A+S: Part Two

Amy+Shawn- Married!

Whoo hoo! Congratulations to the lucky couple! It was a fun and exhausting day. I wish you the best in your new life together. Enjoy these - more to come!

In the Yard...

The kids asked me to come outside to watch them ride bikes this afternoon. Honestly, it's the first nice afternoon that we've had in a while that wasn't crowded over with homework. So, they played (in the dirt, instead of on bikes) and I grabbed my camera to try to catch a photo of this beautiful moth hovering around. The moth was pretty much an escape artist, but my flowers didn't fail me. They are always just as still as I need them to be... :)

Amy&Shawn - Middle Georgia Wedding Photographer

I spent a little time this weekend with Amy and Shawn at Pineola Farms. Amy and I went to school together as kids and I'm just getting to know Shawn. We had fun talking about their upcoming wedding and about how we can't believe how O-L-D we are now. I think we are holding up pretty good. :) Doesn't Amy have the most gorgeous blue-green eyes? Enjoy this first look, y'all! To see all of the images from this session, click on this link...

Soon...

Kristen and her sweet hubby, Dennis, will be meeting their little boy, A.J. I had the pleasure of doing Kristen's maternity pictures yesterday. They are going to make great parents. Thanks, y'all for touring the town with me!

Baby Blues

Irresistible blue eyes...Heart breakers in training :)

Trouble One and Trouble Two...

Actually, it's Trouble Two and Trouble Three...
Ava, our adolescent hound dog, has the nickname 'Two,' and Lucy, our toddler mutt dog, has the nickname 'Three.' This simply refers to their placement in our home. Amber, our greyhound, is 'One,' though we hardly ever call her that.
So, today Two and Three decided to sneak out of our very finely fenced backyard for the third time this week. The second time was just this morning! Not to give the gorey details, but it was a close call that both arrived back safe at home. Ava nearly had a fatal encounter with a semi-truck. I think I'm still in shock... and they are both tired, but fine.
So, I took the camera out into the newly secured backyard and took some pictures. As you can see, Lucy, the brown one with the crooked lip, is showing no remorse. Ava looks a little more concerned. Blue, the cat, was just sitting there and looked cute. I couldn't resist. :)
Hopefully tomorrow they will be Good Two and Good Three...wishful thinking.

Little Ross - Middle Georgia Child and Family Photographer

Wow...what a cutie! This morning, I got to play with a little fireman who just turned one yesterday. He has a brand new firetruck that his granddaddy built just for him. It is fabulous! We spent some time smiling and climbing stairs and drinking granddaddy's coke. He's a very busy guy! Thank you, Patricia, for inviting me to play with y'all today. I hope you enjoy this first handful.

Miss Bella - Middle Georgia Child and Family Photographer

Oh, Miss Bella...you are so adorable! We had a great time at Pineola Farms this morning as we tried to beat the heat. Bella has grown so much since our last session,and she is still every bit as beautiful. Thanks to her mom and her "Bubbas" for helping me keep her smiling. Enjoy these first few - there were so many to choose from!

Phyllis&Ellis - Middle Georgia Wedding Photographer

What a sweet couple! They found each other in our little town after Ellis became the pastor at the Fort Valley United Methodist Church. The service was sweet and simple, and they had a dessert reception! Now that's my kind of food :)
Kelly Hamsley of Katerings by Kelly provided a fabulous spread of fruit, toffee cookies, coffee punch, and pudding shooters. Phyllis, the bride, bakes wedding cakes and even made her own! It was delicious, as always.
Congratulations, Phyllis and Ellis! Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day.

B&A - Middle Georgia Child Photographer

This week I was honored to be able to hang out with two VIPs - my brother and sister :)
They were not very fond of the photo shoot idea, but I think we ended up having fun. I hope you enjoy the first handful!
