Gabriel with his mom and dad

This is the little fellow I thought was like a little angel with two pictures one with his mom and the other one with his dad. Isn't he just the cutest little fellow.

Gabriel

Gabriel, what a beautiful name, like the angel. This little boy was just so sweet. He had got a little sun at the beach before the birthday party. I thought he was just precious and I enjoyed watching his mom and dad with him and how loving they were with him, and their 3 year old little girl too.

Happy First Birthday Jacob

Here's looking at you kid

Went to Mike's nephew's 1st birthday party this weekend, there were lots of babies, I couldn't resist taking pictures of this little fellow, more baby pictures and birthday pics coming later.

Brandi

Thought I'd spotlight my cousin Brenda Gail's daughter and her photography website over at http://www.freewebs.com/brandihickey/ Check it out. She's very talented. I guess Nana gave us some of her artistic talents. Nana could draw, paint, sew, do ceramics, just about anything. I can see a little of my Nana when I look at this picture I took of Brandi at the last reunion we went too.

Autumn and Rere

Well I havn't been posting because about a month ago right after Mother's Day my back went out, 2 torn disc, 5 bulging discs compressing on a nerve. After many doctor's visit's and 18 shots, and 2 procedures, nerve blocks, I'm feeling better and on the mend.

My sister came up this weekend and brought Autumn. It did my heart good to see her, she kept me laughing

Little Fisherman Ethan

What a little sport Ethan is, he stuck to me like glue while he was with me, he doesn't let me out of site for long, he thought he was something out there fishing. We played lots of fun games, like hide and seek, and hot and cold, I enjoy being a kid while I'm with them, I sure am going to miss not being with them all for Myrtle Beach, S.C. this week with Daddy and everyone. Sometimes I just don't understand why things like this happen to my back especially at a time when I'm supposed to be enjoying life, well I am happy for the weekend I did get to spend with them.

Eli by the pond

Eli has grown so much too, he's such a little man without the long curls, I thought this was an interesting shot of him by the pond, it was one of his serious looks, I got a lot of him smiling big, and making crazy faces but I like this one, he wasn't as happy that I brought a new big camera because it was so big that Uncle Derek didn't let him play with it as much as his old camera, he and Autumn both were asking where my old camera was. Eli was full of questions, he even told me I didn't play with him as much as I used too, and when I did, he would sometimes say

B-O-R-I-N-G to let me know he wanted to do something else. He's quite good though since his little brother Ethan is attached to me like glue.

Autumn

She keeps growing faster and faster, she's becoming quite an independent little lady. I miss watching her grow from day to day or even week to week. I like the way this black and white turned out of her.

Happy Mother's Day

I went home for Mother's Day, I spent the night with my mom on the first night I went home, she cooked me meatloaf, we sat up and talked till midnight, got up early and had a wonderful breakfast, this is one of my favorite's of her that I took of her and my sister Dena, two mother's. I have a feeling my sister Sherry will be a mother soon as well, just a feeling. She's already like a mom with Autumn though.

Happy Birthday Sherry

Monday was my sister's birthday, I took this picture of her and Autumn on Mother's Day. For her birthday I gave her me with a bad back. They sure look pretty.

Aunt Evelyn's 90th birthday

My grandfather's sister's 90th birthday was this weekend. I got to see a lot of my cousins I havn't seen in a while so that was really nice. It was also mother's Day, and my sister's birthday this weekend, my back also went out this Monday, herniated disc they think, I'll know more later after the results of the MRI.

Aunt Evelyn lived right by my grandpa, my dad and aunt grew up right beside her and her two children Kyle and Marie. I was lucky enough spending every weekend with my grandparents and I remember walking up to her house many times on that old dirt road, she was always hard working at something but she always made me feel like a guest and very welcome. I loved her so much growing up. I was a little sad when I went to her birthday, because I realize how I havn't visited her as much as the years go on. She's still as beautiful to me though as she was when I was a little boy!

Green Eyes

Kristen has the prettiest green eyes, thought I'd take all the color out of everything but her eyes, wow.

Wind blown

The wind was blowing pretty strong! I'm not sure why, it's a simple picture, but I love this one.

Flower girl at the beach

They are just too fun to watch. I don't think her mom was too happy though that she ended up laying in the sand and doing angels in the sand, like angels in snow in her little dress.

Saturday Shoot with Laura

Saturday we had a wonderful photoshoot for Laura's senior pictures. She was such a beautiful girl. We had a great time with her and her mom. It was very laid back, we even found a nice manmaid waterfall over by Sawgrass.

Beautiful Bride Coral

The wedding was Friday, it was such a beautiful wedding, got some great shots. Coral was such a beautiful bride. The wedding was very touching, and I got chill bumps during many parts of it.

Engagement shots of Coral and Josh

Just a few engagement shots from this past Saturday of Coral and Josh. The soon to be bride looked beautiful. These two just look so happy and content together, they have that chemistry. You can just see the love and respect in their eyes for each other.
