Last Friday I did a senior photo shoot for one my good friends, Josh. Josh is one of those people who can make anything fun and memorable, so I was very happy to do a quick last minute shoot for him. I add the "last minute" part in there to explain why I was back at the old barn I used for the Lackey family's photos. I'd rather not return to a location I've shot at before because I feel like it doesn't challenge me creatively, but I didn't have a choice this time. :)

BUT I'm happy I did now because that places changes every time I go back there! Oh and it definitely gets creepier and creepier with time, so if not challenged creatively I was definitely challenged to keep myself together and not get all shivery. You seriously start hearing things move around or shuffle across the floor if you listen to hard. Freeeeaky.

Josh, thanks for getting right in there with the wasps and clearing a view for my camera and then realizing "oops that was def poison ivy..." Oh, and for making my life by wearing your cap and gown. You're a good twin.

Last Saturday I assisted Kristen shooting the Catoe/Ryan wedding. This wedding was especially close to my heart because I dearly love both familes and had the opportunity to watch the bride and groom walk out their relationship from afar. I had been counting down the days to this wedding just like everybody else and was so happy to be able to take photos of it! Congratulations, you two!!

Oh! And this was one of my favorite moments from the day. Immediately following the ceremony the wedding party/family ran into one of the back rooms and just started hugging each other and squealing! I thought they were just happy the wedding was over but then I heard "we're related, we're related!!" and I realized they were just so happy to finally be one big family. It was the sweetest thing ever.

I loved these kids at the ceremony waiting for the party to arrive.

And let the party BEGIN!
