Just quickly, before I get to this fabulous sneak peek, I want to wish you all a very Happy Halloween. I don't know about y'all but I thought tonight was just perfect despite the fact that everyone thought it would be a disaster with it being race weekend and all. We got to take the most gorgeous little kitty cat trick-or-treating and filled up her pumpkin in just enough time to park on the side of the road and get to watch the fireworks. She had her speech down perfect with each house we went to. She of course said "Trick-or-Treat" only after shouting a big "ROLL TIDE" and then had to let them know before she left that her name for the night was Figaro. I love that girl!!! Now...onto this amazingly gorgeous senior!!! What can I say?!?! Jeans and cowgirl boots...now that's my kinda' girl!!! I knew as soon as she stepped out of the truck that she and my camera would get along just fine, and I was right. I will not ever get tired of looking through this girl's photos. I have said it so many times, and I promise you I will say it many, many times more...but this I think was the hardest peek I have ever done. I have tons, and tons of favorites. Tanya & Lindsey, I so enjoyed my afternoon with you guys. Give Striker a big thanks for me for being such a sweet (and hungry) boy. He was so handsome for his big debut. I will be in touch very soon with so, so, so many more for you...until then...Enjoy!!!

Rain, rain go away...

Come again another day (and not soon). Now if this was last year in the middle of the drought I would not feel this way but I'm feeling a little water logged after all of this rain and especially after getting soaked to the bone today in two very sudden downpours. It seems I've dodged rain, tornadoes, and storms with every senior I've had this year. I guess it just wouldn't feel like a perfect senior session without at least a little sprinkle or two, or three thousand. So then again no complaints here after all! Despite the rain we still managed to get some awesome shots of this super sweet senior. What an uplifting personality and spirit this girl has. She has had some major tests thrown in her lap and has not let them get in her way or bring her down. If anything they have made her stronger and such a beautiful person. Our last stop of the day was kind of accidental. We went to one of my favorite locations and it turned out that the parking lot where we all parked was the parking lot of her grandparent's old convenience store and car wash. I told her I would have to blog about this because it was too sweet of a story not to. Their house was built just behind the store which is all grown up with trees now. Her mother grew up there and was telling us how everyday when she was a little girl she would walk over and play on the railroad tracks. The store is being torn down now but the car wash is still standing strong as well as one lonely old vacuum. So the half standing vacuum reading .75 cents that you see is very special to her and her family. We all joked about the .75 cents because I'm sure when her grandparents owned it, it was nowhere near that much. Regardless of the cost or how rugged and broke down it may be, it made a perfect spot for some awesome, and very special photos. I could go on and on all night about how much fun and uplifting this session was, but you all know I can't. Sweet M...you were so much fun! I had a really hard time picking my favorites to show you in this tiny peek. As always you have soooo many more to come very soon!!! Until then, enjoy!!!

I had a very handsome senior come visit me this afternoon...I mean seriously...can you say G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S?!?! A little birdy told me that he was not looking forward to being photographed today, but you could have fooled me, he did amazing! We literally flew through every location, and even got to have a little fun on the green (special thanks to the folks at Timber Ridge for letting us use their gorgeous golf course). Claudette held out just long enough for us this afternoon allowing us ample time to finish this awesome session, she even sent us a few nice breezes. As soon as I closed my car door after our last location it started to rain. Just in time!!! "T" you were awesome! I could not have asked for a more perfect candidate for my first senior guy!!! Sorry you had to miss out on the golf tournament this afternoon but hopefully after this peek you'll see it was all worth it. This is just little tease until the rest are ready. As always...you have soooo many more to come. Enjoy!!!

I had a super adorable senior come to visit me this afternoon, along with her bright green eyes, gorgeous red hair, and the most awesome pair of shoes I've ever seen. I knew when I saw them we were going to have fun, and that we did. We explored every corner of Talladega. We danced on an abandoned bridge, had a seat in my favorite alley, and finished off in the peace and quiet of the country. K...hope you got your Taco Bell, and I hope you guys had a safe drive back home. As always this is just a teeny peek. You have many, many more to follow soon. Enjoy!!!
