Presenting Mr. and Mrs. Leota - Sunshine and Smiles Photography by Sandi Purinton

I had the distinct pleasure of photographing our friends, Esera and Jessica, at their recent, intimate wedding.  How beautiful to be surrounded by their lovely daughter, their closest friends and most of their brothers and sisters.  Congratulations and Best Wishes!

The Bowens - Sunshine and Smiles Photography by Sandi Purinton

I recently had the pleasure of photographing the Bowens.  Two gorgeous little girls and a handsome little man who eye their dad, a firefighter, as their very own super hero (especially when they thought the train might come after us) and adore their mom, super hero in her own right as a special education teacher turned administrator.  Hats off to this family who gives to the community and shines bright while doing it.

The McNeils - Sunshine and Smiles Photography by Sandi Purinton

What a treat to photograph this lovely family!  When Laura initially contacted me and asked me to do some family portraits for them, I was a little intimidated.  You see, Laura is a very talented artist.  She does beautiful still life, landscape and figurative paintings.  You can check them out on her website or on her facebook page.  Despite my slight intimidation, spending time with Laura and her family was a lot of fun, and her down to earth, easy going attitude is reflected in their pictures.  The whole family was a lot of fun.  It was a great way to start a Saturday.
