an abandoned school bus, a horse and barn, a lake…..and the most fabulous couple ever!

Posted on 6.29.2009


Tonight….yup….TONIGHT, I shot this amazingly beautiful couple’s engagement shoot. We finished shooting when the sun went down and I have been editing like a maniac ever since! Being such an inspired and exciting shoot, I was well aware that I would not be able to sleep until I finished editing these. I went to Ty’s parents’ farm for the shoot. I knew that it was going to be unique because Sarah is severe fashionista and Ty is a rodeo cowboy [seriously].  I requested a horse and a barn and then I discovered a few other treasures on their property….such as an abandoned school bus and a unique body of water with an underwater patio. This is one of my favorite shoots to date and I am so excited to share it! ENJOY!!!

location….location….location. [the davis family shoot]

Posted on 6.27.2009


One of my very best friends Heather and I met one year ago exactly….during her family shoot! To commemorate our friendship “anniversary” and to capture summer 09′ for her family, we did another shoot a few weeks ago. Because I am a self-proclaimed “changer” and I like to be unique, I am hunting out new locations…..the downtown is becoming a tad over-used! ;)  So….I found the amazing little nook that I am SUPER excited about! Here is it’s debut! ENJOY!!

Sunday [Evening] Coffee – Coleson’s Sixth Birthday Party

Posted on 6.7.2009


I cannot believe that my son is six!  There is something about six that really makes me feel like he is a kid and no longer a baby. Anyway, today, we had a big pool party at our house. We had 12 kiddos and their parents and it was an absolute blast! I just thought I would share a few images from the day! ENJOY!

A Tribute to the DADS of the Bella Bambinos! [Father's Day Mini Sessions!!!!!! For the first time ever!] 6.14.09 4pm-6pm

Posted on 6.2.2009


Some of my favorite images are of a child and his or her father and the relationship and bond that is so obvious. From time to time the Dads of my Bella Bambino clients make it to the shoot and get “shot” with their babies, but sometimes, they get left out! For all of the dads that didn’t make it to their kiddos’ shoot to get “shot”, or for the dads who did, but just want another fabulous fine-art image with their child, this evening has been designated for mini shoots of DAD AND BAMBINO!  MOMS, since you will more then likely be the one’s booking, if you would love to have an image of your husband and your babies or would even like an image of you and your dad, this is the time to get it captured! The father’s day mini shoot will be scheduled every 15 minutes between 4 and 6pm on Sunday, June the 14th. As you can calculate, slots are limited, so call today to schedule your session if you are interested in booking! You will recieve a 15 minute fine-art mini relationship shoot {dad and kiddos only}, an online gallery of your choices (up to 5 images from which to choose) as well as an 1-8×10, 2- 5x7s and wallets of your chosen image or the image digitally with a copyright release!!! The cost for the mini session with those goodies is 150.00. To schedule with me in MO call 573.651.4408, To schedule with Candice in (WV, MD, VA) call 304.724.6555, To schedule with Stephanie in Nashville, call 615.810.9048 and to schedule with Jenn in Mobile, Alabama call 251.510.1708. Check out some of the images below that I have captured over the past year of the bella dads and their bambinos! PS- these mini’s are only available for past or currently booked clients. =)  REMEMBER, You can also book a shoot with you and YOUR dad!
