Elizabeth & Matt

It was a beautiful, sunny day on Saturday.
Perfect for a wedding on the Gulf.




I got there plenty early enough - even before Matt arrived.
He's cool in his shades.


...and then the guests started to arrive.

This particular little girl, as adorable as she looked,


had a little secret...

oops. I don't think she wants anyone to know.


Anyway. Back to our wedding.
Matt, in his finery, awaiting his bride.



There's more in the slideshow. you'll have to watch to fill in the blanks. Click here to go see it. Wait. Read the rest of this post first, then go see it!

They said their "I do's," and then off to celebrate.
Thumbs up, Matt! You done good!



Now, I'm not saying this is what Matt was REALLY thinking, but it was one of MY favorite memories of the day.

"oh. wow. I ... did ... it ..."




"I REALLY did do this!"


"yeah, baby! I DID IT!!"


Is this a FINE looking couple, or what?




And then we went to the reception at Edgewater, and they had their first dance...





And their first meal as husband and wife...





And their first cake smashing...wait. see that white blob under Matt's tuxedo shirt cuff? It looks like Elizabeth has successfully thwarted Matt's attempt. No first cake smashing after all.



Okay, what's wrong with this picture? During the garter toss, the men usually come reluctantly, as if the outcome of this little tradition will effect the rest of their night. Or life. I dunno. Anyway, not ONE of them with their hands ready to grasp the garter which was flung in their direction!





Now the GIRLS, on the other hand. They're ready. One of the bridesmaids not only caught the boquet, but was showered with rose petals as a reward for her good catch.





Matt, desiring a moment alone with his beauty, stepped outside with Elizabeth. (with me looking on, of course.)




And the end of the night.

Well, almost. All I'm saying is that Elizabeth is going to GET you groomsmen when she gets home from Jamaica! You guys might want to start thinking of ways to kiss up to her now.




Happy honeymoon, Matt & Elizabeth. and a very happy life!

Amy & Zac

Beautiful couple, beautiful family and beautiful friends!

Mosley Contest

okay, first off, let me say you all very pleasantly surprised me! This was a very difficult challenge and several of you got all three of them right! I have to assume you may have shared the wealth of information since several of you misspelled one of them the same way! :-)

At any rate, I'm very proud of you for rising to the challenge!

Justin & Shelly

A beautiful, fun day was had by all! Check out this amazing bride and groom from last week. Here's their Slideshow.

I don't think Shelly would look ugly if she tried. well, actually, now that I recall, she did make a face during the portrait time, but she looked extremely cute!! and Justin... he's just THE MAN! check out his cake! too cool!

I understand that Justin and Shelly were the last to get married of the guys he works with at the station. Well, they certainly did it up right!

Thank you so much for having me! I had a wonderful time celebrating with you!!

2007 Christmas Special!

Christmas Studio Portrait Special!

The dates are Monday, December 3rd through Saturday, December 8th, by appointment only.

This is one of the few times during the year I offer package pricing, and NO SITTING FEE! that's a $95 savings! All of the prints in the packages are 50% off regular studio pricing.

This special is for families, children, teenagers...anyone! So, tell your friends, and call the studio while appointments are still available!

I am offering Christmas cards from these sessions as well. The finished prints will be in before Christmas.

The colors this year are peacock, (blues/lime) with a touch of deep purple/fuscia on a white flocked Christmas tree. The background is a very classic gray / taupe.

Just about any color of clothing will work with this set. One thing to keep in mind though - if you are going to have more than one person in the portrait, make sure that all of the clothing works together. As always, plain is better than patterned when choosing an outfit. It will be less distracting in your portrait.

You can download the package order form here.

Please call or email if you have any questions.

Matt & Cara

It seems my posts are more to update you lately than NEW news!

Matt & Cara...I met them both when they were preschoolers, and here they are in their adulthood.

The wedding was beautiful of course!

They married at the very same church they attended as three and four year olds, Holy Nativity Episcopal.

I had a little flashback as they were up at the altar saying their vows. I remember the little holiday presentations the little ones would perform on that very spot. And here they were today in the grandest of presentations!

I hope you enjoy their slideshow! check it out here!

Isabella's Birthday Party

Many of you have followed the first year of Isabella. She had a tea party for her first birthday celebration!

She was so exhausted from all the excitement, but she loved seeing everyone. She got some pretty cool presents too!


enjoy the slideshow!

Jeniffer & Matt Ward

What a beautiful couple!

I met Jeniffer less than a year ago. She's the kind of person that you instantly love when you meet her. When I met Matt, I could see that both of their hearts were meant to be together!

They make a beautiful family!
