family photos

I love when I get to have a family photo shoot like this one. There were so many separate families in this picture that I didn't know what to title the post. The grandparents are in the center, seated. These are some of their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren!

They also let me just take candid pictures - of the kids playing, the women preparing dinner, the family just hanging out. Thanks for letting us hang out with you guys and invade your family time!












Meredith Nickels

This is Meredith Nickels - isn't she precious? I just love her big eyes. Her mom, Whitney, was a bridesmaid in a wedding I photographed. We were talking and realized she was a student trainer at Ole Miss when my dad was the head of Sports Medicine there. When she emailed about taking pictures of Meredith, she asked if my dad could come. I'm not sure my dad has ever been on a photo shoot with me - he is one of the reasons I love photography. He used to take lots of pictures when I was little, and he still has an artistic eye for it. We had a lot of fun, and my dad loved getting to see "Little Bit" again! And Whitney was so sweet to monogram and make some burb cloths for Garrison!!









The Aldersons

I went to high school with Mike, so I was excited to photograph his family at Rowan Oak in Oxford! His son, Rel, is precious - I felt horrible, though - he froze throughout the photo shoot. Hopefully we'll be able to take more in the Spring when it warms up!











Leslie and Nick's "day after" session

It rained on Leslie and Nick's wedding day, so we met last week to take more pictures of them. We had so much fun - even Nick had fun riding the trike! Leslie's parents own Lann Hardware in Aberdeen, so we had fun taking pictures in front of and inside the store!

Genie Alice and Nate

I first met Genie Alice and her mom at a bridal fair in Oxford back in the summer. I knew from that first meeting that I was going to love photographing their wedding! The love that Nate and Genie Alice have for each other is evident, and I hope that shows through in their pictures.











The getaway car...a pink Cadillac!!



These two ladies set Genie Alice and Nate up on a blind date!!


I didn't catch the whole story with this coin, but Genie Alice's best friend kept this for them since their freshman year of college - to give to her on her wedding day!



The reception was at Mt. Vernon Place in Tupelo. It was beautiful!
