Dylan Kirk Senior Portrait Sneak Peak

It is hard to believe that this guy is a Senior this year. I have watched him grow up before my eyes. He is an amazing kind hearted guy who I love very much. He happens to be a special little cousin of mine. He was the very first newborn baby that I ever got to babysit as a teenager. I'm not sure if this is why he is one of my very favorite little cousins but he sure has a special place in my heart. I remember the whole family calling him "DD" and him always being the smaller of his brothers but never missing a beat when it came to those two. He has grown into a nice and respectful young man who I know will go far in life. I love you Dylan enjoy the rest of your senior year!

Lady Ranger Tennis Senior Night 2013

I was able to take photos at the Lady Ranger Tennis senior night last week. These young ladies were very nice young women who were all smiles for the camera. Good Luck on the rest of your season ladies. Make many memories and enjoy the rest of your senior year!

Miss. H

    Where do I began to talk about this amazing little girl. She is my definition of a little miracle! I know that both her mommy and daddy prayed everyday for this little blessing. Her mother and I are very close friends. We met though a mutual friend of ours and we instantly had a great connection. Chan Miss. Hailey's mommy and I started trying to get pregnant at the same time what feels like an eternity ago. We both struggle with infertility issues caused by a condition called PCOS. We both have became a great support system for each other, and at times I don't know if either of us could have made it through this without one another. At least I can say I couldn't imagine going through this without her. She has been my rock, my shoulder to cry on and my verbal punching bag, at times when I have became extremely frustrated about the situation. We have exchanged frustration with one another and know exactly how each other feel when it comes to infertility, what it feels like to want something so bad but not being granted that one wish.
  
     I can remember the very moment she told me she was pregnant with Miss. Hailey! I couldn't have been more excited for Chan. I had joy in my heart knowing that she would be blessed with a little miracle. At that moment I felt the happiness that I would imagine you'd feel when you look at the pregnancy test and get a positive reading. I don't recall ever having felt such excitement for one person in my life. At that moment I realized that things aren't done in our timing, but in his timing. Made me realized that there was hope for my husband and I. That we would learn to be patient and that "if it is suppose to happen it will happen." Along with the excitement I was filled with I also gained peace. Knowing that not only Chan and Michael were blessed with this amazing gift but I too was blessed by this little miracle. Making me realize that this process doesn't have to be stressful and to let things happen when it is suppose to happen.

     Looking back I know that Chan wouldn't have it any other way. I know that she will be forever grateful for Miss. Hailey. That she will love her more than life itself and that she will be the best mommy to this little girl that she can be. I know that Chan will always be there for me no matter what and that I can borrow Hailey's baby love anytime I need to. I know that Chan will always understand my feelings on this matter and will be my rock any and every time I need her. I feel blessed to call her my friend and know that God put us in each other life for a reason. This is something that I will forever be grateful of.

     I know that Miss. Hailey will have a big heart full of compassion and love just like her mommy. I can't wait to watch this little miracle grow, love, and giggle. I love her like she is my own and can't wait to see what God has in store for her life!
Love You Miss. Hailey & Mommy Chan!

Todd & Shelly Engagement Session 9/2013

I had the honor of taking engagement photos for Todd & Shelly. I have known both of these amazing people all of my life. We have grown up together and are more like family then friends. I was excited when Shelly contacted me saying they had both decided to get married and wanted me to photograph their day as well as the engagement session for them. I with no hesitation at all said YES and was so excited for the two of them. Todd & Shelly survived the heat last week as I took photos of them. We laughed at Todd because he didn't have time to "practice his smile", and Shelly well like any beautiful women had her smile mastered! Thanks Todd & Shelly for choosing MVP to take your engagement photos. I can't wait to see the two of you on your special day! Love you two.
