Join The Relay For Life Team In The Parades This Saturday

It is parade season. This Saturday, December 6th is full of them. Sarah and I will be hitting the Hildebran one and the one in Hickory and hope to see you there. Below is a note from the local Relay For Life Committee on the parades that the Relayers will be involved with. Please feel free to join them at either or better yet both parades. I will definitely be at the Hildebran Parade (and possibly the Valdese if we can get out of bed in time) taking images of the Relayers and will post some on the blog. So give me a big smile and pump those fists to let cancer know we mean business!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Today is the day we set aside to show our thanks for all the wonderful things we have and to spend time with those we love. Well I have too many things that I am thankful for to list here. I am so thankful for all that the Lord has provided me and my family everyday and not just one day a year, but I'll admit I do like the food today. I am especially grateful for all of you and having each of you in our lives. You have become part of our family.

Be safe in your travels and enjoy your time with your families. I hope you have a very wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving.

Girls With Attitude

Madelyn and Hayley definitely know how to have fun. As you can tell from the images here, they know how to show a little attitude too; good attitude of course. The images of these lovely young ladies are from a recent session of theirs at the studio.

Madelyn is really growing up to be a beautiful young lady. I have a feeling some boys’ hearts are going to be broken in a few years.

I just love this image of Hayley. It shows her attitude and sweetness all at the same time.

New/Old Friends

It is weird how when you talk on the phone with someone for the first time that it seems like you have known them forever and then when you actually meet them it really does seem like you are long time friends. That is the case with this family. Erica, Jeff, Aubrey and Jackson came in for a family portrait session and for Aubrey’s one year portraits. They wanted to preserve this time in their family now that Aubrey is one. During the session I found out why they seemed like old friends; I use to work with Erica’s mother. What is the old saying; the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree… is that it??? Oh well you know what I mean. They are a super sweet family and we had a great time during the session. When we were done with all of the family portraits and Jackson had lost interest in us. We had a blast doing some portraits of Aubrey. I think I have me another buddy to play with when they come to the studio.

Santa's Visits

Santa had a wonderful time with all of the boys and girls that came by to see him at the studio. After everyone left, he just kept talking about how good all of you are and what a treat it was to get to talk to you and not just check in on you when you are sleeping on Christmas Eve. He wanted me to tell you to still be good for your mommy and daddy and that he will see you again in about a month.

Here are a few of the images from the kids visiting with Santa.
