Here is a peak of me in action. These shots were taken by my assistant while at Courtney & Anthony.......also, Heather & Nick's recent weddings. It is pretty neat to see the oher side of the camera, especially for me.

Here are a few pics from Courtney and Anthony's outside wedding in Hogansville, GA on May 3rd, 2008. It was another one of those crazy May Saturday's where one minute it was storming like crazy and the next it was sun-shiny beautiful outside. When time for the ceremony approached the weather was absolutely gorgeous. The horses were out in the field by the barn, the temperature was perfect and the ordeal with Goody's tuxedo rentals had almost been forgotten :-) I wish both of you and your families the very best in all that you choose to do! You guys are awesome!

Whittany and Jeremiah's wedding day was also on May 3rd.....and the weather was unpredictable. At the last minute they had to change their outside 'duck pond' ceremony into the sanctuary of the church. The weather did finally clear and we were able to do a bunch of photos outside, which was awesome. I know that they were both very happy about this. You guys are great. I know you will be happy wherever the road may take you!

You may not be able to see the imprint in this image, but I looked over and saw that my name was on Whittany's shoes. So cool. I've never seen Christy on the inside of anyone's shoes before!

I like the lighting in this image.

Lauren and Matt were married on May 10th at the lovely DUNAWAY GARDENS in Newnan, GA.

It was another one of those crazy weather days in GA Thankfully the rain subsided during the ceremony in the gardens and also for pictures afterwards. If you have never been to DUNAWAY GARDENS I suggest you check it out. So much history and beauty all wrapped into one! Very nice.

Fallon and Allen were married in Carrollton, GA on May 17th. The weather was fabulous and the ceremony well thought out. I had the pleasure of photographing their engagement pictures as well. They are so great to work with and so completely comfortable together. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!

I love these shots......this one and the next!

Right before the ceremony

Brittney and Bo were married May 24th at the beautiful Primrose Cottage in Roswell, GA. What a terrific place for your ceremony and reception. The staff was so attentive and professional. I was blown away by the complete package. Brittney and Bo, you guys are inspiring. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day.

I love the color and design of these dresses!

This is a great shot showing the front of Primrose.

The famous 'red' tub.

A dance.......you and I

Summerfest is celebrating their 25th year in Atlanta, Georgia. Will and I decided it would be cool to check it out. ART * MUSIC * FOOD & FUN

Here I am trying to cool off with a frozen Minute Maid lemonade. It didn't really work! The Temp was well into the mid 90's. I overheard some people saying that a couple of bodies were found completely melted into puddles of slimy flesh. It was crazy!

Very cool pottery pieces by a guy from Fairburn, GA.

A photo shoot going on in the volleyball area.

A very cool plant that was screaming " Photograph me!"

Main Street

This playground was really modern and cool. I really liked this swing. Fun for adults and children too :-)

Here I am digging into the frozen lemonade. This stuff is crazy sweet. I couldn't help it......survival instincts kick in when the temperature is crazy HOT! Typically I wouldn't touch the stuff!

Okay, this is the last picture. Will actually found 'Wilson'. Tom Hanks can now rest easy. Wison was found in the Virginia Highlands on June 6, 2008. How many years has it been? WE LOVE YOU WILSON...

This is one of my favorite maternity photos as of late. It really tells a story. I wish you the very best Gigi. I know you are very proud :-)

Wedding Lenox

The above is a great source for finding vendors for your wedding or event.

Okay....here we are!

Will is in the front on the left. Autumn is next to him on the right. She will be in 8th grade this next school year.

In the back there I am on the left with my tongue sticking out, then Dylan (the 2008 High School Grad! Yippee) then Austin on the right. He will be a junior in the Fall. This was actually taken last night at my parent's home. We had a cook-out slash graduation party for Dylan. Tomorrow night is the big event! We are very much looking forward to it. Big Smiles :-)

Sweet Peggy. Here you see that she has just been trimmed with the clippers by her Aunt Bobbi. Hair was everywhere, the clippers were buzzing away and Peggy just laid there as if she were at the spa. Her hair is SOOOO thick...........and it smelled really awful when it was coming off.........I am telling you, the hair smelled so bad.

