{Wyatt} 6 months | Gwinnett Baby Photographer

This handsome little dude is 6 months already! Another "Grow Up" baby, he came
to see me in my new studio and as always, did an awesome job! After a few studio setups,
we headed outside where, despite the fact that it's February, we fought a harsh sun
and 70+ temps!
Always a pleasure to see this mom and her cuties!

{Addison} One Year | Gwinnett County Child Photographer

One of my favorite kiddos came to see me this past week for her final "Grow Up" session.
I can't believe she's already one, but I enjoyed watching her and her family grow! When it comes to walking, this little cutie is a pro- and she loved to go the exact opposite way I went! So great to have you guys back!

{Anslee} 6 months | Gwinnett County Baby Photographer

This little doll came in sporting the cutest smile and pinch-worthy cheeks!
She was the runner-up for the Halloween costume contest in November, but we decided to save her prize for when she hit the six month mark- and I'm glad we did! I love this age so much and was so excited to have Anslee be my first studio session!
Thanks Mom for bringing her to see me!

{Super Fans}

When I met my husband around 10 years ago, I remember that his family was very into college football. Every Saturday, there was someone to watch- Dad is a Bama fan, Mom is for Auburn, and brother attending Georgia, was a die hard Dawg. There was a friendly rivalry between family members, but it was all in good fun.
Then there was my family. When it comes to sports, we don't mess around with college. In fact, growing up, I was taught to loathe the Dawgs. We are an NFL breed. From September to February (hopefully!), my kin eats, sleeps, and breathes Black and Gold. We trash talk. We get loud. We get angry. It gets personal and it can get ugly- but I LOVE it! So you can imagine the insanity that was my parents house this past Sunday. And although we weren't named national champs, our six Super Bowl rings say otherwise!


Southerners can have their college ball- Northerns prefer the big leagues! ;)

{Studio Preview} | Gwinnett County Child Photographer

My dream of owning a studio has finally been realized- even if it is just a
bedroom in my home!
My reluctant 3 year old was my guinea pig, but what an adorable model! :)



           I love the light that pours in from the south facing windows. It fills the whole room!



I can't wait to shoot newborns and little 'uns here. I'm even thinking maternity will work
beautifully here! Goes to show that you don't need anything huge or fancy to get the job done!

{Welcome Aboard!}

So I finally joined the ranks of other pro photographers and started my own blog. And while I am not the greatest writer in the world, I did feel like this might be a better forum for interacting with my clients and potential clients ;)
I adore reading "my" blogs and am teetering on "stalker status" for more than a few! I love seeing what other photographers do and what they're like. It's my morning inspiration!
Not only will I be featuring my awesome sessions, but also some how-to's, secrets to great photographs, and some other fun stuff! I also want you to get to know me as a person, not just as a photographer.

I have some fun new things in store for 2011!

We'll open the blog with my newest product of 2011- the Canvas Gallery Wrap

This is my own personal 16x20 hanging on my wall:



These are my new favorite way of displaying images! Your print's emulsion is bonded to the canvas, then wrapped around a 2 in. wooden frame and coated with a protective laminate.





LOVE LOVE LOVE!
