The Browning Family

Sunday afternoon, the Browning Family and I got together in downtown Valdosta (are you noticing a trend?) I enjoy myself every single time I photograph Jason, Jaclyn, and Anna Grace... they hardly need direction, and let's face it, they're a beautiful family! Anna was absolutely mesmorized by the moving Christmas figurines, so I had to be creative in choosing my shooting spots (it's easier to move where kids look instead of trying to get them to look in the opposite direction).
I'm thrilled with how these pictures turned out, and I can't wait to see which one they use for their Christmas cards!











Mike & Katrina

On Saturday morning, I met up with our best friends, Mike and Katrina, for some Christmas card pictures. They're both from up north, so they wanted to try and find a location that was greenless so their families wouldn't make fun of them... so much for finding no green in South Georgia in December. :) We decided to meet up downtown, and I tried my hardest at avoiding grass and other indications that summer hasn't left.
I was also tickled when Katrina said they wanted to include a little message about their baby on their Christmas card... Katrina is expecting! She's due in May... which TOTALLY means that the Ellis baby will be flooding my blog when the time comes! :)

Christmas Season starts now!

With Thanksgiving over, the Christmas season has officially begun! After finishing my Black Friday shopping this morning, I met up with the Abel family for some holiday pictures! Brian is a huge Tony Roma fan, so after doing the traditional pictures, the Roma jerseys came out for a quick portrait!




Turkey Day!

Rockstars

Okay, so they're not really rockstars... but these siblings ROCKED their session in downtown Valdosta last Sunday!
Leslie (older sister) and I have known one another for years, and recently got in touch with me about pictures. She said that her parents didn't have any recent pictures of her and her siblings, and wanted to arrange some portraits for a Christmas present. I jumped at the chance, as she's very photogenic and I was hoping that her brother and sister would be too! Let's just say that we shook Valdosta up! :)













The C Family

Last Sunday, I drove down to Gator Country to photograph Roger, Patty, and their two boys! I asked my husband if he wanted to go, but he declined. Being a Georgia fan, I completely understood. :)
Patty chose the most beautiful location, the meditation center at the University of Florida. The fact that they are a gorgeous family, and that the location was spectacular, definitely made the drive worth my while!

Bryan & Mia's Wedding

On Saturday, I had the great opportunity to assist Lindsi Jones (www.lindsi.com) at the wedding of Bryan & Mia. Perhaps my most favorite thing about being a second shooter was that I was able to focus on the details of the day... which was even cooler because they had the most beautiful flowers EVER!
