The Barnette Family

this past weekend, we had a WONDERFUL photo shoot with my sweet friend, beth - b. mo foto! she is the one i've been talking about and is responsible for mpb's "rockstar" picture in the pettiskirt with the guitar at the beach.

anyway - here are some more pictures! i'll explain each one (sorry, facebook friends. i know most of ya'll have already seen these!)

the pictures below.......of course the one on the left you've already seen. the one on the right...I LOVE. the dress is one i had made in cleveland - a great store called fox road. the girl that owns it makes a lot of the clothes in there and names them. she designs a lot of them herself! anyway - when dana and i were up for the mccarty sale in march, we went in and i fell in love with this dress, but it wasn't the right size. the girl heard me and said, "i've got just enough of that fabric to make another one. that is a vintage fabric." so i took her up on it! when i was paying, i looked at the tag - this dress is the "stella". another reason to buy it!

this picture was taken in a field by my home church - minter city methodist.

this picture was NOT posed at all. seriously. we put mpb up on this truck (a 1950-something model) out at my daddy's and just let her do what she wanted. well, she ended up plopping down after a little while and this is the look we got. we told her to just STAY PUT! i love the "pout" look on her face!!!

this picture is precious to me! we went over to the "old streeter school" which was minter city high school. yes, for those of you from the Delta, minter city had a high school! my daddy went to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades here. my granddaddy graduated here (and my grandmama, too, if i'm not mistaken)! i just wanted some pictures of her there!

ok - this is another picture from the beach. i LOVE it!

yes, tommy and i even got in on the shoot. this is one of a good many pictures she took of us. this one was over at the minter city gin. growing up, especially when i was her age, i would ride with daddy over to the gin when he was taking cotton. mrs regleman would always keep dill pickles in the office for me and have one ready when she saw us pull up! i'm glad we were able to document mpb there too!

also, tommy and i have no pictures of us kissing. i know, i know...... but even from our wedding - no kissing pictures! so we got a few in this shoot!

i can't wait to see more of them! i'll let you know when they are up!!!!!
