Engagement: Rachal and Brad

Sunday morning found me in Downtown Montgomery with Rachal & Brad, who will be married in July of 2009. It started out pretty chilly, but on the whole wasn't bad at all!

We started out at the State Capitol. Sadly enough, after working in downtown Montgomery for around 10 years, this was the first time I had explored this side of Downtown. (The Commerce area is my usual stomping grounds)



Perry Street, between Washington and Monroe. I absolutely LOVE the Ginkgos here, it's one of my favorite "tree" areas in downtown.




What a gorgeous couple!


The look on her face tickles me here:



Congratulations on your engagement Rachel & Brad! July will be here before you know it!

Engagement: Kala & Justin

This couple was a total BLAST! We met in Harpersville at Old Baker Farm and had all kinds of fun exploring the farm.

(what you can't hear in these two pictures are the three dogs who were our tour guides for the day crashing through the corn - they were hilarious!)





















I had a blast guys! Thanks for a great afternoon!

Happy 4th Birthday Nyla

I love you!

Nyla is my best friend Leda's daughter. She is an amazing little girl, just as her mom is an amazing friend. The guys in their lives, Taco and Tyler, are pretty A+ too. ;) Please click on Nyla's name above, and read her story. Then please...please...go give blood. Who knows whose life you might save?

Engagement: Jordan & Michael

Sunday morning I met Jordan and Michael in Downtown Montgomery - what a blast! These two are a dream! They showed up raring to go - they were so excited to have fun and play and get some wonderful shots.







I met with Jordan a few months ago, and we started planning our course of action for their wedding photography. Must have fun? Check. Non-traditional shots? You got it! Expect the unexpected? Absolutely! For those of you who will be at Jordan & Michael's wedding, get ready for a guest book that will knock your socks off! For the rest of you...I promise I'll show you after the wedding. ;)







I love the way these two play around - they're like kids! For a good example, check out the difference between the next two shots:


(My favorite part is the devilish look on his face!)












Check out this gorgeous bride!

Family: Fulton

Family in more than one sense of the word here...they are also :my: family. Loree is my husband's sister.

Downtown Montgomery served us well Sunday morning, and it was tons of fun finding fun places to grab photos of this family.

There are some "smile" pictures that look just like this one, but seriously, this shot is MUCH more their style:


This started out being a spin off from The Beatles' Abbey Road picture, but then quickly took on a life of its' own!


This one is my favorite...even though I had to endure cracks on my age from Buddy afterwards. "Girls, help Aunt Claire up off the ground...she might not can make it herself." ...or something to that effect.


Kayla and Whitney: Jump it Daddy! Jump it!!!









Loree and her girls










I had a great time y'all! See you soon!

The Corn Maze

Sunday, Lee and I took the children to The Corn Maze in Titus. I had great plans of getting a beautiful fall-ish picture of all three of my kids sitting together amongst the corn...apparently my powers are not that strong. Can someone explain to me why it is I can get someone else's three kids to sit together for a picture, but not my own? First Cole wanted nothing to do with pictures. Then Cole decided to take the picture, but Luke wouldn't have anything to do with it. While I was wrestling with Luke, Cori got frustrated and left us. :sigh:

Will you guys be offended if our Christmas card this year is just a picture of the kids eating dinner? Because really, that's the only time I can get all three of them to sit still in one place.





Since Cori and Briana beat us out of the maze by a longshot, their picture ended up being on the tractors.



Happy Fall Y'all!
