Callie & Monty + 1 (well...almost)

Funny how time passes without us really having much concept of just how quickly moments come and go.  It seems like just yesterday I was riding to school in my mom's Chevy Monte Carlo when she told me my aunt, Melissa, was going to have another baby.  I was elated then to hear such joyful news, and I am elated now knowing that sweet little girl will soon be holding an angel of her very own.

Though we started this session two weeks ago, the rainy conditions prevented us from capturing the type of images I was after.  When we hooked up again on Friday, the late evening sun offered the perfect golden blanket of haze.  My aunt and uncle's farm, with its utopian feel, provided the sublime setting. As children, we romped about this land on countless occasions, blanketed by our parents laughter drifting on a sweet summer breeze.  Shooting there always gives me an easy feeling, and I hope it shows in these photos. Congratulations, Callie and Monty! Your love for one another shines in every image. I wish you only happiness as you embark on this new phase of your life. May little Gatlin bring you all the joys and wonder you deserve.  Love you guys!
