| Tomato Pageant |

Our county fair fun starts this Friday!  Each year the Tomato Festival Pageant is held with an individual representing from each township in the county.  Many whom have attended our fair know that preceding the pageant is the parade, and along that route you will see many of the participants’ families with signs, noise makers, and more!  This year I was honored to be contacted by a contestant’s mom to create shirts for her fan club!  What a fun way to support your township representative!  Best of luck to all participating in the 2014 Henry County Fair!

Say Hello to Baby Mila!!!!  This adorable little girl is the daughter of two great friends of mine, I graduated High School with her Daddy and met her Mommy through working at a mutual place.  I spent a wonderful Friday afternoon with all of them, got in some great snuggles, and of course some gorgeous shots of the beauty!  She was the perfect baby, no fussing, slept through the whole thing, and was so at peace in her Mommy and Daddy’s arms.  Congrats Pops & Joellyn!  Can’t wait to get some more snuggles in!

This handsome young man isn’t just only a great, sweet guy, but he’s also my cousin!  I was honored when his mom called and asked if I would take pictures for his ninth birthday!  Of course!  Who doesn’t want someone so adorable in front of their camera!  Happy Birthday Trey!

I’m lucky and honored to be a part of our community’s 4-H program!  Though our club has changed names since it’s start, the principals and integrity have stayed the same.  As an eleven year member and now in my tenth year as an adviser, this program has a large part of my heart.  Henry County Fair is just around the corner and the kids can’t wait to get their t’s and show off their pride during fair week!  Congrats to all members whom did well at county judging, those whom went onto state, and those whom will be showing during fair week!

Things have been incredibly busy at SSRM these last few weeks!  Several photo sessions are booked, some graphic art underway, and some t’s to be ordered soon!  The newest t-shirt art was for a local restaurant celebrating their seventh year in business and looking to do it with a bright exciting look!  SSRM takes your graphic visions and brings them to life!  Whether it’s t-shirts, promos, or even combing your photo session with graphics, I’m here to make that project from start to finish!

Mollie decided that she wanted to add just a few more shots to her collection, so we took a gorgeous, Tuesday afternoon and went back out to take a few more!  These are just a few of the many fantastic shots, love her smile and contagious energy!

Recently I put together some artwork for a local movie theater.  They have a family movie series and were looking for fresh new ideas to promote their summer family opportunities!  Some companies are looking for a simple art and others want something a little more, this company needed some of both.  Slides to put up on the movie screen to announce no cell phones and posters for families!

| July 4th |

A little Fourth of July fun with fireworks and some stills while enjoying some rare downtime!  My camera seems to go everywhere with me, whether I have a shoot or not!  You never know when you will find that perfect photo spot!  Fireworks are incredibly difficult to capture and they are always something that I had wanted to try and this year I was took full advantage of my free time and dslr, changed the settings, and came up with these fun shots!  I love how the lights trail and blur to show motion and how some are crisp and clear as if frozen in time!  Enjoy!

I had the fantastic opportunity to photograph this amazing musicians next promotional shots!  We met up on a warm June evening a few hours before sunset and rocked out the evening until way past dark!!! Catching up, laughing, listening to her play, and just having a girls night, it was such a refreshing evening!  Can’t beat it when your subject is up for anything and everything, and I think we did everything we could possibly think of!

I met Mollie several years ago after she had just moved to our area and I knew that after that first meeting, she would be a wonderful friend!

She is kind, hilarious, genuine, and full of so much talent, you just can’t help but love her.  She has more energy than anyone I have ever met, she loves to travel across the country and world, and I’m not sure that she can sit still for more than five minutes!

She has become a part of our family and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for her!IMG_0205

Alexis always seemed to want to hang the one foot over whatever we set her in and it was too cute to not photograph!  Sound asleep and ready for anything, thanks for being such a trooper Alexis!
