The Norris Family

Saturday afternoon, I met up with the Norris family for some portraits at VSU's north campus. Although it started out a bit rocky (3 year olds aren't happy all the time) we walked away with some great images!

Rachel & Jason are Expecting!

This morning (err, yesterday morning... it's almost 1:00am) I met up with Rachel and her husband, Jason. Rachel and I have been e-maling back and forth for about two months, and I was thrilled to do today's session! Rachel and Jason got married a few months ago, and will be welcoming their daughter to the world in January. So many exciting changes!
We had such a good time today. First, not only was their house gorgeous (it looks straight out of the Pier 1 catalog... although Jason built most of the furniture) but they are so in love that I hardly had to give any direction.
I had a tough time narrowing down my favorites, but here are a few from our session.

Noelle

I spent the weekend after Thanksgiving with Noelle while her mom went out of town on to a dental conference. While her mom sat through lectures, we ventured to the mall, went out to eat, went to the VSU football game, and bought a goldfish. We even managed to squeeze in a few pictures too!
Here are a few images from our session!

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!
