Favorite Teacher ~ ATLANTA FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

2012-01-28T21:53:00.000-05:00

We love our Girl's kindergarten teacher...I mean like LOVE!! There isn't anything that we wouldn't do for her... I betcha $100 that every parent in her class feels the same way! One afternoon I had the great pleasure of photographing her favorite kids...her own! When I walked up and saw the three of them sitting in a circle playing their guitars...oh my goodness!! All I kept thinking was "I sure hope my kids grow up this close and this talented!"

Please check out their entire session in THIS slideshow!!

Holle Family ~ ATLANTA FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

2012-01-12T07:30:00.000-05:00

One of my favorite families!! I loved the spots we went to this year! Who would have thought the Veteran's Cemetery would have been AMAZING!! Great light, grass & setting - you name it! Then we headed to downtown Marietta - another great location! Throw in some ice cream & it's the perfect session!

Banks at 9 months ~ ATLANTA BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

2012-01-10T08:00:00.000-05:00

I always love photographing this beautiful family of boys! This session was specifically for baby Banks, but we managed to sneak in some of his precious brothers as well!

Sweet Yinka! ~ ATLANTA MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER

2012-01-09T09:30:00.000-05:00

I was thrilled when Yinka called and wanted me to photograph her glorious belly! We met in one of my favorite spots to photograph & had the best time! She is such a strong and beautiful woman! I loved the images we made that day & I loved meeting baby Alexander when he arrived!

Amelia Klaire @ 4 months ~ ATLANTA BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

2012-01-08T11:45:00.001-05:00

Sweet Amelia Klaire's 4 months session was such a fun one! I loved just hanging out with her Mom on warm August day. We got images of her eating, playing, sleeping and my favorite, snuggling with her Mamma!

Adah @ 2 ~ ATLANTA CHILDRENS PHOTOGRAPHER ~

2012-01-06T09:14:00.000-05:00

Oh, how I've enjoyed photographing (and here, here, and here)this precious child! Fortunately, for me, her parents have had me document her life since the beginning! I hope we continue this tradition!

Roberts Family ~ ATLANTA CHILDRENS PHOTOGRAPHER ~

2012-01-05T11:01:00.004-05:00

I've enjoyed photographing this family & this time they had a new family member that made it that much more fun!

Baby Jayda ~ ATLANTA BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

2012-01-03T11:50:00.001-05:00

One of the best parts of my job is photographing newborns! Not only are they precious, but they give me any baby fix I made need! Snap, snap and a couple of hours later I'm done...baby fix in, cute baby pictures taken and no dirty diapers to worry about!

Baby Jayda is one lucky girl! I see lots of loved babies, but this one nearly takes the cake! She had not only a doting Mom, but also a devoted, loving grandmother who will be in her corner for the rest of her life! More of Jayda HERE!!

p.s. that last image may be one of my favorites from this year...

The Solomons ~ ATLANTA FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

2012-01-02T11:48:00.001-05:00

I think I found a new best friend during this session ~ Belle & I bonded quickly!! I loved watching their personalities come out during this session! Both kids were so cute & behaved so well (I'm sure the promise of fudgesicles had nothing to do with that...)

More HERE!

Kipton's Girls ~ ATLANTA FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

2012-01-01T11:31:00.002-05:00

I had a GRAND idea...one I've never done before...Mini-Sessions! I'd found the perfect spot & only needed willing participants! Enter Kipton & his beautiful girls! I love this family & had the greatest time photographing them! You know...it's really easy to photograph beautiful people...

Click HERE for more of their session!

House Proud ~ ATLANTA EVENT PHOTOGRAPHER

2011-12-31T11:19:00.000-05:00

Earlier this summer I was asked to photograph the Atlanta Tool Bank's annual "House Proud" party. The House Proud event involves 8 corporate teams of volunteers who painted, cleaned and worked on 8 homes scattered throughout Southeast Atlanta one Saturday morning. A truly inspiring event and equally fun to photograph!

You know you want to see more HERE!

