Step Back, Ladies...

This good-looking guy has grown up a LOT since the last time I took pictures for his family! Sometimes I do pics for kids from Bradley or Walker Valley and I enjoy the session so much, it makes me realize that there are so many kids out there I wish I got to teach! Cody is one of those kids. He is just the type of personality I always loved in my 10th grade classes. He is funny, personable, and easygoing. I had a great time doing your pics, Cody, and I hope you have a wonderful year!

Sweet, Sweet Ciara

Ciara is 16 and she came over on Monday afternoon to take her Sweet Sixteen shots. I just so enjoyed getting to know her and her sweet mama!!! They were such kind, polite people and her pictures are SO full of personality! Ciara brought her grandmother's red heels for some of her shots... in fact, Ciara wore three different pairs of shoes in the pictures! :) We had a great time and I hope you guys love your pictures.

Taylor is Sweet... 17 1/2 :)

As we have done often in the past, one of my favorite families came over on Sunday afternoon and we took Taylor's Sweet 17 1/2 16 pictures (a little late). Taylor is such a fun girl, and her personality came through quite clearly in the pictures. She likes to climb trees and play in the water and throw leaves. :) I had a great time doing her session on Sunday and I have so enjoyed watching her grow into the lovely young lady she has become.

Beautiful Inside and Out

I'll tell you what, I have photographed some girls lately who can sure rock a pair of cowgirl boots! :) Laura came out to my house today with her wonderful (and apparently quite patient, to have taught kindergartners for her entire career!!!) mom to do some Sweet Sixteen pictures. This girl is just adorable with such a warm smile and sweet spirit... I was just thrilled to meet her and spend a little time with her. Thanks SO much to Taylor, Laura's best friend since they were tiny, for referring her.

Courtney's Shoes, Sweet Sixteen!

I was so excited to get to know Courtney McCracken today (even though it was COLD outside!). Her aunt had scheduled her a Sweet Sixteen session, having heard about me from Edie (thanks so much, Edie!). Courtney brought along a friend, a brother, a mom, and an aunt... and we got almost all of them into a picture! :) Yet another WV student, Courtney didn't give me too hard of a time about the game last Friday night! Courtney, I had fun with you and your entourage and I hope you just love your pictures!

Savannah's Sweet Sixteen

Savannah and I go way back. We met at school earlier this semester, right Savannah? :) Really, her mom had seen pictures I had done for the Moore family (thanks, Shonna and David!) and called me to do Savannah's Sweet Sixteen session. We had a great time, traipsing around the fields, blowing bubbles, laying in the grass (in a FORMAL DRESS!)! I had a lot of fun getting to know you, Savannah. Maybe I'll see you around the halls during fourth period? :) Enjoy your pictures!
