Chasidy & Jemel

Shoes are a girls best friend......

With that being said being a photographer allows you to get to know people quickly. I always thought with being a Paramedic I learned more about people in 5 seconds that their momma knew in their first 20 years of life. Us photographers have to get up close a personal to capture special memories. This also allows you to learn a lot about a couple very quickly.

Chasidy and Jemel are one of a kind. They both serve our country and have been to Iraq. One of the funniest things that Chasidy said to me today was that the leopard print shoes she was wearing she was ordering while they were getting bombed in Iraq.

I love my shoes but I would have been under my bed taking cover.

With all of that being said it has been a pleasure getting to learn about Chasidy and Jemel over the past couple of weeks. I am sure before their big day on October 23 I will know enough about them to write a book. 

Thank you for allowing me to be apart of this special time and for making me proud to be an American!

"This We'll Defend"

Elijah Wilson Pike

    A new baby is like the beginning of all things, hope, a dream of possibilities.

Elijah Wilson Pike entered this world at 11:15am.

A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.
~ John 16:21 from NKJV

Labor has to be one of the most beautiful things that I have ever seen. Heather and Jared did and amazing job bringing little Eli into this world today. They had an awesome nurse, Jenn and 

Dr. Meisinger got there just in time. I can't say enough for Jared's sister, Sariah. She was an amazing labor coach, counter, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and entertainment for everyone.

Thanks for allowing me to be a part of this special day!

Heather was a beautiful bride!

I was going to shoot backup at Heather's wedding but at the end the plans changed. I helped Autumn with this beautiful bride a couple of months ago with her bridal portraits and I just wanted to share a few with you!
