Happy Halloween from your friendly ladybug!

Props to my sweet husband for the photo shoot ;)

Best Coach Ever + Crazy Oliver

This post is in honor of my good friend, Dylan. He coaches a boys high school soccer team. Last Sunday, a couple of us went out to watch him coach. Of course, I brought my camera along to practice a little sports photography. It was a beautiful day and the boys played great-they won! Now, I don't know a ton about soccer, so forgive me if I use the wrong terminology :) Here are some of my favorite shots (Dylan's team is blue & white):

This is a shot of one of the boys kicking a goal from what it seemed like half-way up the field...it was AWESOME!


This picture is just funny to me...

I Had to squeeze one in of Dylan (the one in the gray shirt in the background). It looks like the players are looking back at him; although, I feel sure they are watching the ball ;)
Now, some of these shots made me laugh because I managed to catch some of the players that looked a bit like they were playing a different sport...for instance, this one closely resembles karate.

And this one...fencing...

Super good goalkeeper

Okay, I know he is from the OTHER team, but I just really love this shot.

Our other friends, Mary and Ryan, also came to support Dylan.
They are a really cute couple :)
Dylan's wife, Karin, is also a photographer. I will refer to her as the official team photographer :). Here are some shots I took of her at work. Check out her website: KSC Photography

It's pretty cool because she is one of my best friends and we started getting serious about photography around the same time, so we always have fun stuff to talk about!
We brought our dog Oliver to the game only to find out NO PETS ALLOWED. However, Wes decided he would bend the rules a little. After all, it is cruel to leave an animal in the hot car for an hour PLUS we live 30 minutes away from the field. It's not like we were going to let him loose and allow him to "do his business" in the middle of the soccer field. Wes played fetch with him and luckily, we did not get kicked out.

I would just like to point out how crazy this dog is. This first picture is just plain creepy. He looks like the Joker from Batman, but the rest are super cute :)
I LOVE these ears!

Words cannot describe how much I love this picture-he looks like a little rabbit!
This dog is CRAZY about Wes...and vice versa ;)

The PHILLIES Make Me Happy!!!

The Phillies just WON THE WORLD SERIES!!! GOOOO PHILLIES!! 

Last time the Phillies won the World Series was 1980 (when Tug McGraw (Tim McGraw's father) played)...Thanks to Google and ESPN for these shots...

Brent & Stephanie Engagement

Such a cute couple!! I LOVED taking Brent and Stephanie's engagement pictures and I LOVE this lighting AND I am completely IN LOVE with my new camera!! This was my first shoot with my new Nikon D700 and it was amazing! We took most of the pictures at Fenley Park and then headed over to the Cayce Riverwalk for some shots with the bridge. They are getting married April 4, 2009. Congratulations guys!!

Enjoy!
