Payton - 7.5 months!

I hadn't seen Payton since she was 6 days old...what a sweetie! She is so tall (she's almost as big as her mom)! It was great seeing her again and watching her grow. Here's a few shots from her studio session...

The above shot is just so interesting to me :)

and love those eyes!!!

The Engagement of Brooke & Michael!

We just recently had the honor to meet this fun, laid-back couple at their home for their engagement session. They wanted something outdoorsy and their place was the perfect setting! Brooke and Michael are so photogenic! Check out some photos...as always, I shoot with variety, lol!

I wanted their dog.... he is SO cute!

And I had to throw this in...a tribute to American Gothic. I finally did my version. Brooke is trying to look serious. This is an impossible shot for me - I can only smile in photos! They pulled it off :)

Congratulations on your engagement, Brooke and Michael! You have so much ahead of you! Looking forward to your September wedding, it will be beautiful! Thanks for everything!

The Wedding of Jessica & Rob!

Jessica and Rob had a simple, sweet and elegant wedding at WynLakes Country Club last weekend! Despite the ceremony being so hot and humid, everyone had such an awesome time! It was definitely a celebration for this amazing couple's marriage. I'll let the images tell the story...!

These were very candid of Rob and his son as he was preparing him for the ceremony :)

More shots can be seen on Facebook...

Congratulations, Jessica & Rob! I am so honored to be a part of your day as your photographer and look forward to hanging out with you in the future! We're always here for you two!

Joyce Vaughn - Artist

I recently met Joyce for a photo shoot of her art work - much of which hangs in her clients' homes. She is commissioned for a variety of pieces for kids rooms, kitchens, you name it! Be in touch if you are interested in some interesting wall pieces. Below are just a few photos from the assignment...

And the beautiful artist, herself!

Thanks, Joyce! It was so great to meet you - your personality alone is inspiration to anyone! And thanks for the adventures of the morning, who knows what we would have gotten ourselves into if we stayed any longer! ;)

Sal's 1st Birthday!

Whether she knows it or not, Sal's mom is one of the most creative parents I know! She held Salinger's first birthday at Eastdale Mall's carousel! (Of course I took a spin too!) I've neglected the blog, as his birthday was a few weeks ago, but here's a few of my favorite shots of him tearing into his cake and having a great time riding the carousel :)

I love his eyes in the above shot - a little mischievous, yet SO cute!

Happy 1st birthday, Sal! Here's to many more!

The Wedding of Tina & Leo! Part 2

Here is the rest of the story... Tina and Leo's wedding was probably one of the most FUN weddings we've ever photographed! It's such a great experience to see all of their family and friends come together for this special day in their lives. And such an amazing thing to witness! Here are a few more shots from their day...

Leo's family is from Pittsburg - hence the Terrible Towel groomscake! (Made by www.eileenmcarter.com). 

Tina & Leo did a sand ceremony representing their lives now together as one upon the foundation of Christ. So awesome! And gotta love the 'pimps' who also attended!

(one of my favorites!)

And I had to throw an action shot in there - John was photographing some details and outtakes...and what do you know! A working shot of me somehow got in there... lol!

Congratulations Tina & Leo!!! Thank you for having us as part of your wonderful day!

Many thanks to the Whitlock Inn in Marietta, GA for all of your hardwork and making it such a perfect day!
