Athens and Watkinsville's most awesome portrait experience for babies, kids and families
Ok, so I admit…way down deep somewhere I have a 9 year old boy sense of humor. Ridiculous, I know…but I just can’t help it. Everyone can appreciate a little bathroom humor now and then right!? Hope the jokes don’t continue on and ruin your Zaxby’s dad! I loved having you all in the studio, it’s always nice to cut loose and be a kid again!
And yes, it never fails…we ALWAYS get the “I’m DONE!” look
And belly jealousy! Good grief, how many pregnant women do you know (or have known) that you could still see their rock hard awesome abs (and, if we’re being honest, how many non-pregnant women do we know with rock hard abs?)!? Krimson was GORGEOUS in the studio. And to think, she doesn’t like photos of herself. Well, like I tell all my hot ’bout to pop mamas….these photos aren’t of YOU, they are of the babe…and in their case “the pickle”
I can’t wait for the newborn session! This is one Heather and I will for sure work together on. They have already said they are up for anything, and I will be sure to do everything I can
and I am going to pretend that she is NOT wearing pre-pregnancy jeans that she can still button. Yea, totally not….
This wonderful pair have been married for four years now! Each year, they go out on the town for an anniversary session. This time, we did a lifestyle session at Memorial Park and Bear Hollow. See more: Year 3, Year 2 and Year 1. This year we….
… laid around on the job,
… blew funky bubbles,
… played around on the playground,
… told stories,
… fed the geese,
… watched the bears,
… checked out the alligators,
… had fun on the swings,
… had a giggle,
and watched the turtles.
Since this was a Day in the Life type session, I decided to string the photos into a stop-motion video.
And it was PERFECT! Beautiful weather (despite the bit of rain at the reception), BEAUTIFUL ceremony, wonderful couple, fabulous parents. Great great great! I hope Kelly and Jason are enjoying their well deserved time alone
The First Baptist Church in Gainesville, GA was A-MAZING! Here are just a few highlights from the day. Stay tuned for a little photo booth fun!!!
Really…only need one word to describe this wedding!
Beautiful bride: check
Beautiful groom: check
Beautiful venue: check
Beautiful wedding party: CHECK
Carrie and Tim are an amazing couple. True love from their SOULS. And theirs isn’t just some perfect fairy tale either. They didn’t randomly get to this point….they WORKED for it. Constantly growing and nurturing their relationship, getting it to the level where saying I DO was as easy and natural as breathing.
Thank you guys for allowing us to share in this awesome day. We TRULY enjoyed EVERY second of it
A VERY personal way to say ‘I DO!’
Chelci planned EVERY part of this wedding herself. Of course, with the help of some, but so much of this ceremony and celebration were a true part of HER. She invested a TON of time into each and every detail. Hand making her bouquet, her jewelry, the bridesmaids goodies, etc. It was a pleasure and an honor to see two of the most fabulous people make their love eternal and official!
*Pardon the lack of frames and watermarks, lol! I am doing this from home and those goodies are on the studio computer. So…if you aren’t Eric or Chelci, don’t steal their photos
The girls!
The Guys
The Family
Checli and Eric
Allie and Ryan held their ceremony at Cuscowilla on Lake Oconee in Eatonton, GA. Already, before they had even said their vows, their patience, courage, and trust was tested. The ceremony on the point…not happening. The rain stopping…not happening. The power going OUT….happening. So, yea…the events leading up to the actual “I DOs” was not their idea of a fairy tale. However…standing there, at that alter, in front of God and everyone saying I DO….perfect beginning to the story that will be the rest of their lives!
I don’t usually do this, but I am going to put a TON of images up for them on the blog. Why? Why THIS wedding? Well, I owe it to them. Not only because they are so fabulous, but because I know, deep down….everyone is wondering if we were able to capture ANYTHING. Well friends…yes we were
First, the images that most certainly deserve to be by themselves!
And here are little bits and pieces from the day! Like I said, the power was OUT. It didn’t come back on until just before the ceremony started. So all the photos you see of everyone getting ready, and the group shots that are NOT on the “Formal” page…all no electricity, lol!
Congratulations Allie and Ryan! May you find all the happiness you both deserve!
So I probably couldn’t have asked for a more FUN wedding to practice shooting! What made it so fun, might you ask? Wellllllll, this couple chopped some wood, dressed a baby doll, and even incorporated their two dogs into the ceremony! I’ll let the pictures do the talking
