Back in February, there was a contest on my facebook fanpage. The contest was a give-a-way for a couples session. To enter couples had to share their "love story" - how they met or share about their best valentine gift. There were so many great entries. I'm sure my friend, Dana, had a hard time choosing!

Abbi (&Adam) Taylor were my lucky winners.

Abbi later chose to use her session in a different way. Tonight, I spent a little time with their little girl, Kennedy.

But first... I'm gonna share her love story as entered in the contest.

Thanks for entering, Abbi! I hope you enjoy this small preview.

well, i have a super funny story how me and my hubby met! we had been going to the same church for about 3 months and the church we went to had a co-ed softball team! at the time i was dating a different guy...well, kinda dating! and he wasn't really seeing anyone to serious either! i had decided to give a go at it at the co-ed softball team because i ... See Morewas new in the church and it would be a great way to meet people. we had our first practice and i was placed left center field! should i say that is a VERY popular place to hit the ball....well, it is....super popular!! Adam (my hubby now) was up to bat (now i think he is all of 155lbs!!) and he didn't look like a power hitter if you know what i mean?! he got up to hit and the first pitch was pitched he swung and it was a line drive right to left center field...right where i was standing!! now i would like to say i was pretty good athlete in high school so i thought i had this! i yelled "i got it" (like you should in softball!) and i totally missed it!! it hit the side of the glove...then right into the left side of my face!! needless to say i broke my jaw/face in three different places had my mouth wired shut for 6 wks and i was suppose to get my braces off the next day!! what a night huh??!! the next week he came to visit me and we hit it off great!! we began dating and dated for almost 4yrs and got married!! we joke about it all the time what a great story we have to tell Kennedy one day!! daddy knocked mommy right off of her feet ...and he really did!! God has truly blessed us and our marriage!!

Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back.

I think it is safe to say that cancer has affected each of us in some form whether it be personally, through a family member, friend or someone you know. I know this is true for me.

This little guy is a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e. Like most three year olds, he liked to run, jump and play hide and seek with my camera. Here is just a little peek of our time together. :)

A daughter may outgrow your lap, but she will never outgrow your heart.

I had a great time with this mother/daughter duo on Tuesday afternoon. When Kelli was five her mother, Stephanie, started a tradition with her. They had their photos made together... just the two of them. They have continued to do this every five years. When I arrived for their session they were showing me their past photos and it was such a pleasure that I was able to work with them for their latest photo series.

I think it is such a fun idea. And, I'm thinking of doing it myself... with my girls.

Here is a small preview of my time with them...

Mr. & Mrs. Tipton

Casey and Jill were married on Saturday at The Mansion. It was such a gorgeous day. Everything was perfect and, as always, Jill and Casey were all smiles. I always love working with this couple - there is no doubt of the love they have for each other and it makes me smile! And just check out their rockin' wedding party! Love it!

Here is just a small preview of their day... Hope you all enjoy!
