The Youmans Family

If you follow my blog, you might remember this post about Asher.  Well he now has a baby sister and the family came to me for some new photos! I always have fun with this crew, but Mom Cara and I go back to college days! Enjoy this preview!

Sweet Baby Jackson-Central GA Newborn Photography

I met little Jackson and his parents this week, and it was lots of fun! He was more interested in seeing what was going on during our session than wanting to snuggle up and sleep.  From the get-go, his mama said he did not enjoy being naked-and he proved her right in the end! Jackson did what Jackson wanted, but all in all-I am very pleased with the outcome of this session! Here is a little sneak-peak for his parents & Ga-Ga (hope I spelled that right!)!! Have a great weekend everyone!

The Bailey Families

The Bailey families came to me for Christmas pictures about a week ago.  Once we got past the cold, the rain, and the door that wouldn't open, we got some pretty good family shots!  You probably recognize half of this crew, and the other half are cousins.  Enjoy the preview!

Pomp & Circumstance

My little sister graduated yesterday, and I am so very proud of her! I just want to brag on her for a second, because she is simply amazing! She graduated Magna Cum Laude with OODLES of honors and awards.  She has had her hands in just about every aspect of Georgia Southern, and it seems like everyone on campus knows her! From Mass Com Student of the Year to Dean's List to mission work in Argentina/Greece/Michigan and more-Jamie Dee is one awesome chick.  Tomorrow, she jet sets off to San Francisco for a celebratory week with our Grammy-going to see Wicked & Cirque De Solei, munching her way through China Town, and so much more! Congrats Little Sister-your Big Sis loves you to the stars!

Another Fun Family Shoot!

I had the pleasure of photographing another one of my coworkers and her family this weekend! It was a fun shoot looking for birds and dinosaurs with the boys, and it never fails to amaze me how small a world it really is!  M Family-your house and property are gorgeous! Enjoy the previews :-)

The Woods Family

This is a quickie post, to share a preview with Saralyn, Robert, and Jesse.  Jesse is a rough and tumble little guy who overcame his fear of leaves in order to have a good time! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.  Enjoy your family, friends, and time together (and...being off work!).

The Powell Family

I had a session yesterday with the Powell family out at the RiverWalk.  I work with Mama Powell, coach one of her kids on the high school swim team, and had a great time with the family.  We had a few falls, spooks, and laughs throughout the session, and all in all, I think we had a good time.  Enjoy a few previews from the session, accompanied with a few of the available holiday cards :-)

New Goodies!

If you have recently had a session or you just know me well enough, you know that I have been wanting to seriously throw my computer out the window, against a wall, in the pool, or anywhere else that would allow me to get some frustration out! Instead of breaking what was my lifeline, I kept trucking on with it, silently calling it mean names. By this past weekend, I had had enough-it was time to give the computer a break. Of course, I couldn't very well go without one, so instead I price searched, bargained, told associates what they didn't know, and came home with an amazing 23 inch monitor and 750gb hard drive! {insert HUGE sigh of relief} It is a beauty, and I am tickled to use it for editing and the likes!

In the spirit of excitement and exploration, I decided to try my hand at designing my very own christmas cards. Many photographers purchase templates from others for the season, and I can honestly say I don't blame them. Creating your own is tricky, time-consuming, and takes a LOT of creativity. Anyways, I made a few and am pretty proud of them. I think I might try again another day too! The pictures I used are some of my old favorites. If you want to schedule your Holiday Card sessions, I am booking up! Schedule today :-)

Enjoy my attempt at being digitally creative.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas....

well...not quite in these pictures, but it's time to start planning! I am excited to start showing off the holiday card designs I am offering this year. Keep checking back (all you blog stalkers out there) to see a sample of cards as I continue to post pictures from sessions. If you see something you like, let's get together and do a Holiday Session!

While showing off some holiday cards, I also want to introduce you to the Holton Family. I had the pleasure of spending some time with them out at their lake house this weekend, as they celebrated the oldest son's 40th birthday and grieved the loss of UGA's football game. This family is spread across the southeast and don't get to see each other often enough, so it was a perfect occasion to get some family pictures. If you can't tell already, they are very much Georgia Bulldog fans! Enjoy this sneak peak and holiday card preview!

Meet the Beautiful Baby Ivey

Meet Ivey, an adorable 2 month old little princess. She is the apple of her mommy's, daddy's, and Nana's eyes! I had the pleasure of capturing her funny little faces this morning while she worked on holding her head up and telling us all that she did NOT want to lay on her back. She is so strong for such a little girl, and I can tell she is going to bring so much joy and happiness to Mommy & Daddy! She was so well behaved during our session, and we were all amazed at how quickly she fell asleep towards the end of our shoot...it seriously took her less than 5 seconds from crying to knocked out! I wanted to get a sneak peak up for the family tonight-I can't wait for them to see all the pictures of their beauty. Enjoy!
