Fall is for FOOTBALL!

Fall is a busy sports season. For the most part we shoot football and since football teams require more players than other teams they tend to be larger. But, we are also doing our share of soccer and cheer leading.
We did pictures for Almor West last Friday. We've worked with their coach for years and was happy to see that he was still coaching the team, even after his own son moved on to middle school.

If you're a regular reader of my blog, you probably recognize the coach - Robert Newport. I did family portraits for him and his wife recently and they were featured on my blog.

The Newport Family

This is the Newport Family!

I've done pictures for them for years, but up until now they have always been sports photos. Robert coaches, Reed plays football, basketball and baseball and is now into wrestling. And Abby has played baseball and basketball and she's now into cheerleading.



For family photos they chose The Mattie Beal Home for the location because that is where Robert and Alicia were married.

I've really enjoyed watching these kids grow up.

Cheerleading

Cheerleaders are so much fun!

And so cute, too!

This one has a smile that can brighten any room!

Rayelyn Smith's One Year Old Session

This is Rayelyn!

Isn't she just precious?



I love doing One Year Old sessions! I try to get a few good shots and a lot of facial expressions and then I like to let the little one dig into their cake!



We call this a Cake Smashing Session because by the end of the session the cake is pretty much destroyed and the birthday boy or girl is a mess!



But, it is so much fun, and the pictures will make life long memories!

With her Mommy & Daddy!

I was really impressed with the love I saw in this little family. When you see relationships that work so well you get a feeling that God had something to do with bringing them together. I got that feeling with this little family. And I'm excited to meet their newest addition which is due in May.

Rayelyn!

With Mommy!

And with Daddy!

I think she's both a Mommy's Girl and a Daddy's Girl!

Hugh Bish Football

For the last couple of weeks we have been busy shooting sports. We've shot football, soccer and cheerleading and we have volleyball tonight. I've also done a family session and a one year old portrait session complete with a cake smashing, so I'll be updating my blog with those things eventually. But for now.... here is Hugh Bish Football!

This is Bowin Hargis! He's the running back, the kicker and an all around star athlete!

This is the Pee-Wee Team!

And here are the Midgets!
