Ansley {6 Days New}

Recently, I had the opportunity to photograph this precious angel. She has an amazing family who is totally in love with her, and you can see how much they adore her when you are with them. Thank you, Ansley, for allowing me to be your very first photographer!

From Sawdust to Stunning

One of my dad's greatest hobbies/talents is woodworking. Through the years he has made many different items for my family . . . everything from wall units to furniture pieces to photography props.

A few months ago, I found a desk that I loved, and asked if he could make one similar. He of course went right down to his workshop and started to make sawdust. It has been so much fun to check in on the progress every now and then, and have him excitedly explain to me how he was building it, what woods he was using, and how the drawer handles reminded him of me when he saw them at Home Depot.

So, I'm sure you can imagine my excitement today when he made his personal delivery. I was stunned, in awe, beyond belief at the finished product. It is more beautiful than I could have imagined, and is something I will cherish forever.

Now, the only thing left to do is to move in!

Daniel {11 days new}

Meet Daniel, my newest nephew! He was born to by brother Brent, sister in law Joy, niece Gracie, and dogs Millie & Rosie. He is such a sweet baby, and he was a pleasure to photograph. Here are a few of my favorites . . . from the hospital to 11 days later. Enjoy!

Madi {Happy 4th Birthday!}

A few weeks ago, I had the honor of photographing Madi for her 4th birthday!  She is such a cutie pie, and we had so much fun setting up her "tea party."  Below are a few sneak peeks from her photoshoot.  Enjoy!

Mina and Tae {Engaged}

I met Mina and Tae one year ago, when I did a group photoshoot of them and their friends.

Little did I know, or Mina for that matter, that later that evening, Tae would propose!  We had a great engagement photoshoot in downtown Decatur, despite Taste of Atlanta deciding to hold a festival the same day as our photoshoot!  They are an adorable couple, and I wish them nothing but happiness! 

Annie and Friends

These precious girls are about to graduate, not from high school, but from elementary school.  As a teacher to 4 out of the 5 girls, I have spent the majority of each day with them for the past nine months, and I can tell you that these are some amazing young women.  I had the honor and pleasure of capturing this special moment in time for them . . . a crossroads between the excitement of moving on to a new adventure, and holding on to those special friends who have become such important people in their lives.  Thank you girls . . . for allowing me to spend not only the evening with you taking your pictures, but for allowing me to spend the year as your teacher!  It has truly been a privilege.

Sneak Peek {Chase Long}

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with this cutie pie and his family at McDaniel Farm Park in Duluth.  It was a perfect afternoon, and the sunlight couldn't have been better!  This photoshoot taught me that two year olds don't need a room filled with toys to make them happy . . . they just need a large field of grass, some sticks, and a dandelion! Thank you Chase, for being such a great little subject to photograph!  Here are a few of my favorites from their photoshoot.  Enjoy!
