Addison Avery - Newborn

Our sweet friends Mark & Summer just welcomed baby Addison ... 12 days later than expected! (Summer = SuperMom) I was lucky enough to be in Atlanta last week to meet Addie and take some photos of her and her magazine-worthy nursery.

Zach + Bethany - Engaged!

Awesome couple. Awesome weather. Awesome random pasture behind some building... Can't wait until the (awesome) wedding.

I'm Baaaack!

After a 5-6 month break involving a few major holidays, two NotWeddings and a move to California, I am back and ready to post some photos! 

Adam + Mallory

Mallory is a fellow Navy wife and photographer, and she has become one of my favorite parts of San Diego! Her husband Adam actually left a few weeks ago for his first deployment, so we decided to get together for some photos of the two of them in the amazing city of Coronado before he left...

Mei - Bridal

My friend and fellow Navy wife Mei asked me to take some bridal portraits of her in two of her three wedding dresses (lucky!) These two are custom wedding dresses from China that she wore during her reception (she wore a white wedding gown for the ceremony). It was so fun getting to explore Coronado with Mei, who is a total natural in front of the camera...

Twins!

This was my first shoot in California! I joined my friend Mallory to photograph these newborn twins. It was so fun to get back into shooting after a few long weeks of travel across the country.

Andy + Kari

Our good friends are following suit and entering the miltary life- Andy will soon be a Marine, and Kari will make an amazing military wife, I know it :) We got together for a few photos to capture their love... and to capture his last days with long hair!

Natalie + Jonnie - Engaged!

One of my bestest friends is marrying ... get this ... her middle school boyfriend and first kiss. They dated back in the day and then split ways for high school and college. They got in contact again last year... sparks flew... and now they're tying the knot. How cute is that? Natalie is one of the most loving people I know, and I am so excited to see her so happy and in love.

I will be photographing her wedding in November as part-bridesmaid, part-photographer... a position we like to call "Photographer of Honor" or "The Phantom Bridesmaid". Can't wait.

Rustin - Graduated!

We celebrated Rustin's graduation from UGA with all the big Athen's staples... the arch, the bell, Sanford Stadium... Rustin surprised her parents with these photos as a "thank you" for their support over the last few years- I loved this idea. 

Sidenote: This is making me so sentimental right now. Athens holds a huge place in my heart!

Home for Christmas

This goes down in history as one of my favorite moments as a photographer. My brother Aaron and I had the amazing privilege of getting to photograph the homecoming of Captain Dean Lyon, who has been serving with the Army in Afghanistan since December 12 of last year! His beautiful family was waiting for him at the airport with signs, and it was a really amazing moment when he finally came up that escalator. I could do this every day.
