The Triplets!!!

I thought I would share some pics of my newest niece and nephews. Aren't they adorable?? Wesley's sister, Sara, has Baxter's sister dog (Dixie). Are you confused yet? Anyway, Dixie is a bad girl and got pregnant by the neighbor dog. Well, we actually aren't sure who the daddy is!! But, she had 3 CUTE pups and they look like black & white tri-color Springer Spaniels so far! Sara gave them temporary names - Bo, Luke, and Daisy. Boy, do they have distinct personalities. Luke is the BIG boy and eats everybody's food and whines like a baby. Bo has the prettiest face and is a sweet boy and isn't interested in puppy-wrestling too much. Daisy is a spit-fire and loves to play and nibble with her razor-sharp teeth. Luke is going to a home in Mobile and Bo is going to a home in Pensacola (yay!) and I think they are still trying to find Ms. Daisy a home. I tried to talk Wes into taking Daisy, but he said a firm, NO! :-( Here they are.....



This is the cutie pie Bo!




This is Baxter (left) and Dixie (right) about a year ago.

Janna & Sean

Janna & Sean got married in West Mobile Saturday night at the Hermitage Rippy Mansion. This home is an actual duplicate of President Andrew Jackson's home. We did something new to us by shooting a candlelight ceremony with a full moon. It was a beautiful night for a wedding with a great location for photos!









I love this shot....notice the brides initials on the ribbon.



Boy were these two into each other......









Sometimes a ring bearer has to be negotiated with.......











Tammie & Mark

Yeaaaaaaaah....Friday weddings! Tammy & Mark tied the knot Friday night at Cokesbury United Methodist here in Pensacola. I love Friday weddings just because they are out of the norm. The very lovely reception followed at the Garden Center on 9th Avenue.

Why we went to NYC

Okay, so here's the deal......Every person needs someone in life to give them a reason to live, to inspire them, to make them want to be successful. Well, for Rae that person for the last couple of years has been a photographer named Jessica Claire. We both just idolize her work which you can also view by looking HERE! Jessica is originally from North Carolina, but is now living in L.A. creating magic at the hottest weddings in California. She and another great photographer named Liana Lahmen from Atlanta hosted a 3 day seminar in NYC for some 1 on 1 time with a few of their biggest fans. While the tution was a little out of our budget for us both to attend, Rae participated and learned some fantastic things while I played photographer around the streets of NYC.
Jessica also is dating another very successful photog in L.A. named [b] Becker. He is the inspiration to me that Jessica is to Rae and makes some fantastic wedding photos which you can see HERE! Make sure you view their blogs as well as their websites. As an added bonus, not only did Rae get to spend time with Jessica and Liana, but the Becker showed up too and Rae got to spend one afternoon with him shooting on the streets of NYC. What an amazing experience! Here is a little of what she did......

These are some of the photos Rae took of the wonderful models that were the subjects for the cameras:







This couple was a bride and groom of Becker's a couple of months ago with a fabulous wedding in Bermuda......you will probably spot them in his blog if you look.



Here is a very sexy, very pregnant Rae posing for a shot with "the becker"
