My son ran in the Whiskey Road Race 2 mile this morning. Here’s a video clip though it is shaky due to my husband’s mobility. (Note to Joe, the zoom button is in the upper right corner. I love you!) This race started at 7:30am. Joe ran the Whiskey Road Race 10K at 8am. Wesley tried to record his finish, but it just didn’t work out. Good job both of you!!
For those of you not from the Aiken area, Whiskey Road is the name of the road the race starts and ends on.
I also apologize for being MIA with posting to this blog. Let this be step 1 to a return.
This mom was past her estimated due date. It never dawned on either of us that she could have a New Year’s baby. I arrived to meet her in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot in Bamberg where she spent time walking to get to the hospital with her by 10:00pm. There was a riotous group of people outside the emergency room for a gunshot victim that had been brought in. That explains the police cars.

Mind you - there is no epidural available at this hospital. Good going, mom! I also noticed a similarity between me & Jody - laughter when in pain! But, this whole family was just so funny and in good spirits the whole sleepless night! I chose the leading verse in the slideshow because that is what was on my mind the entire time I spent editing their images.
Beautiful family! For those that do not know, this is her 5th beautiful child. Her 3rd child and my 4th child were born 1 day apart and will be 4 years old in just over a week! Here are a few images for a sneak peek. The slideshow is below.
The slideshow below will temporarily need to be accessed here.
Welcome to readers visiting from our ad in the Augusta Family Magazine’s October baby issue! Thank you for taking the time out to visit my blog. You can use the register link on the right if you’d like to sign up for email notifications of new posts. That is optional, but encouraged.

I personally believe that you will know whether or not you would be comfortable with birth photography. If after viewing samples below, you believe that you may be interested, let me know via email. I can book up to 3 births per month currently, so you will want to book as soon as you are sure. Paid births are not required to sign a release to share images. Signatures would be voluntary before or after the birth. Privacy can be maintained. I do ask that both the mom-to-be and the dad-to-be make sure they are comfortable with the presence of me and my camera in your delivery room. In a few cases, I may consider only photographing after the delivery, but that is not ideal or the full birth story. It will also depend on hospital policies.
I’m very excited to be taking my niche to the public. This is absolutely a service I LOVE to provide! A sample album is available to view at a free consultation.
“John and Cleve In the Morning” is airing on wafj, our local Christian radio station. This morning, they are discussing what happened to Cleve this weekend. Here’s a link to their morning show webpage where they’ve posted this picture below. When I got this photo, I was pre-focused and anticipating this shot, but this guy is really quick. It is only by the grace of God that I was able to get this close to this moment!
Wayne Herring is the Evangelist with Karate for Christ. You can contact him via email. His testimony for Christ is amazing.
The APCC Lifewalk was held at Odell Weeks Center in Aiken Saturday morning from 9-12. This year’s theme was “Take a stand for life”. You can visit their website at http://www.aikenpregnancy.org.
I was really hoping for a maternity session, birth session or marketing of related sessions on Labor Day itself. When we booked a maternity session for Saturday, we thought “close enough”. Then, I booked a maternity session for the morning of Labor Day! I was really excited!
Her husband is currently still overseas. We are all praying he will get to come home in time for her delivery. Pray with us for this.
Here is a sneak peek from the session! Wesley - I sincerely hope you enjoy seeing your beautiful wife’s pictures in anticipation of your return home! God bless you and all those working with you! Click play below to view the slideshow.
I figured this would be a fitting puzzle given that I have missed posting for a couple of weeks. We’ve been busy. Thought I’d throw some more fun your way.
This image is from one of the many balls that took 30-seconds to reach the pins thrown by my two youngest children. It was a fun time playing ONE game for TWO HOURS!
