Today was one of those days where time just seemed to fly. Every time I happened to stop and look at the clock, not a few minutes had passed, but rather hours! How? Was I really that engrossed in my editing and work that I truly did not feel the passage of time? All too often I think that is simply how life is. We have a brief quiet moment, we look around and think to ourselves, "Where did the time go?" Whether it be that next birthday, the fast approaching holiday season, the beginning or end of another school year... time simply soars. Frequently when I am photographing families and children that I have known for a while, I am taken aback by how much those sweet, precious children…

Some songs are simple classics. They make me think of good 'ol Americana, dusty back roads, and summertime breezes. As another southern summer winds down and we begin the slow transition into fall, I wanted to capture some of those classic looks and feels for my own walls.

Above all, I love seeing them smile with confidence and seeing that sparkle in their eyes as they tell me about themselves, their hopes, dreams, family and friends.- Jen I am pleased to introduce one such young lady and to present a sneak peek of some of my personal favorites from her recent session with Ever After by Jen.Her story is one that radiates joy and beauty from the inside out.

My days were full of imagination, blanket forts, dirt, tutus and laughter. As an adult, I still try to see the world and life with eyes of wonder, creativity and joy - the eyes of a child, of a person in love, eyes of innocence, happiness and pure wonderment.
