Miss Courtney

This is Courtney, she wanted to do something for herself after meeting a major goal she set for herself.  The very first picture is one that she sent me, it was taken on her vacation around the first  Nov 2007.  I asked Courtney to give me a little story about her situation, and here it is: 

"On November 6, 2007 I went to the doctor and discovered I had gained twenty pounds in one year. With the help of my doctor I decided to make a change. The last sixteen months have been an uphill battle, but it has been worth it. To this day I have lost over one hundred pounds toward my goal!"

Awesome for Courtney!! She has lost over one hundred pounds and still counting!! As you can see below, she has made a huge change.  This is why she wanted to have her pictures done, little things like that can make you feel extra special. 

I am very proud of her and wish her the best in continuing her journey!! 

Courtney and her sister are special to me and many others, they keep our children at church so I thought I would share this with you, while I was finishing her pictures up last night Sam was ready for his Mommy time like he does every night so I picked him up and sat him in my lap and he saw Courtney's picture up on the computer and looked at me and smiled real big and said HI and he started waving at you!!! Sam and Whitney, Courtney's sister went with us the day of her session. 

And last but not least, you will see a few train shots below, yes a train came through as we was doing her session. Of all the times for one to come through it had to be during that hour, it was pretty funny all of us rushing back to the car and we was really close to the tracks!!!  Here are some of my favorites.....
