Sunset...

On Thursday, June 17th - Sage Pelfrey went to be with his twin brother Sawyer Pelfrey. Even though these hansom perfect boys were only on this earth for a very short time... we know they are in the arms of Jesus now. This was the sunset on the night of Sage's burial service.

Thanks Pa-Pa and Grandma Bonnie for watching me when my mommy and daddy went away. I had a great time...and I can't wait to come back.

Wedding...

Two weeks ago I had the honor to take a friends wedding pictures. She had a beautiful outdoor wedding and the rain held off :o)

The bridal party was a lot of fun and ladies dresses were adorable.

Sarah and Andrew were an amazing couple to photograph.

My assistant... even went crawling in the poison ivy to get this picture... (thanks Amy for all your help)

Another fun picture of the couple.

.... and they danced the night away!

The love and passion that Sarah and Andrew had for each other was amazing. I wish you both the best as you walk through life hand n' hand. I was honored to photograph such a special day in your lives. God bless you both!!

Tucker's Invite...

This past Saturday, Sam and I got a babysitter (thanks pa-pa and Grandma Bonnie) and headed to Mansfield for a YG invite at the Tucker's. It was AWESOME to see friends that we have not seen in FOUR years!

Thanks Maria for an FUN night.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Kora Lily - 14 months...

Kora Lily is keeping busy and loving the outdoors! Even though she is now 15 months.... I am a little late at posting her 14 month pictures :o). Kora Lily and mommy were ready for church early one Sunday morning and went outside to take a couple of pictures of Kora Lily playing with her ballons.

She always has to have something in both hands.

Her favorite treats are Marshmallows and she always seems to find where Mommy hides the bag.

Again always something in both hands.

Her favorite things to play with are any kind of balls and anything that has a handle that she can pick up and carry around the house. She is getting all kinds of teeth and likes to say "Da-Da" and "No". She loves to stand on her little bench and watch out the window for all the birds that land in our yard.
