Miss Mikayla Grace

Today I had the opportunity to meet for the very first time Miss Mikayla Grace and her mother, Stacie. Mikayla's daddy, Michael, is stationed in Baghdad, Iraq, serving in the US Armed Forces. Michael and I were childhood friends; and his parents, sisters, and niece, are all good friends of ours, with whom we attend church. Mikayla and Stacie now reside in Clarksville, Tennesse, but was in Trenton, Georgia, visiting Michael's family. I was so glad to have the opportunity to photograph Mikayla, and her cousin, Kaitlyn.

Before their arrival, I told Kellie that I wanted to do their sitting for free, as well as give them a free 8x10, just as a small token of our appreciation for Michael's sacrifice - bravely serving his country in Iraq. After I decided to do this for Michael, I thought to myself, "I'm going to offer this same service to any family with either a mommy or daddy stationed overseas in any of the Armed Forces!" So if there's anyone out there who would like to partake in this offer, please give me a call!!
Anyhow, Mikayla, who is a few days shy of nine months old, wasn't feeling too good this evening; but as you can see, she still struck a few sweet poses for the camera. Thank-you Stacie, Mikayla, Marnicia, and Caitlyn, for coming by to see us this evening!! Mikayla's proofs are now available to view at my website!
