Well finally, my friend Tony got married! Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Anthony Zimmerer! I attended his wedding on Feb. 2 in Tampa, FL and it was a beautiful ceremony! I think the reception was one of the nicest I've attended. The food was awesome! As you can see, the happy couple seemed to have a blast. I wish them the best in this new chapter of their lives. It was so nice seeing old friends and catching up. I hope you guys had fun on your honeymoon to Hawaii! Hope to see you again soon!

A few weeks ago, my friend Ken and I got to travel down to Tampa, FL for the Professional Photographer's Convention (PPA). It was great fun! The weather was like summer again. We had the top down the whole time, as you can see. The sunsets were beautiful too. I also got to catch up with my old friend Tony, and meet his fiance' Shari (see pic), while I was down there. They are getting married in Feb., so heading back down that way again for their wedding soon!

Check out my friend Ken and his dog Shaggy. They are so cute! We had some fun one day just shooting pictures in Decatur. It was really cold though!

While we were in TN for the wedding, we decided to go on up a piece and visit my mom's BFF (best friend forever), Yanah and her husband Larry. They have this really cool old home that they are completely renovating from the ground up. It used to belong to the Governor of Tennessee many years ago. They gave us the tour and we enjoyed a short visit with them. It was great seeing you guys! You have a lovely place.

I actually attended a wedding for the first time in about 5 or 6 years, without having to photograph it! It was the wedding of my dear friend Justin Trulove and his lovely bride Jodi. They got married in Gatlinburg, TN over the Christmas holiday. Of course, I couldn't go without taking a few pictures while I was there. Here are a few to share with everyone. Congratulations guys! It was a beautiful ceremony and we all had lots of fun!

A few nights ago, I got to shoot pictures of parents-to-be, Gary & Amanda Knotts. They are my sweet neighbors and such a cute couple. Gary is a professional baseball player - hence the baseball and glove! I feel so privileged when people let me take such intimate and special pictures as these. I love these types of photos, and I think mommies-to-be are so beautiful! Daddies-to-be think they are lovely too! Thanks guys for letting me help you to document this very special time in your lives. I can't wait to meet baby Knotts!

Check out my new friend Shaggy. Isn't he a sweetie! I'm dog sitting for a while and I just love him! He's so cute, I had to take some pictures of him!

It's that time of year - the time for Christmas cards! I love shooting pictures for Christmas cards and designing something cool for the families. This weekend I got to meet the Olive children - Hunter, Chapman, and Sarah Payton. What a beautiful family and they have a lovely home for taking pictures. I got to visit them there and take some pictures before they were off to do all the many activities kids do this time of year (ballgames, etc.). Thanks guys for taking the time out of your busy schedules to allow me to take some Christmas photos of you!

This weekend I got to shoot pictures of these cute kids for Christmas cards, etc. It was my first time to meet Ashtynn and Slate, but I had already met mom, Pam! They were so sweet and I think we got some cool shots of them. I hope they like them. They plan to use one for their Christmas card this year. Thanks kids for being such good sports!

This past weekend, I got to shoot pictures (for the first time professionally) of my little Russian friend, Kristina Poole! Isn't she a doll! Her little shoes are the one's her mom (my friend Connie) brought her home from Russian in. Can you believe she can still put them on?! That was almost two years ago! They were definitely too small for her, so it was just for the picture. There are a few of my favorites from our shoot.

This weekend I got to shoot Christmas card pictures for the Wilson family (Caroline, Chris, Garrett, Gracin, & Gage). They are a beautiful family. We had some fun in Mooresville. Here are a few of my favorites.
