The Powell Kids! {Milledgeville Family Photographer}

Today I met Melissa and Andrew at Lockerly. Mom wanted some pictures of her kids (and who could blame her?) so Melissa set up the session. Melissa is a shutterbug so she had the posing down to a science! Andrew was such a good sport! He did awesome, too. Here is a quick preview from today...I'll have the rest done as soon as possible! :) I have mucho Holiday Baking to finish up!

Bo and Ellen...what a wedding! :) {Milledgeville Wedding Photographer}

Last night I shot a wedding with Kyle. Funny thing, I was already going to be there since Jon's cousin, Bo, was the groom! Why not shoot it if I'm going to be there anyhow!? I'm so glad I did because Ellen and Bo are an amazingly photogenic couple. Makes for some stunning photography! Not only do they make gorgeous pictures, they are just as wonderful in person. They are so sweet together. Here is a little preview of some of the images I shot last night. I had a hard time picking my faves, so I'll put a few on here and a few in an album on Facebook.

Chase Community Giving- Vote for Nevus Outreach

Please go to this site and vote for Nevus Outreach. This organization is one of the few that help support those people and families dealing with Nevi. My son, Anderson, was born with a congenital nevus on his scalp. A year ago, we began the process of having his removed. His was fairly easy to remove, but it was still a very difficult time for us. We are happy to report that Anderson is perfect in every way and has healed beautifully!! We are very thankful for Nevus Outreach and CHOA and his incredible surgeon, Dr. Joseph Williams.

Here is a collage of Anderson during his Nevus Removal.


And here is my precious boy now!! Thank you, God, for taking such great care of my little man!

We certainly felt a bit Christmasy today! {Milledgeville Photography}

This morning I did a session with this sweet little girl! Mary Beth brought Allison over from Macon. Let me tell you, it was COLD this morning!! Certainly on the road to Christmas here. We tried some shots outside, but she just wasn't having it. So, I brought them to my home to shoot in my "studio". I use the term very loosely as it's not a designated studio space (try dining room minus the table!), but it works! Very nicely if I do say so myself. These pictures turned out so cute! Thank you for being so easy going, Mary Beth. I hope you enjoy this little preview! And I hope Allison enjoys her candy canes! :)

The Lloyd Family {Milledgeville Family Photographer}

I have been lucky to meet some really wonderful people since coming to Milledgeville. Even better, many of them have become friends. And in order for me to do a session on Thanksgiving Day, you'd have to be a pretty good friend! :) Lori had been wanting to do a session with her family and the only time we could get both girls home was on Thanksgiving. It really was a no brainer for me...I would eat my Turkey dinner and then shoot through the food coma! lol  The images are beautiful and what better way to remember Thanksgiving Day 2009?
Oh..AND the dogs participated...the cat went into hiding, but the dogs were all ready! Enjoy!

Drew is 1! I can't believe it! {Central GA child photographer}

This morning was another great session with a cutie pie little boy! Drew was my first official newborn (other than my own!). So, it's been great to see him grow up and totally shocking the he's already one!!! I met Jennifer and Jeff at the Jones Co football field to do this session. It was bright, but that grass was super green! Love it! Enjoy this preview while I get caught up!

A little plug for my friend, Christa at Glow Salon!

I'll be there giving away prizes!!! Everyone should stop by!
(And isn't the invitation so cute?!? I made it! lol)

4 pretty girls {Milledgeville Family Photography}

Yesterday was one of those wonderful crazy days!! After I did the session at the Schoolhouse in Linton, I did a session at Lockerly Arboretum. It was my first time shooting out there and I loved it! It was also the first time meeting these beautiful girls! Morgan, Payton, Ivey and Emma are cousins. I'm sure you can look at them and tell which ones are sisters! They were great, more like awesome, yesterday!! I couldn't have asked for a more cooperative and fun bunch. Thank you, Sally for booking me for this session. I truly enjoyed it! I also enjoyed meeting Farrah and Sassy. Ya'll are one special bunch of ladies.

2 more cute little boys!! {Milledgeville Family Photographer}

Today has been wild day!! I started off the day with an awesome shoot out at the Old Schoolhouse in Linton. I'm telling you, it is such a fabulous location!! Awesome fall leaves and a quaint schoolhouse...pretty hard to beat that right now!  The only "issue" we had was the sideways limping dog...poor puppy! He just wanted his pictures done, too! But, aside of that....Christian and Collin were so much fun and very cute! Collin made me work for my shots, but most 2-3 yr old boys do!! Here are some images from this morning...enjoy this little sneak peek!
And check Facebook for a few more images!

I love these 2 little boys! {Milledgeville Photographer}

I did a quick session today for my sweet in-laws, Sugar and Papa. I'm not ready with those images yet, but I did get these two great images of my precious nephews! I love them so much and Eva thinks they are beyond awesome. Tonight when she said her prayers she said a special prayer for her cousins and her Sugar and Papa...and even for the stinky possum! That girl!!
Anyway...here are my good lookin' nephews!

Finally....the Young's!! Georgia Wedding Photographer

As I said a few posts ago, last weekend I was able to photograph a beautiful wedding in Tifton on ABAC's campus. And a gorgeous reception in Ocilla at The Shoppes at Fourth and Cherry.  We had so much fun with Elizabeth and Jake. I had been waiting to post their preview until they got back from their long awaited honeymoon...but that crazy girl keeps checking in from the boat! lol (You know I love you, girl!)  So, just incase she checks in today, here is her sneak peek!!
Be sure to check Facebook!

What a sweet bride! She had these buckets painted for her girls...and each had a tractor painted on the other side!


A girl needs her coffee...especially on her wedding day!  Check out that the cup is labeled for the "Bride"!


Gorgeous rings


The handsome groom, Jake.


I can not even begin to explain how INCREDIBLE this dress is! Princess all the way!


We had to get a little creative to get all the girls in the same shot!


The ceremony was so sweet...I cried, too!


Such a sweet couple!


Heading to the reception


And leaving...so cute!!

I've got the Christmas Spirit! {Milledgeville Georgia Photographer}

Ok, so just because I have it doesn't mean everyone else does...and maybe Eva doesn't either!? ha ha She looks a little frustrated with me today as she helped me show off my new Christmas background. It's still cute to me, though!

Something new to offer for your events...and it's CRAZY fun!! {Milledgeville Photographer}

Since Bethanne (this weekend's bride) is a good friend of mine, she let me try something new at her wedding. It's not a new concept, just something I hadn't executed before. SOOO, we put together a "photobooth" to capture some serious fun at their wedding. Let me just say this was a COMPLETE success!!!  Check these images out...and more on Facebook!!Contact me if you'd like to do this for your next event...what a fun addition to a Christmas Party!?!?

Holiday Sessions in Milledgeville THIS SATURDAY!

I had a cancellation for this weekend so I've quickly put together some Holiday Sessions. I plan to go out to the Old School House in Linton, GA. It's a very cute place with lots of room to move around, pretty scenery and most importantly....BATHROOMS!! I learned a while ago that having a potty available is so important when working with kids!
Here are some images from the Schoolhouse I shot this morning.








Email me if you're interested in booking an appointment for this Saturday. I'll be there from 9am until 4pm.