Maurie's Girls ~ ATLANTA FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

2011-12-30T16:25:00.000-05:00

I had the best time with this family - friends from our school. They bid & won a portrait package that I had donated to our school's annual auction. To see more of their session go HERE!

WOW!

2011-12-15T10:06:00.004-05:00

I just looked at this blog & realized that it does not represent how busy I've been this fall!! Why? Well, I've taken up a new way to show my images to my clients...slide shows. I love creating them, love finding the right music & love how they show off a photography session!

So, I've decided that I'll start sharing them here as well - unless a client rather I did not. Let me start at the beginning! With one of my favorite clients...

To see more of Anderson's 4th birthday party...go HERE!!

Mini-Sessions! ~ ATLANTA CHILD PHOTOGRAPHER

2011-05-30T14:30:00.007-04:00

Oh! I'm so excited! Yesterday, my family & I went for a bicycle ride and I found the coolest place! Literally, it's a wildflower field in the middle of a parking lot! I couldn't believe my eyes, so I went back today to double-check with my kiddos & yep, it is a wildflower field on a converted parking lot! So, my mind started racing & I decided that I was going to offer Linden Tree Photography's 1st ever mini-sessions!

I did what every photographer who is a mother does...I grabbed my kids & made them pose for me so that I could check out this AMAZING site!

Stogners ~ ATLANTA CHILD PHOTOGRAPHER

2011-04-09T10:58:00.001-04:00

I've photographed these children for several years now & I'm telling the truth when I say they have got to be some of the most striking, photogenic children around! That Mary James OWNS the camera!! I especially love the last image, the one with the girls in their Halloween costumes - aren't they gorgeous?

Boone ~ ATLANTA CHILD PHOTOGRAPHER

2011-04-07T09:41:00.001-04:00

I wish I could take credit for this pose...but it was ALL Boone, not me!

Boone & his super cool parents were my 1st photography gig here in Atlanta once we moved here last summer! I had the best time hanging out with these three and as usual, left feeling like I'd made life-long friends!

Knox Girls ~ ATLANTA FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

2011-04-05T09:35:00.000-04:00

I feel like I've watched these girls grow up and I can't believe what wonderful young ladies they are! We had a great time hanging out ~ they have such a great relationship with their mother who I couldn't resist including in some of these images! I've said this before, we should all be in photographs with our children, they will cherish them a long, long time from now!

Baby Rolls! ~ ATLANTA BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

2011-04-01T09:16:00.001-04:00

He looks JUST like his Daddy in this image!

This little guy couldn't be much cuter! Adored by his Mama ~ that's for sure! Don't you just love a baby with rolls? I say wear the rolls while you can ~ because they won't always be flattering...just sayin'!

Tuckie @ 8mo ~ ATLANTA BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

2011-03-30T09:05:00.003-04:00

I love this family! They've held a special place in my heart ever since they invited me to document the birth of that precious bundle of love known as Tuckie! These images are from her 8 month old session - this time I was able to photograph the entire clan ~ what a treat!

Mary & Mark ~ ATLANTA ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

2011-03-28T09:43:00.007-04:00

I can't believe how far behind I am on blogging! This precious couple has already ggotten married & are now expecting a baby! I'll definitely show you more from their wedding soon - it was perfect! I absolutely adore this couple & had so much fun with them! Mary is also a photographer & had so many great ideas, like the chalkboard. Clever, just clever!

Friends

2011-02-20T21:25:00.005-05:00

What a great group of folks! These two families get together every year, rotating between their homes (GA & VA). I had the best time photographing the love they have for each other. My favorite image from the whole day is this last one...

Probably not the best image I've ever taken, the lighting was poor, it's grainy but can't you just feel the joy? Doesn't it bring back a memory you've had like this? Hanging out with your best friend, enjoying an adult beverage, your kids playing great with their kids?

Part II Fugate/Blumenfeld Wedding

2011-02-08T10:22:00.003-05:00

Onto Part II of this fabulous couple's wedding! This really was a perfect location a perfect wedding!

I love how Kevin is looking at Pamela in this image! I could have shown you 100's of the same adoring look - he was the perfect groom! Every girl should be so lucky!

