My favorite framer!

So I got a chance to take these pictures today for my favorite framer in Woodstock,..Kathy at the Picture Framer and her grandson Aidan,..isn't he beautiful!? His daddy has Japanese heritage and his Mommy, American,...and he just came out gorgeous! I don't know why,..but I have always wanted to adopt a baby boy with some Japanese heritage,....can I just take him home with me, Kathy? Just for a bit,..I'll give him back! Totally joking,..but he was precious and it is always fun to see what you get when you're not always 100% sure exactly what you got! He did great,..but at 15 months they often have an agenda of their own! But I am so happy with what we did get,..precious,..Mommy will love them,..so sweet of you Kathy to do for her! Enjoy!

Love this one!

Even after I got those leaves from the City of Woodstock's landscaper, he was totally not having it! Still cute!

Just precious!

Sweet Moments

What I love about these,..we had just planned on doing Little A's 6 month pictures,..but ended up grabbing a few at the end with mom,..simply precious,..I love the unexpected little moments that sometimes show up!

Yeah for our Monday Weekends!

This was the view from our balcony,..could not have been more relaxing sitting in those chairs enjoying the view!

View right off of our private balcony!

Our balcony! Could have stayed here for a long while!

Amazing rooms,..we slept with those french doors open all night,..I have always wanted to be somewhere I could do that! So peaceful!

It always takes me a bit to get up pictures that are my own! I am really excited to get these done. Steve and I had a GREAT monday trip a couple of weeks ago. I was very thankful to get to meet with a fav photog of mine and check out her studio,..huge thank you to Ben and Heather! Thank you guys! And was also so excited another fav of mine just happened to be there,..truly thrilled to have met you Tana as well!

Then we got an amazing chance to start a relationship with another amazing business lady in Pisgah, AL and had an awesome chance to spend a night in a "beyond words" picturesque setting of Gorham's Bluff! Truly, what an amazing, and truly hospitable host! These pictures absolutely do not do this place justice! I was just able to grab a couple of quick snapshots,..not the kind of shooting I could have spent hours on here! Though I am absolutely looking foward to going back to do some shooting in the future! We slept with the doors open and a beautiful cd playing,..relaxed while taking in a wordless view,..had a couple of top notch (don't think I could have had better anywhere) meals,..went bikeriding, and hiking during a way too short stay!Thank you again Dawn,..so much! We were so excited to have met you,..you gave us an amazing stay! And I highly recommend a trip here for anyone who would LOVE a amazingly peaceful and relaxing stay,..truly,..you will not be disappointed! Check them out! http://www.gorhamsbluff.com/ Can I say amazing one more time! Let me know if you stay there soon, and I will give a certificate for a free 5x7 on a future session!

Babies Don't Keep

A friend of mine posted on FaceBook the other day that she was sitting there cuddling her little one with the full cognisence of everything that needed to be done around the house,..but knew what she was doing at the moment was much more meaningful. Someone responded to her with this poem by Ruth Hamilton (seems it does have an known author, though we've all heard it :) ).

So I shot this newborn yesterday and got this beautiful shot of him and his sweet mom. It totally brought this poem and the post to remembrance,..I love how it turned out. (You can click on the picture to make it bigger. :) )

Sweet Little Man B

On to Mr. Little B's 3 month shoot! After some precious newborn pics, here is this little guy 3 months later,..amazing how much they change in just a few short months!

Sweet little O "Marie"

I was given the opportunity to shoot for this sweet, sweet family and their precious little one a couple of days ago. It was so neat to find out that she has the same middle name as my little Aspen "Marie" and it was after her grandmother as Aspen was also named after her great grandmother,..so special! I do love the picture of her at her changing table! Hope you enjoy these!

The McPhearson's

Got to shoot these three crazy teens this evening. Their mom did ask me if I was ready for them,...I said "sure!" This is what I have to look foward to in about 14 years,..although 2 boys and a girl may be a bit different than 2 girls and a boy!" Had fun though,..enjoy these!


Love this guitar shot!
