End of Summer

You can always tell it's the end of summer by the color of kids' skin. And these boys were so handsome with their sun-kissed look. This was such a wonderful family to work with. The boys did everything I asked, and they did it with happy hearts! Don't they all look like they're ready for Ralph Lauren ads?

K's Second Shoot

She's back with a new haircut, new color and a little more sass...

SAVANNAH!

After a rough few months, Darin and I were able to take a MUCH needed vacation. So where did we go? One of our favorites places on earth - Savannah. We never get tired of this city. We had a great time...we were able to relax, make new friends, enjoy some fine Southern cuisine, and just let life go for a little while. The funny part is the photographer in me wanted to spend every minute shooting around this compelling town, but we stayed busy with other things and I only managed to photograph around ONE whole block...that's it! So here's what I got.






These are the new friends we made. We had a fabulous time with them, and we were already talking about taking a rafting vacation together in the near future. Maybe I should've gotten a photo where she was looking at the camera, but I love this one because she was always laughing, and that's what I'll remember. At least I'm consistent about the love of "real life" photography. ;)



You'd think being a photographer I would make sure I got some good photos of us on our trip, after all, these are the things I want to remember in years to come. But no, this one is pretty much it. What I need is a full-time photographer to follow us around everywhere and document the sweet things I would want to capture about us. Sounds expensive...ahhh...but one can dream...

Great Kids

My latest beach session was a family with four children. They are some of the nicest, most polite, cooperative kids I've ever had the pleasure of photographing. They didn't even mind eating ice cream! ;) So, to M and C (their parents) - thank you for raising such a lovely bunch. I can see a lot of it is done by example, as you two are just as lovely.

K's First Shoot

"K" - here's a sneak peek at your first shoot! You did great with posing and using the right amount of sass! We got some great images for your portfolio. I'm excited to do the second shoot. Enjoy...

T's Party!!

She's ONE! And sooo cute! I first met this family back in November for Christmas photos, and it was one of my favorite shoots. I'm so honored when clients hire me again and again...I love to watch their children grow. So here's a tiny peek at T's party, and I'm hoping her adorable face will make many more appearances on my blog...

Blonde Beauty

I loved this senior's hair and gorgeous eyes. And she had fabulous vintage prom dresses! Her mom and little brother came along and all three of them were super nice. I had a great time! J - I hope you love them...

Miss L's FIRST birthday!

Happy birthday Little Miss Sassy! This family is one of my favorites, and this is their third child. We had a blast during this shoot...L had me laughing so hard I could hardly hold the camera still. I have a lot more to edit, but these were my instant favorites.




Love the curls...


Sun flare is hard to capture, but it has such nostalgia...


And I'm struggling to pick a favorite edit on this shot, so I'm posting all four...