Right?

Thanks Kevin & Pamela for inviting me to photograph this wonderful event & more importantly, thanks for making me feel so welcomed! I felt like an old family friend by the end of the weekend!!

Florida Keys Wedding

2011-02-04T23:38:00.014-05:00

WOWZER!! This is going to be a long blog post & a two-parter for that matter! I've got a lot to say about these fabulous folks!! You may remember them from my recent blog about their engagement... I really want to impress upon you one thing via this blog...this was an amazing wedding in an amazing venue...The Florida Keys!!

Doesn't she look gorgeous?

Kevin is such a kind & attentive parent! I loved watching him interact with his boys!

They opted for a first look! Love it!

Not too shabby of place to get married...right?

Pamela owns her own graphic design studio & is one out of control graphic designer! Seriously, if you are looking for someone to help you with your wedding designs...she's your woman!

Stay tune for part II of this fan-tab-u-lous weekend!!

Parker-Poo / ATLANTA BABY PHOTOGRAPHER

2011-01-28T17:59:00.006-05:00

All that hard work from the slide show in the previous blog post is evident in these images of our precious Parker!

Even Cam Newton couldn't compete with this boy!

As loved as he should be!

Parker - ATLANTA BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHER

2011-01-27T11:15:00.021-05:00

I'm pretty sure I've told you how much I LOVE doing birth photography! Truly, I do love it! I think it's such a gift for yourself, your partner and eventually that precious bundle of joy!!

I have to admit...this birth was just a little bit more special for me than the other births I've photographed...for many reasons! For starters, this was the birth of Parker, my newest nephew, a momentous occasion for our family! It also meant so much to be there with my sister as she completed this amazing feat! What an awesome experience to be with her and the roomful of other women who were there solely to support Jamie & Ben during this special time!

Here's a little slide show from this wonderful event!

Parker from Lindsey Lingenfelter on Vimeo.

Contact me if you are interested in having your birth photographed - you will be so glad that you did!!

Piedmot Park Engagement ~ ATLANTA ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

2011-01-17T12:12:00.004-05:00

This session was a favorite! It was also my 1st session after moving back to the big city. I really had fun with Pamela & Kevin, it was a great way to get to know each other before their wedding (more on that another post - but let me just say...fabulous!)

They both admitted to an iPhone addiction...Actually, I'd sit next to them if there was such a thing as a 12 step program for iPhones!

It's easy for me to forget, as I sit here in January, on the 5th day of school being canceled because of snow & ice, how incredibly hot it was that day! OMG! Bullets, we were sweating bullets! I'm not sure which extreme is best - cold, numb fingers as I type or bullets coming off of me?

The Porters

2011-01-16T08:58:00.001-05:00

It was hard to finish this session - it meant that I wouldn't be seeing this precious little girl every 4 months or so... Her year with me had ended. I tried my darndest to talk her parents into having another baby ASAP - but they couldn't be convinced...YET!

A nice thing about blogging 6+ months behind is getting the opportunity to go back and look at my work. It's nice to get a fresh perspective on the images I've taken! I always enjoy looking back!

Jones Farm

2011-01-15T08:33:00.002-05:00

Hot, humid July evening - not ideal conditions for a photo session...but somehow, it was the PERFECT session! These kids were awesome & really played along for me! The setting was great as well! They own a wholesale nursery and we had tons of great plants and bugs for the background (or foreground!)

The last image is one of my favorites!!

The Slays

2011-01-14T19:19:00.000-05:00

Love, love, love this family! The entire time I was photographing them I kept thinking..."this is exactly the kind of relationship I want to have with my kids when they are teenagers!" They could write parenting books! Best Selling Parenting Books!

The Penns

2011-01-14T14:51:00.006-05:00

Oh Lord...I am so far behind blogging...I am trying to decide if it's worth catching up or just go forward?? I'm gonna try to catch up - be patient! In this case I'm going to cheat a little...and show you a collage from this fabulous family!

This Mom is super creative & witty & created a fabulous Christmas card with some of my images. It really ROCKED!!

