J.L.H

Yesterday it became official! My dear friend Jodie Lynn became Mrs. Hopewell! Jodie has been an incredible friend and support system to me the last few years and I couldn't be happier for her now. Jodie not only married the love of her life, but is also expecting a baby boy in September. When I look at JaQuan and Jodie, I see a fun loving, passionate, and easy going couple with incredible faith and unconditional love. Jodie has always done things her way, and her day, although unconventional, was incredibly special and true to both her and JaQuan. I would never have picked anyone else for you Jodie, I'm so glad God brought you to JaQuan, and him to you. I can't hardly wait to meet baby Jayce! Is it September yet? God Bless :) (oh yeah, and some day i'll learn how to just pick a few photos for the blog, but for now..another long photo post!)

Breath Jodie, just breath!

meet the darkest church ever. natural light=zero. It is pretty though!

so glad I caught this...real men hold flowers ;)

Baby Jayce!

Campus love

I was monkeying around with my template for my blog and lost the original post for this. I wanted to keep some of these photos up here however, so here there are...sorry the original post writing got deleted.

Cupcakes, golfcarts, and the chicken dance?

On Saturday I had the priviledge of shooting another wedding with the incredibly talented Theresa of TAK Photography.  This was my second wedding and I had so much fun, and I learned a ton. The day started off at the Salon with a little rain, but ended up with sun. The church was incredible, the bride gorgeous, and the details memorable. I am not going to lie though, my favorite part was riding in a golf cart with Theresa at the reception...we may have almost rolled it, but it was fun nonetheless! Here are some of my favorite shots from Matt and Katie's day.

Luke Joseph

Luke is a week and a half already! He is truly a gift from God...see for yourself. 

Maddie and William

On Friday I kicked off my big photography weekend by spending the morning with the Blackler family. I met them at their gorgeous home and hung out with their beautiful children. Thier daughter Maddie has recently turned 4 and has a new baby brother, William. I had so much fun taking these photos, it is always wonderful to meet a new family and connect with them so quickly. I am so blessed to have so many opportunities to capture these special moments, thanks to the Blacklers for welcoming me into their home! 

I love his one dimple :) 

one of my favorite infant photos yet...its like he's saying, "I have arrived!"
