We're Published in The Knot!

Fantastic news! One of our images from Beth & Tim's wedding last year was published in The Knot Georgia for Spring/Summer (on the magazine stands now). We are so honored to be included and couldn't be happier for Beth & Tim. Since they're wedding, Nick and I have become great friends with them and have enjoyed many delicious dinners and lots of laughs. Their picturesque wedding was a photographer's dream come true and it is so gratifying to have one of their favorite photos published for everyone to see. Happy Anniversary, Beth & Tim!

The "flashback" picture is one we took immediately after their ceremony as the sun set on beautiful Neverland Farms in Dahlonega, GA.

Blog Neglect

I'm sorry! I haven't been ignoring you. Just so busy that blogging got lost in the shuffle. Between all the holiday orders we've been working on, preparing for 2008 with new pricelists and products, and even wedding dress shopping, things here have been exciting and exhausting.

Yay! We bought a gorgeous dress on Saturday from La Raine's. Laraine, Melissa and Topher are so great! If you're looking for a dress or accessories, be sure to check out their new store on N. Highland in the Virgina-Highlands.

Did I mention being sick AND finishing up the kitchen renovations in the next month? Busy... uh, huh.

I did manage to update the blog with some recent favorite photos in the brand new banner. Like it? Hope so...I tend to spend so long on things like that to make it just perfect that it means I don't eat lunch until 2pm. So, I'm hungry!

Anyway, I will post more this week as things settle here.

Johnny's Teddy Bear

Our last portrait of the holiday season was of Johnny and his parents in Auburn, GA. It was great to get out into the country - 45 minutes from Atlanta is actually countryland! They mentioned that they used to live on a farm not far from their current home. Wow! Imagine the fun portraits at a farm! We'll have to do that next time.

Johnny was full of energy and was excited to pose for my camera. Playing with all his fun toys, including Elmo, a giant teddy bear (bigger than him!), and mom's drum kit, helped describe what life is like at home with mom and dad.

Thanks for such a lively time! Enjoy the slideshow.

Gabrielle & her shoes

Last Friday I joined the McLeod's in their beautiful Brookhaven home to photograph some portraits of their adorable daughter, Gabrielle. She is the kind of cute that whatever mom and dad dress her in, she is adorable. I was shocked when I found myself pinching her cheeks at one point. When did I become the Grandpa that squeezes cheeks? :)

There's something so cute about baby shoes. I think I've posted about this love of mine before, but I can't help mentioning it again. I think it must go back to my love of my dollhouse as a little girl. It is so cool to see normal size objects in miniature. All the details are shrunk down with such precision that is just baffles me. Check out Gabrielle's brown boots which were her dad's personal favorite.

It's such an honor to be asked to step into a family's home to capture the little moments that make their family uniquely them. With every portrait, I am reminded of how lucky I am to have this job!

Take a look at Gabrielle's slideshow below. Thanks again, McLeods!
