I just have to give a little shout out to all my photographers and potential photographers. I have to say when I first started shooting weddings, I was ecstatic about my new Jessica Claire shootsac! It was just what I needed to tote around all my equipment for weddings. But here I am 8 months later, not too excited about what carrying around a ton of bricks (ie camera equipment) over my shoulder has done to my back. Nothing against Jessica Claire :) . You know it’s pretty bad when your photography partner has the same back pain — in the same place — and carries the same equipment and shootsac! Oh my.

So I was doing freelance work for the Abilene Living Magazine and showed up at Advanced Chiropractic for a quick photo shoot. After taking a few pics, I leaned over the counter and BEGGED for a quick adjustment. Thankfully Jake was so awesome to squeeze me in. What was meant to be a quick adjustment turned into a month of chiropractic care!! And meeting the beautiful, expecting Crystal. I had a BLAST shooting Crystal’s maternity pics. She a beauty :) . After you check out her pics, be sure to stop by Advanced Chiropractic in Abilene. They rock!

Brandi is one of the sweetest people I have met. She loves her family and has such a beautiful heart :) . I have to say her husband Shane was quite the trooper! He never once complained about the heat or the length of the photo shoot. It always makes it more fun for me when the husband enjoys this special moment with his wife! You will fall in love with this family — so watch out!

Brandi, it was so great meeting you and your family! Many blessings on your move :) .Brandi Collage 7Brandi Collage 5Brandi Collage 4Brandi Collage 1Brandi Collage 2Brandi Collage 6Brandi Collage 8Brandi Collage 9Brandi Collage 10Brandi Collage 11Brandi Collage 3Brandi Collage 12

Stacy’s Maternity Pics

October 8, 2009

I met Stacy at dorm move in at Sam Houston State University in 2002.  She offered to help me move in and little did I know God was crossing our paths for a purpose.  She was a small group leader in Chi Alpha and invited me to start coming.  God wrecked my life for Him and made me a radical follower of Jesus.  Stacy is my best friend, one I can always call and count on.  When I heard she was pregnant I insisted on flying to Houston to take her maternity pics. Stacy is drop dead gorgeous so be prepared! Inside her tiny belly is Baby Roan :) . I can’t wait to meet him!!
