I first met Nicole about a year ago. That was before she and Keith had purchased their first home and also before they had their first child, baby Layton. Now they’re a beautiful family and I was honored that she asked me to photograph them at this special time in their lives. My goal was to capture them as they are right now. Photograph the details that make their family special. I had such a great time, and I have to admit I’m a little jealous of their back yard on the lake. Dozer was that mean looking pit bull that was the sweetest dog I’ve ever met. Here’s the Trent Family, enjoy!
Today is my Dad’s Birthday. I wanted to share a little photo and some thoughts about my dad. My father has been one of the most influential men in my life. I’m thankful that I was blessed to have a father in my life, especially one as great as my dad. I know that without my dad’s instruction and guidance I may not be the man I am today. My dad is a very frugal man, but he also taught me the value of a dollar. My dad is always joking around and playing tricks on people, but he also showed me the importance of a sense of humor. Just about every time I turn around, my dad has another crazy idea/scheme he’s thinking up, but he also encouraged me to be creative and use my imagination. My dad is the hardest working man I have ever seen. I didn’t even know what a good work ethic was until I took a look at my father. He’s worked days, nights, weekends, holidays, and everything in between to put food on the table for my family. I’m thankful for my father. Here’s to another year young, happy birthday dad!
So last weekend Leslie and I made the trip up to Nashville, TN to visit her Grandparents and have a birthday dinner for her older sister. Buford and Nell are will have been married for 60 years in July and have lived happily in there home for the last 37. While I was there Nell was determined to make sure that I left her home stuffed. I piled my plate full of some wonderful southern home cooking, but she still wanted to make sure that I had all that I could eat and then some, haha. Nell & Buford are wonderful host’s and I’m already looking forward to our next visit! Also, I can check off #18 from my goals of 2010. I tried a southern red beet for the first time…”different.”
After dinner, we decided to go outside and grab a couple shots out in the snow. Enjoy the photos!
Last weekend I had the unique opportunity to photograph the Rose family and their new addition, John. John’s is 4 months old and quite a character already. I had a really great time, such a good looking family and Baby John is one crazy cute baby. Enjoy!
Last weekend myself and a team of photographers worked together to give back to the community a little bit. We spent all morning setting up backdrops to take free family portraits for families in need. Here’s a time lapse video that was but together by Charlie Roberts, enjoy!
