And here are some of Taisa's Studio shots....Fun stuff!

Here you go Tammy! Pictures of your very handsome son, Mike! I chose the sports pics because that is Mike! He is all about his sports and I don't even know him to know that. It's so awesome to see someone take an interest so serious and that shows dedication that will carry him throughout his entire life! I'm very sure you're proud of Mike and I'm sure he will do great things with his future. Thanks so much for including me as part of his senior year and thanks Mike for being a good "sport". LOL :)

This is my August 8th, 2009 wedding. Amy and Charlie Cole! What an awesome couple. I met them through my Schwann's guy--Amy's Dad, Marshall. Isn't it crazy how things work sometimes? I have to share a funny story....Charlie is the youngest of three brothers and he's a big guy but his brothers are even bigger! I'm taking a group shot of them and I said to Charlie (I really didn't know) "Are you the baby?" He looks at me and then up at each of his brothers real dramatically and looks back at me and says "What do you think?" It was funny--yes--Charlie--I am a natural blonde! It made for a nice picture though!

All morning long I was scouring websites for some cool shots for rain. It was not looking good for an outdoor wedding. I was very prepared to get them some cool shots whether it rained or not. Luckily one hour before the ceremony the rain stopped and they had a dream outdoor wedding. It was beautiful, very romantic. They continued to be great sports throughout the posed shots after even though we were all being attacked by mosquitos! Dale Fisher Galleries is such a spectacular spot for pictures and I always feel incredibly lucky to be shooting there. (Not to mention the entire 4-5 miles from home that I am!)

Thanks Amy & Charlie for a great day and your easygoing attitudes made the day--it would have been just as perfect in a downpour!

Here's Taisa! I had the pleasure of shooting her outdoor pics in the middle of August on a beautiful day, perfect for backlighting! I had sooo much fun with Taisa and her awesome Mom! She's a giggle girl--she can't smile with giggling and I love that you can hear that in her pictures. I'll upload some studio shots as soon as I get caught up! Keep smiling girl!
