Karen & Evan | Wedding 02.09.13

When I was asked to shoot Karen & Evan’s wedding I was thrilled! Karen, Evan and I all worked together, way back when in high school at a local children’s birthday party facility. I remember the first time hearing that the two of them were dating, and how happy I was for Karen that she’d fallen for such a great guy. What I didn’t expect was such a unique story that is their road to marriage. Evan joined the Air Force, and as we all know with military comes travel; soon Karen & Evan found themselves on opposite coasts as Evan was away at training. That didn’t slow them down at all, as they decided to be legally married both via camera so when the Air Force did send Evan somewhere after training, Karen would be on his orders. Unfortunately Evan’s orders sent him to Korea, and Karen wasn’t invited. Skip a head a little, Evan finally home, one year to the day later I was waiting for the wedding rehearsal to start in the most adorable church with an even more adorable couple. I have to say, Karen & Evan were by far the most laid back couple I’ve ever worked with on a wedding. I was so excited they asked me to do Shot With A Bow’s very first photo booth! Other than some minor technical glitches the wedding the next day was perfect, and I’m happy to share just a few of their beautiful (and funny!) moments below.

Harper Addison | Newborn

Harper Addison was born on December 26, 2012 at 6:30am. She was greeted into this world to meet her parents, Chasity & Ricky as well as a huge extended family who had been waiting a LONG time to meet her!

Chasity and I have been the best of friends since we were 5 years old and as long as I can remember we’ve dreamed of having little girls of our own; dressing them up, naming them, taking them shopping, and in general spoiling them rotten. In 2009, my world was turned upside down as my now husband and I welcomed our son, Beckham, into the world. I’m still not sure I’m prepared for a little boy but, luckily, I still get to buy bows since, after all they are sort of my trademark. After Chasity met and fell in love with her now husband, Ricky in 2010 I was honored to be a part of the wedding party. Chasity has had some health problems as she reached her 20’s and didn’t think she’d be able to have a child on her own. In fact, I vividly remember eating lunch with Chasity & Ricky the day after their wedding talking about the possibility of adoption. Well, In late April 2012 Chasity sent me a picture of a positive pregnancy test- we were all ECSTATIC! Shot With A Bow was there to capture pictures from the beginning; taking pictures each month to show off the bump, to hosting & shooting the baby shower, to a very late Christmas night at the hospital. After a long and somewhat difficult pregnancy we were all a little let down that Harper didn’t decide to make her entrance on Christmas day. All of us extended family left the parent’s to be at the hospital around 11pm, but you better believe when Ricky text me later that night (er..morning?) at 3:30am I was back at the hospital just as soon as I could get there! Miss Harper is now a month and a few days old, and Auntie Malice has been there every step of the way. I hope you enjoy the pictures below, from Shot With A Bow’s  journey with this beautiful little girl thus far!
