lifestyle photography
This past weekend I was invited to photograph Kevin, Lindsey, Tatum and Riley at their home for their first family photos. You see I’ve been photographing Tatum since she was a little baby and basically have seen her grow right before my eyes. With the new addition and the holidays coming up they called me up to photograph a new family photo. Take a look at favorites from this weekend’s shoot…
Yesterday I met 20 month Caden for the very first time for a portrait session at his home. It took a little while for him to warm up but once he did he was such a pro! Caden is such a sweet boy with lots of energy and loving personality. He was also joined by his mother, brother and sister who were so great that it was hard to leave after the session. Thank you guys for such a wonderful evening!
What a wonderful weekend it was for celebrations, this past Sunday I was also honored to photograph William and Gayle’s 50th Wedding anniversary. Family and friends joined in the celebration at the Woodstock Church of Christ where the couple was serenaded by a song and a room full of tears. It was great occasion for such a wonderful couple! Thank you William and Gayle for sharing your wonderful milestone, may you continue 50 more years!
This weekend I had the honor of photographing Justin & Kelly say their “I do’s” in front of family and friends at the Woodstock Church of Christ. It was such a heartfelt ceremony for everyone, the moment Kelly walked down the aisle there was barely a dry eye in the crowd. After the beautiful ceremony, we headed out to the Woodstock Community Center where the celebration and emotions continued. Thank you Justin & Kelly for sharing your wonderful day with me.
I want to share my new favorite item that’s available with each portrait package session. I am so in love with these beautiful albums! They come in so many different sizes, yummy colors and unique textures that it was so hard to pick which ones to order. Come see for yourself, swatches available for viewing and touching.
On Thursday I met with Justin & Kelly at Marietta Square to shoot their engagement photos. After all the rain we’ve been getting we were blessed to have sunny skies and a light breeze for the day. We started our day just taking in the day and getting to know each other. They met several years ago when Kelly worked at a coffee shop while Justin worked at the local grocery store next door and it was all down hill from there. They compliment each other so well and were quite relaxed that they made the shoot easy. Thank you guys for hanging out with me yesterday, see you in June!
Our day started at Maria’s parent’s house in Canton, GA where the ladies were busy getting ready. It was great location because they actually had their own personal salon in the house owned by Theresa, Maria’s mother. Afterwards we headed out to Dogwood Terrace Restaurant in Acworth, GA to finish out the preparation. Then it was off to Cauble Park, just a few blocks away for the ceremony. The ceremony was sweet and heartfelt that incorporated the joining of Maria, JJ and Kayla, Maria’s young daughter. After the ceremony it was time to party so we all headed back to Dogwood Terrace Restaurant for the fun to begin. With great food catered by Dogwood Terrace, the yummy cake created by none other than Maria’s mother Theresa what else was left to do was but dance. Let me tell you, the ladies in this family loves to party. They pretty much took over the dance floor the entire night. What a great day! Thank you guys for inviting me on your special day!

The very talented Theresa… she does hair, makes yummy cakes and now a Tina Turner dance move! You go girl!
Seven months ago I met Gavin for the our very first photo shoot. He was only a few months old still crawling with barely any hair on his head but he had a very big smile. This past Saturday I had another opportunity to photograph Gavin and its was amazing to see how much he’s grown but one things for sure he still has that infectious smile. With his laid back and loving personality Gavin is going to make an awesome big brother. Thanks Gavin for sharing your wonderful smile with me this weekend!
This past Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing the most amazing kids and not to mention cute! David & Emma Lou are a very loving brother sister and I was just amazed at how wonderful they were to work with. Poor little Emma Lou started out with a fall right after getting out of their car but she sure was a trooper and showed me all her cuteness. David was great as well, he loved getting his pictures taken and took care of his sister. Great kids and weather, what more could I have asked for? Thanks David & Emma Lou!
With the rain we’ve received in the past week Laura & Caleb were certainly in luck this past Saturday, when the sun came out and the ground dry. It was a beautiful outdoor ceremony located at the Beaumont Farm in Canton surrounded by family and friends. After the ceremony everyone moved into the indoor arena for the reception where we were treated to some yummy food by Daisies To Roses (thumbs up to the chicken salad, YUM!) and music by Atlanta Bands and DJ’s to get everyone moving. It was a unique celebration that all started at the farm when Laura & Caleb first met. Thank you guys for letting us be part of your celebration! Also, thanks to the ladies from Blue Orchid Productions for keeping us entertained!
