She is such a natural beauty, full of great smiles…Taylor: you rock! I love your easy going personality and I just want to know you more! I know that God has great things in store for you!

I couldn’t stop laughing when Taylor broke out these animated facial expressions! Priceless! We found a couch sitting outside some apartments…the “no trespassing” sign was all I needed; I was inspired. To have my girl trespass. But it was worth it! Downtown Ft. Myers can be so random, I love finding new things every time I shoot there!

Thank you for a fantastic session, Taylor & Sue. I loved spending time with you and I sure hope that Subway got the AC working! Phew, that was hot!
Love, Stacy

This baby was the sleepiest, most content little boy…he melted my heart. I didn’t even hear him cry until the very end of our session–he was just happy to wear cute hats and lay in cocoons and even sit in Ohio State buckets:

I am still borrowing these fantastic vintage suitcases so we brought them in for baby Declan to sleep on…cute hat by the one and only Braidy Joy!

Julian & Kayla, congratulations on such a beautiful blessing. I really want to snuggle your baby some more…I am still swooning over his long eyelashes! Thanks for an awesome session and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
Love, Stacy

Those blue eyes and ruby red lips are so gorgeous…I kept spouting off at Megan about how beautiful she is. Sorry for sounding like Rain Man, Megan. But I really couldn’t help myself!

Megans boyfriend, Robert showed up for some fun shots…here is my favorite one:

Part One: Meet & Greet Here’s John Cooper, lead singer for Skillet signing a guitar for Way FM. Heidi, the lead singer for the Shorts, is holding it. And check out the close up of John’s tatoo…isn’t it awesome?!  I love the constant reminder of forgiveness…where is my sharpie?

My friend, Kate also had her guitar signed…that pink guitar has quite a collection of autographs! Go Kate!

I would like to go on the record stating that John Cooper is the nicest, friendliest rock star ever! He was really outgoing and excited to meet his fans…you could feel his boundless energy!

I love this, here is a shot of Jeff Taylor, from the WAY Early Show, handing Toby Mac signed headshots of his kiddos. Everyone cracked up at the joke.

Toby Mac meets his biggest fan, Brooke (left)…she would stop at nothing to meet him!  And I love his expression as he meets one of his younger fans…what a great smile.

Toby signed lotsa stuff..shirts, posters, purses, drumsticks, cds, books:

Part Two: House of Heroes

House of Heroes opened the show! They were on and off super fast but I caught these shots:

Next, some familiar voices hit the stage…

ps. Jeff Taylor, please don’t be a diva…if you don’t like this picture, just know that I absolutely love it, I love your smile and I am not removing this, even if it’s not your “good side.” I can get away with this because I am your bff and I love ya.

Part Three: Skillet When my pals at 88.7 Way FM were talking about how Skillet was going to melt our faces off, I didn’t know they literally meant it! The pyrotechnics were ah-mazing. I had to run to the bathroom and make sure my mascara didn’t melt off. You could feel the heat clear back to the middle of Germain Arena!

Here’s John rocking out…he rocked my socks off!

John’s wife, Korey is a hardcore rocker chick…she made me want to dye my hair blue:

Some fans:

My favorite moment: Seeing Jeff take in the show with his daughter, Kate:

Part Four: Toby Mac

He made quite an entrance!

Then they kicked it off with Tonight–I loved that John was wearing a Toby Mac shirt! I had no idea that Toby Mac’s crew was so big! Here are a few of ‘em:

Toby’s different looks for the night:

Toby went into the crowd again–I caught five cameras shooting him at once (six, if you include mine)…I know there were more that I didn’t get in the frame. That is crazy!

I couldn’t take my eyes off the stage, so much was happening all the time. The dancing was my favorite…these guys can MOVE!

At the end, the confetti hit…I have never seen so much confetti in all my life (by the way, this is the perfect example of how Brandon and I work together…he shoots the big picture, and I shoot the details…we are perfect for each other!):

It was a long night, but you know it was good when you still want more! I want more! I can’t wait for them to come back, I have got to see it all again to believe it. It was just. that. good!

The evening started with a meet & greet for some fellow WAY FM listeners…Jeff led us all into a room where Jason Gray, Chasen, The Afters and Jeremy Camp were waiting to meet us. And greet us. Brand-o and I took pics for the most part, but I jumped in line for a pic and of course an autograph:

All of the artists were super nice and easy to talk to…they were genuinely interested in meeting their fans! It was so refreshing to see humble rock stars just chatting away with strangers. This stranger may not technically be so strange…if you are a baseball fan! Here’s Justin Masterson, pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, joking around with the band members of the Afters.

I thought this was awesome: a fan had her bible autographed! Such a good idea! All of the artists signed it—pictured here is the lead singer from Chasen.

Jeff Taylor (the man) with The Afters:

Jason Gray…he is really funny! Meeting him and hearing him talk about his passion for World Vision were definite highlights!

Here’s Heidi rocking out to a little Chasen! You know Heidi…she is on the Way Early Show every morning putting in her $0.02. Love you, girl!

Here’s the Afters:

Jeremy Camp takes the stage:

The crowd worships our Great God!

I never knew that Jeremy Camp played the piano so beautifully…I had to stop shooting for a minute just to enjoy this awesome worship song.

A view from the back of the church:

And finally, my favorite photo of the entire night: Jeremy sits at the edge of the stage with his Bible and shares his heart.
