Jimmy and Lacey

I took Lacey and Jimmy's engagement photos Saturday morning. We were lucky - the rain held off until after we were done. Their wedding is in March - I can't wait to shoot it. They are such a sweet couple. You can see their love for each other in their eyes.

the Saints lost.

Today was Will's first "official" day in Columbus. Everyone was so sweet and receptive to us being there. Yesterday I set up a photography booth at the bridal fair in Columbus. I booked one wedding (thanks, Catherine!) for December and made lots of good contacts - with other vendors as well as brides. My mom helped, and she was such a blessing. Bridal fairs are crazy!

We looked at a house this weekend in Columbus that we're interested in. It's very similar to our house in Fondren. Speaking of...if you know anyone who is looking for a house, we're putting ours on the market!

Here are a few pictures from a beautiful wedding I had the priveledge of shooting December 30. Lauren and Jon were such a fun couple - a Mississippi girl and a New York boy!

So Friday was my last day at the Jackson Free Press. I've learned more than I could ever imagine about design/marketing/advertising. I am so thankful for the time I worked there. But, I'm extremely excited about this new phase of my life with Will. I'm officially a photographer! That is a bit scary to me. That means I'm my own boss. I decide when to get up, when to work, when to take a break. It's amazing, though, and I feel blessed to actually be able to do what I'm passionate about.

On another note, Mt. Vernon Church in Columbus, MS, voted Will as their worship pastor. So we'll be moving there in the near future.

So many changes and so many new beginnings....
