Sara and Brandon Engagement Session October 2011

Meet Sara and Brandon, an awesome couple preparing for an April 2012 wedding, which I have the honor of photographing. Sara's Dad J Dee McKay and I have known each other for several years now. J Dee is a musician and sound man, damn good at both, and we have worked many events together over the last 15 or so years. I remember Sara coming along and helping J Dee with gigs when she was around 13 or 14, I guess. Now she is all grown up and getting married. I feel proud, but a little old. These photos are from the engagement session today. Beautiful couple!

My first dove hunt.

Dana and I went to my good friend Neil Waggoner's annual dove hunt this weekend. Neil and his wife Vickie, their 3 year old twins Lex and Mary Beth and Neil's daughter Logan live on 40 acres off of 45 South in Lowndes County, MS, surrounded by Black Prairie land. I always love shooting new things, and this was certainly different from what I am use to shooting. Beautiful day, perfect weather and, at the end of the hunt, some of the best catfish I have ever had in my life! Lots of fun, I hope to do it again soon.

It was my first dove hunt...but not Dana's.

Ken Kemp and Neil Waggoner. I have known these two for MANY years. Ken and I played tee ball together in Propst Park in 1979.

Dana and I hopped on the 4 wheeler with Neil and rode the property.
