Monica's Senior Shoot

Do these slideshows rock or what?!? Monica, you and your family were an absolute thrill to photograph. Thanks so much for choosing me as your personal photographer!

Tupelo, Mississippi downtown E-session

Here are a few more of Jana and Jake from this past Saturday. We only got a few minutes in downtown Tupelo, but we had fun while we were there! Here are a couple images from the area.

More to come...

Jana and Jake E-Session Video

Here is just a little samping of the images from this weekend. I just love these little videos!

Jana and Jakob's Engagement Portraits

I feel so blessed to be the photographer to the most wonderful couple you could ever meet... Jana and Jake are a young, loving, beautiful couple from just outside of Tupelo, Mississippi. I was so glad to finally meet them for the first time Saturday! They were a joy to photograph, and I am looking forward to their wedding in May.

We shot at Mt. Vernon Place, a gorgeous location right outside Tupelo which will be hosting their wedding, and then a few in downtown Tupelo. I left with a ton of great photos! We would have gone for more , but Jake got called in to work. Such is the life of a hero (Jake is a Firefighter AND a Paramedic)! God bless both of you, Jake and Jana. Jake for being the hero the world needs, and Jana for being the heroic woman who stands beside him.

I am nowhere near finished editing this shoot (I have too many favorites!), but I know Jana is dying to see something, and I am dying to share these so far! So without further ado, here are Jana and Jake...

BIG sale to celebrate the first signs of SPRING!!

Tomorrow is a BIG day! I'll be heading up to north Mississippi for an engagement shoot with a super fun couple, Jana and Jakob. I am so excited, and so are they! Of course I will post a preview of their images here once we get back and settled.

Spring is springing, Love is in the air, flowers are blooming... It's a gorgeous time! In honor of the beautiful weather we've been having, and because I feel like giving everyone something awesome, I am holding a sale on Fine Art gallery wrapped canvas prints! 20% off every shape and size I offer, starting Sunday, March 8th and ending Saturday, March 21st.

Referral Bonuses are a great way to earn free sittings and/or free prints. For each referred customer who purchases a sitting you will receive a $25 credit! After just 4 referrals that is a free sitting OR $100 in free prints!

I have to get some rest (thank the Lord I am not driving in the morning!) so I will leave you with this, one of the first signs of the coming spring in my neck of the woods. Oh, and check back in a day or two for more of this and some of the twice-in-two-years March snow we had recently!



Have a Blessed and Beautiful Saturday!
