The Owen Family!

Brande was a friend of mine back when we were in high school.  Like most of my friends from high school, we lost touch. But through Facebook I’ve been able to “reunite” with a bunch of my high school friends!  So it was really cool when she contacted me to photograph her amazing family!   It was great seeing how much Brande’s family has GROWN since high school!  She has 5 fun and incredible kids… each of them cool and special in their own way.  Let me introduce you to Brande and her kids Josh, Ethan, Liana, Macey, and Samuel – the Owen family!

I loved watching Brande interact with her kids. It didn’t take long to see how much love is in this family!

James 1:22-27

But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.

If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.

Awesome!

It was great seeing Josh again. Last time I saw him was when he was less than a year old and I was working at the mall! Now Brande can ride on his back! Crazy!

Brande, thanks again for letting me document your amazing family!  It was wonderful meeting everyone.  Hope these photos come close to capturing how incredible special your family is!  Let us know when you guys come to town again!

Blackiston Family [mini-session]

Can’t post some of the best ones because they want to use them for their Christmas card and want them to be a surprise!  But I still wanted to post a couple of my favorites!  Each time I photograph this family I’m just in awe of how beautiful they are! Love hanging out with them!

Thanks for checking out these few pics!  You need to be extra nice to the Blackiston family so they’ll send you a Christmas card and you’ll see more pics!

Palmertree Family 2009!

Since I’ve stopped taking on any new family clients at this time and will only photograph my existing clients, it’s been a while since I’ve photographed a family. It’s been about 2 years exactly since I last photographed the Palmertree family but this time instead of very cloudy weather, we had amazing light to photograph with up on Monteagle Mountain.  Check out the link above and see how much the boys have grown!

I asked Julie if they were open to adoption because if they were, I’d be putting my application in. That’s how cool of a family they have.  The whole 2 hours, they were having a wonderful time together just being a family. I loved that I could document them interacting like that.  These boys are going love looking at these photos when they get older!

Check out some of my favorites!