She was bathed right afterwards and is so happy and smells really nice. (Bobbi, I am picking up that other shampoo today while out)

As a note.... Peggy ADORES Aunt Bobbi. She will do anything in the world for her. It is beautiful.

BEFORE she was trimmed

WHAT is that?

After nearly two and a half years of anticipation, Christa and Eric got a phone call on a Friday, met their son on Saturday and brought him home on Thursday. A whirlwind of activities, emotions, laughter and tears all rolled into one week! I have known this family for many many years and am so very happy for them. It was a priveledge to have the opportunity to photograph their first family pictures.

It was April 26th when I was waiting for Stephanie and Jonathan to arrive at their wedding reception.......held at The Mansion Ballroom in Carrollton, GA. Then suddenly, the rain clouds broke up and this beautiful rainbow appeared. It was magnificent. What a day of crazy weather............wind, rain, hail and rainbows all wrapped into Stephanie and Jonathan's wedding day!

My daughter came home with this baby box turtle a few days ago. She claimed him (or her) as her very own pet turtle. So she set up a 'cage' for the turtle.........fed it some things she thought it would like only to find out from a little internet research that he doesn't like any of those things. Who would have thunk?

Box turtles need specialized attention, are sensitive to temperatures and require a varied diet of certain foods. So we made his new home more comfy and gave him the right food. He hides in a hole he made in the dirt most of the time.

I think this is going to be short lived and he will be back in the woods soon. Did you known they live 40 years or more. Some have reached 100! WOW. This is a long term commitment for Autumn.

HANNAH & JESSE

APRIL 5th, 2008

The ceremony was in Clem, GA and the reception was held at the college in Carrollton, GA.

It was awesome to photograph Hannah and Jesse's wedding. I have watched these two grow up for many many years........9 I think? We have taken many family pictures in various locations, pictures wtih the horses, senior portraits and the weddings of Hannah's two older sisters. I really do feel like I am a part of their family. Which wouldn't be a bad thing because their families are incredible. The ceremony was choreographed so well! I have never seen anything like it. So much detailed thought went into it. The best to you guys for always!!!!! I am so happy for you!!!

AMBER & LOGAN

APRIL 12th, 2008

The ceremony and reception was located at the beautiful ASHLEY OAKS MANION in Jonesboro, GA. What a great choice! Flowers were in bloom and the rain dissipated early in the day...........the weather turned out gorgeous. They had an irish theme to their wedding with many many thought out details. The bridesmaids dresses were also a very pretty green as was Hannah and Jesse's wedding above. I wish you guys much happiness. You are truly incredible together!

KETARA & JEREMY

APRIL 19th, 2008

This was the very first wedding to be held at the new Church of God located on Hwy 34 in Coweta County Georgia. It is such a beautiful church. The green grass and blue sky complimented it well. The ceremony was beautiful. Ketara and Jeremy said their own vows which was very sweet. The flower girls made it down the aisle but then they felt compelled to run into the arms of loved ones in the pews :-)

I wish you two a lifetime of beautiful memories together! Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your special day!

Stephanie and Jonathan's Wedding Day

April 26th, 2008

The ceremony was located in a beautiful church in Temple, GA and the reception was held in The Mansion Ballroom in Carrollton, Georgia.

WHAT A CRAZY WEATHER DAY! WOW!

This wedding flies to the number one spot for 'crazy weather wedding days' for me! We experienced wind, sprinkles, torential rain, hail, rainbows ( Big Smiles ) and terrifying driving conditions. Was it just me that drove through the two small rivers crossing the highway on the way to the reception?

Aside from weather talk, Stephanie and Jonathan's ceremony and reception turned out to be exceptional. So much thought about every SINGLE detail prevailed on April 26th.

Much love to both of you guys in all that you choose to do...........and many thanks for allowing me the opportunity to be a part of such a special event!
