Family Fun before the Big Wedding!

I had the privilege to photograph this wonderful family a few days before a beautiful wedding took place in Dahlonega, Georgia. There was a mixture of youngster grandkids, parents, grandparentes, and family members who travelled as far as Italy, who were all excited to celebrate the marriage of Aynsley Simpson and Tate Girardeau. Enjoy the pictures!

It never fails, my personal favorites are always the ones with grandkids and grandparents

My husband was in the wedding, so I thought it would be fun to get a few snaps at the rehearsal while they were busy practicing. The wedding took place at the Monteluce vineyards. I was blown away at the beautiful setting! They made the perfect choice to say their vows in such a gorgeous setting and have their guests stay in such a great location. We took advantage of being in the mountains and hiked to the Amicalola Falls, tasted the delicious local wine, and soaked in the beautiful mountain views.

I love what's going on in this candid

It was fun to capture Tate so relaxed, playing with the little ones and making them giggle. Both the bride and groom seemed very at ease, no nerves, and just enjoyed each moment. I think this is always a great thing! :)

Congratulations Tate & Aynsley! I wish you both lots of happiness and love!

Finger Painting Shoot

I've been wanting to take advantage of the pretty weather, so I decided to get some work done out on my porch today. Blue skies, plenty of trees, birds chirping, and my puppy sunbathing next to me is a nice place to hang out. This is my first blog, first post, first go at this. So even if I turn out to be a miserable blogger, the morning will not have been spent in vain because I spent it outdoors. A couple days ago, I had the privilege to do a shoot with two cutie pies, Elisa and Gavin. I approached Paula to see if she would let me do an experimental shoot with her sweet little ones! She had told me that her children were comfortable and used to being in front of the camera, so I was excited to play a little with ideas that a lot of parents would be a little hesistant towards. I'm glad she was brave and trusting when I told her my idea was to have her kids finger paint. Lots and lots of colorful paint, smiley kids, a beautiful backyard full of a bounty of trees and...

Sneak Peek, Seven Year Old Spunk

A good friend/client of mine sent me a design idea that she wanted me to do for each of her children. I tried it out on my niece first today, and this is what turned out <3 I hope everyone had a great weekend!

My Summer Goals List

One of my favorite things to do is look forward to fun things, especially summer events! For the past six or seven years, my friends and I have made summer goals lists of things we want to do before summer ends. In the beginning, some of our's were: night swim in the ocean and swim out to the sand bar as much as possible. My goals on this year's list are a little more safe, but just as fun ;) 1. Tube down the Ichetucknee River in Florida and swim in the cold springs 2. Buy rocking chairs for our front porch 3. Watch the fireworks on the 4th of July with my toes in the sand in Jax Beach 4. Read the whole collection of Harry Potter books (only one read so far) 5. Scan, print, frame, and hang collection of old photographs I've found of my family and my husband's in my office 6. Give my very difficult and stubborn pup a short summer hair cut 7. Write and finish a new poem 8. Make a cheesecake, for the very first time 9. Have a tea party, most likely with my lit...
