New Parents, Brently Smith

It's kind of fun watching new parents with that first baby.  They are absolutely sure that not only will that child break but that they might be the ones to break him!  If not them, YOU!  Chuck and Rachelle are madly in love with tiny little Brently who made his surprise entrance into the world the day after Christmas.  The Smith's are the youth ministers at Calvary and are very sincere and capable of raising sweet little tiny Brently.  He is a beautiful little man and we are all proud of him for them!
Welcome to the world little Brently....grow strong!

Haley, Craig & Tuff Trash the Dress

Haley's dad, Jr. Ingram, wasn't thrilled with this opportunity!  But he loosened up!

I don't know who was in charge of the graffiti...I'm sure it wasn't me.  Absolutely sure.  I am pretty sure that most of it was already there.  But what fun we had utilizing it.  Craig, Haley and Tuff are three incredible people.  Full of life.  Full of love.  Full of fun.
We enjoyed Haley's dress what we thought would be for the final time but once the day came to a close Craig decided that he had such a good time trashing the dress that he decided they should keep it and the shirts that he and Tuff wore.  One of the amazing things about this shoot was that the next day at church Haley, Craig & Tuff were spotless!  I thought they would never come clean!  Pretty sure that dress is still a mess though!
One of the purposes of this shoot, this opportunity was for Haley to feel like she had done some things in her wedding dress from six years ago that were indicative of her and Craig's personalities.  I think she finally got it done!

Sneak Peak, Haley, Trash the Dress!

 Introducing Craig and Haley Leatherwood.  Many of you already know this beautiful couple. 

 They are so alive.  So in love.  So wild.

 They have been married for 6 years and have a beautiful boy named "Tuff" who is the sweetest boy you will ever meet.

And they decided they wanted another memory in Haley's beautiful, expensive wedding dress so they called me and we "Trashed the Dress".
I love wild women and Haley is one wild woman!  These pictures are just a sneak peak of what is to come and you can see in Haley's face here that she is wondering if she has completely taken leave of her own senses as sweet Tuff gets colored bubbles on her dress.... this is the first of many memories that we got on her dress Saturday!
A trash the dress photo shoot is not done in order disrespect the wedding dress but instead it is intended to install another significant memory into a dress that brought you so much joy in the first place.
It may take some time to get through the 2,959 pictures that I took of the Leatherwood family but it will be well worth you stopping back by to see where we ended this shoot!
Thank you Haley!  Thank you Craig!  Thank you Tuff! for letting me in on this memory!
