Forest, Mississippi may not be close to anything (including a Starbucks!), but it is BEAUTIFUL countryside! Dan and I were so lucky to get to celebrate with Erica and Matthew in May, spending two perfect rain-free days with their amazing family and friends. These are just a few of my favorite images from our shoot in a tiny town in the middle of the Bienville National Forest…

Erica and Matt, thank you guys so much for bringing us out to Forest to celebrate with you! More photos coming SOON!

Meghan & Paul

Meghan and Paul are headed to Belize to GET MARRIED any day now! I’m so happy to have met them and been a little part of their story. The first couple of images are outside Murphy’s, their first-date spot.

Our last stop was Limerick Junction, where Meghan and Paul actually met for the very first time. These are my faves…

Thank you guys for hanging out and being SO fun to photograph! Have an amazing time in Belize!

The Bohn Family

I’ve known Devynn online for several years now — she’s a fabulous photographer in Palm Beach, Florida — but we met in person for the first time the day I made photographs for her family! She and her husband are completely awesome, and their boys are WONDERFUL. They had an unusually long attention span for picture-taking — I can only assume they’ve been well-trained by their mom! I can’t share this post without also paying tribute to little Truman, who is in a better place than this world, but is clearly with his parents and brothers in spirit…

Thank you for giving the this chance to photograph your family, Devynn! I’m SO happy to know you (for real) now!

Marek Matousek, Actor

Dan & Anne — Tue, 03 May 2011 17:45:00 +0000

Marek looks like a total badass, but he’s incredibly nice, and totally goofy — that’s why my favorites below are mostly smiley shots. He and Dan have been working together on a film, and Marek needed a few photos showing his current look before heading back to L.A. (where his super-adorable wife Cindy is, I’m sure, DYING to see her man after all these weeks!) Learn more about Marek at www.MarekMatousek.com.

Erin Bethea, Actor

Dan & Anne — Tue, 03 May 2011 17:39:31 +0000

If you’re a Kirk Cameron fan, you might recognize Erin from the movie “Fireproof”; I know Erin because Dan and I shot her wedding almost 2 years ago! She’s genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever met, and her family is FANTASTIC! I was so happy when Erin showed up to our shoot with her sister, Hayley! Learn more about Erin at www.erinbethea.com. And, as always, BIG shout-out goes to my right-hand gal, fab hair and makeup stylist Cayla Roberts.

Erin’s sister Hayley snapped this picture of me photographing Erin! LOVE IT! You can see the pictures *I* was taking below…

Allison Suzanne, Photographer

Dan & Anne — Tue, 03 May 2011 17:33:28 +0000

It’s always an honor to be asked to photograph a photographer! Allison is about to be featured in her community’s magazine, Our Town, and needed a few bio pictures. She’s so stinkin’ adorable! Check out her work at www.AllisonSuzanne.com.

Spring Mini Shoots

Dan & Anne — Sun, 01 May 2011 17:15:54 +0000

I’ve started a pattern of offering Mini Shoots every spring and fall, affordable 15-minute portrait sessions at one of my favorite local parks. Here are some of my favorite images from my recent Spring Minis!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to everyone who came out! See you in the fall!

Megan & Reggie (+2)

Dan & Anne — Sun, 01 May 2011 14:55:00 +0000

I’ve always thought Megan was ridiculously beautiful, but now that she’s expecting TWINS she seriously looks even more phenomenal!

I can’t wait to meet these babies!

Stephanie & Brent are engaged!

Dan & Anne — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 03:37:10 +0000

I met Stephanie and Brent for the first time when we met up to make their engagement photos. Brent let me know that he had no intention of doing any cheesy smiling…but you really can’t NOT smile around Stephanie! She and Brent are opposites in all the ways that make them perfect for each other! I’m so happy to get to celebrate with them at their wedding in October!

Brent picked out this awesome graffiti-covered building for the last photos of the evening. Each of these beautiful pieces is on the same long warehouse wall!

The Evans Family

Dan & Anne — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 03:33:13 +0000

I’ve known Sarah since we were in junior high school, and I’m so happy to know her still, so many years later! Even better is seeing her so happy, with a wonderful husband and a precious little daughter! Sarah and her family took me out for pizza then we spent some time taking photos at Grant Park. Little Faith wasn’t in the smiling-ist mood, but she still managed to be totally adorable in her photos!

I love you, Deeter!
