Todd & Missy

Missy and Todd are getting married in August, and they are so obviously in love- it made pictures so fun and easy! We went to Piedmont Park (with what seemed like the rest of Atlanta!) for pictures on the most beautiful day so far this year!

Poetry

Abany (the musician from the last post!) and I have this shared love for vintage birds and trees (note my logo... her logo has a bird as well), so she gave me this amazing bird journal, but it was the note inside that was so important to me:

"May this book chronicle your beautiful life of redemption from the Valley of Achor and the hope that we find in knowing of our future in Eden!"

I thought that was a gorgeous picture of what my name- Achor & Eden- stands for. I want it to be a reminder of where we came from and where we're headed, thanks to the forgiveness we're offered in Christ.

Crave

My good friend Abany (the musician from my launch party!) asked me to come to a ladies worship event at First Baptist Atlanta where she was leading worship. The night was definitely fun to photograph as well as a blessing to me as the speaker compared our walk with Jesus to chocolate. :)

First Wedding of the Year

35 Atlanta has put together an awesome slide show with some images from the first wedding Aaron, Amber and I shot this year. Many more to come!

Josiah is 3 Months Old!

I can't believe Josiah is already 3 months old! I've been photographing this little man since day one (literally- I was at the hospital with him!), so we've already decided he'll never recognize me without the camera in front of my face.

Matt & Ashley

Matt and Ashley were SO fun and were up for all of my crazy ideas. So that and the fact that they are just pretty people made for a fun and easy shoot for me!

Shawn & Suzanne

Suzanne is the older sister of one of my childhood best friends, so it was really exciting to see her again (it had been quite a while!) and to meet her fiance and see their gorgeous new house. Here are a few engagement pictures at their house and their new city of Suwanee.

I'm Getting A Sister!

So my brother-in-law proposed on Friday to one of my best friends- what an amazing sister I am going to get! We had a surprise party for Brittany at our house afterwards, and here are a few fun shots from it (including her making it Facebook official!):

Carson

Carson was my third newborn this week- whew! He was just a few weeks old and was such a sweetheart (despite tons of outfit changes- not a newborn's favorite activity!)

Baby Rose

Baby Rose was a premie and she's now six weeks- and still just over five pounds! She was so sweet and little and made some great baby faces. I posted the very last frame I took- you can tell by Rose's face as well as her mom's that the shoot was over!
