Lots of leaves!!

Aren't they so adorable!! This is a picture of my niece and little nephew....piled in the leaves, it was chilly, but they didn't seem to mind, we just snapped a few, and ran back inside. Gotta to get back to editing, just had to post one of them tonight!

My, My, MY!!!

Hello Everyone, I had to post this image tonight...I can't believe just how fast 3 years go by! I'm sure everyone around town is dying for me to do something different with these babies...but I've always just loved this ad with them ....but they sure don't look like this anymore!! My, My, MY!! What fun this was, actually every session is fun with this family...and believe it or not, its getting easier! We were talking about all of our past sessions, the first session, I got to help feed, and change diapers...I wanted another baby so bad after that one, and then they got mobile!! So the next year was alot tougher....and then more mobile...and a little tougher to get everyone to just sit in one spot the next year...and this year, now 3 YEARS OLD! And big brother is a school boy now, its always been a little frustrating for him...he smiles and then they're not, I think he actually had alot more fun this year! So with a 6 year old, and 4 ~3 year old toddlers, I think we did pretty darn good! I always dred this for their parents, I know its so hard, and I had to cancel on them last minute a couple of weeks ago because my 7 year old sliced a chunck of her toe off and we had to run for stiches, but to be honest, I think we had a much better day because of it! Well, got to run...gotta get girls to bed, its late start tomorrow at school so everyone is still up, talk to you soon~ Penny

Happy Halloween!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

From the Copeland Girls!!

Some good lookin' Seniors!

Hello Everyone,
Thought I would show you a few of the Seniors that I've done this year so far...I know, I've taken alot of you, but this is the only one's I've gotten done so far. I've got a few family sessions I'm wrapping up tonight...I'm sure they're dying to see them too?? I'm staying about one day ahead of a month...so if that tells you anything, its not pretty! I'm gonna pull an all nighter tonight...husband is coon hunting, and the girls are all having sleep overs, so this is the night! Big plans...Catch up & coffee! I'm getting a late start, but I wanted to get a few of these on here. Check back in a few days, hopefully I'll have a few more to post...PENNY

Copeland Girls Rule!

I finally did something for myself today...I took MY girls pictures! That was something I had planned to get done this summer, and never did...not that any of you aren't as important...but my own baby girls have had to wait, and wait...and me, I've had to wait and wait!! Now I can get my jewelry ordered!! I know at least Amanda will be as happy as I am, the rest of you will just have to wait and see....

These are my girls, all just as beautiful as the next. All of them wanted to do a "hottie" look, but they look way to old!! Even Mary wanted to strike a pose, she's gonna be a handful!! Anyways, I wanted to post them tonight since its been a while, and also, wanted them to be able to show them off at school tomorrow. I've got to finish a wedding album tonight, so its back to the real world, but tomorrow...I'm ordering my new jewelry! Good night~Penny

Remember....

I wanted to write a little today about this great country we live in...some of you know today is my birthday, yea...9/11 changed so much for me 7 years ago. Its hard to think of my birthday when I think about what our great country went through and all of the ones that were lost that day...whether they were in the Twin Towers, airplanes, the Pentagon...or just the rescue workers doing their jobs and lost their lives serving others.....I cried for most of the morning, I told my girls we were all going to wear our red AMERICA shirts and why, and then I turned on to watch some of the programs....Some of us have no idea what was lost that day, Mommies and Daddies...Grandparents...Aunts & Uncles, and friends....families from different countries. We take for granted just how much "Freedom" costs, and just how easy the ones we love can be taken from us. I just want each of you to say a prayer for those families that are still in mourning, and pray for our troops and our government...its been 7 years since this attack, and they've tried since...you can say want you want about the government, but they've done a good job protecting us this past 7 years....My gas is way to high, and money is tight...but is there any other place on earth you'd rather raise your family?? I feel safe here, there isn't a day that goes by that I even worry about my freedom....or my safety. See, take for granted...On a day like today, you have to stop and think about our safety, and I still feel safe, sad today...but safe. GOD BLESS THIS GREAT COUNTRY, LAND THAT I LOVE!! GOD BLESS AMERICA~ Penny

Trash the dress??

I have fallen in love with this couple, more than they know. They are so good together, fun, playful...totally HOT!! Everything you could want in models, but even deeper...they truly love each other, and are the perfect example of things even better on the inside than the outside, they are just the best! Other than getting my beautiful bride "car sick" we had a wonderful day. We ended up at the same park and fountain that he proposed to her, which made it even better!! I wanted to share with you a few, there will be soooo many...but I knew some of you were looking forward to what "trash the dress" really was, and we didn't trash it, there is a chance you're gonna get dirty, but you know...most of the time its already dirty from the reception, so its more like we just washed it in the fountain :)

The parking garage...My husbands idea, I know!!

Just beautiful!!

She was so sick by now, but you sure couldn't tell~

See what I mean by playful, so cute!!

Okay, this had to be one of the coolest sessions EVER!! I hated to even show my husband this last one...all he could say was...WOW! I'm just glad I couldn't read his mind :)

My sister and I had a ball doing this, and I hope this just shows you its more like a contemporary bridal session than a "trashing" I think we're gonna get her dress out

( she's about the only one I know that can still fit in her wedding dress after 5 years)

and see if we can't talk my brother in law into a session...

Thank you to my brave couple for being my first, Ashley....Let me know what you think!!