The Westmorelands

2010-11-08T20:20:00.013-05:00

I can't begin to even tell you how much I love this session, these images, & this family! My friend Fiona had been dreaming up this session for awhile...she's creative like that!! We hit up their favorite haunts, Charlie Joseph & Sugarmeyers. It's safe to say that at the end of this session their kids were hyped up on plenty of sugar!! What did I care? They weren't coming home with me....

Let me warn you ahead of time, there are a lot of images - but these only scratch the surface of the amazing images we made that day! Thanks for being my friends Westmorelands!!

James

2010-09-26T22:59:00.003-04:00

This sister of mine has run the entire gamut of photography in the past year! Engagement, wedding & now maternity...but isn't she beautiful pregnant? I loved this session because she was willing to try anything, even if it meant getting her car stuck in the mud in the middle of nowhere!

Three years old!!

2010-09-06T11:30:00.002-04:00

As usual this boy had a FANTASTIC birthday! His Mom & Dad always outdo themselves!! And as always I have the best time photographing the day! The theme to this year's party... "All Things Boy" Tractors, Dirt, Cake, Horses, BIG Trucks, Wagons, and lots of friends!!

I can't wait to see this little boy in November for his Mom's annual Christmas Card picture - again, guaranteed to be fun! Oh, and there will be more birth...days...coming up soon too!!! Can't wait!

new teeth

2010-09-03T17:15:00.003-04:00

What a fun session - well, for me, not so much for Mary Emma! The 1st day we met she was just beginning to break in some new teeth, never fun! Although, I still loved the images we captured that 1st day, we decided to give it another go and met for a 2nd time. She's such a beautiful little girl it was hard to make a bad picture - even with her new teeth coming in!

Tuckie

2010-08-20T23:36:00.003-04:00

Couldn't you just eat this baby up? I think if you look up the word "cute" in Websters Dictionary her picture might just be next to the definition! Seriously, I love photographing this family - amazing parents & awesome kids! Something I really think is wonderful about this family is that although they have four children - they have taken the time to make Tuckie's sessions specially about her - she doesn't have to share any of the spotlight in these sessions - it's all Tuckie - all the time!

Ty

2010-08-17T22:30:00.011-04:00

I can't even begin to tell you how honored I am when asked to photograph a birth - it is the most amazing experience! I have had the privilege to photograph three births this year and can honestly say all three births were completely different but yet completely unbelievable! I actually had my daughter's birth photographed and cannot say enough positive things about the experience and truly hope that the three mother's I've photographed would say the same thing! The images that were captured can never be replaced! Let me know if you'd like for me to photograph your baby's grand entrance into this world - it would be my pleasure!!

Without further ado I would like to introduce you to Ty!

Ice Cream

2010-08-08T11:07:00.001-04:00

Ice Cream from Lindsey Lingenfelter on Vimeo. Music by Sarah McLachlan

I Super-Duper love this video! I love it when I am able to capture relationships between family members in my images- I think this what we will remember the most - not how pretty we looked or how skinny we were - but the way Mom laughed or Dad scowled, the way someone read through a session or the way ice cream made a girl smile!

Mad Men

2010-08-06T09:02:00.001-04:00

I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this photo shoot with Olivia & David! I've said this before about Olivia - she is pretty much up for anything - which is why I love, love, love working with her!

I also love, love, love the AMC show "Mad Men". I'm so fascinated by this period piece show - not to mention that Don Draper is H.O.T.!!!

Mad Men is the inspiration behind these images - a spoof on a-day-in-the-life-of-a-mother. Because you know we all sit around with cocktails, pearls & precious, perfect children...right?

p.s. for the sake of transparency...Olivia was drinking grape juice...

The Holles

2010-08-04T10:43:00.000-04:00

I have enjoyed getting to know this family so much! It's awesome to see a family really enjoy each other & work together so well! They are raising amazing kids!

2 boys & a girl

2010-08-02T22:23:00.004-04:00

I'm really not sure if they get much cuter than these three! A sweet, precious little girl and two boys...and let me tell you what - they are all boys!! On our photo session we encountered (up close & personal) several lizards, a snake & numerous bugs!!

