Road Trip to my home town of Natchez, Mississippi

2010-07-23T09:03:00.000-07:00

Someone from my home town of Natchez, Mississippi came up with a brilliant idea to combine all the classes of the 70's for a class reunion. They combined all the schools both public and private. We all knew each other back then; either from church, sports, dance, theatre or just cruising around town. Most of us have brothers and sisters that graduated right behind us or in front of us so as you can imagine that we all knew each other some way or another.

I haven't lived in Natchez for over 24 years. I don't even get to Natchez much because my parents don't live there anymore, but when I do I try to see as many people as I can. I drive around and visit my favorite spots. I often think about people from Natchez who meant so much to me growing up. They still live my heart even though I haven't seen them in years. So you can imagine how it felt being around 500 people and knowing most of them.. I didn't get my voice back until yesterday. The whole weekend was magical.

I drove down on Thursday and visited with my nieces in Hattiesburg, who were working at a Civitan Camp for handicapped children. I loved seeing all these wonderful young kids giving such love to these special needs children. Here is a photo of my nieces, Rebecca and Madison. I took many photos that night, but this kid is the kid who is staring in a movie next year with Jennifer Garner.. I think the movie is called BUTTER. He was so thrilled to be the local movie star.

My sister Pam graduated the year behind me so she went with me to the reunion. We stopped off in McComb to see my parents. Dad is on Facebook and wanted us to show him one more time how to see pictures of everything. He was looking forward to seeing all the ones from our friends. He thinks we all look like our parents. You think?

Mississippi Bridge

I got up Sat. morning around 6:30 and took off to town to take some photos. I'm sharing a few. It's worth the time to Google Natchez, Mississippi. It's a beautiful town.

I love old cars. I don't know who this car belong to, but I did see this pretty women get out of it in a vintage dress. I heard she dresses like that all the time. I don't know her, but I thought it was cool.

Here are a few classmates from South Natchez High. Class of 1977'

I went to school with some of these folks from Kindergarten up.... for one weekend we were all kids again having a swell time.

I stayed with the Vassers. Jimmi Lou and I have been friend since I was 16. We don't see each as often as we would like, but we still talk from time to time. We never run out of things to talk about. I am so glad I have her in my life. Phil is pretty special, too.

They raise quarter horses. I always love going to their ranch and watching the horses graze in the field.I also got to visit with my friend Courtney Stacy Taylor. She has a daughter named Camille that I have fallen in love with. I talked her into getting dressed so I could take some photos of her. She is darling.

This is the Mississippi River. This is what we saw every night when we stepped outside; a site I never get tired of seeing.

I take so many pictures in a week that I can not possibly post them all here, but I wanted to tell you what a great time I had returning to my home town of Natchez, Mississippi. A place I dearly love and miss.

With Love to Karra and Bart

2010-07-13T07:47:00.000-07:00

I love photographing people I have known for a long time. It's easy to get a natural smile, you know what will make them laugh or open up and be a little silly. I got that from so many people who were at the wedding. Karra and Bart, you had a beautiful wedding. Sure, it was hot, HOT, but so much fun. The heat didn't stop folks from dancing til midnight. It didn't stop the smiles. It didn't stop the fun..EVERYONE seemed to just want to be together and celebrate the wedding of these two wonderful people. I wish you both the very best!

We squeezed this photo session in between Hailey's final exams and graduation. I had trouble concentrating on taking the photos because I thought Hailey looked so beautiful and grown up. I have known Hailey for many years and it's emotional when you see someone you love grow up. I was honored to be chosen to take her wedding photos. We took way too many photos of the wedding, but I will share with you my favorites soon.

Welcome to my Blog...
I don't have a clue what I will share with you at this point..I was hoping to post some of my latest photos I have taken, but at the moment I just want my website up and running. My brother in law is a wiz at understanding the website lingo so I am here picking his brain. I will post photos soon I promise.

Mike and I are in New Mexico visiting his sister and brother in law John and Paula. They live in this amazing adobe home that has a view from all sides of the house. We got here late last night. I was so tired from traveling all day, but the site from their back patio was over the top. The sky was clear and from afar you could see the twinkling lights of the town of Bernalillo. This morning we ate breakfast and enjoyed the view of the Sandia Mountains. It's just lovely here. Enjoying my visit. I'll post photo's later.

John is helping me get my website up and running.

Stay in touch because I want to know what you all think about this website when I have it up and running.

I'm blaming all of my ignorance on being 50...
