Family

For the first time since probably Christmas…or even really before that: All my siblings were together for Father’s Day!  It just kind of worked out schedule wise and they were all there with significant others in tow (minus kevin:(  ).  I had already decided I wanted to get some couple pictures and such while we were all together so I let sean know we’d be taking pictures and he showed up with his Mark II!  We had such a great time wandering around the neighborhood in the a photographic entourage (dad/melody with their camera, sean, and I).  We were cracking up as I’d direct the subjects and then it’d be followed by dad or sean or both saying “yeah put your leg like that, like she said.”  LOL!  What fun we had!  I also decided that Sean and I make an excellent team and if ever there is the chance for him to second shoot for me I will take it!  Anyway, here are a few of our shots:)

So there you have it.  My family rocks.  Nuff said.

Liz Lemon

Liz Lindsey, or as she is known around the Starbucks arena: Liz Lemon, is a good friend of mine.  We began working together at Starbucks probably 2 years ago…wow time flies!  We instantly hit it off as she is such a sweet person you can’t help but love her.  We had a common love of our husbands and a love for God that really bonded us together.  We worked  A LOT of 4:30am shifts together which gave us time to realize how much we have in common.  We share a lot of the same views and morals which really helped us feel at ease together.  When I was starting out my photography, her husband Tyler was so gracious to let me shoot them as a couple.  They are so beautiful inside and out and Tyler and Ken have quickly become friends.  Recently they had a new addition to the family: Jasper.  And so I became an auntie:).  I needed a model for a “mock” photoshoot and she instantly came to mind.  It was short notice and she was able to do it!  It turns out that Liz never really got to have Senior pictures done.   Better late than never!  So we met up and were blessed by the most gorgeous lighting!  I usually prefer sunshine and was hoping to get some sunbursts through the trees but was so excited with what we had….I didn’t even miss the sun.  So here are some of my favorites (and it was hard to choose!):

Jasper!!!

Wittle Waspy

So here she is.   I think she is gorgeous inside and out.  I hope you guys enjoy them!

Liz Lemon: teaser

I can’t even contain myself!!!  I set up a mock photo shoot with my friend (I was going to be shadowed but it didn’t work out) and we had such a blast.  I will post more when I get done with them but they were too good not to post a sneak preview!

That's Jasper: he's my nephew.

Liz and Waspy:)

She has such an amazing style! I was so excited when she stepped out of the car!

Isn't she GORGEOUS!

I am so blessed, honored, humbled to call Liz my friend.  She is so loving, selfless, a good listener…I could go on and on lol.  Anyway, here are a few to tide you over:)

Maycumber

I had the privilege of photographing the Maycumber family.  I was grieved to hear that one of my fellow church members and friend Jill Foster had lost her mother.  But the family rejoiced, knowing she isn’t in pain anymore and rejoicing in heaven!  We never know when our time will be but with the passing of family means the gathering together of family.  Jill’s family is great, spunky, gentle, loving, and kind.  In my short time of hanging out with them before the memorial I could really see the love of God in them as a whole.  I’m sure its been a bit since they’ve seen each other but they interacted as if no time had passed.  They reminded me of my family a lot.  With that said, here are a few of my favorites:)

He was so cute! This is him pretending to take a picture!

This is Aunt Bets. She was really funny and adorable.

The Cousins:)

That last one is a picture of the grandkids.  They were all so gracious.  I was a bit nervous at first, knowing that this would be the day of their Mom, Grandma, Aunt’s memorial.  But they were such a joy and were still able to smile….knowing Shirley is with her savior.  Thank you Maycumbers, for allowing me to experience this day with you in a special way.
