Jaelyn

My friend, Lindsey, and I have known each other since we were in 7th grade. I actually introduced her to her husband when I worked at Pizza Hut. We see each other every few weeks when I get my hair done. She works at Gould's in Cordova, and she's awesome if you need a hair dresser! She recently had a new addition to her family. These are some pictures that I took of Cayla, Lindsey's oldest daughter, and Jaelyn, the new baby.

Harlan

My friend, Amanda, has been asking me to take her little boy's pictures since summer began. Out schedules never matched up until last month. I've done Harlan's pictures since he was first born. I'm amazed to see how much he's changed in two years. He's now talking in complete sentences and identifying letters....WOW! He's obsessed with trains, so we took him to the Collierville Square and let him play on the trains. As you can see he was very happy to be around all the trains.

Kelsey's Senior Pictures

I've known Kelsey since she was in 6th grade. Her mom and I have taught together since 2002. I can't believe that she's a Senior in high school!!!! I was very excited when Laura asked me to take Kelsey's pictures. She's such a beautiful young woman, and I had so much fun shooting her.

Halloween

Michael had to work Halloween weekend, so I stayed home and passed out candy by myself. However, I had some very special visitors. My work buddy, Chris, stopped by with his wife, Shanna, and their two kids, MacKenzie & Davis. My teaching partner, Melissa, and her family stopped by too. My house was full of kids for a few minutes, and it was a Halloween party!

MacKenzie was Sleeping Beauty.

Davis was Superman.

Macie was a little witch.

Megan was a big witch.

The witchy sisters.

The weekend before Halloween Gelena and Jason had a Halloween party. Stacey, Steven, and Rachel came to Memphis for the festivities. We had a GREAT weekend!!!! I really am blessed to have a big family that I enjoy spending time with. The costumes were original, and a great time was had by all.

This is how our night got started. Rachel accidently locked her keys in her car.

Stacey researched ways to unlock her car.

Steven & Rachel worked hard to get the door open, but we never got it open. Rachel's mom had to drive to Memphis the next day with a spare set of keys.

Stacey & Steven dressed up as Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head.

Michael's Senior Pictures

My little cousin, Michael, is graduating from high school this year. Where does time go?!?! I still remember when Candy was pregnant with him, and now he's almost grown! He's grown into a wonderful and respectful young man that will do well in life because of his pleasant personality. Below are some fun shots that we got when he came to Memphis one weekend. As you can tell, he really enjoys playing football.

Linda's birthday

Gelena planned a surprise party for Linda in Tunica at Paula Dean's Restaurant. Since Linda didn't know about the party she was not in a hurry to get to Tunica. Mallory and Matt had to drag her away from the house. I the mean time the Crockett County bunch came down to surprise us! We were there for hours just visiting and hanging out with family.....ohhh....and eating! I think the waiter thought that we were going to stay all night...haha.

Shayne's 1st birthday

While Shayne was in town we snapped some quick pictures of her. She was extremely tired from all the partying, but she was still super adorable.

This one is a little out of focus, but it's adorable! It really shows her personality.
