bibi + yoyo…the prequel
Posted on May 16, 2009
I was with the bride the day and morning prior to the wedding. Here are photos from a shower, the rehearsal, and getting ready on the day of the wedding.



Magnolia lawn, where the ceremony was originally slated to take place. Check out Abbey’s blog to see how beautifully Plan B turned out inside. I’ll have some pics from the ceremony and reception here next week.



The father of the bride with his lovely wife…and daughter.

The ladies got ready and were treated like royalty at G Salon.


Whether at a dress fitting or for the main event, putting on the veil is always one of my favorite moments. I don’t know what it is, but it makes it all come together and feel real. It was then that B’s sister and “MOH” (maid of honor) said, “this is really happening!” and a few tears were shed by all. Those are the mothers of the bride and groom in the background.



Last few moments of prep and anticipation…

Time to get serious about babyproofing. VC is mobile!

That’s her trying to sneak up on Big Sis.

The dawn is breaking, a light is shining through…

Those are lyrics from T&B’s song, and very appropriate for them indeed. These two have been through incredible challenges to get to their wedding day and they deserved to celebrate and be celebrated. I’m so proud and happy for them. And I was honored to be asked to document their day.
On a personal note, I learned a ton from my first official wedding shoot. First of all, that I LOVE doing it! Secondly, that I have a LONG way to go – but really I will probably always feel that way. I couldn’t just pick a few images to share here, so I put together some collages.
Getting ready…

Some of the details that they put much thought and effort into.

Ceremony…

For a guy who supposedly doesn’t really dance, B looked great on the dance floor…

Just a few more…




Sisters and Sunlight

I went a little crazy with the lens flares on this shoot, but they were doing beautiful things inside my viewfinder!
These two girls gave me a glimpse of my future…both full of energy and running 90 mph in opposite directions! Here are a few of my favorites.




What is it about swings? I can’t resist them.

Little sister trying to fit into big sis’s shoes…I can relate!



Reconnaissance

Yes, I did have to look up the spelling of the title…
Anyhow, I ran up the road to Savannah recently to check out the location of a WEDDING I’ll be shooting in a few weeks! So excited about the opportunity, but I know I’ll be sweating buckets when the day comes. I keep telling myself, “It’s family. It’s going to be small and intimate.” And yet, I know it’s a once in a lifetime day for people I love and I just want to do a great job for them.
While I was there, we did a quick engagement shoot. You’ll see more of these pretty faces in a few weeks!




Must love dogs
Posted on March 13, 2009

Some of my recent and upcoming shoots involve dogs. I love the spontaneity they provide since they couldn’t care less about the camera. On the other hand, it does add yet another element to consider as I snap away. I came away from this shoot with a handful of “almost great” photos with thier beautiful dog. I’ll keep working on it. In the meantime, I’m happy to have gotten some good shots of the humans in this fun family.


Mom shines when she’s interacting with her baby boy.


You can just see mom’s great smile in the corner of this one.

Gotta give daddy some love, too…


And can’t forget C the dog!


Kountry Girl

Well, a little bit country and little bit rock n’ roll. Check out 11 week old Miss K’s shoes…




Naturally, after a few wardrobe changes, some of the best pictures were the naked ones…


Lastly, I just love how tiny she looks here.

Calling all cuties!

Cars, trucks, trains and brothers

Recently I spent some time with two of my favorite little boys.
At 2 1/2, E is not about to stop what he’s doing for me. Which is challenging for me, but just as it should be.



And little A…so gentle and sweet.


I love how the photos of the two together really show how big brother is in the lead. Thanks, boys, for letting me spend the afternoon with you!
Check out the Children’s Gallery page for a couple more pictures from this shoot.
Mama got a new toy

I got a new lens and just had to run upstairs and try it out on my favorite subjects.
What is she thinking?

Rolling over, or trying to…

The best way to keep her from saying cheese is to keep her talking. Not hard to do.
