Sneak Peek: Winston

Newborn Winston was three weeks old when we took these portraits a few days before Christmas, but he was still a tiny 7 pounds. He and his Mom were such troopers. The power went out in my studio and we had to move our session to my house instead. It was so easy to shoot them though, because they are both such cuties! I had a great time meeting them. Winston's Mom is a fellow art teacher like me!

Baby Quilt: Little Golden Books

I recently had a pregnant, soon-to-be-mama see my pillows for sale in Helix ( in downtown Athens, Ga.) and bought one for her nursery. She also ordered a custom baby quilt for the room as well. I used red and brown fabrics to coordinate with the really cute Little Golden Books fabric. It even has the Saggy Baggy Elephant on it! It looks like her daughter is having fun playing on it!

Best Halloween Costume Ever!

I could not stop laughing when I saw what my brother came up with for his Halloween costume this year... a Travelocity gnome! He just may be the tallest gnome of all time measuring in at 6 feet 4 inches!

Sneak Peek: Christina and Justin's Wedding

Christina and Justin were such a fun couple to photograph during their wedding at the State Botanical Gardens in Athens, Georgia. The location was special to them because they had their prom together back in high school in the same conservatory where their reception was held. So sweet! Christina was an elegant bride in her lace gown and Justin just may be the funniest groom I've worked with to date. He definitely had the craziest dance moves!

Sneak Peek: Erin and Charlie's Wedding

Erin and Charlie were married on a beautiful family farm in Rome, Georgia. The reception site was one of the most interesting locations I'd ever been to. It was a renovated barn with all kinds of antique farming equipment, signs, and folk art on the walls. It made a really cool backdrop for the evening's events. The table decorations were lovingly handcrafted by the bride's mother out of old barn wood and antique trimmings. The weather was perfect, the food was out of this world, and the happy couple was just as they should be... happy to be marrying the love of their life. Congratulations Erin and Charlie!
