Justin & Emily - Engaged!

This gorgeous couple is getting married next weekend- wish we could be there! 




Callie & David (the other ones)

Remember sweet Callie from this post? Well they welcomed baby brother David to the world right in time for Christmas... and right before their daddy had to deploy. I was so thankful to take these photos for the family to send to their dad while he was overseas. God bless em, huh?








Julie - Bridal

Julie is a friend from high school and a fellow photographer. And a bride model. Or at least she should be. Plus we all know that I'm a sucker for cage veils and all things vintage, so needless to say, this was a super-fun photoshoot.







Jeniece + Company

I remember getting on the bus to go to middle school and sitting in the front by the bus driver because I didn't know a soul. One day sweet Jeniece started talking to me, and any 6th grader will tell you that a new friend at a new school is a BIG deal. I have always had tons of respect for Jeniece, and I was so excited when she got in touch with me and invited me over for photos. It was amazing to see her and her growing family (a husband and three gorgeous kids!) in our old neighborhood after so many years, and when she got together with her brothers and sisters, it was hard to photograph since I was laughing so hard...





Recording Artist April Barron

I had the good fortune of connecting with Destiny Style Records, a record label that produces incredible faith-based music in the Atlanta area. I photographed one of their artists, April Barron, for her upcoming album and press kit, and I loved watching April, who was so nervous at the beginning, morph into a model. I think her confidence shines through in these shots...






Destinations

Destiny Style Records is also home to the hiphop/jazz/spoken word group known as Destinations. I cannot even tell you how much fun I had at this shoot. 






Sam Seabolt is Two!

I've had the pleasure of watching Sam grow up the past two years, and I keep thinking that I just can't wait for the little guy to start talking. If he has this much personality already, imagine the fun you'll have when you're having conversations with the guy!








Ashley - Bridal

Ashley and I got together for some bridal portraits a few months before her wedding as a surprise for her husband-to-be. We started with some "normal" bridal shots...

And then we spent some time with my favorite hair and make-up artist Anna Swafford to turn Ashley into a 1940s movie star. Goooorgeous...






Sam Presten is One!

I've photographed Sam a handful of times already in his first year- and I can't wait to get to Atlanta soon to photograph his new baby brother! Sam has been the ultimate child-model. Whata stud.