Destin & Michael

2010-06-15T10:08:00.001-04:00

What a wonderful maternity photo shoot! I adored working with these two! They were so excited about the impending birth of their Hazel!

Claybrooks

2010-06-13T21:14:00.004-04:00

This family was wonderful! Their Mom was not at home when I arrived, and although the Dad was a little flustered at first, having to handle two kids & a photographer he'd never met, he did an AWESOME job! I bragged & bragged to his wife when she arrived! Again, we had one of my favorite sessions - just laying around doing nothing - just being! Thanks JD for having me photograph your beautiful family!

Towns

2010-05-03T22:58:00.012-04:00

I've been so excited about showing the following video... Towns at about 12 months. I not only followed them around with a camera while he & his family played but, I also captured their interaction on video. It's an idea I've been toying with for a while now - combining media! I'll definitely be working with this idea more!!

Music by Amos Lee

Aidah

2010-05-01T00:17:00.003-04:00

I'm really not just saying this because the past two babies have this name - but one of my favorite names is Ada (or Aidah, Adah or even Aida!) I think it's a simple yet sweet, sweet name! Which fits these babies perfectly! This little Aidah is my dear friend Shanda's baby. They up & moved to Colorado so I have to fit in pictures whenever I can! She's a cutie!

Adah @ 6mos

2010-04-29T13:19:00.004-04:00

Ahhh...Adah!! I love this cutie-patootie! I also love her parents who are so creative & willing to do whatever I ask (as long as I do whatever they ask!) I always enjoy my couple of hours with them and feel that we consistantly make the cutest images! I can't wait to see what we come up with for her 12 month pictures...

Newborn Tuckie

2010-04-29T13:11:00.001-04:00

As you may remember I had the privilege of photographing this baby's 1st few moments here on Earth - what an experience! The privilege continued & I caught her newborn action a few days later. I think she was maybe eight days old in these pictures. I can't wait to watch her grow these next 12 months!!

Newborn Ella

2010-04-29T12:36:00.006-04:00

Sweet Ella! I've been fortunate enough to document her sister's 1st two years of life & am on track to do the same with this piece of sweetness!! Her cute-as-pie sister, Savannah, is handling her new baby sister really well and is eager to give up the photography spotlight! We will let her slide this time - but expect lots more of both these cuties in the future!

The Whitneys

2010-04-28T07:15:00.001-04:00

I was so impressed with this family! For Christmas, the adult children of this couple gave them a gift that will last for years & will be treasured more & more as it ages... They gave them a photography session with me - which in turn meant that the family spent a couple hours together, hanging out, enjoying each others company & making memories that can never be replaced!

I loved that EVERY member of this family was willing to do whatever I asked them to do for the sake of their images! Isn't this a great picture? Doesn't it show what a fun family they are?

Everyone was so cute - the kids were just precious!

Seriously, the love in the air was palpable!

Collier @ 1

2010-04-27T09:22:00.000-04:00

This was Collier's 1 year photo shoot - I cannot believe this boy is now one! Remember when he was a tiny little newborn? Born nearly 2 months early? I can!

Here's the good news though... his Mama & Daddy are giving me yet another chance to photograph their family... Baby #2 is on his/her way!! Can't wait!

On another note, see that cute lady at the top there? She's the star of one of my all time favorite photos!

Blanche & Frazier

2010-04-25T11:19:00.001-04:00

What an honor it was to photograph this special wedding! Not only were these two joining their lives together BUT they were joining the lives of their four boys! Poor Blanche, she is definitely outnumbered in her house now!

The wedding took place in the LaGrange College Chapel on a beautiful autumn day!

I love these next images. Their reception was held at a new restaurant downtown - the wedding & reception was suppose to be family only, but apparently there is NO stopping Blanche's friends...they surprised her at the restaurant to send them off with well wishes!

