Calvary Baptist Church, Mother Daughter Tea Party, Mother's Day

Every year my church, Calvary Baptist has the annual Mother Daughter Tea Party, you don't have to be a Mother, but you do have to be a daughter to enjoy it!  The men of the church serve the ladies wonderful food and then there is some kind of entertainment.  This year was a style show.  Obviously it was not your normal style show.  They sort of mocked what we call things in fashion such as the one right above, "double breasted" dress, "cap" sleeves, "gym" (Jim's) shoes!  It was cute to see what each of these ladies came up with as their assigned "style".  They are a creative fun bunch.  Every year this is my opportunity to have my "giving back" to the outstanding women of my church.  Every session that I shoot gets one free 5x7.  I love taking these pictures of these ladies and their daughters.  I have a hard time coming up with a different, hasn't yet been done, set, but working with these ladies is a real pleasure for me.  Thank you ladies, organizers, men who served and crazy people who entertained for another great Tea.

The Leatherwood Easter

Barbara Leatherwood invited me to come to her family and extended family gathering Easter Weekend.  She has a really nice family who honored a very important member that day:  Her dad, Lonnie, "Pops" Terry.  He is a really nice man, who like soooo many men I work to photograph did NOT want me there!  But I think I finally won him over by the end of the Easter Egg Hunt!   What a fun bunch!  I really enjoyed all of your family Barbara!  Tell 'Pop' to behave!

The Nichols Family, With Roots in Ira,

The Nichols Family is an extended Ira Family.  Gwen, above grew up here in Ira with her brothers, Daryl and Myron Calley.  But life took her to other parts of the state and she grew a family of her own there.  These are the members of her family.  We had a lot of fun playing in the water, wind and having fun with cousins during the Easter Holidays.  (Yes, Easter was a while back, but Senior Season, has just now slowed down for me)  Gwen I hope you and your beautiful family enjoy your pictures.  I am looking forward to creating a bunch of books for you!
