I'd like you to meet....Brady!! {Savannah Baby Photographer}

I'd planned for a long time to do birth pictures of this little guy. Marianne and I had joked and planned this out. We had certain weekends that would work out better than others for his birth. But, as we have quickly learned, Brady Thomas does things his OWN way!!  Brady came early. As in a week early from his planned EARLY scheduled Csection date! I sent Marianne a text the morning he was born asking her to call me when she was up and moving...no response. Hmm, that's odd! Yes, she's hard to get ahold of once the day goes on but first thing in the morning I can usually catch her. So then I called her....voicemail. That's TOTALLY normal. Sometimes I'm better friends with her voicemail! (just kidding!!!) While I was leaving her a message, I received an incoming call from her number. But, it wasn't her! It was her husband, Rob...he wanted to let me know they were at the hospital having a BABY!! I couldn't believe it!! There was no way I could be there!  So, I was bummed for .05 seconds...but got over it because I was so excited to know the baby would be here soon!
I just got a chance to travel to Savannah this weekend. It was a quick trip, but lots to do while I was there. I was so exited to see Marianne and her family and get my hands on that precious baby boy. And he was totally all I'd been waiting for! Such a cutie pie! Here is a sneak peek to our session with Brady Thomas. I could just squish him all day long! He's that cute!! And his mama, she's beautiful...but that goes without saying! :)  Oh, and stay tuned....this lil man has one handsome big brother!! Lawson and I did a super fun session before I left yesterday. I'll be sharing that one soon!

A sweet gift for Father's Day {Milledgeville GA family photographer}

This update is way past due!! Last week we shot these pictures for a Father's Day surprise...well, halfway through the shoot Dad came home. SURPRISE! But, even though the actual surprise didn't go as planned, I'm sure he's still going to be a very happy Dad with these pictures. These four boys are quite a bunch! Never a dull moment, that's for sure. ALL boy! Mischief abounds, but you can definitely tell that they are sweet boys. I enjoyed hanging out with them at their house and capturing these images. Enjoy this little preview and I'll get the rest ready for you today! Thanks so much, Mandy, for scheduling this session. This session is probably going to inspire me to do a Father's Day special.

Jessica and Jason got married! {Georgia wedding photographer}

This past Saturday, I helped my friend Kyle shoot a beautiful wedding! We headed over to Haddock to shoot the wedding of Jessica and Jason. After a little "off roading" with Kyle, I was more than surprised when we arrived at such a pretty church!! An ideal location for a wedding, that's for sure! The ceremony was super sweet and the couple was honestly one of the most precious couples I've met so far. And let's not forget the bridal party...they were pretty incredible!! Hysterical might even be a better description!  Here's a little bit of what I captured from my perspective on Saturday. You can find more on my Facebook Fan page (click here!) Congratulations, Jessica and Jason! I hope you are enjoying your Honeymoon!

The beautiful dress


The smiling bride...isn't she gorgeous!?!


I absolutely love the color of these bridesmaid dresses!


Don't you just love these flowers!?


Funny story...I'm pretty sure this is the shot where we all realized where the good looks came from on the groom's side. :) Stirred up a bit of entertainment, that's for sure!


The boys. They were very good sports! I couldn't begin to name them though...I'm sure their names started with the letter "J".


This is right as Jason saw Jessica coming down the aisle...is that precious or what!?


Exchanging their vows. I love those stained glass windows!


Mr.and Mrs. Jason Briley


love love love love love


Pretty rings


A little smooch with a vintage flair!


The pretty wedding cake...must have been super yummy too because it disappeared crazy fast!


And finally, the getaway!! Let's just say the bridal party did a heck of a job decorating Jason's truck! Even put it up on a jack to make it even a little more difficult to drive off! But nothing stopped the happy couple from smiling! They were truly too happy to care! :)

Feather Bed Session with Kaela and Jenna {Middle GA child photographer}

When I met Jessie and her two beautiful girls I knew I would LOVE to photograph them someday! I mean, how could you not!? These sisters are gorgeous and so hilarious!! I haven't had the chance to meet Dad yet, but I'd say they get their sense of humor from their Mama! :) And probably their sense of style, too! I've seen Jenna wear some pretty awesome outfits to school. I was thrilled to do a Feather Bed session with them. Definitely a good fit for these two. Although, I'm pretty sure it'd be hard to take a bad picture of either of them. Enjoy this preview! :)

Feather Bed Session with Abbie Kate! {Middle GA child photography}

My next session was with my sweet little Abbie Kate! :)  Many of you know that her mama is also a photographer (Kyle Hitchcock) and she is also a very good friend/family of mine. :) So, when she said she wanted to bring Abbie Kate for a feather bed session I was thrilled! Enjoy this preview, it's a good one! :) She had so much fun and it shows in that cutie pie smile of hers. I did learn something about Abbie Kate during our session that I hadn't noticed before...she has the CUTEST freckles on her nose! :) Thanks for bringing her, Kyle. :) Give AK a hug and kiss from her Aunt Shana! :)

Feather Bed Session with Abi and Drew {Central GA child photography}

Saturday was so much fun!!! Danielle and I both shot our feather bed sessions. And, just as we'd imagined, these pictures are precious!! I hope we can do these again sometime soon for those of you that missed out! Enjoy this preview from my session with Abi and Drew. I love love LOVE these babies!! They really are super sweet!

Giggles and Gumdrops {Middle GA child photographer}

Last Thursday I had the opportunity to do a shoot for Giggles and Gumdrops. G&G has some of the cutest custom clothing, hair bows, and flipflops I've ever seen! Angie wanted to do a shoot of their spring/summer line so she can launch her website soon. Let me say, this was one of the most fun shoots ever! And I loved every second of this shoot! Beautiful children dressed in super cute clothes that WANT to pose and have their pictures done...a photographers dream! :)
Enjoy this little preview! There are more on FB and when the Giggles & Gumdrops website launches I will be sure to post the info here on my blog!
