OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH….these girls!  They are just striking to photograph.  I get asked all the time to "color eyes" back in a black and white photo…and while that is a deal breaker for me… Kailey and Alyssa make me want to reconsider.

Take a look!

my favorite one of them together (there were so many)…

a great gust of wind made MAMA look great!  Tracy is a beautiful mom, she is sooooooooooooo in love with her girls and it shows.  She taught my daughter, McKenna, last year in 3rd grade and she loved "Mrs. Dixon"…

I realize how much the mom's put in to planning a photo session, but I am excited to tell you that Kailey also put a lot into the session and brought me a handmade necklace with my name on it!!!!!

I love it so much and have it in my jewelry box with all my other keepsakes.  It TOTALLY HUMBLES ME that Kailey actually looked forward to coming to a session.  I asked her Dad, Mark Dixon, (Hazard High School's football coach) to snap a picture of me with her.  I have my necklace on, although my hair and double chin are probably hiding it somewhat (nothing like a portrait of yourself to make one lust for botox).

last but not least…the REASON people actually hire ME to take the pictures, even though all my customers have great camera gear now…

Hey, Mark…don't quit your DAY JOB…

Thank you guys SO much! I know you will treasure these images (minus the ones of me) for a lifetime.

Finally, here is a sneak peak from their wedding…October 11th, 2008.  This is a bride I've gotten to know and admire very much this past year.  She had a beautiful and simple day surrounded by the most FUN people I know!  You are a lucky man Chad! 

These are some I've pulled out that I love.

…That's what Tabatha asked me before the shoot.  I told her it was a combination of things…great lighting, composition, subject, harmony of color, storytelling, impact…but most of all…A GREAT MOM!  The best photographs are when the moms let me do my own thing (with, of course, their initial input for clothing and location)…but, they turn me loose with their babies!  And, thank all of you for that! 

…Some AMAZING results…
