Take Me Out to the Ballgame...

Well, that's where Blake took his fiance' Molly after our shoot in Piedmont Park last week. I was able to meet up with these two lovebirds while Blake was on an All-Star break. That's right folks...Blake is a baseball player. But not just any old backyard player, he is the real-deal, playing on a minor league team with the Seattle Mariners! I was about to fly out to San Francisco and we could not have timed it better...especially when we bumped our shoot up an hour to avoid the rain!

Blake and Molly will be married in October, and I can't wait for their wedding-the colors Molly picked are going to be GORGEOUS!!! They are such a sweet couple, and I can already tell they like to have fun. Molly's sister tagged along with us in the park...and boy were we glad she did! She sort of became our go-to girl for the spare clothes, aka sweat wipers! Anyways, the pictures do the best job at talking--enjoy!

Senior Rock Star!

Taylor is the singer in a scream band, and wanted something a little 'off kilter' for his session. Since Milledgeville is not known for it's rocker styles and musical tastes, it was a fun challenge to find somewhere for this shoot. We had fun exploring the nooks and crannies of this place, and I think Taylor's rock-star attitude...and amazing greenish-blue eyes...really shine through in these images.
If you know Taylor, ask him for a referral card-you can receive 10% off your own senior portrait session with it! Enjoy the pictures!

Brave Girl!!

Audie braved the heat, the potential for snakes, and more in order to play in the hayfield for her senior portraits! When discussing locations for her session, her mother told me that as long as it involved a tractor or a barn, Audie would be set. We didn't quite have the barn, but between the creek, tall hay, big round bales, a few tractors, and more, I think we captured the essence...and dimples...of this Jones County High Senior. If you know Audie, ask her for a referral card-you can receive 10% off your own senior portrait session with it! Enjoy!!!

"Do You Believe In Rock & Roll?"

The Glitter Boys sure do!!! I traveled to Mississippi this past weekend to see them play at the Bottling Company, and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen! The lead guitarist, Chase, is the nephew of one of my good friends, and we were treated with a bit of backstage time, as well as after-show pictures with the band. Between 80's cover songs and their own originals, the concert was full of energy and fun. I could not resist the opportunity to capture a few photos while enjoying the music, and am pretty excited with the results. If you are interested in hearing the Glitter Boys music, check out their MySpace page! Now, on to the pictures...Enjoy!!

Below is Chase...he always has his hair standing straight up, but when it falls (after too much rockin' out) he has this awesome hat to put on!


As if an unplanned choreography...Chase put his hat on right as the band started playing Bon Jovi's Wanted (Dead or Alive)!!


Chase on the right, and the bass player on the left.


This is the lead singer, Sonny. It was his first live show with the band...he did a great job!


Jody is a JAM UP drummer, who can rock it out when it comes to Beastie Boys...he gets out from behind the drums and takes to the mic. 'You gotta fight...for your right...to PARTY! Aw, mom you're just jealous...'cos it's the GLITTER BOYS!!'


The other guitarist...he did an awesome job as well!


Chase rockin the red!


Yes, he plays the guitar behind his head, in the air, between his legs, and everywhere else!



We rocked these homemade groupie bracelets!

Milkk & Cookies....

...or should I say Milkk & Kimberly?! I have known these two since they started dating, some 4 years ago. Kimberly and I were in the teaching cohort together at GC&SU. Kimberly is stepping out and taking another leap towards "growing up" (which, by the way, I do not plan on ever doing...fully) and has purchased her first home in Warner Robbins. Unfortunately, Milkk will stay behind in Milledgeville to finish school. When Kimberly told me why she wanted to schedule a shoot, she told me that over the course of their relationship, the two of them have yet to agree on a photo they both like. There is always something one or the other doesn't like about the pictures, or they are taken at that awkward-diagonal-from-above angle that screams "self-portrait!" I had a great time with these two and their fur-baby Eden (who is the sister to one of my pups). I hope you two can find a few pictures you both agree on! Enjoy!!
