Donny and Dana's Wedding!


Donny and Dana were married on June 14th! We had a great time with them as usual. They have such fun personalities and are so in love which makes it so much easier when shooting a wedding. They were so willing to try some new and different shots. I think you guys had an awesome wedding day, thanks for letting Patrick and I be a part of it!



They were married at Chapelwood Baptist Church on the west side of town.






I've been working with Patrick, teaching him more about photography and he actually got this shot, it's one of my favorites of the day. Dana is so pretty and I think this really captures a lot of her beauty! Good job, honey!



Their awesome get-a-way car!









A little "Charlie's Angels"








The groom's cake was so cool! It was titled "Ruark Regional Airstrip". It was decorated like an airport with all sorts of little details but my absolute favorite was in the center of the cake, this little airplane with a banner that read Donny loves Dana. How sweet is that?




Can you see us through the window of the balloon filled car???


Off to a honeymoon in California!

Meet the Breidenbaugh Kids!

My friend Annthea was in town last week for a conference and booked a shoot with her sweet kids while they were in town. They live in Florida and are used to having "beach pictures" done and wanted a new look. We took the kids downtown to the canal area and got some great shots, even though baby Luke just wasn't in the mood to have his picture taken. But big brother John-Mark and sisters Hannah and Alethia were very helpful in trying to make him happy. Thanks for letting me work with you guys!!

The Southern Baptist Convention

I had the honor and privilege of being asked to attend and shoot a luncheon that was held this week downtown at the Southern Baptist Convention. This luncheon was attended by about 1500 wives of ministers from across the country. The guest speaker was Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages. It was so neat getting to meet Dr. Chapman in person. This book has been a vital part of my own marriage and I strongly encourage every married couple to read it!






These ladies were the official planning team for the 2008 Minister's wives luncheon of the SBC. Diana Davis (left) is the wife of the executive director of the State Convention of Baptists in Indiana. She is also the author of Fresh Ideas.
Liz Traylor (middle) is the wife of pastor Ted Traylor and they are from Pensacola, FL.
Beth Robertson (right) is part of Westside Baptist Church in Valdosta, GA.

Liz is featured here with Beth Harris, executive assistant. They did an incredible job planning and preparing for this wonderful event!



Dr. Chapman and his wife!


Dr. Chapman spoke on "How to Love Your Leader". He gave some very practical and helpful ways to show love to your husband .

Riley & Dalton

Riley & Dalton are the children of some of our very close friends, Brett & Nicki. We attempted to get some brother/sister shots of the two of them plus a few by themselves. This shoot was all about capturing them just being them..."kids".

Riley didn't seem to really want me to take her picture but I sure captured her sweet & fun personality in this shot!

Don't they look so sweet!

Meet the Hadley Family!

Remember Zack 's senior pictures, from a couple of months ago? Well, this is his sweet family, Bryan, Sherry and Amber. I had a great time with them on Sunday (despite the windy day). They are all getting ready to move away from each other, so they wanted to get some family pictures made before they leave. Amber is in school in TN, Zack's off to IU and Bryan and Sherry are headed to CA! WOW! Have a safe move and thanks for letting me capture these memories for you!





This is Zack's older sister, Amber



A Weekend Away!!

Patrick and I got to spend the weekend away with our good friends, Derek and Erin in Cincinnati! We had a "couples only" weekend (no kiddos). We had an absolute blast together. They took us to dinner at The Boathouse down on the river and then we walked around downtown and did our own little photo shoot. Derek is my graphic designer. He is also a photographer but owns his own graphic design business, Lightsource Graphics. Derek and I grew up together, so I have known him since the 1st grade! I will spare him the embarrassment by not posting old pictures I have of him! We spent the weekend talking about our new business partnership. We are going to offer custom wedding invitations, save the date cards, christmas cards, birth announcements, etc. using my pictures and his design work. Thanks for a great weekend guys!!

BEAUTIFUL!

This shot captures their FUN personalities!

I love how the sun is shining through on this shot!


My sides hurt from laughing so much at these two all weekend. Thanks for carrying around all the bags guys!
