Yay Shea!

Well, gee, I need to post!
I received a wonderful email from my friend Shea Halliburton yesterday and I need to share her images of her young cousin Charlie. He is the cutest thing! His daddy, Sammy used to read to my daughter Jordan when she was in kindergarten at East Montgomery. He was in the 5th grade and they came to the kindergarten classes to read to them. Is that sweet or what?
Shea is doing some really nice wedding work. She has great engagement photos of Sam Gentry and his intended.

Jordan and Michael

Well, we met Michael in kindergarten...I thought he was cute, Jordan wasn't as impressed.
Then in high school, Michael's Aunt Patty and I threw them together, on the road to club volleyball competitions. Michael is great fun and very not-shy. Jordan has always been on the quiet side and very reserved. It was a match meant to be. I so adore both my beautiful daughter and my future son-in-law and greatly appreciate their indulgence in a very pleasant photo session in downtown Clarksville. The wedding is July 12. Save the date!

Both my 'children' will graduate from my alma mater, Austin Peay, shortly. Jordan is due to walk the line in December and Michael (he hit a glitch in scheduling) will receive his degree the following semester. Then it's on to grown-up jobs.

There are SEVERAL more photos of the tickled couple at Pictage. Enter: Evans Rye Wedding

Jenny and Russell....so happy together

Now, that was fun!
Jenny and Russell are getting married next October and we had a fun engagement shoot today.
Russell is leaving in a couple of weeks on a humanitarian mission to Honduras and will be back just in time for the wedding, leaving all the fun of planning to Jenny!
Jenny is the granddaughter of my next door neighbors and has grown into quite a beautiful young woman.

They are so relaxed and comfortable with each other, the shoot was a breeze. They are just tickled to be together.






'Gimme a J'.... isn't it great to have your very own cheerleader?
And a fellow fashion plate? Nice hats! Thanks guys.

Looking Good

Gina and Grant's wedding this past Saturday was lovely. The church was filled with beautiful flowers and the outdoor reception commenced under a huge tent at the groom's family home, with a lavish meal for guests.

Here are a few of my favorite images from the day:

Trey is Four

My great nephew Trey turned 4 years old in May and we actually got around to photos before he turned 5! I adore his red hair. Here is one I like of Trey and his mom Jill. Jill is my sister's daughter and is a school teacher. What fun!

Volleyballers

My Juli in on the Clarksville High JV volleyball team, undefeated until last Thursday (!), and I take the team photos for our programs. Here's Juli, workin' it.

I liked this one of Megan because of her eye color. She is also a sophomore player.
I thought Leora's photo turned out nicely also:
We have a boat load of sophomores this year, which makes our JV huge.And there are only 2 freshmen: Hailee and Marissa
The juniors are great fun at a photo shoot.

And the seniors, along with the juniors and back-up setter Lesette, are having a stellar season thus far. They remain undefeated in district season play. Check their web site: volleycats.

Grant and Gina

Terry and I enjoyed Sunday evening with a very sweet couple we just met. Gina and Grant are getting married September 22nd and we took engagement photos in downtown Clarksville. I'm so proud of how downtown has been restored and revitalized (makes for a nice backdrop!).
Grant practiced some moves and fancy footwork on the corner of Franklin and 1st Street in front of the Roxy Theatre. Grant is a UT Grad (go Vols!) and Gina is an Austin Peay alum, but they have known each other since childhood, growing up in Ashland City.
They make a very attractive couple...can't wait for the wedding!

And then, it was off to Olive Garden and a pleasant meal to complete the evening. See more of Gina and Grant's photos at Pictage listed under Ray Gibbs Wedding.
