- The Hoop Family’s New Arrival

Posted by kim on August 30th, 2010

Miss C is here and what a beauty she is!

She is wearing a christening gown that has been in the family over 50 years.

When ever Miss C need’s a little comforting, Daddy starts sing the “Hush Little Baby”  song – it is so touching to see them together.
Here big brother A shows her that she is loved while dad sings.

We love fingers, toes and noses!

But what amazing lips Miss C has!

Miss C with Mom and Dad – so precious to have a newborn to remind us how important tiny things can be.

- laura and randall’s wedding

Posted by steve on June 21st, 2010

Laura’s grandmother was married in The Little Chapel in the Woods in 1946 and 64 years later Laura and Randall would exchange their wedding vows at the same altar.  (And no, Steve didn’t photograph the grandmother’s wedding.)

After the honeymoon, Laura and Randall returned home to Louisiana to celebrate again with family and friends.  All of the images from their wedding in Denton will soon be available  for viewing.  If you’d like to be notified when they are released, simply register with Pictage.

Thank you Laura and Randal for letting Carpe Vita be part of such a special wedding.

Posted by kim on June 18th, 2010

Our last post was a sneak peek of Kristine and Charles’ wedding photographed by Kim Cooley and Evah Goodwin (with a little of Steve Cooley here and there) for Carpe Vita Photography a few weeks ago.  Here now is a much more indepth look at the wedding through the first draft of the photographer’s favorite photographs from the wedding.  We think you will agree, they are a sweet couple blessed with lots of love all around them.
