Meet Miss Ella "Coffey Bean"! This little cutie is the first granddaughter for Elaina's teacher. Don't you love the little hairbow?! It was a pleasure to meet Stephanie and Aaron and photograph this adorable family!
The picture below just cracks me up every time I look at it. Doesn't she look overjoyed?! Maybe this was her thinking "Oh boy, my portrait session is almost over!" ;-) 
I took Brooke's maternity portrait a few months ago and then got to meet her precious little boy, Colton, when I photographed his first portrait session. He is such a cutie and already shows so much personality in his facial expressions! Congratulations Brooke & Ashe! 
I photographed the Wade Hampton High School C-Team, JV and Varsity Cheerleaders a few weeks ago. This is the 3rd year that I've photographed their annual portraits, but I've never gotten to see them in action until last Saturday when Ryan and I videotaped the General's Classic Cheerleading Competition. Squads from high schools all over the area came to compete. We taped each performance and then ran the tape to another room for immediate playback, so the girls could watch it and see how they did. We also sold DVD's that we are making of the entire competition. Contact us to see how you can order your copy online, if you haven't already placed your order!
Finally, a picture of Zachary that isn't blurry or have half of his face cut off! He's been on the move so much lately that it's been hard to get a good picture of him. He used to run away from the camera, but now his new thing is to walk right up to the lens grinning ear to ear. It's really cute, but the only problem is the camera won't focus with him so close. Yesterday, I decided to grab my camera and just sit in his room with him for a little bit to see if I could get a decent shot of him. After many clicks of the shutter, I was finally able to capture a picture I was happy with. How can anyone resist that crooked little grin and wrinkled up nose?! :-)
I photographed Jeff & Allison's brand new baby girl, Sarah, back on July 13th. (I know, I can hear you now saying "That sure was a long time ago!") Hey, cut me some slack, I've been taking a blogosphere vacation...better to post late than never, right?! ;-) I took these pictures shortly before we started packing to move, so I didn't get a chance to post them then, but she was so adorable I wanted to be sure to share them with you.
Sarah & Matt were married one month ago today on September 8th at Sarah's parent's barn. What a beautiful place for a wedding! Teri & Brad, I'm telling you, if you ever need to make some extra money, just start renting out your house for weddings...you'll make a fortune! :-) This was a fun wedding for Ryan and I, since he was able to come along with me as a 2nd shooter. Whenever we're both photographing a wedding, we always turn it into a little competition to see who can get the best shots. And yes, Ryan, I posted one of your pictures (see last photo) on the blog and several more made it into the slideshow! ;-) 
Okay, back to business now! :-) Things have been so busy around here that it's been awhile since I've posted any of the wedding pictures or portraits that I've been taking, so over the next week or so I want to share some of the photos that I've captured over the past few months.
Here are a few photos from Heather & Derek's 7-7-07 wedding. I posted their engagement photos awhile back. They had a beautiful wedding at Pretty Place overlooking the mountains!
There was a beautiful dove release after the wedding ceremony. The doves were provided by A Spirit's Wings White Dove Releases. Contact Julia Gaunt at (828) 582-9115, for more information on a dove release for your special event.
More fun was had at Heather & Derek's reception held at the Greenville Marriott.
