Julia Lauren and Michelle: SENIORS!

I have thought about shooting my sister's senior portraits for a looong time. As I sit here looking through the images, I can barely believe that we are actually there, and she is about to graduate in the spring! She is more beautiful now than I even thought she would be. My little baby sister, all grown up! We had so much fun gallivanting around downtown Norcross with her two best friends, Lauren and Michelle. It was a gorgeous day to shoot some gorgeous girls! These three are like peas in a pod... I don't know who had more fun- them goofing off together, or me watching them. I can't even tell you how much I love these images- I actually think they are some of the best I've taken :)

Girls, I hope you enjoy these images as much as I did taking them. Documenting this fun-filled and exciting year in your lives was also a wonderful memory for me. Good luck with senior year and every year after that!

Mancini Family

The Mancini's have been family friends for a long time so it was such a treat to get together with them. We had a gorgeous day to frolic around the Oglethorpe Campus, capturing their fun family dynamic. The boys were the perfect combination of sweet and playful. I especially loved capturing their silly interactions with each other- you can tell how much they love their brother! Michelle, thank you for inviting me to create some wonderful memories for your adorable family. Enjoy!

The Allman Family

When one of my closest friends, Lauren asked me to take family portraits for her I was excited and nervous at the same time. Excited because I always have such a great time with them, and their little girl, Lanier, is both adorable and hysterically funny. Nervous because Lauren is probably my most creative friend with great vision, so I knew she would have high expectations. The scenery couldn't have been more beautiful, up in the mountains of Utana Bluffs. I tried to capture a typical day: hanging around the house, walking the trails, picking fresh vegetables out of the garden, and enjoying the simple pleasures in life! Lauren and Daniel, thank you for inviting us to spend the weekend with you- we had a great time! I hope you enjoy these pictures and the wonderful memories of your time in the mountains.

Edward Wilson

I so enjoyed meeting Amanda and her precious baby Ward. This little guy didn't miss a beat! He was very intrigued by our shoot, and made sure to stay awake for the whole thing. Even though he didn't let his guard down enough to fall asleep, he couldn't have been happier just hanging out with us. And let me tell you, I was seriously impressed by this guy's neck muscles! He was determined to hold his head up on his own, which he did easily. Amanda, you were such a pleasure to work with. Thank you for inviting me to your home to capture these precious and fleeting moments of your newborn baby boy.

Haas Family 2012

As always, it is a joy to see my friend Sarah and her sweet family. It has certainly changed a bit since I first shot Reilly's newborn pictures more than 3 years ago! I can hardly catch up to her now and little brother William wishes he could too. We had a blast playing around the Square and wrapped up just before the raindrops started to fall! Sarah, thank you again for inviting me to capture another new and exciting year for your family.

Alexis: Senior Portraits

I barely recognized Alexis, all grown up- a senior in high school! I'm pretty sure the last time I saw her she was running around her front yard playing tag or picking up some weird species of insect. Let's just say it's been a while. So it was truly a pleasure seeing her again and the lovely lady she has become. Alexis, I can tell in just our short time together that you are a beautiful person inside and out! I hope you enjoy these images and your last year of high school. Good luck with your college decision!

Ruby's 1st Birthday

Tara and Andy, thank you for including me on such an exciting day for little Ruby! She was such a trooper as we trekked through the jungle of mosquitoes in the crazy Atlanta heat! When she finally got her sweet reward, I think she thought it was worth it ;) Congratulations on a wonderful year with your cutie and here's to many more fun times ahead!
