Fun in the Sun



I had such a fun day on the beach with my family and three nieces and nephew. It was just one of those perfect days that I will always think back at as one of my favorite days of my entire life. There was a lot of running, jumping, smiling, and playing going on. I'm so thankful I brought my camera to capture these amazing kiddos.





These kids have a knack for huge smiles. They're just so full of love- such happy kids. They get really excited over the littlest of things. That's one reason why I enjoy being around them so much. They find so much joy in running through water, watching birds fly, and digging in the sand. I cherish every minute I have with them. 









Seining is something my father really enjoys doing; he's the dedicated one shoulder deep in the water in the photo below. You can catch shrimp and crab for a yummy feast, but unfortunately small fish also get caught in the net. I can't stand seeing them die before we can get them back to the water! I preoccupied myself with playing with the girls in the tide pool while a lot of the seining was taking place. But I do love this one I got of little John John helping out like a big boy :)




He does this face when you say, "I'm going to get you John John" 

Today, I'm full of love and thanks for the many blessings I have in my life. Money and things really are meager and meaningless compared to being blessed with such an amazing family :)

    WOW! I never get tired of looking at pictures of these little ones. I find myself smiling back at them.

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...

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.  The bride and her fathe...

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....
