Mike & Tammy

You can't find two sweeter people than Mike & Tammy Crowe. They are the kind of people that just makes your life better by them being apart of it. The Crowes are one of my most loyal clients and I have had the great priviledge to photograph their family on several different occasions. However, this was the first time that I had photographed just Mike & Tammy with no kids. Like most of the other couples a part of the Sweetheart Mini-Sessions it had been several years since they had done photos together.

This session, I believe, was the coldest of the day. It was in the low 20s and the wind was blowing like crazy. To be honest, I was shocked when I looked through their images and found so many great photos. At one point during their session, my hands literally were on fire because they were so cold (does that even make sense, lol). They were such troopers though - they didn't complain (too much, lol) and put their pretty smiles on!

Thank-you Mike & Tammy for allowing me this opportunity to capture how much you guys really are in love! Thank-you for your friendship and I am so thankful God placed you and your family in my path! Here are my favorites from the Crowe's Sweetheart Mini-Session.

This one cracks me up, Mike couldn't remember an answer to one of the questions :)

Mitch & Michelle

This sweet couple was the second mini-session of the day. They were full of smiles and laughter and you could definitely tell they enjoyed being in each other's company. I just love being around them! I am blessed to attend church with Mitch & Michelle and have grown to become such good friends with Michelle. She just makes me smile :)

Like the other sessions on this day, it was cold! But they were troopers! I was so excited to catch some of the sweet moments they shared in that short and cold 30 minutes. I hope you enjoy these photos of the Feghalys. Thank-you Mitch and Michelle for allowing me the opportunity to spend some time with you and photograph some sweet memories for you.

Wordless Wednesday

Stacy & Lillian

Valentine's Day is more than just a holiday for Stacy & Lillian, it's the day they stood before God and vowed to love each other until death do they part. Today they celebrate six years of marriage and I was so excited that Lillian won the random draw off of my blog a few weeks back and won a half-price Sweetheart Mini-Session.

Like most of the couples I photographed last Saturday, this couple had not had photos made together since their engagement photos. Thank-you Stacy & Lillian for allowing me the opportunity to capture this sweet time in your lives. Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Anniversary!

Ben & Candice

Ben & Candice were my first mini-session this past Saturday. When we arrived at World's Fair Park it was only 28 degrees and windy. Poor Candice had been sick most of the week before but braved the wintery temperatures for the first photos she and her husband have had together since their engagement photos 13 years ago.

Happy Valentine's Day Ben & Candice! I pray that God blesses you with many more with each other. Here are a few of my favorites from the Graham's Sweetheart Mini-Session.

Via e-mail I was able to interview Stephanie.

Meet Stephanie Arnold.

How long has your business been in operation?

I started my boutique about two years ago, but it has just recently began to really take off.

What made you decide to start your own business?

I had the though tto start my boutique after my first daughter was born. I love crafting and making things and It hought what better way to share what I love to do.

What is a goal you have this year for your Boutique?

My goal this year is to have 100 sales on my Etsy page. (Found on her Facebook page.).

If you could make something for anyone in the world who would it be?

It would have to be for my girls. They mean so much to me. They are my inspiration.

How did you come up with your business name?The L & S stands for Lynny & Saigey. They are the middle names of my girls. Saria Lynn and Kairi Saige.



A Little Boy and a Tractor

There is nothing cuter than a little country boy! It was cold, dark and rainy but as soon as that little guy saw the tractor his smile brightened up the whole location.

Jackson was full of energy and oozed with cuteness! We had a great time running around the Copeland's property and getting some great shots along the way. Of course, he wasn't interested in much after he heard the motor on the tractor fire up. By the end of the session he was calling it "his tractor".

Thank-you to his Mommy and Grammie for allowing me the opportunity to capture these special moments in Jackson's life. I can't believe how much he has grown up since last year and I look forward to watching him grow-up.

Here are a few of my favorites from my session with Mr. Jackson (and "his tractor") ...
