My sister is getting married!

I can't believe my little sister Kara is getting married!!! They got engaged last Saturday, and then we did their engagement pictures on Sunday! They will be getting married in December, and I will be the matron of honor, Leah and Rachel will be flower girls, and Noah the ring bearer. Clay will be taking the pictures.....so we are all excited! I am helping her plan, so I will get a taste of what all our brides are going through! Nick is a great guy, and I am very happy to welcome him to our family!

Noah's Party!

A week after his birthday, we had a party for him. We invited several kids and had the party at our church fellowship hall. This is the first time we have done anything like this for him, and he was really excited! We are so thankful everyone got to come! Instead of having cake, I made mini cupcakes (thanks to a friends great idea!) and they had a blast icing them themselves! Thank you so much to Robin for taking the pictures for us. I just finished making a DVD slideshow of his party, and it is just GREAT! I wouldn't have had these pics without help! It is too hard to enjoy your child's party, take care of everything, AND take pictures! Even Photographers need help!

Noah is 5!

I have not put any pictures of my kids on here in forever, so I thought I would show you guys a few pics from Noah's birthday. He turned 5 on July 27th, and I can't believe he is ready to start kindergarten!! We really try to make a special day as a family for our kids birthday. Leah's birthday was while we were on vacation on the beach. Rachel's will be in September and we are going to take her to the zoo, her favorite place. Noah wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese. We had a BLAST! I can remember having my 6th birthday party there so many years ago, and the picture of Leah coming down the slide reminds me of one my parents took of me. Then afterwards, he got to go to Toys R Us and get a balloon and crown and spend his giftcard. Here are a few pics.

Michelle and TJ's wedding

Michelle and TJ were married in Little Rock on August 5th at St. John's Seminary. There reception was in the Clinton Presidential Library, and it was an awesome location! They have family and friends come from all over to join them for their beautiful day. Clay and I loved working with them, and it was such a great day! We captured a lot of great moments that day, and I had a really tough time picking out the images for the blog!
Everyone got ready for the wedding at the Peabody Hotel.


The guys getting ready to leave for the ceremony........

And the GIRLS, leaving to go to the ceremony. We took the service elevator so there wasn't a chance TJ would see Michelle!

This was taken right after the ceremony. I just love the happiness in their expression!

Michelle and TJ

I thought the architecture was just absolutely beautiful!

Michelle's parents were celebrating their 28th wedding anniversary that night.

How cool it is that their oldest daughter will share the same day with them!

There was an artist there that created this scene of their first dance. She did this entire painting during the reception, and it was AWESOME! What a wonderful gift to remember their wedding day!
All of the groomsmen were singing to Michelle. They were such a fun group!

Melissa and Drew's Wedding

Melissa and Drew were married on July 29th at Park Hill Baptist Church in North Little Rock. We were excited to get to work at this church again, and we got to see a couple of past brides and their mom's. It is so fun to see familiar faces! Melissa and Drew were a blast, and always had a smile! Thank you for chosing us as your photographer!


These kids were so fun, and we had to make this goofy face, just for Drew's little brother!

Melissa's flowers were gorgeous, and very special, some of them came from her grandfather's garden!

Clay was able to capture this one of Melissa peeking in while she was waiting to walk down the isle.


Melissa was walked down the isle by her grandfather, but then her mother gave her away, very special!

Melissa and Drew

It was such a joyous occasion, and we never had trouble catching the family with a smile.

I like this shot because it has Drew and his mom, and Melissa and her grandfather



I thought these coloring books they made for the kids was the cutest idea! They had their own little room set up with movies, coloring, cupcakes, and candy!
