Ashley + Jeff

Ohhhhh Man this was fun.. Who doesn't love a day full of dog slobber, stale bread, long itchy grass, grungy buildings, trespassing on a warm day, Jesus light, and a very fun couple and their baby Poooooper,..I mean uh... Coooooper... or on his bad days "COOOOOPER!" (either way he's cute) Meet Ashley & Jeff. To quote my friend Elizabeth, "They're the Cutest." And I cannot wait to go to Florida to photograph their ocean side wedding in just a few weeks! Are you jealous? Because you should be.

Katie + Joey

Just a few days ago I photographed Katie and Joey's engagement session. It was an absolutely gorgeous day. I think it was the warmest day of the year so far, and everyone knows that if it's warm I am happy. The sky could be falling, but if it's 75 degrees outside, I am going outside to watch that sky fall with a half of a watermelon and a spoon in hand ready to eat my weight in watermelon. (oh and I would definitely bring a bit of Mexican lime chile powder to sprinkle on top of my watermelon because that would make the sky falling experience just perfect. Don't judge. I'm weird.blame Mexico) Anyway the weather was amazing and of course they are so very adorable..And ready to explore where ever I took them..... Here's a few of my favorites :)

One down, five to go...

Hey ya'll. My sister's engaged! Which one? you may ask. because aren't there about 50 girls in my family?There are actually 51.5 girls in my family get it right. thank-you very much! The one who is engaged??? (drum roll please!) It's Mary Elizabeth. Lydia and I both knew she would be the first to go. How did we know? Well we're just super intelligent much like Albert Einstein, but we have good hair.  For our smart prediction, we won some serious, life altering cash. So much money that I'm going out for dinner to blow it all. You guys should come because I'm buying a round of waters for everyone!! Whoot! Whoot!So as the photographer in the family, Josh (the future husband and John Mayer look-a-like) asked me if I would make the treacherous journey from the hills of Bowling Green, Ky to Nashville to take engagement pictures. (the same day as their engagement) Of course, I said "No, no, no, and NO!" because I am way too busy for happy people. I mean seriously, yuck. But then Josh said he would buy me a watermelon and a Mexican hot dog if I came....before he could finish his sentence, I was my little car driving it as fast as its motor could take me (a top notch, 55 mph. don't laugh it's a very "special" car. a little challenged actually). But no matter, the only thoughts in my head were of melted cheese and the red juicy goodness of watermelon. They were disgustingly happy, but the watermelon was oh so sweet! --- Here's the first look at the newly engaged couple: enjoy... and there is more to come. That is as long as I get paid a bonus of a fresh pineapple and ranchero tamales. yum.. Congratulations guys..
