Watson Family Session

I think it all began at spring break when I was eating breakfast at a youth conference, and Trai came by the table. We began to talk, and next thing I know, we had my wife on the phone and we had something scheduled that day. We've been knowing Trai for many years through our church, and we've always loved her and her family and her talent in cooking! She's amazing!! This family never stops laughing and has such a great time together. My wife and I were very inspired by their family during the shoot. I felt like I was a part of the family (okay maybe a cousin or something). :) Thank you, Watson Family, for such a great time!

Shane + Marci Engagement Session

It's amazing how the internet gets us all connected! Through our website, we met Marci... We scheduled her engagement photos couple of weeks ago, but unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate, so we had to reschedule them. We looked so forward to the shoot, but the rain just had to stop us from meeting this awesome couple in person. But, on our second try, it was a BEAUTIFUL, HOT, HOT, HOT summer day. We met them first time on site, and we felt so comfortable with them from the moment we met them. Their sense of humor, natural poses and smiles made the day so much fun. Even though it was a scorcher, they never complained and were absolute troopers! Here are some pics from the day... Check them out!
