Although we are not able to travel to Mississippi for the wedding Jennifer asked if we would meet her and her fiancee, Jason, for some fun engagement pictures at the Hunter Art District.
It was fun hearing about Jason's planned proposal which included the help of a violinist friend. On his way out the door the friend broke his bow and had to call Jason and explain he wasn't going to be there.
I think Jason's dog, Patton, seen here, came through with the engagement ring tied around his neck.
Best wishes and God bless to Jennifer and Jason!

Garrett and Olivia
It is really fun to watch Poppy interact with the kids that come our way. Garrett loves cowboys and playing shoot-em up and "reach for the sky, Partner!" So I could tell, Poppy was right at home and boy did his eyes light up when four-year-old Garrett mentioned Roy Rogers.
Then to top it off, here is Olivia, Garrett's charming, adorable little sister that seemed to really love the attention and the camera.
We had such a good time and thanked Whitney and Mark over and over for bringing their beautiful children our way. Please take the time to check out the slideshow.

Liz Power Photography in the Newspaper today! 10/28/7
Sooooo I thought this was pretty cool and thought I'd share it with anyone who wants to read the article published about our studio in the Newspaper today. We're pretty excited they wanted to do a story about our family business. As many of you know, Diana and I (Becca) joined Mom and Dad (Liz and Terry) in this business not too long ago. Diana is all about photographing babies, and Keith (my husband) and I are all about weddings. Working here is the greatest thing ever.
HERE IS THE ARTICLE. IT'S IN TODAY'S PAPER IN THE BUSINESS SECTION.
Keeping photos in the family

Liz Power is ready for her youngest daughter to start having children -- or at least she can't wait to photograph them, she said.
"Well, we have to arrange it around the wedding schedule," she said, giggling with her oldest daughter, Diana, who already has four children.
It was a workday, and Terry and Liz Power sat in their living room, full of photo albums and hung portraits and talked shop with their two daughters, Diana Simpson and Becca Rocha, who double as employees from nine to five.
It's the end of the wedding season, and in October the team is scheduled to shoot ten weddings.
"I don't look at myself as a boss as much as the one with the most experience," Mrs. Power said.
Mrs. Power, owner of Liz Power Photography in Red Bank, started her photography business in 1993 at the age of 40.
She has weathered the technological changes of the photography industry -- the move from film to digital and the emergence of online proofing -- but she is hoping her daughters will push their business ahead of the curve.
Since her daughters started working at the studio this fall, Mrs. Power has begun a successful blog, and she said the family also plans to move to a full studio and expand their children's portrait business.
The studio has provided online proofing through their Web site for two years. But, she said, their site, www.lizpowerphotography.com, began to attract more visitors once they began to write about shoots and post pictures on its blog.
"A big part of photography today is building relationships with clients," said Mrs. Simpson, who helped develop the blog. "When a mom opens up a blog with pictures at her workplace (to show fellow workers), you can't purchase that type of advertising."
Mrs. Power said she never thought she would work with her daughters, who both agreed they did not want to do photography when they were younger.
Yet, portrait photography became more appealing to them, said Mrs. Rocha, when they realized that it is a way to tell family stories.
"When a bride gets her album it's a piece of art," Mrs. Power said. "You used to line people up and shoot them. Now you are constantly working, looking for the key picture."

Christina & Joe, Patten Chapel Wedding, Sheraton Read House Reception, September 15, 2007
Congratulations Christina and Joe! Keith and I are so glad we got to be a part of your big day. Your wedding was so incredibly beautiful and unique, that I must have a very long post dedicated to it.
Here is the slideshow! (Again, it's a long slideshow b/c your wedding was just awesome)
Here are several favorites. I chose a lot not only b/c it was hard to narrow it down, but also I wanted to show a full variety. I want everyone to see the different kinds of shots we get on a wedding day, whether it be candid, posed, emotion-filled close-ups, or full-landscape artistic images.
Candid coming off the trolley:
Close-up (And beautiful! Christina is one stunning bride.)
Landscape/Artistic: The wedding could not have been on a more beautiful day.
Walking with her dad into Patten Chapel. I love this perspective from behind the doors.
A Closeup/Candid of them leaving the chapel. I love the movement in it.
Artistic Shot: This lighting was incredible.
And I'm pretty much in love with this shot. The water behind them is amazing.
Fun Bridal Party Stuff:
Another one I'm obsessed with. The movement around the Trolley is so cool.
Loved this one of them with this beautiful backdrop.
Newspaper Close-up!
Sweet Close-up during their first dance.
The room at the Read House looked incredible. The lighting in the room was red & orange (Joe is Egyptian and much of the decor was in that theme!) and I loved these where the Videographer's light highlighted Christina. The bride should always be spotlit like this.

Happy Birthday! Aidan is ONE!!!
Post from Diana:
Last Saturday I had the pleasure of going to Aidan's super fun 1st birthday. Shelley went all out on all of the little details and decorations that went into the party. Aidan is so loved and it was just precious for me to get to be a part of all the fun and excitement. Here are a couple of shots from the party. Thanks, Shelley & Daniel!
