Memorial Day 2010, remembering our fallen warriors...

Our thanks to those
who answered the call.
Who took up the challenge,
and gave their all.
God bless those
more brave than me.
So that we can live
in this Land of the Free.

Here is a portrait of my grandpa, Bill Cole Sr., that I took and "re-created" to show him how proud I am of him! He fought the battle of World World II back in 1946, and he is still with us today at the wise age of 81!

Landon & Hunter's Ball Game

Landon & Hunter are in coach pitch baseball tournaments so I thought I could get a few shots of some serious baseball! These kids love baseball, and I love ball park hot dogs!

Keith & Katie Kitchen Shower

My little brother is getting married July 17th! Here are some pictures from their kitchen shower that all the Daly aunts did for them! They received lots of handy kitchen gifts, and even a cookbook that is titled "Anyone Can Cook"... no excuses for my brother not cooking anything!

Addison "Take 1"

Miss Addison taught me A LOT about children photography! Lesson 1 - always have something for them to sit in/on, as they do not like to be barefoot in the sticker grass; Lesson 2 - give them something cute to hold, or they will play with not cute things like twigs, pebbles, and dirt; Lesson 3 - do not sew pretty, frilly trim on the elastic necklines of children's shirts, they are stretchy for a reason as they will not fit over the child's head when the elastic is not able to be stretchy due to sewn on frilly stuff. Thanks for teaching me Addison - we will have "Take 2" soon since I know these things now!

Rebekah & Brian | Pregnancy

Rebekah and Brian are expecting a little girl who's name is Taylor Lillian! We took some family pictures of this happy bunch, and little Miss Jaci was cheesing it up for the camera! Everyone is so excited to meet Taylor soon! Can't wait!

Kristy

These are some of the images from my best friend Kristy's shoot! She was such a trooper (she is very much a city girl!) because we covered her in bug spray and sent her wading through the thigh high wheat fields on my family's land out in Moundville, Alabama. I love being in the country and hopefully it rubbed off on her some since her pictures turned out to be amazing!

Blue Angels

Here are a few of my pictures from the 2010 Blue Angels Air Show here in Tuscaloosa! It was only my second time to see them and they are amazing! Salute to Veterans!

Brenna & Webb | Engagement

This was the most fun I think I have ever had while I had a camera in my hands! I was lucky enough to be able to tag along with my awesome friend Megan Forehand on one of her engagement shoots! This property in Boligee was gorgeous with rolling pastures, animals everywhere, and not to mention the beautiful couple this shoot was all about!
