Let's slow down and celebrate a little

In my family, we don't celebrate birthdays for just the one day. We have birthday weeks where we treat every day as a day to celebrate. For us May is packed full of birthdays, Mother's Day, and my parent's wedding anniversary, and we pretty much celebrate the whole month. I wanted to share a few snaps I got from our month of May so far :)

Like most dads, mine can't stand having his picture taken, which makes it that much

more fun to photograph him!

My nephew and niece signing their Mother's day card for their mama :) I love how the scattered scribbles and funny looking letters are quite illegible, but they clearly say I love my mama.

John John is two years old. I was actually surprised how he had no fear flying down the slide.

My husband acting as the kid's tour guide through a pretend boat ride.

Imaginations of kids provide me with so much joy. It's very easy to slip into this world and get distracted with things that don't matter. These kids always bring me back.

The whole day Anneliese was sitting with her legs crossed. So proper and sweet!

I love these little girl's darlin fashion sense. Do you remember what it was like to think you were a princess, ballerina, or a ninja turtle?? What an age for daydreaming!

This is a fun game we made up with the kids. We put tons of their stuffed animals on top of the fan blades- the fun starts when you flip the fan switch on! They rain down while the kids run and jump to catch them. I can also see other children getting really upset if they walk in their bedroom to find their favorite stuffed animals hanging from the ceiling. Explain to them what you're doing if you think they will be alarmed haha

Like I said before, all I really want to capture are, real moments.

I have had a fixation with time for most of my life.

I usually feel rushed and the urge to save moments to keep with me always.

Photography not only provides me with a means to create visually,

but it also offers me a way to freeze time to revisit memories.

For me, there's much to reflect on from every hour, each day,

and photography allows me to open my heart to these memories even once they have gone.

Do you some times feel similar to this?

I doubt the approaching

lemon sun−

that descending surge of shine

bursting into afternoon−

will last

more than

small seconds.

Instead of catching heaven

inside the throbbing light,

pearling inside

the silver moon.

It seems as though, today

I have time

only

to race fast

like a desperate flea−

The 2nd Annual Summer Enrichment Camp

I had the most amazing opportunity to work with nineteen children for a week. The children who were selected for this camp are from foster homes, broken families, and other adverse situations. Each one of these kids startled something inside me. I love being struck- it's one of the most imporatant things in life, to be struck by another human being. It's imporant to me to get out of my own small world, my own relationships, jobs, life. I'm so thankful for this experience that poured new light into my life. These children go through struggle, conflict, not the rosiest of experiences, BUT it's like their sweet spirits, smiles, and inner joy are trying to put the pieces back together. The mission of the Summer Enrichment Camp is to provide a positive and enriched environment and fulfilling experiences for at risk youth in the Brunswick, Georgia area. Thank you to everyone who made this camp possible by donating...

A boy and his dog | Frost Photography

When a potential client approaches me in person to talk to be about making pictures of their children, they inevitably want to know about Frost Photography. Some times they have seen my work, some times they have not. The images above convey what I aim to capture. In this case, the shoot was technically over, I was gathering my gear, and I looked up to little Louis playing with his toy airplane with their dog watching nearby. There was nothing that was going to stop me from picking up my camera again. Moments like this is what I live for as a photographer. I often describe my style and perspective as unposed, real, and timeless. Those are my three attributes I strive for in my work. Ten years from now, I don't want my work to feel dated because I followed a trend. Props and staged settings are extremely prevalent in this day of photography. I'm not knocking those styles because many of them are done really well and turn out great. I just am not that photographer....

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you | Frost Photography

Happy Mother's Day to this incredible, strong, and gorgeous inside and out mama! Esteé and Peace are so very dear to my heart. It is just incredible how God gives you exactly the people who you need at the perfect time. Esteé and I met at church and I've felt like I have this new amazing best friend ever since. These two beautiful girls have breathed such light into my life, they are truly like long lost family. The feeling of being at home with a friend is so rare and special, and it is something I treasure. As you will see, these two are naturals in front of the camera. Their free and happy spirits combined with the lush green setting, horse stables, and wildflowers made for some of my all time favorite photographs. Get ready for some adorable belly laughs, mama daughter cuddles, and some guitar playing by the water. As you probably know I love capturing my subjects doing life in their every day setting. Esteé and Peace both love music and have recently st...
