It was a reunion for me.............

When Brother Sonny called and told me all the kids were home and asked if I could come over and take pictures today, I knew the calender was booked full, but I couldn't say no. And I'm glad I didn't.  It was such a joy to see Sonny and Martha and their kids, Greg, Gina, Jill and Wendy again. Greg and his family came home all the way from Arizona, Jill just recently moved back home from California; I grew up with this family and love them very much.

So, for the last shot, I set the camera on timer and jumped in there with them.

Last day of Easter Portraits went well........

My little cousins Hadley and her brand new 5 days old sister Hunter came out for portraits with Millie the lamb.  Ain't they sweet.

Candace brought her little boy Aaden out. And he loved the ducks and gave Millie a big hug.

And this is River, Ivory and Meadow.

Special Thanks to Jessica Frost for her talent and hard work.

Day 2 of Easter portraits.............

Millie the lamb finally figured out the bottle thing, so Caden and Lori Ann got to feed her today. Also, Caden and Layna came out for portraits. Another great day of portraits at Greg Brooks Photography.

My most famous client..............

I got to attend the fund-raiser for my most beautiful and famous client tonight. Miss Rodeo USA, Lauren Terry. I took my 11x14 portrait, the one that I intend to frame and hang in the studio, and got her to autograph it for me.
Awwwhh....Love you too Lauren! Good luck! You've made us proud!

I've never shot a football game in the snow......

until tonight. I made it out to a half of the LCHS vs ELHS Alumni Football game. Good to see alot of the guys back in my viewfinder having a good time. They shook my hand and I asked "how you doing", and they replied, "good, but I'm pretty tired right now".

Snowflake Pageant........

It was a perfect night for the Speake Snowflake pageant, because snowflakes did fall the whole time the pageant was going on. 94 pretty young ladies were in the pageant. Here are just a few of the portraits taken.
I got my picture made with the Reese, the daughter of my lifetime friend John David (who had to work last night). She had just won her division and came in beaming with that great big smile you see there.
My favorite memory of the night came when we photographed Miss Adair, (#89 in orange dress middle left of composite), she was elated, and said, "Eight years and eight trys and I finally won."
I said, "well persistance pays off does'nt it."
And she rolled her pretty eyes up high and proclaimed, "YES. It does."

In Memory of Mr. Beavers.......

I met Mr. Beavers when I became the photographer for Speake School a few years ago. He was such a nice man and will be missed by so many who's life he touched.
 I would always get  a little smile from Mr Beavers when he sat for his portrait, then he would leave me with a big smile.

The expecting Abbotts.......

After the session they sped off in thier Mustang in search of Rochelle some potato wedges.

Got a lesson in cotton picking today............

and had a really great time shooting LCHS Senior/Cotton Farmer, Will Cottinghams senior portraits this afternoon. Will is all about cotton,he told me one bale of cotton would produce 2000 pair of bluejeans. (That's enough last me two lifetimes). Cotton prices are down this year, 80 cents a pound, (he blamed it on China), but as we looked out over the beautiful white fields, I could see that he was seeing one thing, green, (money). It was good to see a Senior who knew what he wanted to do, and was very educated in what he wanted to do. Good luck Will.
And, it was pretty cool to ride in a brand new quater of a million dollar John Deere cotton picker.

Good Luck Lauren.........

Wet and muddy Jesse Owens 2012 Race..........

The LCHS boys split up and ran in both the Gold and SIlver division races, and
The LC girls weren't hardly ready for the starting pistol in their race, but they came back and ran hard through the cold rain that fell during their race.

It was a beautiful day for a parade..........
