MS PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER || CARLEY+LOCKE

This isn't the first time these two cuties have made an appearance in front of my camera. I met up with Carley, Locke and their mommy last week for Locke's 6 month photo session. It was cold and pretty dreary out but we made the best of it. :-) Here are a a few from their session...

MS PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER || BRETT+ASHLEY+JACKSON

One of the things that I love about being a photographer are the wonderful people I get to work with. I really enjoy getting to know my clients a bit. Ashley+Brett are no exception. I have really enjoyed hanging out with them over the past couple of months. They are such precious people. Ashley is so sweet and genuine and Brett is laid back and witty-- they make a great pair-- and then Jackson is as cute as a button and busy as a little bee. :-)

Here are a few of my favorite images from a family session I shot a couple of weeks ago...

MS PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER || THE LUTER FAMILY

I had the pleasure of photographing this fun family a bit ago. Christi contacted me about arranging a session of she and her husband Andrew along with his brothers and mom and dad as a birthday gift to Andrew's mom. The Luter's are such a fun family and the guys were good sports because let's face it how many guys get excited about a family photo session. :-)

Here are a few of my favorites from the session...

At the end of the session someone suggested a jumping shot. A couple family members protested but were overruled. Daniel, don't be mad at me for posting this. :-)

MS PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER || ANDREW+JILL

Andrew+Jill are such a fun couple. Andrew I have known for as long as I can remember because we grew up at the same church. Jill I have known only for a few years-- her brother married one of my best friends. I had such a great time photographing their engagement session last weekend. Since I have really only known them a bit each separately it was fun to finally see them together and get a glimpse into their relationship.

I am really looking forward to photographing their wedding here in Jackson in December. I know it will be beautiful!

So, onto the images-- here are a few favorites...

One thing is for sure-- Andrew keeps Jill smiling and laughing.

MS PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER || WALTER+ANNA

I have been looking forward to Walter+Anna's engagement session for several weeks now. Anna emailed me awhile back and asked what I thought about shooting their engagement photos at the MS State Fair. Well, let me think about it ummm..... YES!! I knew we would have a blast, and that we did.

I really enjoyed getting to know Walter+Anna a bit more. They have so much fun together and I loved how attentive Walter is to Anna. They are both talented artists themselves. Walter is a writer and Anna a musician who also dabbles a bit into photography. I can't wait to photograph their wedding next month at the MS Ag Museum.

So, here are a few of my favorites from our session. I posted a few more than usual-- I couldn't help myself. :-) Enjoy...

This is one of the first images I took. I really love the colors and sun flare makes me happy.

MS PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER || SISTERS

Jenny and I have known each other since we were in high school. We both worked at the same summer camp for about 5 years and oh the stories we could tell...little children, campouts, thunderstorms, 4 wheelers, mud pits... those don't all combine to make one story by the way but many, otherwise that would be a bit disturbing. :-)

Anyway, I was really excited to have the opportunity to photograph Jenny and her sister Leslie. They are the best of friends and a riot when you put them together. Thank you both for a great time!

Here a few favorites from their session...

CANTON, MS WEDDING || TRENT+KIM

I had the honor of documenting Trent+Kim's wedding at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Canton last weekend. Although there was a threat of rain all day, it held off for the most part and everything turned out beautifully. All of the wedding party got ready at the Jiggett's Home which is right across the street from the church and is also where they had the reception. The logistics of that worked great. :-)

The Jiggett's Home is full of Southern character and charm which made for a fun place to photograph.

Trent+Kim, thank you so much for having me be a part of your day!

Also, a 'thank you' to Aaron Phillips for shooting with me.

So, onto a few images. Click HERE for a slideshow.

Sacred Heart is gorgeous on the inside. I felt like I had walked into one of the churches from my college art history books.

I will leave you with this image. The guys managed to find a TV at the Jiggett's Home to watch the football game. What can I say--Southerners love their SEC football.
