Deecke Family

This shoot almost didn't happen.  First, I was out of town at funerals. Then we had to reschedule a few times because of scheduling conflicts, but tonight we braved the heat before dinner reservations to squeeze photos in before Nana and Papa go home to New Mexico.  

This is a family that we have known since we moved here and consider good friends!  Thanks for asking us to be apart of this moment with you!  We enjoyed it!

I couldn't help but add these last three.  I grabbed these really quick right before they had to leave in order to get to dinner.  All three of them are so photogenic!

I started playing with textures and thought this looked so cool on her gorgeous picture!

Karmen

Okay, I want to take a minute to brag a little bit.  While I was in Pennsylvania last week my sister and I got up early one morning in order to capture a few images of my niece, Karmen.  I love this little girl...she cracks me up.  She has learned to growl and would do it all the time!  It is hilarious.  She also discovered spitting and loved it.  She has the best facial expressions! How can you resist this face?

It was so fun to get to play with her for almost a week.  She warms up very quick and loves to laugh.  If she sees another kid she lunges for them.  This made my little cousins very happy!

Thanks for looking!

Anna Lee, Eli, and Emma

Several weeks ago we met at downtown after having to reschedule for rain.  The kids were all dolled up in their matching outfits and they were sooo cute. Here a couple of quick ones that I liked.  I can't wait to show you the rest! 

Bethany and Justin

Bethany and Justin were awesome to be with on Saturday. They are both originally from Paducah but live a few hours away right now because of jobs. They were in town for a baby shower and we felt honored that they made time to capture such a special moment in their life. We met EARLY before the sun got too hot, but it was already really HUMID!!! They were so photogenic and I think we all had a good time!

As you can see, they are so sweet together. I can really tell that they are in love and are excited to meet their son in a few weeks!



Bethany was a natural. She just seemed to know what to do! I love the glow she radiates in these images.

We walked around downtown and found several new spots. This is really close to the spot where they originally met 3+ years ago and where Justin proposed!


Such a tender moment......










Justin was great and was really photogenic. He felt a little left out of the solo shots so we snapped these at the end. I hope you got your ice cream! You definitely deserved it.



Thanks again to both of you! I can't wait to show you the rest.

Website Down

If anyone has tried to access the website tonight and can't don't worry.  I can't access it either!  I have emailed my hosting company and they informed me that there was a fire and the fire department has instructed them to take all of the generators down.  It all sounds like a foreign language to me but I trust that they are working on things and will have it back up and running as soon as possible.  If you need anything please let me know!  

Hopefully everything will be back to normal soon!

David and Halah

We only had a short window of time to get David and Halah's engagement pictures done.  Halah graduated from Murray State in the morning and they had a graduation celebration that evening.  Just before we were scheduled to meet it got cloudy freeing us up to not have to worry about glaring sun.  We also finished in the nick of time as it started raining during the last few minutes of our time together.  

They were a lot of fun to spend a few hours with and we are really looking forward to their wedding in July.  David was a great sport and Halah was glowing.  I hope all your plans continue to go smoothly and that God blesses you both as your prepare for marriage.  

Here are a few of my favorites that I have come across so far!
