This is a place of honesty and a chance for you all to have insight into our everyday lives…some times boring…sometimes crazy exciting…so come along for the ride and thanks for stopping by!

This couple JUST…literally like 4 days ago just…welcomed their sweet baby Mallory into the world! Vikki and Michael have been on this blog a few times before and Im so glad that we get to be a part of this next step in their lives! We have known these two for a looooong time and when we shot their wedding in 2008, I never would have thought that we would be parents together! *You just dont think about that kind of thing until it happens I guess…

Long story short..we LOVE you Vikki and Michael (and Mallory!) and we cant wait to meet her soon! I’ll be shooting newborn pictures of their sweet girl in the next few weeks and I’ll make sure to show her off to everyone on here! Until then…here are some of our favorites from their session!

Lindsey & Jared got married a few weekends ago and we had SO much fun celebrating with them! *be on the look out for those images soon!

Lindsey and Jared is amazing…just amazing. And I will share more about it when I blog their wedding…but for now, here are some of our favorite images from their engagement session! Lindsey brought along all of the letters she and Jared wrote to each other while he was a boot camp for the army and I loved incorporating them into their session. Thats real life folks…and their story is the kind that only really happens in the movies…but God saw it fit for these two love birds to find each other and Im SO.GLAD! Here are a few of our favorites!

I love these guys! :) Greg and Rachel are some of the sweet, most giving people I know. So when Greg called me about setting up a session for them as a surprise for Rach…I was REALLY excited about it. **Fellas…this is an awesome idea! You get to look cute and kiss on your wives for the afternoon in front of a camera…whats not to like?! Needless to say…we had a great time just hanging out together. Here are some of our favorites!

Jessica and Duane have been my friends FOR-EV-ER. I have taken maternity pictures for this sweet couple not once, not twice, but this makes the third time! Im so excited that they are having another beautiful baby and I cant wait to snuggle this little boy! p.s. Jessica is a ridiculously beautiful pregnant lady…the kind that makes us swollen, puffy, and prone to sweat pregnant ladies super jealous.  :) Love you guys Jess & Du!

Happy Birthday Meredith! This girl is such a sweetie. Ive known her since she was itty bitty and I just love her and her family so much. Meredith was sweet enough to model for an session that we planned for our lovely summer intern, Elizabeth, and we had a great time! Here are some of our favorites from the day.

Samantha & Steve: Engaged!

Sam contacted me right after she and Steve got engaged and Im SO glad that she did! They will be getting married in Pennsylvania next fall and Im pretty convinced this wedding will be a riot…these two are SO much fun! They really loved their time in Athens for school and we had a great time visiting their favorite coffee shop and their favorite part of campus. Nothing starts the day off better (in my opinion) than a big ole cup of coffee so I was happy to dive in and drink up at Two Story with them! The shop was empty so we got to hang out and play a little. Steve was kind enough to read us a few Dr.Suess oldies (but goodies!) and we successfully scared off a few kids trying to study by laughing and spreading out all over the furniture. We ended the session on north campus in what I can only describe as a hot, sticky mess. This weather in Georgia is killing me this summer! It seems so much hotter than normal…but these two stuck it out and smiled the entire time!

Congrats again Sam and Steve! Thanks for choosing us to help you remember your love story in Athens. We know there is a lot of fun, love, and happiness in you guys future and we couldnt be more excited for you!

Baby Vera

This little miss is really sweet and her laid back personality was so much fun to photograph. I have known Vera’s mama, Laura, for years and when she contacted me about shooting Vera’s 3 month pictures I jumped at the chance to snuggle this beautiful little girl!  We had a great time hanging out during a crazy rain storm and I love the little faces that she made in front of my camera!  *Vera has a particularly good “Say what?!” face. :)

Laura & Wil….you guys have a precious little miss and I cant wait to snuggle her again in a few month!

Morgan and Andrew are no newbies to our blog…Ive been taking their pictures FOR-EV-ER! They called about sneaking in a quick little session since Andrew needed a few updated pictures for his job (he’s a male model of the zoolander breed…you’ll see. :) hehehhe) so we went ahead and just had a little fun with both of them.

M & A, we love you guys so much and cant wait to visit with you again!
