Santa Claus!

Yesterday I was excited to spend the evening with Santa in Barnesville, GA! I have never done Santa photos before so this was exciting to me! I had a great time and it was amazing to see all the bright-eyed and sometimes teary-eyed children! :) Santa was awesome, of course and I was obviously on my best behavior in front of the him.

Thanks for having me, Southern Rivers Energy, it was great fun.

The Hinds Family

Yesterday I spent late afternoon with the Hinds Family at their home. We began our portrait session with some formal shots but also allowed for some interaction and personality to show through. These are the shots I love. I find a photograph truly intriguing we you can see the emotion on the faces of those on the paper.


We ended our shoot on a much more relaxed note. We headed down to the waterfront in their community, one of the families favorite places.


The girls were so beautiful, this is one of my favorite shots of the day!

The McCrary Family

I had a great time photographing a beautiful family for their fall photos. The boys were so cute and loved playing on the playground. I love to photograph children in this type of setting, natural, allowing for their personalities to come through the lens and onto the image.

It was a little difficult to get them to pose together but I loved this shot that was the result!

Baby Mallory

Here she is, baby Mallory. She is 7 weeks old and so cute! She is the most easy going baby I have ever seen. I photographed her Mommy for a maternity session not too long ago and now she is here. She is a doll! Congratulations Heather on a beautiful baby girl.






Mallory and big brother Charlie.

The Evans Family

Last night I was so lucky to be able to spend it with a wonderful growing family. The night was a celebration to welcome home three little ones through the miracle of adoption. The house was filled with the smell of good food,the sound of laughter and the feeling of love. I am so happy for all of you.

What a beautiful family!

Portia

Today I had the pleasure of photographing gospel singer Portia W. She has been recording her first album in Atlanta and is nearing the end. Today we took many of the photos to be included in her CD jacket and also for later promotional uses. We did our shoot outside to incorporate nature to symbolize the inspiration she had for her music and lyrics.

Images like these were taken with the knowledge that other graphics will be layered on top to fit with the overall concept of the album.

Portia was a lot of fun to photograph and I hope that she finds much success!

Heather's Growing Family

On Friday afternoon I was lucky enough to spend it photographing a beautiful growing family. Heather is already a mother of one and is expecting baby number two! We took some really great shots of the entire family and then took some beautiful intimate photos of Heather with her belly. Baby Mallory should make her grand appearance sometime in July and I wish them all the best!




This was one of my favorite shots of Heather and Adam. I love the light and the expressions on their faces.
