Peachtree City Sharpsburg area child photographer announces little Miss M

I love me some babies.  I'd have a bazillion if I could.  I love their chubby legs, the sparkle in their eyes, the sound of their laughter . . . I'd have a bazillion if I could.  Please don't tell my husband I said that.

I got to spend Saturday morning with little Miss M and her parents.   My idea of a perfect Saturday is exactly this -- we had fun changing her outfits, playing with her props, and getting her to sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider."  She'd reward us with a smile, and all four adults would erupt in applause.  That's how it is around babies, you know.  The world just seems to revolve around them -- that's how it should be.


Look at little Miss M.  Tell me you wouldn't be in love.

 

This little girl has better accessories than I do.  And that's saying a lot.  

 

In case you were wondering how this little girl turned out so incredibly cute, take a look at her parents.  Gorgeous, aren't they?  

  I love seeing parents that are head over heels in love with their children, who have never-ending patience for their little ones, and who really get what life is about.  To me, it's about the babies, children, kindness, families . . . and love.

 This is what I like to spend my Saturdays doing.  Can you see why?

Locust Grove photographer announces Erin and Blake's wedding

What better way is there to spend a day than at a wedding?  I love weddings -- I love the entire day focused on two people just beginning their life together . . .

My philosophy as a wedding photographer is to document the day in what I describe as a picture story.  I like to be in the parking lot as the bride gets out with her coffee and bags and spend every minute with her as she gets her hair done, as her friends arrive and fuss over her, as she cries when her mother sees her, and when she bows her head in prayer before she heads to the ceremony. 

 The reverence of a ceremony never ceases to take my breath away.

I love group pictures -- and Erin and Blake's group was so fun!

I always make sure that the bride schedules plenty of time to spend on her bridals.  I think you should have so many pictures of yourself on your wedding day.  You can never have enough.

And then the reception . . . eating, dancing, laughing . . . so much emotion. 

 

Congratulations, Erin and Blake!  Thank you for letting me share your day with you -- it was 

an honor and a privilege!  

Sharpsburg area photographer announces Camille's senior pictures

Have I mentioned how much I love doing senior pictures?  I just love, love, love how uninhibited seniors are, how they will try anything.  Camille and I had so much fun!  We hopped across rocks in a creek, hung over banisters, and posed by abandoned buildings.  It wasn't work -- it was an adventure.

Then again, when you get to take pictures of heart-stoppingly beautiful people like Camille, it's never work.  It's a privilege. 

Atlanta Peachtree City engagement photographer announces Jennie and Keith

When I was a little girl, my mother used to talk to strangers in the grocery store . . . and at the post office . . . and, well, everywhere we were.  My sister and I would mutter to each other, "There she goes again, making friends with every stranger in town!"  I was at the grocery store the other day, and my 7-year-old daugther (who thinks she is 14, by the way) looked mortified.  When we got outside, she exclaimed, "Mom!  Why do you have to talk to all the strangers?" 

I realized that just like my mother, I do talk to everyone I meet -- simple as it sounds, I just love people.  I love hearing everyone's story.  I love knowing a little bit more about what they know.  I love that during the few hours I am with someone doing a photo shoot, I get to hear their story.

Keith and Jennie have a summer wedding planned.  They arrived for their shoot holding hands, looking adoringly at each other, and letting me pose them.  They were such good sports.  But something was just missing . . . so I just stopped the shoot, and we just chatted for awhile.  "Tell me the story of your wedding," I said.  Jennie's eyes just lit up as she told me that her wedding was all about summer colors, the sunshine, and the warmth of the sun.  I realized I had seen a yellow dress in her car, and I asked her to put that on.  Yellow dress, sunshine, warmth . . . it just came together perfectly. 

I can't wait to hear more about their life together.  I just know they will look on the bright side of things, always be warm and kind to each other, and bask in happiness.  You can just see it.
