If Spring/Easter/Mother’s Day photos are in your plans for this spring, let’s go ahead and get them on the schedule! This is absolutely my favorite time of year for photos–I can’t wait to work with you!

Sarah + Ross: Love, Atlanta Engagement Photographer

admin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 17:25:52 +0000

I met up with Sarah and Ross last weekend for their engagement photos. We started in the Arts District, exploring the alleys and textures that the area had to offer and ended at Ross’s Landing (appropriate name, eh?) where they went on their first date. After they get married this summer, they will be moving to another state while Ross is in grad school, so it was great to be able to capture them in the city where they met and fell in love. They were so sweet together, and I wish them tons of happiness! Enjoy a glimpse into our time together:

A Snowy Valentines

admin — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 12:59:00 +0000

The snow began falling early Friday afternoon and did something that it rarely does in Georgia: it stuck! As I crawled in bed that night with the snow still falling, I couldn’t wait to see what the morning would bring. Up even before the neighborhood kids, Andrew and I headed out with camera in hand to explore our winter wonderland. Enjoy a glimpse:

Introducing Jackson. Marietta Newborn Photographer

admin — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 13:14:10 +0000

Last week I had the pleasure of documenting Ben and Nicole’s newborn son Jackson. He was amazingly alert for the entire 2 hours that I was there, so it gave me the chance to really capture his interest in his new world and the way his parents love on him. Ben and Nicole are doing such a great job with Jackson–he is one lucky baby. Enjoy a glimpse into our afternoon:

3 Reasons I am Smiling Today

admin — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 14:26:08 +0000

In no particular order…

1. Warm sunshine. With a very cold and rainy weekend ahead, I couldn’t be more excited about today’s forecast of sunny and 60 degrees. Spring makes my heart feel alive, and these little hints of it are what keeps me going until it’s official arrival in a few months.

2. Audra. We have finally decided on a name for our baby girl! After going through countless lists online and pouring over name books, we have a name that feels just right for our little girl, and it is such a good feeling.

3. Fresh flowers. My sweet husband knows how I anticipate spring each year, and he made my day yesterday when he brought home fresh tulips for me. They quickly found their home on our mantle, as you can see below. Thanks, Andrew!

What is making you smile today?

Charleston, Part 2

admin — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:14:19 +0000

I’m back to share the second and final installment of our trip to Charleston. When you see these photos, I think you’ll understand why they deserved a post of their own. This live oak, called The Angel Oak, is estimated to be between 300 and 400 years old. 25 feet in circumference, it provides 17,000 square feet of shade. The largest limb? 11 feet in circumference and 89 feet long. Hands down, one of our favorite parts of the trip. Enjoy a glimpse:

Yes, the buildings in Charleston were full of history and character, but there is something about the grandeur of nature that sets it apart as truly spectacular.

Lucy and Colby: Love

admin — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:02:20 +0000

Together since high school, these two are so thrilled to be tying the knot this June. I met up with Lucy and Colby last week to document this exciting season for them and had such a great time watching their interaction together. They are the perfect blend of feeling comfortable around each other while still being very much in love. It was great! Enjoy a glimpse into the session:

Charleston, Part 1

admin — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 12:34:01 +0000

For those of you who know me, you know that Andrew and I are super-sentimental. Up until this point, one of our favorite traditions has been for Andrew to take off several days in May to celebrate our anniversary. Some years we have had a “stay-cation” while other years have involved fun trips, our favorite being experiencing the splendor of Yosemite National Park, followed by a stop in Monterey, a beautiful drive up the coast on Hwy. 1, and the amazing cuisine of San Fransisco. Well, with our little one due this May (on our anniversary, no less!), we decided to seize the last of Andrew’s vacation days from 2009 and take our anniversary trip after Christmas while traveling is still relatively easy on me, not to mention still OK-ed by the dr. When we arrived in Charleston, our agenda was simple: relax, enjoy the history and character the city had to offer, and eat some great food! That being said, my camera had a hard time staying inside my bag, so I’m going to divide up the photos from our time into 2 posts. Enjoy a glimpse into downtown Charleston:

Stay tuned for Part 2 next week!

Rob and Katherine: Love

admin — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 22:31:56 +0000

While my brother and sister-in-law were in town over the holidays, we squeezed in a mini-photo session late one afternoon. There are so many things that I absolutely love about Rob and Katherine, but one that comes to mind as I am looking back through the photos is that they truly enjoy doing life together. It is impossible not to laugh and have a great time when they are around. I hope you enjoy this glimpse into our time:

The Taylors

admin — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:48:08 +0000

Welcome back from the holidays! I hope you all had a wonderful time with family. I have a couple of posts left from the end of ‘09 to catch you up on before moving on to some new and exciting things! You may remember me mentioning designer Stephanie Taylor and her wonderful Etsy shop in the recent blog give-away. I was thrilled to meet up with her and her sweet family on a cold December weekend evening for some Christmas card photos. Despite the freezing weather, we had a great session! It is always such a joy to watch a family’s loving interaction with each other. Enjoy a glimpse~

Thanks again!
