{Mini Family Session} Shields Family

While I was photographing Julie and Mark’s rehearsal dinner, I also managed to get in a few shots of the Shields family. I have photographed Lisa, Rob, and their children several times over the years, so I wanted to get a few photos of their latest addition, Julian. I was especially pleased to do this, because I’d taken photos of Julian’s older brothers Ezra and Lionel when they were babies too.

{Getting Married} Julie + Mark

I was recently invited to photograph the rehearsal dinner of Julie and Mark at Chickasaw Country Club in Memphis. It was a beautiful setting for an evening filled with friends and family who had gathered to honor Julie and Mark.

There were several toasts given, which were funny and touching, resulting in plenty of laughs and a few tears too!

I was honored to be there to document this wonderful night. Congratulations, Julie and Mark!

{Senior Sessions} Wall Doxey

Last month, I had the pleasure of photographing a young woman named Rebeccah at Wall Doxey state park. She particularly wanted to take her photos there because the dogwoods were in bloom. This was a casual “senior photo” session for Rebeccah, as she was graduating high school this spring (with honors!) She brought her friend, her younger sister, and her cousin along, so they got in on the photos as well!
