Mike & Sherry Darling

I cannot explain how blessed I have been by this couple. I am excited because we  have tried & tried to set a date for their photo shoot, but things kept getting in the way. So we finally set it for Mother's Day weekend. This is the only thing Sherry wanted for Mother's Day and Mike said, "Good try!" which, to me sounds like, "yeah right!" But I THINK he meant, "Yeah right! That's not the only thing you are getting!" :)

At first, it was a little hard, because the sun was pretty harsh, but the more I took pictures of this couple, the more we warmed up to each other. I could tell there was a little tension and maybe a little nerves, but that didn't last very long. Especially when I had them looking at each other instead of at the camera. I love this family & am so thankful that God has placed them in my life.

Mike & Sherry, hope you enjoy these pictures!!!! Thanks for being a Godly example of what it's like to be married as well as serve God by serving others.


 

 
 
 
This was supposed to be a shoot of just the mommy & daddy, but she came out with us & this sure made for a cute picture :)


 


 


I absolutely love how at ease they are in this picture. We tried a few posed ones, but they were too posed, so I went to the best thing I knew. :) Never fails to have the husband look at his beautiful wife & see the smile on his face?? well, I think they are in love. :)
 
I asked if they were OK with "Kissy" pictures and Mike didn't hesitate at all. :)




 

 

 
 


 
 




Sarah picked some flowers for her momma & brought them to her for some pics :)


I loved how at this point, their kiddos came out and were watching with smiles on their faces. :) It brought a smile to my face & melted my heart to see that their children could see the love they have for each other. 
 Beautiful woman inside & out! :)

 
 
Mike & Sherry, I hope you like these pictures!! You guys are a beautiful couple!!! Thank you so much for letting God use you to be a blessing to us as well as to everyone around you! I love you guys!
Enjoy!

Mark & Bevan *Married*

          The morning of the wedding, I woke up to the most beautiful sunrise I have seen in such a long time. I took my camera out & couldn’t stop looking at the sun. It was breath taking. Next thing I noticed while sitting on the porch was a bee on a beautiful purple flower.     Normally I’m afraid of bees, but this time, I couldn’t look at it without looking at how God could create something so beautiful.   A few hours later, my husband & I took a nice walk around the woods. As we walked close to the river, something jumped out in front of me & scared the life out of me. But as soon as Isaac wrapped his arms around me and whispered in my ear to calm down & breathe, I stopped long enough to see that it was a baby deer, which I have never seen before. The day was going so well, until about an hour before I was supposed to arrive to start taking wedding pictures. It was pouring down HARD!  ...

 It's been quite a while since I have made a post here. A lot of life has happened and I am not in a place to share too much right now. But I will share these unedited pictures because I have yet to get an editing software yet, but I am hoping to start up my photography company again soon! So, I will share these sweet pictures I took of my boys at Myrtle Beach last April. But as I do, I have a question I want to ask. Have you ever heard a song and immediately have this image of what this song is saying and come to tears? Yep, this is definitely me. I first heard the song called, "Rise Up" by Andra Day,  in a kids movie & immediately started crying.  The idea that I was broken down & tired felt so real to me. But I was learning how to fight for myself. I have been hidden for so many years and I couldn't find the fighter in me. But when I heard this song, along with everything I was learning, I decided to "walk it out".  And I rose. I was still afraid,...

I have had the pleasure of taking this family's pictures 5 times & I have loved every second of it!!! The first time I took their pictures, Erin & Daniel were expecting Sammy. They weren’t due for another two weeks or so, but I guess the whole getting up & down for pictures might have helped the process along.  So a few days later, Sammy was born.            The 2 nd time I took their pictures, Sammy was 1. We took family pictures & I had no idea what was coming.     Towards the end of the shoot, Erin pulled an orange sign & said, “You can’t tell anyone about this yet.” And I said, “of course” without knowing what was coming. She turned the sign so I could read it and it said, “I’m going to be a big brother!” I squealed & laughed!! I was so excited beyond what words could say! If you know this family at all, you know that both Sammy & the newest addition are a huge blessing!!!! ...