Lyders Family

2010-04-23T10:31:00.002-04:00

I visited this family under the auspices of photographing their baby but, she didn't want ANYTHING to do with me! She cried & cried the 1st hour I was there (you can see how red her face is in the 1st picture). Luckily, her older sister didn't mind having me around... However, we persevered & finally I was able to capture the baby's sweetness! I especially loved photographing the whole family (by whole I mean the cat too!)

Change is a comin'

2010-04-21T10:19:00.000-04:00

I photographed these three boys on two separate days - but all three had something in common...their worlds were about to completely change... both Mama's were pregnant with sisters...

I am so far behind with blogging that I am embarrassed to say that 5 months later - both Moms had their sweet baby girls & the worlds of these boys did not stop spinning...although I'm sure things are a little different these days!

My main man Anderson

2010-04-19T22:12:00.004-04:00

Can you believe this boy's Mama? Yes, she paid me to embarr-ass her sweet son! But, isn't he cute? I could just pinch those cheeks... the outfit is one that his dad actually wore... you know 30+ years ago...

I can't believe in a few weeks I'll photograph his 3 year old birthday party! His sweet Mama was one of my 1st clients - where does the time go?

Towns at 6 months

2010-02-23T20:22:00.000-05:00

This is one lucky boy! Not only are his parents ab-so-lute-ly crazy about him - but his grandparents, who only live a few houses away, feel the same way if not more! I love that picture of both grandmas kissing his kissable cheeks...I call that one "Dueling Grannys!"

Adah @ 3mo

2010-02-22T22:19:00.003-05:00

I have really enjoyed photographing this sweet little baby girl! Her parents are both so creative and are willing to do just about anything I suggest! It really is fun to see two people love a little baby as much as these two do! I'm so fortunate because I get to continue documenting their love grow!!

Julian at two

2010-02-21T22:08:00.003-05:00

I ran into this cute little boy & his Mama the other day at the grocery store & not only is he just as cute - but now he talks up a storm! I have had the best time photographing this precious boy!

*One of my favorite pictures from this session is the one where you see his Mom's hand reaching out to his sweet head. It gives me the sense of a mother's fierce protectiveness.

Families

2010-02-19T08:00:00.001-05:00

The end of the year always brings lots of families looking for the family shots which may or may not end up on a Christmas card. This always affords me the opportunity to hang out with some great folks & walk away with new friends!

Lennon

2010-02-18T19:50:00.000-05:00

Now tell me this isn't some sweetness...

Fen & Luna

2010-02-18T08:00:00.001-05:00

Honestly, I've never known a Mama who worked as hard to this Mama to get these two babies here! She spent a LOOOOONNNNGGGGG time in the hospital cooking these two to perfection!

Senior Photography

2010-02-17T21:14:00.001-05:00

It's so exciting photographing Seniors - the world is their oyster! I love hearing their plans, where they will go to college & what they want to be when they "grow-up." Here are a couple that I was able to photograph this past Autumn.

Lila @ 6mos

2010-02-17T08:00:00.001-05:00

I can't even begin to tell you how far behind I am...here's a prime example - I've taken Lila's 9month pictures & am about to do her 1 year session...ouch! I'll do my best to catch up!

We tried to photograph her in the mailbox, but I think she caught on & didn't really enjoy the experience...poor baby!

I ~Heart~ this family!!

2010-02-16T10:29:00.005-05:00

I could photograph this family all day long! It was my favorite kind of shoot...cute kids, great parents, no pressure, lots of laying around and chit-chatting!

If you'd like to have a no hassle, low pressure, spending quality time with your family, photo shoot give me a buzz, drop me a line - let's talk!

Jessica & James

I really had a great time at this wedding last fall - I'm sorry for just now blogging about this fun, fun wedding - I have a lot of catching up to do!

Jessica & James were great to photograph - they did everything perfectly! Both were super calm & collected and did not let any wedding woes worry them! I loved watching James watching Jessica throughout the day.

I love that this couple was up for anything...including climbing into the Varsity truck & serving their guests greasy (but yummy) hamburgers & hotdogs!

