2 years have flown by!

Today is my little man, Brayden's birthday! He is 2 years old! I can't hardly believe that 2 years have come and gone so fast. We are going to eat with Grammy and PopPop for lunch and then we are going to Hollywood Connection to play (woohoo!...not). After all that fun, he is going to get his hair cut. Then finally, Nanna, Granddaddy, Raleigh, Grammy, PopPop, Eric, Mandee, Tatum and Taylor are going to come over to the house for cupcakes and ice cream. YUM! So we have a pretty busy day. Brayden, even though you will probably never read this, I love you and am so proud that you are my son! I can't wait to see what God has planned for your life. I will never forget the first time that I looked into your sweet little eyes and you melted my heart. Happy Birthday baby boy. Mommy loves you!

Pictures of Columbus

I am working on taking pictures for our church's (CrossPointe) website. I have to admit that I am a little more used to people than landscapes and cityscapes, but here are a few that I thought turned out well.

"C" and "K" Session Preview

This afternoon I had a session with "C" and "K" at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain. "K" found me online and asked me to take some pictures of her and her husband, "C". They have been married for just over a year, and "C", a soldier, is about to go back to Iraq. I had so much fun with these two, and it turns out that I went to school with both of them at some point along the line. It's crazy how small the world is.

"C" and "K", it was an honor to photograph you guys, and I'm glad we found our connections. I wish you both the best, and you will be in my prayers. I know this time apart has to be tough. "C" thank you for serving our country and protecting our freedom. Enjoy your preview, and I will be in touch with you about the rest.

Get your sessions in before I get huge!

Ok, I know this is a really confusing blog title, so I will go ahead and explain. I am pregnant! What does this mean for my photography business? First off, it means that sometime in March I will become so huge and uncomfortable that I can barely move...much less get on my hands and knees for that perfect shot of your sweet family. Then, somewhere toward the end of April I will have a c-section that will put me out of commission for about 6 weeks. However, I will get extremely good at newborn pictures since I will have a constant model. If this news throws a kink in anyone's portrait/wedding plans, I am so sorry. Well.....Surprise!

Baby "HSH"

Sunday, I went out to Lance's cousin's house to do a session with their one week old baby girl. HSH was so adorable and overall did pretty well. She wasn't a big fan of being naked, so I couldn't get any good shots of that sweet little toosh. She really liked being wrapped in a blanket, so that is what I did get. She also L-O-V-E-D the sunshine. I think she would have been quite content if we let her stay out there for hours. Mommy was not feeling well, so Daddy helped me get all these shots. Thanks "B"! I will have to come back and take some more with big sis and the whole family. Hope you enjoy the preview of my favorites from the session.

Announcements

Well, since I was working on some Christmas card samples, I figured I would go ahead and do a couple of announcement samples as well. So here they are. You would never believe what the hardest part of designing these are...making up fake names. ;-)

Christmas Sessions and Greeting Cards

The Holidays are just around the corner! It is hard to believe that we are finishing up yet another year. My calendar will be filling up quickly with fall/holiday portrait sessions. If you want your family's picture taken in time for Holiday cards and gifts, you need to go ahead and schedule a session soon. Prints from sessions after November 30th will NOT be ready before Christmas. That means if you want anything done for Christmas, your session MUST be done before the end of November. If I have recently done a session with your family, and you want to order prints or cards, you must submit your request no later than November 15th. I custom make my greeting cards. They are one sided 5x7 or 5x5 cards. Below are a few samples. Pricing is available upon request.
