Mark and Denise - The Chapel on McEver

When Denise contacted me about photography for her intimate wedding day, it happened to be one of the only Saturdays open on my calendar. Much like everything revolving around her wedding, God was lining things up and orchestrating her day perfectly. We chatted on the phone like old friends about what she desired and how God had been at work putting this special day together. She shared how finding the perfect dress seemed effortless (you know, being 6’3 can really give you some limitations on purchasing clothing) and how the 3rd dress off the rack fit beautifully. And, might I add, that she looked stunning in it!

It was a beautiful day blending two families into one. Mark, Denise and their children all gathered together and shared in this special day. It was such a sweet and intimate ceremony with only their children and parents by their side. Oh, and of course, their amazing friends, Lance and Kate who have been incredible prayer partners and encouragers.. It always amazes me to see such sweet friendships and hear such positive things about how one prayer partner/friend can really change your life.

We ended the evening in the vineyards at Chateau Elan where the grape vines made a perfect backdrop for the newlywed couple.

Tammara's Studio Maternity

When I first found out that Tammara was desiring maternity photos, I jumped at the opportunity. I loved having her in the studio. She absolutely loves to be in front of the camera and was a true natural with posing and expression. (not to mention seriously stunning!) 

I loved that she allowed me the opportunity to play with lighting, new angles, new dresses and we even tried out the new bed space in the studio. (which I'll be totally honest with saying that they are some of my favorites from the sets)

Tammara is going to be a rockstar mom for sure and I'm excited to see her step into that role. I also can not wait to meet her baby girl!

Baby B's Newborn Session

The sweetest little family came to my Gainesville, Georgia studio a couple weeks ago. When discussing a color palette for her baby girl, Mom said she liked soft pinks and neutrals and I think I was able to deliver just that. We were able to include a few Christmas/Winter setups too.

Of course I couldn't go without getting mom and dad in on a few images and boy am I glad I did. I loved how they turned out and I hope you do too. 

Sweet "P's" Newborn Session

When this family first connected with me at my Gainesville, Georgia studio, I knew we were going to have a great session.

Both mom and her girls were simply stunning.

I loved that the siblings were able to take part in their baby sisters newborn session. And this baby girl was simply divine. Sleeping nearly her entire session, I barely saw her eyes open. She did end up showing me how beautiful they were during the last couple set ups. Often times, those awake images are my favorite. I adored her sweet, full cheeks and her little back rolls and I hope you do to.

Jinks Vow Renewal

This ceremony took place in downtown Gainesville, Georgia at the Quinlain Arts Center.

Marvin and Natalie have weathered the storms that life has thrown at them. The threat of a little rain never dampened their excitement for this special day. Vow renewals are such special ceremonies and we were honored to take part in this one. Sure the wind and sprinkles came and went, but the joy of the day shined as bright as the sun. The wedding party was a hoot, the reception was so fun, the bride was stunning and this couple is an absolute inspiration. We were blessed to take part in their wonderful day.
