{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!

WOW is all I can say. Jen of J. Panache Photography and I joined together to form a team for the Susan G. Komen in the foothills. What a HUGE success and I don't think either one of us realized how big this was going to get. We raised over $5000 (our original goal was $1000), and we had 52 team memebers. We won the larges community team and we remained neck and neck with the most amount of money raised!!!! We also came VERY close to winning the t-shirt competition. A huge THANK YOU goes out to Jason Duckworth of Blue Squid Designs with the logo help, Annette Gwaultney for the logo idea, and all of our fabulous sponsors:

This is the Survivor Photo. All of these women are or were affected by Breast Cancer. 1 in 8 women will be affected by Breast Cancer. Think of eight of your best girlfriends...one of them possibly will be affected! A cure needs to be found so I am honored to say that I helped in a huge way to get us to finding a cure!




Here is our team, TaTa Paparazzi! Thanks to ALL of you for your help! You all made this such a HUGE success!

Hiya Matey!

I have had just some of the most AWESOME boys lately! This is Mr. "s". He is 3! We took Mr. "s" to the Johnny Wilson Farm. What a fun place for him! He loved everything about it! He is SO handsome, sweet, and listens so well! He is a tough little man though...just living up to his name! Not even an electric fence can stop this little man!!!! ;-) Thanks mom for letting me capture your day at the pumpkin patch! I hope he had fun!!! I sure did! Enjoy!









LOVE THIS!!!!!!

"s" is a pirate for Halloween!!!! He makes the PERFECT pirate! Perfect for his personality!

Arrrgh!!!!

Handsome little "t"

Look at this PRECIOUS little boy! This is Mr. t. I could seriously eat him up! I could munch on all kids, but gosh look at his cheeks . Edible! We had a fun time at Johnny Wilson Farm where they have hay rides, corn maze, corral maze, apple orchard (they just started this year) a beautiful pond, petting zoo, and pumpkin patch!
