Katherine + Nicholas

The day Katherine and Nicholas tied the knot couldn't have been a more beautiful, perfect day. You could feel the excitement in the air, mingled with the colorful fall leaves. Katherine and Nicholas infused their southern charm into every detail of the day, from cowboy boots and cotton down to the turkey feathers incorporated into the flowers. As the big moment approached, both the bride and groom were perfectly at ease... they had been waiting a long time for this day to come! Their happiness filled the ballroom of the Emory Conference Center as the southern throw-down began. Immediately I could see that both sides of this family knew how to party! A big Thank You to my assistant, Glen Wilson, who was there to help me capture every fun-filled minute!

Katherine and Nicholas, thank you for inviting me to share such a special day with you and your families. It was an honor to witness the absolute joy you have found in each other. Enjoy married life!

Ben and Kate: Christmas 2011

If this doesn't get you excited about Christmas, I don't know what will!

The Junker Family

It was another one of the beautiful Fall days we've been having when I met up with the Junkers. Julian was a little sleepy at first but it didn't take long before he came alive, showing me all his favorite things to do around the house. I mean seriously- have you ever seen such gorgeous blue eyes?! By the end of our shoot we were definitely buds and I was even lucky enough to get a big hug before I left. Precious!! Thank you guys for inviting me over to capture life before your new baby girl!

The Haas Family 2011

Every year I am so excited to meet back up with the Haas family. I've had the pleasure of working with them for the last three years. This year's Christmas card will feature a new member of the family- little William! He is quite a lucky guy with a big sister and two big brothers looking out for him. And you can tell how excited Reilly is to have someone a little closer to eye level to play with. Sarah and Keith, thanks again for inviting me back for another fun shoot!

The Brezinas 2011

I always love meeting back up with the Brezinas- I officially vote this family "best dressed!" Patti has such an eye for color and textures and their photos are always perfectly color- coordinated (but not too matchy-matchy). She even convinced her son to wear jeans with gingham cuffs at the bottom! That takes some skills :) This family is full of spunk and always makes me smile. Patti and Brad, thanks for inviting me back once again to be a part of a day in the life of the Brezinas.

The Beland Family

I truly enjoyed meeting the Belands and their beautiful little daughter Paige. She was one tough cookie, with the weather being a little chillier than we were hoping for. It didn't take much for her eyes to light up and show me that big smile of hers. It is clear how much she loves mommy and daddy! We had fun walking around the park and yelling out duck and goose sounds as we challenged them to come closer.
Thanks for inviting me to spend some time with you and capture your family's little moments.

The Napier Family

It was the most perfect Fall day, strolling around Sims Lake park with the Napier Family. Piper and Brock were just about the cutest kids ever and they made my job a piece of cake with their ear to ear smiles. Jim's parents were in town for the weekend so we even got some fun grandparent photos. Guys, thank you for inviting me to spend some time with you and capture the joy that clearly emanates from your family.
