This Christmas, Mark received a very special gift from Uncle Bennie.
We rode the Polar Express and enjoyed all is magic and wonder. It was particularly special because the train station was completely covered in a blanket of white snow making the trip seem even more like the north pole. It was a special trip for all of us, but will hopefully become one of Mark's most special memories of christmas time.....we can't wait to carry out the tradition again next year.....Thanks Uncle Bennie!!!!!

Got Milk?

This is Mark helping me out with my science project on milk. He was my model for some photos I added in my powerpoint. I added some chocolate to that milk for being such a good poser.......

The most FAB Wedding EVER!!!!

If you follow my circle of friends I know you have probably already seen these photos, but they are too beautiful to not share again. Brooke and Steven's wedding so fabulous that it is truly indescribable. Here are a few photos from the big day...and like I said before, this was a Martha Stewart wedding on crack! To view the rest of the 1200 photos, go to my online albums: http://www.capturethemoment.shutterfly.com/.

If anyone knows how to get these published in a wedding magazine, please call me!!!!!!!

Keeping up with Colten and Carson!

Ginny and Richard brought the boys over on the golf cart for some Halloween pictures....and they were such cute cowboys! We also did some fall photos of the boys and I loved how they turned out! I still can't keep from laughing when I say "cheese" and they say "cheeseburger"! Mark also had fun because he got not just one, but 2 buddies to play with after the photo shoot!

Mark and Teague

We couldn't resist getting some fall photos of Teague and Mark. We had to bribe them a little with some candy, but they turned out great! Saving these for christmas presents for POP!

Granny's House...

This video was a project I did for my Social Studies class. We were asked to create a project around a family artifact and create a historical timeline around it including facts and events throughout history. I chose my granny's house because it has been in our family for over 85 years and it is the place that many folks call home....not just in our family. I hope the video brings you as much pleasure as I had spending time with my grandmother finding out all of the details. Most of the photos I had never seen before and the music is from her brother, Carol Best, one of the greatest banjo players in Haywood County. I am proud to share with you the story of my Granny's house.

A webshow for Florence....

I have tried unsuccessfully to add a video file to this blog......click on the photo for a link to a video of Florence's 100th birthday party.

A few weeks ago I photographed a family who had come from all over the United States in honor of one woman....Florence Mateer. Florence was celebrating her 100th birthday....and what a party it was! Florence was born in 1910 and lived through WWI, WWII, the Depression, and Y2K. She was a Senior Games medal winner for many years and still loves life to the fullest. Congratulations, Florence, and many more! To view and order photos from the party you can go to my online album http://www.capturethemoment.shutterfly.com/
