Little Elisabeth is 3 Months Old ~ Norcross Photographer

Last week I had my first session and first wedding consult in the new studio! Little Elisabeth was my lucky guinea pig. She was such a happy client and was easy to work with. I love her in the aqua lace romper!! 

Aubry & Jeremy's Peachy Anniversary ~ Fayette Wedding Photographer

Last June I had the pleasure of photographing Aubry and Jeremy's wedding at Dunaway Gardens. They decided to do a first year anniversary session. We decided on doing a first anniversary inspiration session which takes Brides & Grooms back to the places that either inspired their wedding or the places where their wedding was held. It is a great way to bring back memories of the wedding and all the planning that went into it. Aubry and Jeremy asked me to do their 1 year anniversary session at Gregg's Peach Farm in Concord, Georgia. Gregg's Farm is a few miles from their home and is a place they frequent in the summer when Peaches are in Season. It was the major inspiration for their Peach Themed Wedding! Aubry's colors were Peach & Blue with pops of green. As a wedding favor, the Storms had peaches for their friends and family to take home. We used the same buckets as props that held the peaches they gifted last year. At their wedding they also had Sweet Tea (the preferred drink in the South) so we wanted to include it somehow into the session. We decided to create a peach stand in the middle of peach farm that sold peaches, sweet tea, and peach ice cream. I brought along my mason jar mugs, glass pitcher, and straws to help create a fun little stand. Gregg's farm is known for its yummy homemade peach ice-cream so we had to include it too! It was a warm summer day but so much fun! The 1st anniversary gift tradition is paper.Why not do a fun anniversary shoot and then make it into a book to remember it all by??

Claire & Scott's Opelika engagement session ~ Alabama Wedding Photographer

I met Claire and Scott in the Historic District of Opelika on what seemed to be the hottest day of summer. Engagement sessions to me are the best because I really get to spend some quality time getting to know the bride and groom. However, we all agreed to keep this session really short! In just 30 short minutes, we wrapped up their session but it only takes a minute or two to see how these two adore each other. Being able to capture two people in love with all their happiness and emotion is truly the best part of my job! Plus getting to hang out with lots of awesome clients...

Doesn't Scott's profile and smile look very similar to that of Ryan Gosling's?

I'm looking forward to their August Wedding at Fox Hall Sporting Club! It's going to be a fun one for sure!

Jennifer & Bill's Piedmont Park Love Story

Last weekend I had the privilege of meeting up with Bill and Jennifer downtown at Bill's condo for their engagement session.  We took a few pictures around the building than walked over to Piedmont Park to take pictures at the park bench where Bill popped the question! It was a humid evening in Atlanta but we still had fun taking some great shots of this awesome couple! Can't wait for their July wedding - it is going to be awesome!!

Below is my favorite from the session - the colors just pop! Plus you can kind of see Bill's building in the background.  

The Brandeberrys: 4 generations of love ~ Lakeland Family Photographer

In April, I had the opportunity to photograph the entire Brandeberry Clan while in Central Florida for Easter. It's hard enough just to get my friend Amanda's siblings in one location let alone this whole family. It's great to know that they will have these pictures to share with new generations for years to come! It's families like this that make me love my job...

2011 in Review: Portraits

To compliment yesterday's post with a photograph from all my weddings is a compilation of portrait sessions from 2011. From families to infants and high school seniors to engaged couples, I had the privilege of capturing so many memories for so many fabulous people!
