The {Barksdale} Family

Christmas Day I was very excited to shoot Jeff & Stacy and their family.  Jeff is one of the pastors at our beloved Lifecoast church.  Not only is the evident joyful, goofy love weaved into their family circle, but every family member, down to the youngest Madi (7), invest into the hearts and souls of every relationship they encounter.  I guarantee even their smiles in pictures will be contagious!

New Baby {Gracyn}

I had my first new born session today, and I have to say I think new born shoots are my favorite to do! Itty bitty babies, comfy blankets, hats, and lots of love.  Gracyn was such a sweetie pie and SO adorable.  Take a look and see if you can handle this cuteness!!

The {Purdy} Family

I have a busy, busy few days coming up (Yay!).  Four sessions in six days.  The Purdy family was the first on the list.  Sara (of Photography by Sara Purdy) is my friend, sister in Christ, and I have been her happy assistant for over a year now.  It was fun getting her on the other side of the camera, needless to say. (:  The Purdys are a creative, fun, silly little family, and it was a joy as a photographer and friend to shoot them. 



WE FOUND A CROSS IN THE WOODS AND ABSOLUTEDLY NEEDED TO USE IT.



Ryan {&} Chelsie

I know, I know, I've been really bad at blogging all my photo sessions. Sorry!  But this past one is a session that I simply cannot pass up.  Why you ask? Well, 1) it's a love shoot -- and I LOVE love shoots. And 2) It was of my best friend, Miss Chelsie and her lovely boyfriend, Ryan.  For Halloween Chelsie was Nancy Drew, which inspired the rest of our shoot.  Aren't they darling? I think they love each other. (;

{Aniyah}

Aniyah, in addition to being extremely gorgeous, has the best sense of humor.  She's super athletic, being a basketball player and killer surfer. She has such a beautiful soul, and I think it shines through her pictures! 

Electra's {Bridal} Shower!

I had a great time Saturday at Electra's bridal shower.  She is so sweet and is going to make a beautiful bride this autumn! 

Global Mission 5K Run!

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing the first annual Global Missions 5K Run at Parkview Baptist Church!  Parkview was a lovingly welcoming host for the event and the morning was a huge success!  There was fellowship, fun for the kids, a run, and fund raising to send people out on mission trips to change the world!

We even had some people from Lifecoast show up! (:

Jill -- the wonderful host of the event, and her gorgeous daughter Willow.

Jared Anderson Concert

Lifecoast church was overjoyed to host our first worship concert last weekend!  Jared Anderson, of New Life Church and Integrity Music, kindly came and lead approximately 300 people into the presence of God.  It was beautifully moving and such a blessing to attend!  This was our first even like this at Lifecoast, and it's only the beginning!  

Dillon

Dillon is a Christ-follower, killer drummer, piano player, with a sense of humor that will leave you laughing even after the joke is over.  His family founded Lifecoast Church, where he plays drums during our awesome worship services.  His pictures were so good, it was difficult to pick which ones to post!
