots, but I just didn't feel that we got "THE" shot, so I asked Mom and Dad if we might borrow little Cooper for another round (and thankfully, they agreed).  What follows are some of my favorites from this afternoon. Amanda and Corey, thank you!!!

(finally got this little man to sleep!)

{Adrienne}

Gorgeous teen....Adrienne is one of the most photogenic girls I know and today proved no different. She had just gotten home from being gone for almost 2 weeks (between basketball camp and church camp), but you couldn't tell she was the least bit tired by the pictures that we got. I absolutely loved photographing Adrienne and the late evening sun was the perfect lighting.

One of my absolute favorite shots of Adrienne....

She might just be a country girl afterall.....gorgeous lighting!

Model smile....sun glistening on her hair...just doesn't get much better.
