Anniversary :|: 60 Years of Love

It was such an honor to document a very special anniversary party. It wasn't just any anniversary... it was the Russ' Wedding Anniversary!
Mama and Papa Russ have remained in love for sixty years... yeh, you read right... SIXTY!!! 
Now the the Russ' aren't just any ol' married couple, they're my adopted grandparents! :) They mean the world to me and are the sweetest, most loving, gracious and kind people I know, full of life and overflowing with the love of the Lord. 
Ok, maybe the sweetness is more the better half.... Mama Russ ;) just kidding. Papa Russ is just as sweet and lovable! I think she finally rubbed off on him after 60 long years!!
It was a sweet occasion, as their family came in from all over to celebrate their love and commitment to one another. The family decorated the church and also prepared the food. Everything was  so beautiful!

Their Daughter, Cathy, is an extraordinary chef and caterer. She made the cake along with the other pretty food prep. The details were so pretty... it looked like a wedding reception all over again. :) 
Many loved ones came to celebrate this amazing couple's love for one another...


We managed to grab a shot of the whole family... along with each family unit.







.........and to think it all started with these two.
The next sequence is my fav by far! Such a sweet expression of sixty years of life, love, commitment, dedication, grace, and the Lord.

Mama and Papa Russ.......the short and sweet of it is..... I love y'all so much! 
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special celebration. May God continue to bless you with a life of joy and love with each other, in Him.

Beautiful Brock Bunch ~ Family + Children Portraiture

I woke up early Friday morning, and instead of going to work as usual, I headed to Mynelle Gardens in Jackson with a big cheesy grin on my face! It was cloudy, like as in thick, perfect, harsh sun filtering clouds; it was cool, and it was a perfect day for a family photo session with the Brocks.  I first met the Brocks at Redeemer, where we attend church. They were the very first family to invite me over for lunch and make me feel welcome, like a part of theirs. We hit it off like we had known each other for years, and they have graciously tolerated me as a family appendage ever since. Christina and Justin are the cutest coolest couple around, and they have truly, the most adorable kids this side of the Ross Barnett Reservoir! ;) They are fun, energetic, goofy, handsome, gorgeous, full of life, joy, and love.  I arrived at Mynelle Gardens not too sure about the location, having never been there before. I waited as Cree dressed her three chillins and fixed hair, placing bows, a...

Engagement ~ Trey + Jennifer

This past Saturday was a gorgeous overcast day in the park. The winds rushed by us sweeping hair and causing chill bumps but Jennifer and Trey were champs and stuck it out all three hours with me! Y'all are the best!!! I met Jennifer a couple months ago and she's sweet like some home made chocolate cake! She is so adorable and what I would classify as a true southern belle! This past Saturday afternoon I had the privilege of meeting the man that makes her smile. It took Trey a hot second to warm up to me and my 'all up in his face' camera, but once he got comfy, it was all she wrote.  They are so in love it oozes from them in every way, with every look, touch, kiss, and hug. I almost had to stop mid-session to clean my lens the love was so thick! ;) His quiet steady personality anchors her outgoing fun sassiness. They are such an fantastic couple, needless to say, as you'll see, my camera adores them both! His blue eyes next to his brown eyed girl, they're a ...
