Paige is another one of my fun-loving, sweet and beautiful class of 2011 Senior girls. We had a lot of fun on her shoot, dodging geese and geese poop, running away from bugs, and exploring the Spivey Hall side of Clayton State College & University. Spivey Hall has been an important part of Paige growing up as a vocalist because it’s where she’s performed for years, so naturally, it was a great fit for her senior portrait shoot! I had a lot of fun shooting Paige and getting to know her while doing her photos, she has a great infectious laugh(and you’ll get to see it first hand in some of her photos here). Soo… Without further adue here is a little sneak peek of Paige’s Spivey Hall Senior Photo Shoot! First, I’ll start you out with something a little fun from Paige’s senior photo shoot…Because if your senior photos aren’t fun and they don’t show who you really are, than in my opinion, they aren’t worth your investment. Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them and editing them…And as always…Feel free to comment! We love reading your feedback and hearing from you!!

This lovely family was sooo fun!! We had a great location for our shoot too! I adore Nash Farms for the variety of “backgrounds” you get in one place. Here are a few fun photos from their shoot! Enjoy!!

And a photo from my assistant…My 8yr old daughter, shot and edited by her

Erin is one of my FABULOUS class of 2011 Seniors! We had a good time on her mini shoot and I can’t wait to do her full length shoot in August. I’m going to go ahead and share a few of my favorite images with you from her mini Senior Portrait photo shoot! And if you’re a class of 2011 Senior, we still have openings for Senior Portrait Shoots but spaces are filling up fast!

Trying out some textures and other fun stuff on some photos:

Soo… I was glancing through and decided to add a few more Enjoy…

Hey guys!!

Sorry for the delay in posting new blogs! We have had a VERY exciting last few days/weeks…which is a good thing. Thank you to everyone who keeps coming and looking/reading my posts…I promise you won’t be disappointed! I have several shoots and weddings to post for you so bare with me. Friday we got to meet…Are you ready?? JORDIN SPARKS!! Yay! My girls were soo excited, and she was soo sweet! We also got to photograph her concert, we were going to grab a few pictures of her before the show but the timing didn’t end up working out with the storms and her schedule, etc.  Saturday we went and photographed a beautiful wedding at Ocean Isle Beach, NC…and a first for me…had two associate photographers shooting a wedding in Gainesville, GA. All in all it’s been a great time and we have some great and exciting things coming to show you! But right now I’m going to go climb up in my very own bed and get some shut eye!

Ya’ll be looking out for a new blog post tomorrow! I’m pretty excited about it!!

ps- here’s a sneak peek from a recent shoot

Sarah and John had a BEAUTIFUL wedding! It was at an awesome venue, Something Special, in Newnan, GA. If you are getting married and haven’t chosen a location yet, you definitely need to check this one out. The details of their wedding were beautiful and I don’t know that it’s possible to do it justice completely without seeing it for yourself. They are a very beautiful and sweet couple and I counted it an honor to be a part of their special day . Here are a few of the photos from their wedding…I LOVE reading your comments, so don’t be shy…AND…Enjoy!! I know I did!

The reception… The food… The cakes… The decor… The dancing… All WONDERFUL!! I know you’ll agree

Meet Caden… He’s a preciously beautiful newborn that I had the privilege of meeting today…and getting some really great photos of,  I’m certain you’ll agree. I went to school with Caden’s parents, so it was an honor when they asked me to come out and do his newborn photos. I posted a sneak peek of his shoot on my facebook photography page/group…BUT…I didn’t include all these images that you get to see here. Caden is a special little boy, much awaited and is much loved. Congrats Jennifer and Chad!! I can’t say enough about you guys and how much you love this little guy and how welcomed he is. Thank you for letting me be a part of your day and your celebration of little Caden. He’s beautiful!!

Mom had a few special requests, and this next picture is one of them, and if you knew/know the story, you know he TRULY is a gift from God

Here’s another special request…”get something with this guitar!”, a guitar that has been in the family for several generations.

AND this is a special surprise for her dad…We think he’ll love it! You?

Eric is one of my 2011 Seniors and he LOVED having his pictures made… Isn’t that right, Eric? He was sweet and we had a good time. We started out his shoot in Locust Grove and ended it at his school’s football field because he’s a football player!! So his second home is the field!! Hope you enjoy these!!

And this next one is my favorite from his shoot!

I wear many many hats: mom, wife, sister, photographer, cake maker/baker, home decorator, nurse, maid, cook…lots of things! And I really really love the different paths and directions my life takes me. Tonight, I had the privilege of wearing the hat of “wedding coordinator” for a very sweet couple. And of course, being a photographer, I couldn’t resist snapping a few images through out the night. Here are a few images of the sweet sweet Newly Weds and their wedding! Good luck Jessica and Casey!! Your wedding was absolutely beautiful…OH! And I love the fun surprise/entertainment your bridal party (and groom) had in store for everyone…Scroll down to see, trust me, it’s worth it!

and…the entertainment “finale” of the night {drum roll please} 1… 2… 3… GO!

Bevanne is my newest little niece…She’s a doll! My sister dresses her up in THE cutest little outfits, like a real live baby doll. She’s SUCH a happy little girl and we love having her at our house. Soo…here are a few photos from one of Bevanne’s shoots(and a few of my beautiful little sister too). I’ll be posting another of Bevanne’s shoots soon but until then… I hope you enjoy these as much as I do. I simply adore the timeless quality of a good black&white photo and I think these are just PRECIOUS! I’m sure you’ll agree

She LOVES being a mom…Can you tell??? She simply can NOT get enough of her little one…And I don’t know of many people that deserve to be a mom more than my little sister. She has long awaited Bevanne and welcomed her before she was even “a twinkle in her mama’s eye”

And the beautiful mama, herself…Don’t you wish everyone looked this good only NINE months after having a baby?!  I know I wish I did!

Amber is one of the sweetest persons you will ever meet, and I’m not just saying that. Anyone that knows her will agree with me. Her heart and personality is just as pretty as she is on the outside…And she has a beautiful voice! I had the privilege of meeting her last year and doing a model shoot for her…So naturally I was excited when she called me to do her wedding shoot . She was overjoyed and so in love, I could tell. I couldn’t wait to meet the guy who had won her heart! Jason and Amber couldn’t be a more perfect match! Jason is just as kind and sweet as Amber…And they make a VERY handsome couple! I never once had to tell these two to be “lovey dovey” it was just natural for them! And that made my job VERY easy! I hope you enjoy looking at their photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!
