Becky: Class of 2010

In November, I was up in Atlanta for Thanksgiving and had an opportunity to shoot Becky's senior portraits. Becky and I have known one another for a while (almost 10 years, in fact)... she happens to be my sister-in-law. :) I was so excited when she finally got old enough to graduate, because I knew she'd come calling for portraits. We had a blast walking around downtown Stone Mountain together. Here are some of my favorites from our session together.

Anna Grace

Anna Grace was my first client ever. Actually, her parents were my first client ever... my first time photographing anyone was her mom's maternity session. In 2010, Anna Grace will turn four. I'm amazed at the awesome opportunity I've had to watch her grow into a delightful little girl. Her southern drawl had me giggling the entire session as we walked up and down the rows of Christmas trees at Hambrick's Tree Farm in Hahira. Dressed like Santa, we had a wonderful time taking pictures for her family's Christmas card. With Christmas over, it's safe to hope that everyone has received the card... so I'm able to share her images on here.

Dillon

Every time I see a newborn, they become the most beautiful baby I've ever seen. Parents always laugh and say "I bet you say that to every one." The truth is, I do. It's because it is. :)
Dillon is the second grandchild born into the Burgess family that I've photographed. I consider myself lucky to be their exclusive photographer. Hahaha. Here are some of my favorite images from Dillon's newborn session. As just 4 days old, Dillon was the youngest baby I've ever photographed.

Giving is Awesome WINNER!

I am soooooooooo excited to announce the 2009 winner of the Giving is Awesome contest. If you're new to my blog and have no idea what Giving is Awesome is, head over to THIS post for more details.
I was overwhelmed by the responses this year, and I'm beyond excited to share with you the winner. One of the nominations came from Beth Baker. Her entry tugged my heart strings from the first sentence. I'm thrilled to announce that her nominee, Carolyn Dow, is the winner! Carolyn, congratulations and an early Merry Christmas to you. Beth, this also entitles you to some goodies! :) E-mail me, and we'll talk!

Jannett Family

I always love photographing families and finding out what makes them sync... what makes them laugh... what makes them unique to themselves. The Jannett Family was awesome. Our session from start to finish was 34 minutes, and I was blown away at how many images I was able to get. I was amazed that a 6 year old and a 4 year old could cooperate the way D and A cooperated. It's like they were sworn candy or staying up late as a bribe for good behavior. :) Whatever it took, it worked. It also might have helped that a crazy photographer kept making silly faces or had mom and dad stand behind her to make strange faces.