Here is another image I am crazy about! I love how he has his arm draped around his girl. One day this will be Jessica & James at a wedding, watching the bridal party dancing however they'll dance in the future.

James is a big outdoor enthusiast and at the beginning of the day he told me that there was going to be a full moon & he wanted to be sure and make some images with the moon. I can't tell you how worried I was about making photos in the complete dark with no flash...well, my 5D came through and gave us these fabulous images!

Thanks Jessica & James for letting me document your beautiful wedding!

I love this image for several reasons... but mostly because as a Mama - it breaks my heart - 2 moms watching their babies grow up before their very eyes in a 10 minute video that is suppose to give you the crux of the newly married couple's lives. If only that was true...

BANG!

2010-01-05T11:22:00.004-05:00

I can't think of a better way to end 2009 than photographing this precious baby's birth! While I didn't technically photograph her "birth" because she was delivered by cesarean, I did get to document the anticipation of her arrival, her 1st moments on earth & the excitement of her new brothers & sister. This sweet baby was a big girl - you'll see exactly why she was delivered via a c-section!

One of my favorite parts of this whole day is that her parents and family waited to find out if they were having a boy or a girl. The game plan was for her Dad to bring her out wearing the appropriate hat color so that her sister & brothers would know immediate...Girl or Boy...

I want to thank Kendra & Jay for giving me this fabulous opportunity & I can not wait to document the 1st year of your sweet baby's life! Welcome Tucker!!

I can't even begin to tell you how much fun I had on this engagement shoot! 1st of all I love this couple! Talk about fun people! And good looking! We started at their new home and then moved on to Meredith's family home. The light couldn't have been better that day!

These next shots might be the best part of the day...Meredith told me the history behind these benches - The 1st bench is extra long & it's for when you 1st start courting...no touching allowed...

This second bench is built just for two...

...and this third bench...only sits one...it's called the engagement bench...and is actually where Mitch proposed for Meredith - although I believe her reaction was a bit different than this one!

Can I tell you how much I love this picture? Truthfully, does it get any better than this? I don't think so!

Was I telling the truth or what? It was a hard decision for me - choosing which images to show! And in full disclosure...these two lovebirds are now officially wedded! They took the show on the road & married in Jamaica a few weeks ago! Congratulations & Best Wishes you two!!

Jennifer & Drew

2009-12-10T10:42:00.006-05:00

Jennifer & Drew - what a cute couple! Both are former students of my husband & Jennifer has been known to babysit for my kids a time or two. I really had a blast making these images with them! As I work on them this cold December morning I have a hard time remembering how darn hot it was that August afternoon! Congratulations you two!

Sorry I haven't blogged in nearly a month! Fortunately, it's because I have been super busy! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and will play blog-catch-up then! I have tons of cute images to share! For now I'm showing you one of my favorite families. Can you guess who they are?

I realize I'm waaay behind on my blogging...but in editing a wedding I recently photographed, I came across this image and LOVE IT!! I wanted to go ahead & share it!

Thanks for looking!

Danielle & Ryan

2009-10-23T22:40:00.001-04:00

What a wonderful wedding! Danielle was our babysitter for a while & Ryan, a religion major, took several classes from my husband - and more importantly is a Duke Divinity student - the Alma Mater of my husband... Another reason we enjoyed this wedding so is because it was a family affair for us...Alvin, my husband, played the Brides processional, my two children were the precious flower girl & adorable ring bearer, and yours truly photographed the event. Yes, you can get the same package deal - or you can hire just me!

Congratulations you two!!

Ryan & Danielle opted to see each other before the wedding, which gave us loads of time to make tons of great pictures!

like these...I absolutely love this picture! Ryan's groomsmen were up for anything & had gobs of great ideas!

Didn't I tell you the flower girl was cute??

Love, love, love these!!

I can't tell who is more excited in these following pictures...Danielle & Ryan because they are finally married....or Mom & Dad because the hard work is now over?!?!?

2009-10-04T23:30:00.003-04:00

I cannot believe that this child is old enough for me to do her senior portraits...I mean come on - wasn't it just yesterday that I met her as a 5th grader? Since when do 12 year olds get to graduate? Because, I know I'm not getting that old! Nonetheless...I had fun making these images with Ellie! Thanks for being so patient & willing! Good luck this year girlie!

