Country girls....

Country girls.....

A mix of pretty & sweet~ tough as nails~hard working~and do it just like the boys....

I love going home...... back to Grangeville where I was born and raised.  It was- and still is a great place to raise a family.  My trips home now are to visit with my dear ones and to show my own daughters the joys of growing up in the country....And to now photograph the daughters of my childhood friends...... 

*the girls who remind me so much of who I used to be*

 

Meet Raedaun.  Country girl.  Beautiful. {check out those peepers- WOW!} 

Cousin and neighbor to the beautiful Brooke below.  I love that her choices of location were deeply sentimental to who she is.

Thanks for choosing me! xoxo Didi v.

Generations of Ya-Ya

Years ago when the book and movie featuring the Ya-Ya Sisterhood came out, my friend Allison starting re-naming all of us and putting together functions with all of her favorite Ya-Yas... {who all  later had Ya-Hoos.... so our times together are not as frequent as they should be....} It's always so fun to get that many gal pals together in one place! 

This particular gathering  is an a very "Allison" style party- A harvest theme~fondue~ya-ya~Bridal shower for her God Daughter Danielle with every detail in place and a whole gaggle of great ladies who ranged in age from their 20's- to their.... "seasoned" 70's.

There were only two rules for the event- everyone had to wear a fabulous hat and you had to drink your beverage of choice in a pretty glass.... of course the giggles and bawdy laughter were free flowing on this gorgeous summer night!

What a  bunch of beautiful and a truly fun evening!  Thanks for having me ladies!
