Springville Pageant..

I was blessed once again to be asked to provide pictures for the Mr. and Miss. Springville. How blessed am I to get to cover this event and provide the formal images. I am biased I know because so many of these youngsters are my friends, neighbors and son’s classmates…I got all teary eyed when several of these wonderful kids were on stage! So many had grown 2-3 inches since last year!!! It is so hard to not jump up and down on the front row screaming with joy when they walk the stage!! They were all winners IMO!
Thanks again for having me do the thing I love the most and have something truly fun to do on a Sat. night in January!

Britnee….

spent a day with another sweet/smart/beautiful senior who happens to be a Bama FAN! RTR! I know for certain she was glad to see the sun set because if there had been even a few more moments of sunshine I would have shot until my camera exploded! She was just so darn fun!

been listening to lots of 70’s music lately!! And sitting as I work thinking as I share some family favs from the last few days…. I am so blessed to have the responsibility to capture this year/day/moment in so many peoples lives!!! Also I amhaving so much fun investing in the future. I know this to be true as I pull out my pictures from the last 10 years as I do every year at this time, and think..what do I want to do different this year for my Christmas card????? Then I look at these families through my lens and I realize…it’s just the 30 minutes of crazy/fun/smell of dead animals(haa ha inside joke)/everybody smile please, moments that matter! :)
Happy Thanksgiving!

Ashleigh Marbutt - that fox was horrible smelling! and that baby was so cute (:

Growin up on the ranch…

is the only way to go! I had the awesome pleasure of photographing one of my favorite clients here a few months back and to be asked back was a complete pleasure. You can stand on this property and see mountains for 360 degrees! It is truly breathtaking..as are the children and family that call this ranch home. I could have just walked and photographed them for hours. And I look forward to having a certain young lady take me on a horseback ride one day next year! :) Thank you so much for having me out to capture some images of your wonderful family..AND the hike to one of the most beautiful spots on Gods beautiful earth.

Christy Lynn - Gorgeous, simply gorgeous!

shelea brooks - my neice and nephew are very beautiful and handsome! I would love to have you take some pics of my family.

He ain’t heavy…

he’s my brother… I heard that today and as luck would have it a few hours later I had the awesome opportunity to photograph some sweet, well mannered, kind and understanding brothers. I am such a putz…can’t seen to remember that JOSHUA is really his name….. NOT JACOB…confession I even typed it backwards and had to fix it!!! LOVE YA BOOGER! :) But seriously…I have never met a boy so ready to bust out magazine quality posing..I really think he was digging the whole modeling thing! Or else he is practicing for his firsat cd shoot! :) Move over my friend Jeff Otwell….there’s a new act on the block!
Thanks so much Janet for waiting on me!

Janet Hunnicutt - Lisa you out did yourself! These are so beautiful! My boys are really growing up. They had so much fun with you and I think they would have gone on for hours! Thank you for finding the time to do these. This is something I will treasure for a long., long time.

Mandy - WOW....Unbelieveable!! Girl..you got talent!!!! Fantastic pics! Can't WAIT for my turn!!!

lisam - You are so welcome! I assure you the pleasure was mine!

Bundles to Babes…

pretty much how it went…started with a sweet lil one..MAN do I wish I could sleep this way again! “That sleeping like a baby” saying is so true!
Then it was onto the BABE’s! :) More of the fun high school seniors I get to meet and get to know. These 2 young women were so easy going and willing to trust me in their clothing and shooting direction..I had a blast just looking through the proofs and can’t wait to get to molding them into the artsy pictures I was seeing as I shot! :) Thanks for making the trips into Birmingham to come have me capture this fun exciting time in your life..I was honored!

The Blessings and….. the curse…

The Blessings are having friends…friends that are there to answer stupid questions about your kids, or trivial things..and know if you needed something they are there…the curse..making sure you photograph them the way you see them and making sure that comes across in your interpretation. I have had the sheer pleasure of knowing this family for quite a while and treating one of them as my own for several years..so when I was asked to capture them as a family I was not only honored but VERY nervous!!! I see these folks as such a loving family I wanted to show their fun loving side. Hope it makes it through..I admire each one of these people in a different way..but when Davis makes his way across that stage to pick up his diploma..I will be as proud as any of his blood fam! :)
Thanks for having me out to your BEAUTIFUL home and gorgeous property! I may be around lots more! :)

Lee Anne - Once again you've out done yourself!!!!!!!!!! We love them!! Thank you for making this afternoon awesome fun. You have a way of making those that are a little camera shy so comfortable that you almost forget that you're having photos taken. Thanks for blessing us with your friendship and your awesome talent!!! As for Alex, well...he's kinda like a brother from another mother around here!!! Love that boy!!!
