So-called "flurry"

So I know I told you I'd be blogging more. I lied. I had good intentions. I really did. But summer is busy and fun and a bit of a blur at this point.

Here's a few reasons it's been fun and busy...

Baby "E" was born....

 The Allen's are expecting a new addition as well as Cole growing like a weed!

There's been family shoots like no other.

Some of my favorite tiny people brought along some more of their family...

Another new little one joined the world...Congrats to the Singletary family....

And of course there was a wedding or two...Here's one from June. 

Congrats to the Flora's.  A gorgeous couple with one of the best wedding parties I have EVER worked with!

The Brook's family is celebrating their little man turning one year. And they're planning there upcoming wedding! Stay tuned for that.

One of my favorite people in the WHOLE WORLD brought her family to the farm for a few days and we were able to capture some pretty great moments. Rocky even came along.

The Shirrell cousins were LONG overdue for a session and so here they are! What a terrifically wonderful, hilarious shoot this was. 

A couple beauties I hadn't seen in a few months also joined me on the farm for a WARM evening shoot. They made it easy with their sassy, sweet smiles. 

And then, most importantly we celebrated love. TRUE, loyal love. This is Roy and Carolyn. They are nearly family. They're grandparents to my cousins. Roy is fighting the good fight against a fierce foe. But no matter what he wins. Because just a few short weeks ago he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and was baptized. He is a fireball. He loves his family ferociously and has no excuses about what life has dealt him. He was quoted just a few days ago as saying, "I should've been saved a long time ago!" He's a hero to many. Our prayers are with Carolyn and their family as he stands strong and continues to cherish everyone and everything God has given him.

Mr&MrsHarmon.April2012.

We were all a bit nervous about the ominous clouds.

"Rain is good luck" they say. But let's be honest, it's a little disheartening to think of the day you've planned months, maybe years for, includes rain. No one really plans for that. But it did rain. Only for a few moments and we are able to capture a couple really neat pictures of our couple in the rain.  Even better, we were able to capture tons of images in what turned out to be a pretty great spring day.

Here are just a few of the images from this newly weds' day.

and btw, MAD props to my new assistant Allie McLaughlin for getting some amazing candids!!

Yes, they have a hollywood name mash-up. As they should. They even have the feel of an old hollywood couple.

She's elegant. He's classic.

God blessed us with a beautiful mid-March day. It was sunny and a touch breezy.

The girls were beautiful in deep purple and the boys handsome in black and white.

Both sets of parents were doting. An uncle was crying. It was a great ceremony made special with an intimate tribute by the groom's father. All 4 siblings stood up in agreement at the union.

The reception was true to 'Hudson/Faulkner' style with much dancing, laughing and great food.

All-in-all, the day the bride had dreamt and planned for her whole life. And I am honored to have been asked to capture the day in images that I hope they cherish for a lifetime and more.

Here's to you Blake and Liz...God bless you!
