Raya is one of our babies whom we’ve had the pleasure of documenting over her first year of life. She celebrated her first birthday with friends and family at her home back in September. We followed up with her official one year session a couple of months later at another place where this family spends a lot of time. Raya spent most of her first year hanging out with mommy, daddy and her grandparents at the Country Club at Lake City . It’s a family affair! It was only fitting that she have a session there. She’s probably had many “firsts” there over the course of her first year.
We had so much fun with their session! From frolicking on the course to creating dramatic images with assault riffles in the cart shed, it was a good time – even in the rain! There was even a beautiful rainbow at the end.

One of the results of their AWESOME session was one of the coolest Christmas we’ve ever done! I LOVE it!! It definitely tops the list

Pretty much any day now, the newest member of this adorable family will make her debut into the world. We are so excited! It has been such an honor documenting them over this past year and we’re just tickled to death to be able to spend yet another year with them. It’ll be a little bigger slice of life this time.

A few months ago we met up with Ella and her family for a brief 12 month session at The County Club at Lake City. We then returned to Ella’s home for her “encore” session. Kids are so much more comfortable and themselves in surroundings that are familiar. Ella is absolutely precious, and it has been such a joy watching her grow up this past year. We will soon feature her Baby’s First Year album design, so stay tuned! Here are some of our favorites from our last session.

Sarah & Joe’s Paradise Cove wedding is quickly approaching, and we are so honored to be a part of it. These two met on the job and in time were drawn to one another. Sarah got Joe’s jokes and that makes her a “keeper” in his eyes. He initially did not intend to date anyone he worked with. Oh well!! They no longer work together but enjoy very much being together doing pretty much anything when they can. Sarah loves Joe’s easy-going attitude, the way he always puts others first, the color of his eyes, and his sarcastic humor that’s [...]

Jenna reached out to us last year after she and Patrick got engaged. She and Mike have know of each other since their teenage years in St Timonthy’s youth group in Atlanta. She wanted to know if we knew any Atlanta photographers we could recommend. “Us” we said!! We consider Atlanta a second home to us (our family is from there after all) so there isn’t a travel charge for us to document wedding stories there. We met soon thereafter and are SO excited to be a part of this amazing journey. Jenna & Patrick met through mutual friends at [...]

Kate & Matt celebrated one year of marriage in October. Although we did not document their wedding story and knew nothing of one another at the time, they have become fans of ours over the last year. They decided to have us create some beautiful imagery to celebrate their first anniversary and their deep love for one another. We like to call these “We Did” sessions. These two have been together for a long time as Matt was Kate’s brother’s best friend growing up. The relationship just sort of happened over time. Kate comes from a very large family with [...]

She was absolutely radiant – beaming, actually. Suzie was just completely beside herself on her wedding day. I don’t have to tell you as you can clearly see it on her face. Just LOOK at her! See more about their love for yourself in their love story video. Suzie was not concerned in the least bit about anything outside of becoming Todd’s wife. Not even the chilly weather phased this lovestruck bride. Todd himself was a bit overcome at the sight of his beautiful bride being escorted by her loving father down the aisle to become his wife on 11.11.11. [...]
