Helton & Randeem...wedding

What a gorgeous couple inside and out, you will recognize these two from their engagement session with their golden retriever babies. Helton and Randeem were blessed with a warm fall day for the exchanging of their lifelong promises. These two souls balance and compliment one another so well. The love is unconditional and Randeem and Helton will have many great years ahead of them as husband and wife. It was so awesome to be around this couple but to witness the love and respect they have towards their family and friends was amazing.
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to capture the love you share and the world is a better place having the two of you in it.
enjoy,
Paula













I snapped a few of Jenna (Helton's sister) before she put her gorgeous dress on, what a pretty young lady.

Craig,Chara,Lauren & Baxter....family

Looking back on the day I spent with this family I have to say it was the worst photo shoot I've had to do. Worst....because this beautiful family once lived just minutes from me but now a couple hours away. The time I spent with them all just reminded me of how much I miss them and love them all dearly. When I first moved to our little town, Chara and her sister Calla were the first friends I met here. I remember thinking, if these are the kind of people who live here I never want to leave. Craig and my husband worked together for years and have known eachother forever. Wherever Craig goes he always has a story to tell and it always involves alot of laughter and fun. I miss our Sunday suppers we shared and the time we all spent together I will always cherish. Their kids Lauren and Baxter are the sweetest and funniest. Lauren is a mature, kindhearted, gorgeous girl who is very successful in anything she puts her mind to. Baxter is a high spirited cowboy, funloving, comical and has the most cutest smile who will make the girls swoon to him as he gets older. I am so thankful for these pictures that I will treasure always. Thanks to the Blair's for letting me spend the afternoon touring around their beautiful, scenic home in the south. I love you all!
enjoy,
Paula


you have to be very careful of where to sit in a cow pasture!!!



Baxter said he loves the smell of his horses and had to get one last sniff in before we left the pasture.

I couldn't imagine a better way to spend a beautiful fall day last week than with this kind hearted bunch. As I drove down south I admired all the fabulous fall color and it certainly showed in the pictures along with some great smiles. Thank you all for the opportunity to record your gorgeous family and wittness such a great family bond.
