Introducing || Rachel

I'd like to take a moment to introduce you to Rachel. Some of you may recognize her from past shoots, she's been a wonderful freelance assistant through the years but as we've grown so rapidly over the past few months, we've brought her on as a full time assistant. She's an amazingly talented photographer with a creative eye and the heart of gold! I'm excited to have her on the team!! (Photo above: That's a bad attempt at us looking cool, lol.)

Rachel's not the only exciting news, we have major announcements and changes coming over the next few weeks and months, I can hardly wait to share them!!!!!!! hehehe

Catherine + David || Wedding

Catherine and David we're our "purdiful" 07.07.07 couple. Despite the fact that the day was suppose to be a lucky one, I'm not sure I've ever seen so many things not go according to plan as with this wedding. A few dress and hair mishaps, the cake made a late appearance, the incredibly dedicated planner was quite ill and even I was pretty sick, though I'm proud to say nobody noticed :) Willpower baby! hehe

Even with that, Catherine and David were cool as cucumbers through the whole day, they should give stress-free lessons.. lol Here are just a few from this incredibly beautiful day, that ended just as it should... as husband and wife! Congratulations you two!!

See even more on MySpace!

Cain || The Senior Experience

Senior portrait time is in full swing this time of year. I love senior sessions because I get to show more than just the young adult, but their personalities, style and true self.

Take Cain, for example, our session began in a wooded area, moved to some weeds and ended up in the mud. Yep, I said mud! Lots and lots of mud! (I love my job, hehe)

" ...something worth fighting for"

It's nearly 3:30 am and I've just gotten home from the 1st showing of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Myself and a few of my friends went to the 12:01a showing, which was incredible! We arrived at the theater at 10p with the intent of having dinner before the show at the neighboring pizza place but even by then the line to get in was wrapped around the building so we opted to jump in line instead. The place was packed and every theater in there was showing the movie. I love going on opening day, everyone is so excited, lots of people dress in character and you get to experience the movie with a few hundred other people all laughing and cheering at the same thing. If you're not a fan then you just think I'm a big dork, but there is something about being transformed back to childhood for a few hours that just puts an extra spring in my step.

Oh, and the movie was amazing! The entry into the storyline was great and I loved how the filmed just moved along and progressed. The battle at the end wasn't quite as horrifying as the book but completely great all the same.

It's way past my bedtime and I have a 6:30a wake-up coming soon... night!

Shelby + Luke || The Wedding

Shelby + Luke tied the knot @ the always beautiful Grandview atop Lookout Mountain. Despite the light showers every so often, the day was perfect!

Here are just a few favs from the amazing day!
