Drew and Bailey

After being very busy and also being out of town a lot lately I missed my Drew and Bailey so much!! Sunday we had a little family gathering so I took advantage of the opportunity to photograph these sweet, adorable, beautiful and handsome children.  They were so good and mostly cooperative knowing there was $20.00 afterwards for each of them if they were good.  Money works everytime.  As Drew gets older I can see in some of his photos that he would much rather be doing something else.  I love them so much!!  Here are two of my precious 5 grandchildren belonging to Suzanne and Ross.

 This is one of my two beautiful daughters - Suzanne, Drew and Bailey's Mother.

I am so blessed to have such a great family!!  Didn't get Ross in any of the photos - he left early to go hunting!!

Little Fashionista - Miss Paisley

Paisley is one of my "Year in the Life" children.  I am always amazed at Miss Paisley's fashion sense.  Head to toe she is adorable!!  Feathers, bows, boots and earrings with bling - I love it!!!  We had a great time visitng  the Ivey family homeplace and camp.

 Paisley told her mother when they were packing for the photo shoot - "Ms. Maureen is going to "wove" this dress".  She was right!!  I loved it!!

Ben, Jennifer and Eli

Living on Ridgewood Road for most of my adult life has been a wonderful experience.  Recently we were blessed with some wonderful new neighbors, Ben, Jennifer and Eli.  As you can see they are the cutest family!!  Eli likes all things that move including 4 - wheelers (buttin-buttins) his term. A two year old and trying to get photos on a cloudy, rainey day was really fun, at least for me.  Not sure Ben and Jennifer were sure we were  having fun.  Little boys just love running and playing especially in rain puddles.  They are going to be great neighbors and we are so excited to have them in our neighborhood!!

McClure / Beech Family

 What a fun time I had with this wonderful family. Grandparents, gorgeous mommy, very handsome dad and two of the cutest most fun boys ever. From playing in the fall leaves to throwing rocks and even a water hole or two we all had a great time. I simply love this time of year when families come together to capture the memories for generations to come. It just warms my heart. You can see all of the love and happiness within this family in the photographs.

Jefferson - 10 years old

So hard to believe that my first grandchild is now 10 years old.  Not only is Jefferson such a special young man but he is a very charming and sensitive boy.  He is the reason I got into photography.  When he was born I decided that if I wanted to have good  photos of him and soon after, the other 4 grandchildren, I had to learn the skills of photography myself to get those great photos.  Having two gorgeous daughters myself I know that having the time to photograph your own children is almost impossible. So Jefferson, being the first grandchild, is the main reason I do what I do today.  That being said it has been my pleasure to get to photograph so many amazing and wonderful children, babies, couples and families.  I am most thankful to have been so blessed with family, friends and wonderful clients.  Thank you all for making my life so complete!!

Dillon and Sydney

This visit to Virginia has been a treat to me getting to shoot so many wonderful children and meeting new friends as well. Monday was a great a day in the neighborhood with Dillon and Sydney. Dillon, a typical little boy was full of energy and enjoyed the outdoors. He reminds me of my grandson, Jefferson. Sydney has the sweetest smile and the cutest dimples. You never know with a two year old how things will go but Sydney was truly a joy. Thanks Wendy for sharing your lovely children with me!!
