Goosebumps...

Sunday, I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph Lannah and her parents! I documented Rachel's maternity session in December, and couldn't wait until Lannah got here. She was born just over a week ago, and is one of the cutest babies ever! I'm still editing her images, but had to share this!

Morgan Paige is here!

In December, I took Keith and Melissa's Christmas pictures. They sent out the CUTEST Christmas card with their picture on it that read "Expecting more than Santa this year"... and boy were they right! Even though Morgan wasn't due to be born until January 4th, she graced everyone with her presence on December 22, a few days before Christmas.
Due to scheduling, Melissa and I weren't able to get together until Saturday for some pictures of Morgan. I tried my best to make her look newborn, but she's grown so much that it was difficult to get that "fresh baby" look. She's adorable though, and that's all that matters right?

Ethan & Eli

Saturday morning, despite the nasty weather, I ventured over to Ethan and Eli's house for some pictures. I managed to find a few places where the lighting was good, and took advantage of the time that I had.
I was so excited to be able to use my new heart rug that I recently bought at IKEA! Here are a few images from the session:

Makenzye Summer is here!

My good friend Amanda had her baby today! Makenzye Summer was born at 12:32pm and weighs 8lbs, 3oz. Today after work I went to the hospital to see her... and of course I took my camera. The lighting was really poor, and I didn't want to startle the baby too much, so I didn't use my flash. They're a bit grainy, but I still wanted to share. Amanda gets discharged on Saturday from the hospital. I told her I'd meet her at the house to take newborn pictures. Nothing like getting them early, huh? :)

Merry Birthday!

On the weekend of January 12, I drove up to Atlanta to spend time with my mom and brother. They spent Christmas with my grandparents in Florida, while I spent Christmas with my husband's family in Atlanta.
Not only were we celebrating our Christmas, but my mom's birthday was the 12th, and my brother's birthday was yesterday. So... we had a Merry Birthday celebration! I had such a fun time with them; it was wonderful being able to spend uninterrupted time together. We went to IKEA (my first experience!), ate wonderful Atlanta food, and just "hung out".
Saturday night after mom's birthday dinner, we went home for our Christmas/birthday exchanging. I was so excited, as I KNEW that I had gotten Brian the COOLEST Christmas/Birthday present ever (which I taunted him with that saying all day!) He told my mom in November that he wanted a bass guitar for Christmas. I knew that it would be a stretch for my mom to get one, so I did some thinking... and remembered that my husband had an electric guitar that he hadn't played in a few years. We ended up getting new strings, and cleaning up a few parts for him. Needless to say, my brother freaked out, as you can see in the following collage:



Mom also loved her Christmas gift... a set of three framed landscape images I took last year. I can't wait to see them hanging in her house!

Bad Blogger...

Sorry for the lack of pictures recently. January, being cold and rainy, doesn't seem to be the best time of year for outdoor, natural light portraits for some reason... :)
Although these aren't portrait pics, I did want to share with you some pictures I took this weekend. My husband and I (along with our great friends) installed laminate floors in our house. I'll spare you images of us acting like fools, but I wanted to show off our handy work.
Here's a before and after shot.





If anyone is considering installing laminate or wood flooring, GO FOR IT!

Okay, I promise that my next post will include real pictures! :)

Valentine Special... For His Eyes Only!

I'm so excited about this, I can hardly stand it! A while back I had an opportunity to shoot a boudoir session, and I was wonderful being creative and celebrating the beauty of womanhood!
This year for Valentine's Day, I thought to offer a Boudoir Marathon in Valdosta. I've chosen the perfect location... now all I need are beautiful women who want to give their men something better than the expected!
