Happy 2nd Birthday, Spencer!

I have so many fun shoots to post in the next few days. The holidays were pretty busy for me, but I did manage to squeeze in some time for a wedding in Anniston, Alabama (photos below) an entire days worth of photos at the Zelo Sport Finger Football Tournament at Peachtree Mall (my brother came in 3rd place!) & our College & Career Tacky Christmas Party which was a huge hit. Not to mention January is filling up quickly! So be on the lookout for new photos!

On December 13th I made the almost 3 hour trip from Columbus up to Anniston, Alabama to meet Carrie Jo (Who is fabulous, I might add!) to second shoot my first wedding. The drive was gorgeous, but by the time I arrived at the venue I can't say I wasn't nervous, but CJ is a total rockstar & she made me feel comfortable instantly. We had a total blast shooting everything from the gorgeous wedding details to the entire family of the bride doing the grapevine at the reception. Here are a few of my favorites (still haven't made it through half of the photos taken).

WORKIN' IT

When our friends J&L called a few weeks ago & asked if I could watch their little girl, Gabi for a few hours - I knew this was the opportunity I had been waiting for in order to surprise them with some photos of their sweet 8 month old little girl for Christmas. Gabi was a total ham & a blast to shoot. She is the sweetest baby, J&L I know you haven't seen some of these, so enjoy!

The weather lately has been nice. It does not feel like Christmas is only 6 days away, by any means - but its always nice to do a shoot in 60 degree weather compared to working it out in the 30's. Sunday we had perfect weather for a family shoot, in the mid 50's, slightly overcast & not a tad bit windy. The Stenslie's were my last shoot in 2008 & we had a total blast trekking around my parents property. I do have to dote on them for a second though because they have the most well behaved children I have ever seen. Thanks for being so wonderful!!

Without further ado, meet the Stenslie family, Joel, Kathy, Noah, Jonas & Siri.

Teaser. :)

To tide you over, some photos I never posted from Bonnie & Michael's shoot. :)

New posts coming soon! I've been swamped!

Be on the lookout!

Katherine goes with me on almost every single shoot I do. She is my psuedo assitant. She has picked flowers for crying babies when there aren't any flowers in site, she has held doggie treats for hours on end. In the below photo I said "Hey Rita, sit here for a second!" and this is what happens.

She makes me sick. lol.

The new blog has finally launched. We're still trying to work the kinks out so bare with us.

Here is a photo, seeing as this is a photo blog...

Meet, my family! This is going to be our family Christmas card photo. Seeing that I only took 5 photos all together, this one didn't turn out too bad. I have decided that next year, someone else is taking the family photo. They are all lucky I didn't strangle them! :)

Swamped!

I am absolutely underwater at work today, but I wanted to post a few photos for JP & Tigger from their shoot on Saturday! More to come later!!!

ps - jennings - you have the best smile ever!!!
