Sophie's Album


oh geez.  I got all teary eyed when I finished this album yesterday.  

Belinda, Sophie's mom dropped by yesterday.  I finished putting together little Sophie's baby album.  I cannot believe how much she has grown!  She is such a little princess now!!  

I remember when Belinda first came to the studio with her.  She held her so tenderly.  I remember the awe in Belinda's face - not just her eyes, her whole face.  Belinda spoke a lot without saying a word.  She is indeed a blessed woman!  The first photograph in her album is still one of my very favorites!

anyway, here's her album:

Kaylyn & Chuck, Part One

I wanted to show you some pictures from this wedding.

the flowers smelled so good! I love the ivory colors in a wedding!



Daddy and son. how cute is this little man?



and the bride and flower girl. This is the bridge at the Officer's Club on Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida. Just to my left is a sign that warns of alligators.




I love the chapel at Tyndall. it's so quaint and intimate. And my favorite time of day too. Don't you just love the light? We photographers call this the sweet light. it's right before sunset time.





Here's Kaylyn getting ready to come down the aisle.



Outside the chapel, looking in on the ceremony. Nice!







I always LOVE the expressions after the "I do's"!






Part Two coming soon. I did some pretty cool potraits at the end of the reception!
