quote of the week.

And that desire–the strong desire to take pictures–is important. It borders on a need, based on a habit: the habit of seeing. Whether working or not, photographers are looking, seeing, and thinking about what they see, a habit that is both a pleasure and a problem, for we seldom capture in a single photograph the full expression of what we see and feel. It is the hope that we might express ourselves fully–and the evidence that other photographers have done so–that keep us taking pictures.

I met up with Katie and Zach last night for their engagement session. Boy was it a hot one, in more ways than one! The weather kept us all toasty and their love for each other was pretty sizzlin too.

Here are a few of my faves:

Like every other means of expression, photography, if it is to be utterly honest and direct, should be related to the life of the times – the pulse of today….The photograph…to merit serious consideration, must be directly connected with the world we live in.

Look who I got to play with today! Meet Baby Avery (aka Hudson’s future girlfriend!). She slept so good for me up until it was time to take pictures with mom and dad. She is such a cutie pie. And how can you not love that head full of hair?!

I just had to post a few quick sneak peeks:

Thanks Heather and Kevin for letting me play with your sweet little girl! She is beautiful!

Here are more from Heather’s maternity session. We actually split her session up into 2 days because we kept getting rained out The first day we did some indoor shots and then when the weather finally decided to cooperate we went for some outdoor shots.

These two are such a beautiful and fun loving couple! Oh, and did I mention that Heather was my mentor the first 4 or so months of my job. We spent a lot of time together in a very tiny room. And we even got to be pregnant together for a few months. So she has taught me a lot about business and babies. Lol! Heather has already had Baby Avery (pics to come very soon!) so I no longer have a pregnancy buddy, but my little man will be here shortly and we’ve already decided that Baby Avery and Baby Hudson will be the best of friends!

Last weekend I had the honor of 2nd shooting for Misty Johnson. We headed to Batesville to a gorgeous outside ceremony at the bride’s parents’ house. It had been raining all week so Misty and I were both praying for no rain! Our prayers were answered because the rain held off all day.

Here are just a few of my favorites from the day…
