Senior Rep–Raquel

May 28, 2009

This is Miss Raquel…my newest Senior Rep. We met uptown earlier this evening and had fun dodging rain drops and laughing at the guys that kept driving by as we shot near the train tracks. They MUST have been trying to get a better look at my camera lens!

Ha! :)

Here is a little sneak peek from this evening. I am still going through them and will have more after the weekend. I am looking forward to our jump session, so be practicing your moves! :)

Mary and Pete

May 26, 2009

I had so much fun getting to know Mary and Pete. From our ten mile hike (all uphill!) at Dunaway Gardens during their engagement session, to their wedding this past Sunday at the same location…we have laughed (and hiked!) a lot!

The ceremony on Sunday was beautiful. From the bridesmaid dresses to the flowers, everything was beautiful in colors of chocolate and green. The weather even held out long enough for everyone to get to the reception tents…and even then it didn’t last that long.

You are such a sweet couple and I am honored that you let me be a small part of your special day.

Darby, Take Two!

May 20, 2009

I got to meet up with Darby again last night. I am not sure if she is still speaking to me today after I insisted on sticking her in the middle of the tall grass with nothing but skirts and dresses on for most of the evening. (I hope your Zyrtec was working girlfriend, cause my eyes were DONE today!) As expected I had a blast with Darby and her mom…who is fast becoming a great assistant/light stand mover/pose consultant/prop manager. (Yes, you were still organized without the mobile dressing room!)

Thanks to Anita for letting us storm her property and upset the livestock. I think I managed to get the cows in a few images. :)

I am still going through them, but here are two that I have so far. I promise to come back and post a couple more tomorrow.

Thanks again!

Rainy afternoon…

May 18, 2009

But the flowers are still pretty! We were being silly, but I like this one that I grabbed! I got to photograph the nicest family yesterday. Caroline met me at the door when I arrived and had all kinds of questions for me about my equipment. She was so sweet and did not mind posing for me at all. :) When you have two boys that run when they see you holding a camera, you enjoy it all the more when you have someone that wants you to take their picture!

I will have your family photos up soon! Until then, here is Caroline and her flowers. :)

Baseball

May 17, 2009

We spent Saturday and Sunday standing under umbrellas and tents, watching The Rangers play their little hearts out in a 6U baseball tournament in Fayetteville. Ryan’s team came up short with the score (I think, there was NO scoreboard!) of 8-6. The team they played was undefeated (and much bigger, I’m just sayin :) ) but we gave them a run for their money.

My little man….

Gator + Maternity = Fun

May 15, 2009

I knew when I showed up and had to put my gear in the back of a Gator that it was going to be a fun session. Even though I joked that I had to apply for a passport to travel all the way out to Anne Marie’s house, (it wasn’t that far!) the trip was totally worth it. Everything was beautiful and so peaceful. We joked about she would turn me into a country girl, right after the gator backfired and I tried to climb into her lap…while she was driving. :)

Ok, so I may have been a little skittish at first, but once Anne Marie convinced me (sort of) that there were no lions running around their nature-preserve-like property, we had fun. I am looking forward to meeting her little man when he arrives soon! Here are some of my favorites from our afternoon….

Happy Birthday

May 7, 2009



, originally uploaded by teresa b collins.

Here is a small–super small picture from Sunday’s festivities. Her momma is gonna whup me for taking this long! Sunday’s storms which thankfully held off until the END of Abi’s luau, resulted in no power until late Sunday night, which would have only put yours truly a smidge behind this week, but then everyone in our house had to go and get sick on top of that…

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I am pretty sure I will be right-side-up by the end of the weekend.

Til then, here is a small Flickr-pic of Miss Abigail after the candles (two of them!) were blown out on Sunday.

More photos to come…I promise! :)

She is turning Two…

May 2, 2009

And we are celebrating tomorrow!

Sweet Abigail. She is my favorite model, just don’t tell Ryan or Drew. I’m not just saying that because I am her aunt, (the coolest aunt ever!) just look at her…..adorable, even WITH the shiner above her eye right there–sustained moments before in a picnic table incident. We are not quite sure what happened, but we are certain it was the fault of the picnic table.

Named after our mom, Abigail is not only one of the biggest blessings in my brother’s life, but in mine as well. I know that mom would be so proud of her grandchildren…and maybe even us a little bit too. :)

Happy Birthday Abigail–don’t grow up too fast.