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love these images! Olivia & JD rocked this session! Olivia is also a photographer & you can just tell she had her groove on!

Towns

2009-08-30T11:09:00.000-04:00

One of the things I love about my job is watching new parents with their new baby! I love seeing the love the parents have for their own little bundles of chunk! These two parents were definitely in love with their little Towns...numerous times, and I mean numerous times, his sweet mama would brightly exclaim..."isn't he the cutest?" "Don't I have the cutest baby EVER?" (which by the way is what all good mama's are suppose to say!!) I can't wait to watch this little fellow grow over the coming year! More to come...

**Let's get this Mama a picture of "the cutest baby ever" - leave me 15 comments & I'll do so!

I can't believe how behind on blogging that I am! It's nearly time for this sweet girls' 6 month installment of her baby plan! I love photographing this chunky-monkey - they don't get much cuter than this! I received more compliments on her last session regarding her image with the mailbox, remember it? The plan is to photograph her every session in the mailbox - won't that be a fun series?

I can't believe a year has come & gone with this little fellow! I've really enjoyed watching him grow from this to this! I've said this before, but it's true & worth repeating, but one of my favorite aspects of photography is getting to know the families of the folks I photograph! This family was no exception! I'll miss seeing them every 3 months!

I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed photographing this wedding! At the end of the day I felt like I'd married off my best friends! These two kids are so in love & man did it show! I seriously loved every image I took!

Can you guess which one was my favorite??

I love this family & they broke many hearts when they packed up and moved West to Colorado. We were so glad when they made a trip home & we got to spend some time together! As you can tell they are expecting a little brother or sister next month - I'm pullin' for a sister!

You know that I love folks who are up for anything...those people make the best images & I think are the happiest with the end results! These two kids were really up for anything, we drove all around our little county, pulling off the side of the road, hopping out to make an image, jumping back in their truck & looking for the next location. As a result...I love their images! Stay tuned for images of their precious little baby ____...

Let's face it - it's hard getting your picture taken - I admit it! But I am so proud of this lady!! She wanted to give her children & grandchildren a gift that will last a lifetime and then some! I've said this before - I think it's super important for our children to have pictures of us! Get in front of that camera & smile - your kids will cherish that picture in 20 years!!

Anderson at 2!!

2009-07-09T11:00:00.000-04:00

What a great idea!! Have a photographer at your birthday parties! It greatly frees up Mom & Dad from documenting the day - they get to enjoy the moment rather than watching it through the viewfinder. I had the best time at Anderson's birthday party! I was able to participate in the festivities & eat yummy birthday cake!

What a great family! It's hard enough to get all your kids together once they've upped & grown, but when you have FIVE it's even harder! So, when this Mom realized that she'd have all her babies under one roof she made an appointment with me! We had a great time & even though there were 20 folks of varying ages everything seemed to move smoothly.

I can't believe how fast this little boy is growing up! I had the best time photographing him this past time. One of my favorite people & undoubtedly one of his too, his grandmother, hung out with us the whole time! I can't wait to see him again in a few months for his 6 month session - although I get to see him nearly every Sunday...

**If 15 folks leave me some comment-love Collier's Mom will get a free 5x7!!

Michele & Adam

2009-05-18T14:35:00.000-04:00

What a cute, fun couple! I had the best time hanging out with them at their soon-to-be love nest! Adam is an amazing drummer & Michele is an uber talented artist! These kids are getting married in a couple of weeks & have asked Moi' to photograph their impending nuptials! I can't wait! I only accept a few weddings - they have to meet certain criteria...natural lighting, natural lighting & natural lighting - so that means the right time of day, the right location & the right couple - which these great kids fit, perfectly!

So, since you blog readers did so well with my last post & earned that sweet mama a free 5x7 - I'm going to continue the same idea with this couple...leave some love (15) in the comment section and they'll get a free 5x7...come on...don't be shy!
