{A Big Announcement} Coming Soon!

Hugghins Photography is having a baby! Well, kind of. We are expanding into the world of senior photography and decided that seniors demand their very own division. We are so excited to be launching the newest branch of Hugghins Photography this summer and want to give our blog readers a little sneak peek! It's almost done- just putting the finishing touches on the blog and Facebook page. Get ready for a new look, new name, and some fun sessions!

If you are an upcoming senior, give the studio a buzz and be part of the fun!

{Shannon and David} Wedding | Gwinnett County Photographer

Shannon contacted me at the end of last summer last year to cover her June wedding. I actually didn't plan on shooting any weddings in 2011, but she is such a sweetheart, I couldn't say no. Shannon and I both graduated from the same high school and have worked together on shoots for her adorable kids clothing Southern Stitches.

Shannon and David chose Athens as host to their wedding festivities. I was excited to get back there, as I haven't been since March. June weddings are lovely, but never fail to be hot! And this Saturday just happened to be the one day that week that it chose to rain. Ok, not just rain, downright storm, lightning and all! But everyone was so upbeat and positive and we got some great shots anyway! I had a tough time narrowing down my favorites, so this post is a bit long! Thank you guys so much for allowing me to capture your special day- I had a blast!

{Brittany and Jody} Gwinnett County Maternity Photographer

It's been a while since I have had the pleasure of shooting a maternity session, so I was thrilled when Brittany contacted me to do hers! She was clear that she didn't want to make the session too serious, but keep it fun and lighthearted- just like them! I was happy to oblige- maternity sessions are very versatile and immediately the wheels in my head started to turn. Since Brittany works at a bakery, it was only fitting to include pink cupcakes (and thanks for letting me bring them home to my boys afterwards! They were dee-licious!). The mommy-to-be also brought a fruit that was quite fitting! We met up on a beautiful stretch of land right here in Loganville and the light could not have been more gorgeous- I wonder if they rent that place out to photographers! It was a pleasure meeting you both and I can't wait to see you again after your beautiful baby girl is born next month!

{Product Spotlight} Image Folio

I am loving this brand new product! This versatile piece can be used for maternity, babies, kids, couples- pretty much any type of session! Here, I have created a "photo birth certificate". It makes for a gorgeous display piece in your new baby's nursery! It comes with your choice of fabric cover and two images wrapped over a thick board and mounted directly to the folio. What a perfect keepsake and unique way to display your images in your home!

{Wardrobe Inspiration} Kid Contest

I love collaborating with clients on their sessions. Sometimes they have a very clear vision of what they want. It may come from their own ideas, or one they've seen on another blog or in their favorite magazine. Other times, it can be hard for clients to vision the final product. I have put together a few fun ideas for little guys and gals to help inspire you for your next session. If you are entering the Little Smiles contest, let's try something fun, colorful, and have a session that screams summer!
