Brianna's Maternity Session

Isn't it great to see old friends doing well?

Meet Brianna (and her cute belly!) - Brianna and I first met each other before my Air Force days.  It was interesting, because she was enlisting for the same job that I was.  We ended up crossing paths again in Monterey, during language school, and then living right down the hall from each other.  We went to class down the hall from each other, too.  Years passed before we got back in touch with each other, and it's been nice to see how things have changed for her - married, and now she's expecting her first child.  It's a boy!

My husband and I met up with Brianna, her husband Rey, and his daughter Olivia at Pawley's Front Porch - an awesome burger joint in Columbia, SC...about an hour and a half from Augusta (my home) and many hours from Virginia, where Brianna lives.  It was nice to catch up with Brianna for a little while before we went a few miles down the road to the capitol building for her session...not without a few hiccups, of course.  Apparently, Revlon likes to sell solidified nail glue.  Who does that?!

Without further ado, check out some of Brianna's photos!  She looked absolutely beautiful, and I am sooo happy with the results.  I wish I had been so gorgeous when I was pregnant!

Spring is Here!

Spring is here in Georgia, and it's a beautiful sight!  Flowers are in bloom, and they're bright!  Check out some of the recent photos I've taken in the last month...

Look at my crazy girl!  I'm not sure why she wanted to play with the tongs, much less pinch her own nose with them, but she seems pretty happy about it.

I'm shocked that I was able to convince her to take a "normal" photo for me.

We went to the Riverbanks Zoo when my in-laws were in town.

Also, I got a new macro lens.  I'm pretty much in love.

That's my pouty baby.  She was upset that she wasn't allowed to get her Dippin' Dots yet.

Isn't this church awesome?  We stopped in Edgefield, SC on our way to Columbia, SC for one of my sessions.

The Spingath Family

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to take photos for the Spingath family.  It was a beautiful, warm Saturday, highlighted by all of the lovely flowers in bloom.  We met up in downtown Augusta to use the Riverwalk as our backdrop.  Here are a few shots!

Becki & Naiyah

Isn't Naiyah a cutie?

Her mom is pretty, too.

I've known Becki for about seven years now - we first met in the tech school dorms for Air Force training way back in the day, and ended up in the same place.  It's been pretty awesome to see cutie-patootie Naiyah grow up, too.  Not only is she absolutely adorable, but she's quite the spitfire, too!

The rest of the photos from my session with Becki and Naiyah can be found on my Facebook page!

Congratulations to Alyssa and Anthony!

How fast can you organize a wedding?

If you're Alyssa and Anthony, it only takes a few days.  Check these kids out!  :)

Hands down my favorite photo of the wedding - this one is completely unedited!

A huge congratulations to you two!  Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and a marriage full of love.  Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day!  As always, the rest of the photos can be found on my Facebook!

A Little Florida Fun

I had a blast in Florida with all of my photo shoots, but I did have a little extra fun with my awesome family.  :)  Here are a few pictures from my Florida weekend.

My Autumn got to play on the beach during my beach shoot with the Koshlap family.  She loves the water so much...if I didn't know any better, I'd say she was a fish.

We also went to Gatorland. Autumn loved it, and has talked quite a bit about being an "alligator trainer" after seeing the gator wrestlin' show.

I'm not a huge fan of birds, but aren't these colors gorgeous??

The Koshlaps Go to the Beach

What a wonderfully sweet family!  I met the Koshlaps through my mama.  There is nothing to NOT like about this bunch, and the girls were so well-behaved and just so much fun to shoot!  Aimee and Kelly, you have a beautiful family, and I can't wait to take pictures for you all again!

Aren't these girls the cutest?!  You know what's funny?  I didn't ask them to cross their legs all the same!  You made my job so easy, girls!

This was all THEIR idea!  I love it when people bring ideas with them!  :)

I always love to get kids to do this :) What's a photo shoot without some goofing off...

You can see the rest of their shoot on my Facebook page!
