Tristan & Kaylie : Child Portraits

T&K's mom and I went to college together, but lost touch. Through the wonders of Facebook, we reconnected, and I was so excited to see her and her kids a few weeks ago for their holiday portrait session! Gena was actually pregnant with Tristan the last time I saw her. We had fun exploring the north campus of Valdosta State University together, climbing up and down stairs, playing with fall leaves, and enjoying the crisp air of the coming fall.

Colten : Child and Family Portraits

He loves Elmo.
He loves to giggle.
He loves play.
He loves to explore.
And he loves his parents more than anything in the world.

Here's cutie Colten from our session together a few weeks ago.

Alice : Senior Portraits

Even when she was little, Alice has always been a fun kid to be around... nice to all people, a lover of animals, and incredibly smart. Now a high school senior, Alice is anticipating graduation, deciding which college to attend, and ready to embark on the next chapter of her life! I have no doubt that Alice will be successful at anything she puts her mind to accomplish! I was honored to photograph her senior portraits.
While most seniors love doing their sessions somewhere urban or funky, Alice chose to do her session at her home and personalize her session. (I looooove when clients do this.) Her father is an amazing horticulturist, and their backyard is beyond beautiful with trees and flowering plants. A truly perfect backdrop to Alice's natural beauty!

The Spivey Girls.

This was my most favorite session to date with the Spivey girls. Truly, it's amazing what happens when Mom or Dad disappears, and kids get into their element. Mom stayed in the van while the girls and I walked around, talked, and picked flowers. I'm sure she appreciated some uninterrupted time... even if she was stuck in her car. :) Here are a couple of my favorites!
