Meet "K".
And she is just as precious, and sweet, and funny as she appears to be.
Here are a few I love.
The expression on her mama's face says it all!
Enjoy her while she's little, because before you know it, she'll be asking for the car keys!!

sugar and spice and everything nice
that's definitely what this little girl is made of!
earlier this week, i got to meet little "miss k" and her two big brothers "n" and "j"
they are a beautiful family who are obviously delighted to have a new baby sister to teach to swim, show how to build tents, and just plain spoil rotten.
here are a few more of my favorites from the afternoon....
these two boys were REALLY READY to put their googles on and swim, so here they are in action!
and lastly, some new actions i'm trying out. a little more artistic flair.
thank you "j,n, and miss k" and mom and grandma too! it was my pleasure!

bigger fish to fry
meet davey.
also known as "swave dave, carpet king", papaw david, and daddy.
he's the patriarch of this motley crew.
and while he looks big and tough and squeezes you so tight when he hugs you, you think you'll break, he's really a gentle giant.
a working man, who uses his calloused hands to put down flooring - carpet, hardwood, and tile.
but also, an artist - creating beautiful designs out of ceramic, clay, and oak.
i know. all of the rooms in my house were covered by davey. he designed the pattern for the tile in my master bath and taught me how to use a wet saw so i could help him on our mud room and second bath. ( now, he did put a hole in my den wall when he put down the hardwoods there, but i try to overlook that.)
he's also a man with huge heart.
the center of his heart, well obviously, his family.
mama lou, mamaw & papaw, glenda, kelly & clay, nathan & cindy, jonathan & april, and a whole slew of grandchildren, ....including little miss kate, who's due to make her appearance any day now.
anything, anytime, if he's able, he's there.
but the beauty of this gentle giant's heart is that you don't have to be a blood relative to bask in his love. he's also at the heart of this bunch.
personally, i've known him quite a while, as his only daughter is basically my sister. he's taken me canoeing, made me go get stitches, cooked me dinner, bought me beer, eaten my Klondike bars, listened as i chewed him out, and let me cry on his shoulder.
davey's heart comes with an umbrella policy.
and it's enormous.
he's also a leader.
especially when it comes to fish frys. he decides when, tells the boys what to do, "asks" the girls to help out, and then once the grease is hot and the tantalizing aroma of flounder, hush puppies, and french fries fills the air, he goes inside to politic, schmooze, and tell stories....... and boy, is he good!
those fish frys, while delightful to the taste buds, were just an extension of that great big heart of his. he raised lots of money for church, for families with medical situations, for kids' programs, you name it.
david martin & fish were always a winning combination.
were.
were.
because monday evening, his great big heart gave out.
and now all of ours are broken, and we're wondering how the void he left will ever begin to heal.
it was too soon, way too soon.
the only thing i can figure out,
is that the lord just had some bigger fish for davey to fry.
love you big guy.

up next.................
ok folks, here she is!
meet my other high school rep for the coming year.
this is "S".
you might recognize her from earlier posts. i shot her prom. she is such a funny girl.
when we went out earlier this week to shoot some individual shots, i'd ask her to look serious, don't smile...and i'd get 4 - 5 frames of ......
or this....
(by the way "S", my son LOVES this shot of you!!)
she had me in stitches as we tramped through warehouses, back alleys, and train tracks in the 90+ degree and 100% humidity heat of august.
anyway, she's at south rowan and in addition to being hilarious, she's also pretty bright and VERY determined. i ought to know. i got to spend 180 days with her at my "other job"
we did finally get a few serious shots, until someone else showed up & then she got silly again!!
thanks for a fun morning "S"! hope the school year is a great one.
