{me} in a nutshell

Hickory, NC, United States
First I love GOD! He has me where he wants me in life and I am happy! I am a wife, to a wonderful man named Kevin. I am a mother of two healthy, beautiful, loving, make me smile *everyday* children! I am a photographer who also happens to have a full time job {on the side}. Being behind a camera is something that I found out that I truly enjoy about 6 years ago when my son started racing motorcycles.

My style of photography is fun! Fun for me to do, and fun for you to enjoy! I take pictures best in an atmosphere where you or your family are doing what you all do the best... being yourself! Whether it be at your home, my home, a park, or even if you are planning a hike in the mountains. You want memories? Let me help you remember them!

Oldies but Goodies!

I have had quite a few people fuss...yes flat out fuss at me because I don't put enough pictures of my son Addison on here. Well, I can explain....he is 9 and anytime I get the camera out...he says "Ugh! Mom what are you doing?". I usually have to catch him off guard or tell him...YOU ARE DOING THIS...just to get some pictures to hang around the house worth looking at! My particular 9 year old is too busy for me to actually take the time to do some pictures with him. He is busy doing what all other 9 year old boys are doing...out riding his bike, or playing video games (in which I beg him to go ride his bike or bug the neighbors). What? They bug us too! We have an unsaid agreement in our neighborhood that it is perfectly OK for your kids to come to our house, but in return, ours gets to go to your house sometimes too!

Anyway, we actually took this past year off from racing...didn't break my heart at all considering my heart probably needed a break (no pun intended) from the close heart attacks that I had. Even though they are not going as fast as they probably could...it sometimes gets scary. But here are a couple pictures that I took of him when he first started racing Motorcross. He had already been racing a harescramble series for 3 years once we started here, but here was a little more intense than what we were used to. These were on his KTM 50.

These are from last year...just some random shots of him being all handsome!

And he was on a bigger bike as well. He moved up to the Kawasaki 65. And he loves Chad Reed so he uses his #22~Addison also likes to golf. So here are some photos of him I took on the driving range one afternoon!

So there you have it. There is my big apple doing some of his favorite things! I did get some great shots for Christmas of him that I will be posting in a couple of days!

Big Brother "C" and his Little Sister "M"

My sweet lil' Niece and Nephew "M" and "C". If you know "C", you know that he NEVER lets me take his picture (just like my own son), but he was loving it this night....I think he loved it because I let him take a few pictures himself with my camera and he thoroughly enjoyed that! Little "M" is growing up so fast!
