I wish you the best of luck and a long, happy marriage together. Thank you for allowing me to take your photos. I hope you enjoy your sneak peak. Here it is....

{ don't let the sun go down }

I had the joy of meeting this beautiful family at the beach again today. Our first shoot was cut short due to the quickly setting sun. We rescheduled and today it was MAGIC. Here's your sneak peak.....

{ free photo session }

I borrowed this contest idea from a photographer friend of mine. Unlike some people who "borrow" I DID ask for her permission first. So, here's how it works.....you leave a comment on this blog post stating why you would like a FREE photo session ($75 value) with me. The contest will begin now and continue until next Friday, September 18th. This contest is open to EVERYONE!!! (including my SE Georgia and NE Florida friends, because I will be there in November) What perfect timing....just in time for Christmas cards. So, what are you waiting for? BRING ON THE COMMENTS!

{ Something NEW in the works }

I can't go into detail right now, but just want to express my excitement about a new business venture! I also want to say "THANK YOU" to all my friends/fans/clients for your support and love! I love you all :)

{ Back to SCHOOL }
