James & Summer

Tuesday afternoon I met James & Summer downtown at the FOX to do their engagement pictures. They are getting married April 25, 2009 and after working with them, I am so excited about their wedding! They were so laid back and extremely photogenic. It made their session so easy. I just put them in the right spot and they did the rest! The pictures came out amazing! Thanks guys and I am so excited about your wedding!

Happy Birthday Summer!

More to come!

This is one of many amazing pictures that we got while photographing Megan and Matt's wedding this weekend! I am so proud of this picture because I really thought about it unintentionally! I had already photographed the bouquet and taken it back to the bride. Well I was standing outside while we were waiting for the bridal party and I spotted this old, rusty bright blue Chevy and thought it looked so cool that way. Then I started to think of how bright the bouquet was and put two and two together. Then this photo was born. I love it and it's one of my favorite pictures that I have taken in a while. I think that it truly shows our photographic style and personality!

More pictures to come in the next week!

Jennifer & Eric Wedding

Saturday couldn't have been more perfect. Joanie and I find ourselves relaxing while eating pecan crusted chicken, scalloped potatoes, fresh green beans and sipping on the best homemade lemonade that we had ever tasted. We were surrounded by the sweetest, friendliest group of people that we have ever worked with. We looked at each other and said, "I love my job."

As if working with your best friend every weekend wasn't good enough, we had the honor of working with two of the sweetest people we have ever met. Jennifer and Eric both have hearts that many people can only hope for. She was constantly checking on everyone else and making sure that they were okay. She told us to try the lemonade and to make sure that we ate dinner. I mean, how sweet is that? They were more than a pleasure to work with and truly made us feel so welcome.

The day was so laid back and full of love. The weather was perfect, the flowers were beautiful and Jennifer never stopped smiling. When Eric looks into Jennifer's eyes you can feel the love that he has for her. They are a couple destined to live out their days together. We felt so honored to be a part of such a beautiful couple and the most important day of their lives. We love our job!

They were married at one of the most beautiful locations that we have ever photographed at, Magnolia Hall. Peggy was in charge of the day and did an incredible job. She was so easy to work with and was so laid back. Hope that we get to work with her again!

Turn off the TV

Did anyone get to see Oprah on Thursday? Well they were talking about how much stuff we waste day after day without even thinking about it. Your daily coffee to-go, paper towels, water and the biggest one, time. I think that everyday we are so absorbed in what everyone else is doing that we forget to take a breath and truly live in the moment. Well today I am proud to say that I have not turned on the tv. Not while I was eating, playing with Jonas, or just because I was bored. I, like the rest of America, watch way too much tv. When I thought about why I was doing it, I couldn't give myself a good enough answer so I turned it off. Since doing that I have been able to get so much more done! I ran my errands, unloaded the dishwasher and even managed to sneak in a photo shoot for Jonas. I feel refreshed and more focused. A great way to start the weekend.

So I challenge all of you, when you get home and are tempted to turn the tv on to watch an episode of Friends for the 5th time, turn it off and go for a walk or call a friend. I promise you will feel better!


Here is a picture of Jonas that I took during our "Shoot"

Amy's Headshots

Today was absolutely beautiful so I loaded up Jonas and we headed to the square to do some headshots for Amy from Amy VanMeter Events. Amy was the wedding planner for one of our past brides. Not only is she so easy going and relaxed, she is one of the sweetest people we have worked with. I offered to do some updated head shots for her since she has sent some of her brides our way. So if you are getting married and are thinking of hiring a Wedding Planner, Call Amy! She is amazing!

Amie & Justin Engagements

Well today I had such a great time doing the engagement pictures for Amie and Justin! They will be getting married in Houston, where most of their family is so they called me up to do their engagements! Beside the fact that the wind was blowing 132 MPH, we had a great time and I got some amazing shots of them! They brought their adorable mastiff puppy but he was huge, much bigger than the puppy I expected! So cute and very photogenic!

I did their pictures at Marietta Square. It has so much versatility and so many cool walls! Brian and Jonas came along as they often do. I love having them there with me! If I could take them to my weddings, I would! We have so much fun and Jonas is always a big hit with the ladies! Here are some of my personal favorites!

***Thanks Amie and Justin! It was so nice to work with you and I truly wish I was going to be there for the wedding! You will have to keep me posted and send me some wedding photos! Best wishes!***


The two men in my life...

The absolutely beautiful Amie




Are they seriously not the most gorgeous couple?
Justin, not so bad himself :) Does anyone else think that he looks a lot like Jack Johnson?
