With graduation quickly approaching, Elizabeth decided to go ahead and get a few Senior pictures taken. She’s turning the big 1-8 soon and wanted to get updated pictures before her birthday also. So, we scheduled a time to have some fun and just share a few laughs one afternoon. We had such a great time. I can’t wait till her party! I know it’s going to be so fun! Here are just a few of my  favorites from her session:

Sorry for the long post, there were just too many to share.

You can view the rest of her images here. Don’t forget to get ahead of the game and schedule your portraits today!

Cheers!

I met with the crew from Lowndes County’s Century 21 team recently to take updated pictures of their group during an awards luncheon. They are such a great team, you can tell they all work really well together. Here are a few pictures from the afternoon:

A few months ago, I was hired to photograph Michelle’s Baby Shower which you may remember from this post. When Michelle contacted me to tell me that she had her little bundle of joy and wanted me to photograph him… I was ecstatic!

Meet precious little Dominic

Congrats Michelle! He is the sweetest!

Cheers!

Kate is beautiful. She is sweet and kind and I love working with her. I know that when we get together it’s going to be awesome. Not only have I been blessed to be apart of her engagement and her wedding, but we recently got together for a few hours for a boudoir shoot. She is simply amazing. These of course aren’t all the pictures, but hey… a girl has to have some secrets!

Thank you for being such a doll to work with! I can’t wait to do it again

Boudoir galleries are password protected, but if you know Kate and want to see the rest of her images… hit her up!

Cheers!

In lieu of a fantastic Valentines Day, here are a few of my favorites for the weekend! Enjoy!

I wish all the fans a very love-filled Valentines Day!

Saturday, Valdosta’s Rainwater Conference Center housed the Bridal Expo & Fashion show for 2010. Hundred of brides came from near and far to meet the vendors and hopefully grab one of the grand prizes. As a vendor, shows like this are tough for many reasons. You prepare for months in advance, ordering supplies and stressing over the details. Then the day before, you have a short window of time to set up before the big event. The night before, you miss sleep because you are too worried about what you’ve forgotten and you spend the night lying there making mental checklists of things you’ll end up forgetting to take with you anyway. You wake up the next morning groggy and dragging your feet, but you put that smile on your face as the excitement builds.

Then the doors swing wide open and the “running of the brides” (as I like to call it) commences. For the next several hours you stand in those uncomfortable heels you just had to wear, greeting brides and hopefully sealing a deal or two. They come in waves. Mostly before noon, your booth is swamped and you don’t realize how fast the time is flying except for the nagging pain in your lower back…. from those amazing heels! Why did you wear those heels again?

That evening, as the crowds dwindle and you begin packing your booth you wonder why you had to bring so much junk with you and you vow to keep it simple next year. You can breath a deep relief knowing its over. You have 365 more days to prepare for the next one. That’s a good feeling.

Here are a few images from one of the vendors, Judy Jones with Southern Station.

I was blessed to meet a TON of new clients this year! I cannot wait to get started working with them. It even looks like I’ll be traveling quite a bit this year…. Watch out LA, and CT! Here I come!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this show a big success! A BIG thanks to my friend Jessie, who helped keep me organized during the show. She was such a trooper and I could NOT have done it without her! It was great to meet my neighboring vendors and greet all the new brides. Congratulations to each of you! Good luck in 2010!

Cheers!

It was cold. The kind of cold that could make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck just by looking out the window.  That didn’t stop Kate and Trebor from having a simply gorgeous wedding at the Chateau Elan located in Braselton, Ga. Kate and I went to high school together and when she contacted me to take her wedding photos I was thrilled to catch up and see someone that I have known for so long finding her dreams coming true!

Kate stood in the room preparing to say “I do” to the man she gave her heart to. On the bed her fiance, Trebor left a single red rose and a card simply labeled “My Beautiful Wife.” As she stood in her gown among the women in her family and read the letter her love left for her, tears fell down her cheeks. As she tried not to smear her makeup she smiled in happiness as she sniffled, “I love him.”

That’s Kate and Trebor. They have a simple kind of love. The kind simply touches your soul.

The Chateau had the most amazing Christmas decorations filling every nook across the grounds!

Kate has the most exquisite taste, which showed in her stunning gown!

Simply. Love.

Thank you Kate and Trebor for sharing your special day with me. I am so honored to know two people that have such a deep and filling love. Kate, you were a beautiful bride and you radiate with kindness. I wish you and Trebor all the happiness and love the world has to offer!

You can view the rest of their amazing images here.

Cheers!

Taking a little break from reality and working on Chris and Lacey’s session. Man, They’re hot!

Want a little sneak peek?

More on these guys later… I promise!

Happy New Year!

Cheers!

I’m still culling through their images, but I am reeling from the fun I had this last weekend at my last wedding from 2009! I wanted to share a little teaser from their whirlwind wedding:

Congrats to Kate & Trebor!

Look for more on their wedding later in the week. I hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas! I’ll start updating more on my recent adventures after the holidays!

Cheers!

I have driven by this place a thousand times. The green rolling hills seemed to be so out of place in this southern Georgia heat. I always remember thinking the house that set back off the road nestled at the edge of the wood line reminded me of castle. When Rachel told me that she wanted her engagement portraits taken there I was beyond thrilled! At last I got a free pass behind the gate to see what kind of treasures lie at the foot of the castle doors! YAY- is all I could think!

Rachel and Caleb are getting married in spring so the timing they chose for their engagement portraits was paramount. If we waited to long the trees would be bare and the ground dead. Luckily, we were able to get together before winter hit. The grass was still green, the trees are turning and the landscape was full of blasting color! And OH the heat these two brought with them!!!

Even while I was processing these images I was just so excited about these portraits and even more excited to see how fantastic the colors were.

I simply cannot wait to shoot their wedding. The venue they have chosen is AHHMAZZING!! Coupled with their incredible taste, I know it’s going to be a night to remember! You can view the rest of their images here.

Thank you Caleb & Rachel for sharing your special day with me and being so fabulous! The love you share with each other is touching and can be seen by the farthest stranger. I look forward to your wedding next year!

Cheers!
