Zachary's Smile

Meet Zachary, the sweetest boy I know... he captivated me and stole my heart the first time I photographed him. Zachary is Autistic and April is Autism Awareness Month. Zachary was fortunate to be diagnosed at an early age and because of that, he is making great strides in every area. The most IMPORTANT milestone in his recent days is sharing with ME his precious smile. His smiles are like gold. They are breathtaking and wonderful. I needed to share it with the world...

Autism, also called autistic disorder, is the result of a neurological disorder that typically appears in early childhood, usually before age 3. Autism prevents children and adolescents from interacting normally with other people and affects almost every aspect of social and psychological development. While children with autism share some common signs, autism is a disorder that affects each individual differently and varies in intensity from mild to severe.

Some Statisitcs:

• 1 in 166 births
• 1 to 1.5 million Americans
• Fastest-growing developmental disability
• Cost of lifelong care can be reduced by 2/3 with early diagnosis and intervention

The Smith Boys

These boys are special to me. I dont know them well at all, not even sure what grade they are in or what their hobbies are.... but these boys are special to ME because MY son is special to their mom. Kathy Smith is my Michael's preschool teacher at Greenfield. She is amazing! My heart melts when I see her encourage him and smile at his capers... knowing your child is loved when they are away from home.. well that is priceless. This has been an incredible year for Michael. He is happy and loving to go to school. Thank you Kathy! Your boys are precious too! I was honored to have the opportunity to create these images.

Gullatt Boys- WATCH OUT! You are next!!! :)

Look at Heaven and Just Dance

The Bamburg Family

About two weeks ago, I had the priviledge of photographing Lauren and Dennis Bamburg at their South Bossier Country Haven. The hour or two I spent with them was refreshing... it made me homesick.. for my own family. Their two girls, Victoria and Olivia, are All American Daddies Girls , but the spittin image of their sweet mama! Seeing them race down the road throwing dirt up with their heels towards their Daddy's car... well that is what we all want. Family.

The images from this session will speak for themselves, but one image in particular.... well it needs to be shared. I have tried for two weeks to post it , but I end up with chills and get a little choked up(that's just the way I am guys!). But tonight I am ready to tell the story.

Victoria and Olivia were taking some shots walking down the dirt road holding hands. When they came back to Lauren and I , I asked Victoria to step back in to the middle of the dusty road. Just about that same time, the sweet golden sun started to set behind her. I think she was ready to stand and smile and all the formally boring stuff you do with photographers...

but I asked her to just look up to heaven and dance.

Spin circles...

Well she did.

She raised her little girl arms, she closed her eyes, and the most amazing calmness came over me as I watch her.... this sweet child was doing exactly what I had asked.. she was looking at her heaven and dancing..... with complete joy.

I will forever treasure this image.

Maybe you just had to be there... maybe not...

but every time I look at this.. I am going to stop, look to Heaven and Dance.


Thank you Victoria

Little Isabel

Meet Isabel Fontenot! Isabel was a joy to photograph as was her sweet mom.....

These are my kids! Left to right: Michael, III (4), Addie (6), and Mason (2). For some reason, they just don't listen to the current photographer in their lives! Getting them to look and smile is JUST not going to happen! But I still think this shot is my favorite so far because they are just "Being"......

Boy in a Basket!

Meet Lil Weisner! He was too cute this day!
