Milestone.

Remember I told you about the big news coming? So here goes . . .

Well, There's these really cool people who own a salon (SALON 535 . . . I'd link their website here but they don't have one just yet). Turns out that these really cool people dig my photography. They offered to hang some of my photographs IN THE SALON! So, I said . . . uh, sure! I printed up some of my favorites of '07 and had 'em framed (Images from the Lee, House, Stetter, and Cannon shoots . . . THANKS!). I brought them to the salon and they hung them up for all to see. Pretty Cool! So, if you need a manicure, pedicure, hair-cut, coloring . . . even permanent make-up check out Salon 535 in Ayden. See Sarah, and tell her that I sent you.

I've never had a business think my photos were good enough to be used to DECORATE! Since this was kind of a big deal for me . . . I took pictures. Afterwards, my family and I enjoyed the big beautiful red wall (the salon 535 building wall). We took some family pictures in front of it. I'd love your thoughts. Enjoy!

House Family

Amber gave me a call after seeing the Cannon family photo-shoot. Amber was excited and wanted something totally new and rustic. She wanted something unique, places that none of my clients had been yet. She said she was willing to try some new locations for me. I LOVE that! So, me, Amber, and her family (J.B. and precious Aubrey) ventured out on the windiest day ever. Aubrey was adorable and just loved being outside. She wore these cute pink cowboy boots. Ya gotta love a girl who can wear some cowboy boots. They were all troopers as I drug them from location-to-location. But, as a result, I think these were some of the coolest family photos I have done to date . . . I had a really hard time choosing my favorites, but I found a few I wanted everyone to see. Enjoy!

The pink boots!


I love the angles in this image!


Classic Black-and-White. I LOVE the Teddy Bear!


Some time with Mommy waiting for the train.


Just hanging around. This is one of my top three images from this photo-shoot and easily in my top ten photographs ever taken. I absolutely LOVE this photograph. Aubrey kicked off her boots while she was sitting on the edge of the train station platform and it just made for a really cute photo.


I love the sky, the train station, and the sunlight . . . AND the House Family just hanging out with Aubrey's bear laying off to the side. A really cool shot.


Another really rich Black-and-White image. The Train Station just looks cool. I love how this is a moment of Amber trying to steal a kiss from Aubrey.


This is one of my favorite Family shots. J.B. and Amber enjoying the moment while Aubrey looks a bit curious.






Taking a stroll. This is one of my top three images from the photo-shoot. I just love the color of the image, the leaning fence in the background, and the facial expression Aubrey is making.


This is my favorite Family photo. It's a moment where everyone found something to be really funny and gave some great expressions. I also LOVE the background of the old run-down factory. You can't get more rustic than this in Greenville.


Just ly'n around. Easily my favorite photo from the shoot, and in my top ten photos taken. It just screams authentic and 'being a kid'. I LOVE the pink boots in the shot and the angles. Aubrey loved the bench and just thought she'd lay down for a second. It was a great moment.


This is one of my favorite Family shots. I found this really cool wall with graffiti (don't ask me what it says . . . I have no clue) on it. The House family said they were game and I think it looks wicked-cool in black-and-white.


This was a really cool Father and Daughter moment.


I found this really cool Pepsi sign and had been wanting to take some photos of a family there. Amber and J.B were up for it and I think this image came out awesome. I love the color and how the family is enjoying cute little moment together.


Amber, J.B, and Aubrey . . . thanks for being my guinea pigs on some new locations and braving the windy weather. It was fun for me . . . I hope you had fun too!
