Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

Okay so Christmas was wonderful! I hope that everyone had a great time with family and friends and got the most out of their Christmas! I absolutely love Christmas, maybe it has something to do with my birthday being the week after... but I don't know! We went by a house in Charlotte that had their lights synchronized to music! I wanted to stay there all night. The Cooke family knows the reason for the season... So many people go by houses like this and they think about all the time and money that goes into putting on such an elaborate show, when in fact they are missing the point completely! Isn't this is the season for giving and blessing other people? Isnt the entire holiday of Christmas circled around the birth of a man that lived his life in such a way that it would change the world..? The Cooke family did the show to bless other onlookers like myself and to raise money for local families that could not have gifts under their tree (if they even had one). It's the season of giving. They will reap HUGE blessings because of their selflessness.


Fast forward to 4:40 for a faster song.



This is someone else's video.. but it is the house! it was so fun. They had a bunch of techno remixes of the songs (which I like!).

The new years is right around the corner... What have you decided to make your 2010 look like?

Thanksgiving!

It was the evening before Thanksgiving and I get a call from a business associate of my husband (Jeff) to schedule a photoshoot with his family that was in town... well when it came down to it... the only time both of our schedules would allow was Thanksgiving right before dinner time! It was an absolute blast to be honest with you! I laughed so much! There was 14 of them 3 different families then their parents. They were fun, easy to work with and willing to do some different stuff! I hope you love the pictures as much as loved taking them and looking at the final results! Hope you too had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Perfect Laugh shot!

Family Pics

This family has been an inspiration for my husband and I. They have helped us through so many things. They are the family that you meet for the first time and you go... "there is something different about them, and I want to know what it is." Their children are the most polite and well behaved kids I have ever met. They are blessing to everyone around them. I mentioned them before in a previous post briefly, but this is the family that is starting the school in the Charlotte-Lake Norman-Moorsville NC area. Incredible school with big goals . If you know anyone that lives in that area I would pass this website along to them to get information on Liberty Prep Academy. School year starts Fall of 2010!

I did some serious pics with them for a project they were putting together! I love it!

One of my favorites of the girls. I love laughing pics!

When we walked in I asked Krissa to play a tune for us she jumped right up there and started playing! Then a few seconds later the youngest Lillie jumps right up there to watch her play. I just thought it was a neat moment between two sisters.

Sample from a Saturday shoot!

I met Wes for the first time the day of this shoot... and from the beginning I knew it was going to be great. Very classy, courteous and professional. He is a branding expert... he names products for company's like the Razor motorolla phone. So here are some pics from the shoot...

This one is my FAVORITE!

Prepare to be "awwwd"

Okay, so This is Sammy. She is quite frankly adorable. I will be posting more of this cutie pie!

Probably my favorite kid pic I've ever taken! I just get sucked into her eyes! I could stare at it for hours...
