Kris and Lindsay are back and looking GREAT! After sessions are THE BEST! No stress of the wedding day, plus you can pretty much do whatever you want in the dress! Before Lindsay and Kris even got married, she asked me if they can do an After Session with their dogs. This was my first time shooting with animals. It was interesting to say the least, but we had fun! Here are some fun shots of Kris, Lindsay, and their babies!
Ok, so I am taking a little breather to give you a taste of what I’ve been up to the past couple of weeks!

Time sure does fly when you are having fun. And that is how I would sum up the last five years…FUN! Yes, we’ve had hard times, but God has blessed us with many more good times! To celebrate our 5th anniversary we took a cruise to The Bahamas. If you have never been on a cruise, I completely recommend it. It was so relaxing and so much fun. Honestly, I came home spoiled and ready to hop on the next cruise ship available. However, I’m back in the “real” world and ready to have fun doing this summer’s weddings and many family sessions. But first I wanted to share some fun pictures from our trip.
Our Cruise ship: Carnival Fascination
We went to the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island where we had the amazing opportunity to swim with the dolphins. I caught the dolphin as she was jumping up to entertain us! I say it’s my post card picture!
All dressed up for the cruises formal dinner night! And thank you to our new friends, Ashley and Jason, whom we met on the ship and were so kind to take all of the pictures that have both me and my hubby Jason in them!
While we were in Freeport, Bahamas we visited Lucaya Beach and took anniversary pictures together! Yes, this is my original wedding dress! We had so much fun doing pictures. The first picture of myself is my FAV!! Thanks again to Ashley for taking the pictures of Jason and I!
Our last Cruise sunset…at least until our next trip!!
The Grand Bahamas
In February, I had the pleasure of meeting back up with Simon and Heather for an after session. Their wedding day was very wet, so we decided to meet a couple weeks later at Stone Mountain Park to do some fun pictures. Funny thing was there was no rain, but there was 1-2 inches of snow on the ground and it was freezing!!! Despite the cold, we had a blast. Here are a few from that session.

2009 has come and gone, but not without leaving some great memories to carry along with me. It was a very busy year with a lot of new experiences. I wanted to post a few pictures of what 2009 brought to the table, but it was so hard to narrow down to just a few. So here is my MEGA blog of the year and even still there are so many more I would love to post. Here are some of my personal favorites captured in 2009. Hope you enjoy! And don’t be afraid to leave some feedback at the end of this entry!
2009 was great and I am looking forward to an amazing 2010!!!
Jon and Margaret-Ann had a very eventful wedding day. They got married about a year ago in Atlanta, on the day of all the tornados. As you can imagine, the weather was NOT picture perfect. The two of them told me story after story about different things that happened to them on their wedding day. Pictures on the other hand did not happen. At least not as many as they would have liked. Margaret-Ann found out about us through a co-worker, and decided that they would like to recapture what they missed on their wedding day by doing an “After Session.” We started off at Toccoa Falls where Margaret-Ann went to college and ventured to several different locations in the area. Congratulations on making it 1 year. May God bless you both with many more!
Many have asked me what does a “Trash the Dress” session mean. Well I am going to give you the definition that I found on Google. “Trash the dress refers to photography that contrasts elegant clothing with an environment in which it is out of place.” So pretty much NOT your traditional bridal portraits! Before Courtney and Brad’s wedding back in September, I asked Courtney if she wanted to do a Bridal session before the wedding. She said no, but she would rather do some “Trash the Dress” (TTD) pictures after the wedding. Yay!!! I was so excited and couldn’t wait to do this session with the two of them. We visited several areas in the Stephens county area including Panther Creek, Toccoa Airport, Henderson Falls park, and Toccoa Falls. We had an absolute blast during this session. Thank you Brad and Courtney for such a fun session!
Courtney was a bride that I have been dreaming about! One that would be willing to get into water with her wedding dress on! If it were summer I am sure we would have done a lot more and probably gotten even more wet. However, it was the beginning of November and the water was FREEZING!!! Way to go Courtney!!

Ben and Danielle had a beautiful wedding held at Toccoa Falls, GA in front of the waterfall. We were lucky enough to be able to meet up Ben and Danielle after their grand exit for an “After Session.”
On the day of their wedding, Mark was terribly sick. Thankfully he was able to make it through the wedding ceremony, however, I was not able to do a “mini after-session” with them on the day of the wedding. Luckily we were able to arrange a day later that week to do a full fledged after session. We traveled all throughout Toccoa, GA, Toccoa Falls, GA and the surrounding area in attempt to capture exquisite wedding memories.
Wow you have been super busy!! I love those of us you posted! and the baby pics are adorable!!!
