Baby Hudson

I didn't realize quite how long it had been since I have blogged! I have lots of pictures to share, but have been so busy these past few weeks, I haven't hardly been on my computer! I'll have lots of fun things to share coming up soon, but for now here's a peek at a super sweet baby I got to photograph last week. He was seriously so good while I was taking his picture! He never fussed, slept just a little bit, and is just so cute I could hardly stand it! Doesn't he just make you smile!?

Kellie's Maternity

I met up with Kellie and Adam for Kellie's maternity pictures this weekend in Athens. I've know Kellie for as long as I can remember since I am best friends with her sister Kerrie. It has been so exciting for both of them! Kerrie just recently had a little girl, Evelyn, and now Kellie is expecting a little boy, Noah at the end of June. I'll share more later, but here is one of my very favorites from their shoot!

Tammy's Senior Pictures

I met up with Tammy and her mom in downtown Carrollton. I could immediately tell that Tammy would be so fun to photograph! She was just glowing the whole time! Enjoy!

Aren't her eyes so pretty!

She looks like a model!

Mom's favorite :)

I loved the yellow stripe in her dress-and this yellow stripe in the parking deck.

This was our random spot in the parking deck where the lighting was just perfect! And I love the way the concrete looks!

Ellen's Maternity

I'm finally getting around to blogging the rest of these! I just love maternity sessions because it shows how excited parents are for their child-and you can definitely see it in Trent and Ellen's face! I will share the session I had with Bailey, their little girl soon. She was born just a week after we took these! Enjoy!

I had to share this one first-aren't they adorable talking to her in Ellen's belly!

How cute is their little dog Brody? He really wanted to get into all the action!

Isn't she gorgeous! It took her a bit to get laying on this bench, but she was great and up for anything!

What a lucky little girl to have these great parents, so excited for her arrival!

Happy Mother's Day

What a wonderful blessing to have a wonderful mother like I do! My sisters and I are truly blessed! Isn't she lovely! Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there!

The Samples Family

Photographing families and kids are always an adventure, and that's why I love them! I always try to get some 'traditional' photos of everyone looking and smiling-and that's when the fun part is, making up stories of bugs in my camera lens (for the kids of course!), saying that he's talking to me- but that's why I love this picture! It works! I love it because everyone's happy, everyone's smiling and everyone is looking at me!(or for the little bug in there :)!!) What a beautiful family! I'll share the 'playful' pictures later!

Happy Girl!

Here's another baby girl, Addison Grace! Check out that sweet, sweet smile! Doesn't it just make you happy!

Bailey's sneak peek!

Another beautiful baby girl! I wanted to share this picture because every time I look at it, I just giggle because of her tiny little nose!! Isn't she precious?!

Tammy's Senior Session sneak peek!!

It's so fun doing senior pictures! I just had to go ahead and share this one. It was seriously the very last picture I took, and it's my favorite! Enjoy!

Luke and Lacie

When I was really little, my parents and Luke's parents were best friends so of course me and Luke were also best buds! They ended up moving away, but we would all still visit each other. Right before college I was talking with Luke, and we found out we were both going to Young Harris. Such a small world! We ended up, I suppose 'reuniting' when we went to college, Alex and Luke became great friends and roommates and then Luke was our best man in our wedding.
When Luke and Lacie got engaged, we were so excited! I was so excited to be able to take their engagement pictures! We had so much fun and literally took pictures for about four hours! We found a spot on the side of the road and got the pictures with Luke's red truck and those ended up being some of my favorites! We're so excited for such great friends to start such a special time in their lives :)!

I love how Luke is looking at Lacie in this one-their smiles are so genuine!

The pastor of a church in Newnan, allowed us to come in and take pictures in the church. I loved the way the light looked from the stain glass!

My favorite truck picture of them :)!

Baby Evie

A week after my best friend Kerrie's baby girl was born, Alex and I drove to Athens to see her. She was so tiny and so beautiful! When I found out Evie was born, I seriously choked up! It was so special for me because Kerrie has always been like my third sister. We've known each other since we were five, lived in the same neighborhood until we went to college-were always told we looked like twins which we never understood, but loved pretending it was true! Were in each others weddings two years ago-and now she has a beautiful little girl! I'm so happy for her and her husband Matt! Of course I had my camera and spent some time getting pictures of her-I just love taking baby pictures!

I had to share this one first! Kerrie said this was her favorite way to cuddle her-aren't they beautiful!

Happy family!

A week after Evie was born, their bulldogs had puppies. This is Wall-E, Evie's puppy!

I love how she looks so aware of what's going on-even at just a week!

Mommy's touch! So sweet!

Luis and Vanessa

I met Vanessa my first year teaching, and I was so glad she asked me about doing some pictures of her and her husband for Christmas! Vanessa also does photography, and it's so great when another photographer asks you to take pictures! We met at our 'unnamed' location pretty early, and it was cold! But the weather was nice, and they braved the cold! They are such a cute couple, and Luis is so funny! I loved seeing him make her laugh! We had the nice Atlanta skyline, and lots of fun reflections. They've been married four years, and you can still look at each other so sweetly! Enjoy!

How fun are these elevators!

And escalators!

Isn't she gorgeous!!

I really love how they're so sincere in this picture.
