Wyatt...four weeks

I have known Leann, Wyatt's mom, since she was in elementary school.  I can't believe how fast time has gone by, and now she has a sweet husband and very cute baby.  It was such a privilege to take these shots of four week old Wyatt. Thanks, Leann, for letting me share this part of your life, too.

Happy Father's Day, Dad!

It is a rare privilege that I get to spend Father's Day with my Dad since he lives 3,000 miles away.  So, this year I decided to make a video for him because he loves the ocean-especially when it has been a good fishing day :-)

Enjoy!

Another sweet blessing...

I was so excited when I found out Ruth was having baby number four.  I, personally, was hoping it was a boy because she and her husband already have three beautiful girls.  When Malachi arrived, I was elated.  Having a family with three other small children makes for a busy household, so we weren't able to take little Malachi's pictures until he was 15 days old...and he was wide awake.  He is such a blessing; I can't wait to watch him grow!

Some new friends...

When Annette asked me to take pictures of her family in her home studio, I was very flattered.  She has been a photographer for most of her life. I think it is easy to understand, then, how honored I felt to do this particular shoot.  We all had a great time, and I think the pictures reflect how much they all love each other.  Thanks for letting me be a part of this experience...

Memorial Day - 2011

My grandfather, Vernon C. Llewellyn, faithfully served this country through World War II and continued to serve until the mid 1980s.  In all, he served this amazing country for 40 years.  Every Memorial Day and Veterans' Day I am reminded of the sacrifice that both servicemen and servicewomen, along with their families, gave and continue to give.  Thank you so much for your shared and continued sacrifice...

Simba's School of Music - Recital 2011

My friend, K.C. Simba-Torres, owns a local music school.  Not only is she beautiful, as you can see from the image above, she is also an incredibly gifted musician and teacher.  I was so excited when she asked me to photograph this year's recital.  Not only did I get some great images of some pretty talented kids, I enjoyed three hours of classical music.  It doesn't get too much better for me. 

Teddi & Frank

So, my friends, Teddi and Frank, were in from Atlanta, and we decided to have an impromptu photo shoot.  I am so excited to have this amazing couple be the subject of my first blog because I have known Teddi since she was born, literally.  I have had the privilege to see her grow up, get married, and raise a family.  Her husband, Frank, is her perfect partner.  God has truly done a work in both of their lives, and it is evident how much they love each other by the look on their faces.
