Slaughter County Roller Vixens

If you want to know a fun way to spend a Friday night, check out the Slaughter County Roller Vixens. These girls put on a good show. Roller Derby is no joke, and personally I think it's more fun to watch than a football game. Especially with the awesome getups they wear. The teams names are "The Death Rattle Rollers" vs. "The Terrormedixxx". The after party was pretty rockin too. Live Punk Rock bands "3 Inch Max" and "Jade 52" Rocked the rink with pink mowhawks and Funky guitar playing. Hangin out with the Vixens was cool. It was a fun night, and I plan on going to another Bout soon.

You can check out the SCRV at www.myspace.com/slaughtercountyvixens to get their schedule of upcoming events. I know they will be skating in Port Orchard soon. Let me know if your gonna go, maybe we can meet up.

Here's Baby Joey

I already put up some picture's of Dillon and Kailey, but here are the pictures of the beautiful new 2 month old Joey. This little guy is so sweet. He's very even tempered and easy to make smile. Morgan is very blessed, with awesome kids.

Dillon

I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

I know I promised I'd post pictures of the other kids soon. Here it is a week later, and I'm finally getting around to it.

Here is Dillon, he's a cute little 6 year old, with many attitudes. You can see here he knows how to put on the sassy when he needs to. He's also got down the cute little puppy dog eyes and a laugh that'll make you crack up just watching him.

This is a picture of Dillon and his dad from around 3 years ago, Dillon's dad is away at war fighting for this country. God Bless Him. Don't forget to pray for our heroes and their families.

Keep posted, I'll put pictures of cute little baby Joey up soon. Hopefully more quickly than it took me to post Dillons.

Levi's Girlfriend

This weekend my friend who moved away, and just moved back to Oregon, came to visit me. We haven't seen eachother for almost two years. She recently had a new baby, named Joey. He's around two months now, and she has an older boy, Dillon who is 6 years old. Dillon and Vinny are good buddies, who go WAY BACK. Then there is her adorable little girl Kaily. Kaily is just 1 month older than Levi, my youngest.

I really wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of them visiting and get some pictures of the kids. They are just adorable, and as you can see, they are very photogenic. I initially intened to put pictures of all three of them up today, but I just couldn't narrow it down for Kaily. So you'll have to come back tommorrow to see the other kids.

Oh the reason I call her Levi's girlfriend is because while I was editing the pictures on the computer, Levi came up to me and said "Kaily, Kaily", and I said "Yeah, there's Kaily, is that your girlfriend", and of course he responded perfectly "Girlfriend". Made me giggle. I love that boy.

This is Levi and Kaily "Love is in the air"

More on Love

Here are some more couples that I have photographed over the years.

This is Charlie and Deseree. A very cute couple. You wouldn't know it by these portraits, but he was actually very shy in front of the camera. I liked how these two pictures came out though.

Many of you know Joanna and Terris. I have been photographing them pretty regularly since just before baby Tricidy was born. Keep posted for some cute newer pictures of Tricidy, coming soon.

Joanna and Terris 8 mts. pregnant.

Love Glorious Love

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I thought I'd write my blog on love today. These are a few of my favorite pictures of couples Iv'e taken over the years.

This first picture is of one of my favorite weddings I've ever been blessed to photograph. Their names are Fawn and Carlos. This couple flew to SanFrancisco to elope, and surprised their families with the news when they got back home to Mississippi. The only participants in this actual wedding ceremony were 4 of their friends, the minister, and my photographer partner (Susan) and myself. It was truly a romantic setting, with the fog rolling into the background, the sun about to set. I cried, and I didn't even know the couple before the day of the wedding. They were absolutly beautiful, and I'm sure they will have this romantic story to tell to their family and friends for years to come.

This next photograph, one of my favorites of all times, is of my husbands cousin Deanna and her new husband Lathan. Deanna was as a young girl, maybe 10 years old, a flower girl in my wedding. We watched this girl blossom into a beautiful young, responsible lady. She started dating Lathan while still in high school, and finally after he completed years of training with the Dept. of Forestry, got married. It was quite a long engagement. I am very proud of them both, and feel very privliged that they invited me to be their photographer at their wedding.
