Cameron is Four Months! | Atlanta Portrait Photography

After doing his newborn session a few months ago, now at four months old, Cameron looks like a real Big Boy already :)

He is a very sweet and smiley boy...


He was just starting to roll over (with a little help)...


I love these two tender mom dad moments.



Peek-a-boo!


How cute are big sister and her little brother together!


This is only the second session of my Footprints package... two more sessions ahead to document Cameron's first year milestones!

I can't wait for the next session in just a few weeks.

Cydney Turned Two! | Atlanta Event Photography

Wow, I can't believed I did not get to blog this fabulous event! This year has been so busy that I can barely keep up with the blog. Thanks for being patient and checking in every once in a while.

I am committed to making up for slacking so badly and will post several sessions back to back for the next few days!

I realize I have been posting a lot of weddings... so here is some event and portrait photography coming up.

First, Cydney's Second Birthday. A fabulous event designed and coordinated by the fantastic Michelle Gainey of Lemiga Events. The theme was "Sesame Street" and the decor incorporated primary colors and the show's characters.

As you all well know I am not good with words, so I'll go straight to the goodies :)

First we went to the park for a small portrait session with Cydney.


So how cute is she!






Then some of the fantastic elements of the party...

I loved these amazing invitations by Luxe Expressions


And the wonderful gifts that each kid received...


How cool are these centerpieces. And check out the custom runner by I Do Linens.


The candy buffet by Peachtree Treats and sweet stuff framed by Ballonacy decor.





Cute little lunch bags for each kid incorporating custom tags with Cydney's own monogram.


And the yummy cake and cup cakes by Sugarplum Visions.




Then there was the fun time... starting with some face painting...



And some group games.


Followed by the surprise appearance of Elmo and Big Bird!


We were not quite sure how Cydney was going to react to these giant characters...
But as you can see, she was a cuddly monster herself :)


Thanks Michelle for another fantastic event!

Katie & Steve | Ritz Carlton Lodge Wedding Photography

This could be the sappiest blog post ever... but I'll refrain myself. It is just that Steve and Katie are so much in love and their families and friends were so supportive and loving that no matter what or where they had gotten married, it would have been ridiculously fabulous.

It feels always like such a blessing to be witness to such a time in my client's lives.

But enough blurb... we all know that is not my strong suit :)

And let's see some of their images.

Just one shot of the rehearsal dinner which took place at The Landing at Reynolds Plantation. Beautiful setting, don't you think?


The reception and ceremony took place at The Ritz-Carlton Lodge at Reynolds Plantation. The girls got ready in one of the suites.


The guys were getting ready on a suite on the opposite side of the building.
I love how they are all trying to figure out how to tie their bow-ties.


Katie & Steve decided to meet before the ceremony. This was the most emotional and intimate moment ever. They were both so excited, happy and anxious to see each other.


Steve gave Katie a card and they stopped and read it right there, together... with tears in their eyes (and mine).



Then we took some photos of just the two of them...





Right before the ceremony Katie got her veil on...


The ceremony was by the lake, on the lawn of the Lodge.



Here is a view of the reception...


Their first dance was part romantic...


... and part fun.


Nothing like the precision with which service comes out.


And they had Moxie as their band for lots of entertainment.


Later in the evening they gave away sunglasses for the party crowd.



I love sparklers!


Such a neat exit :)


Thanks Katie & Steve for letting us be a part of this time in your lives.
I loved working with you, your families and friends and look forward to seeing more of you soon.

Victoria & Steve | A Peachtree Club Wedding

On a gorgeous late summer day, Victoria & Steve started their new life together as husband and wife. What an honor it was to be a part of it and witness the love, emotion and fun that everyone experienced.

Their ceremony and reception, both took place at the magnificent The Peachtree Club. Their new terrace is truly magical and we loved working there.

And as you all well know, I am not that good with words, so let me just show you some images...

Victoria and some finishing touches in the bridal suite.


Gorgeous bride!


Handsome groom.


And an uber-cute flower girl...


And an adorable rring bearer.


A privileged in-town spot, don't you think?


And check out the fabulous hanging chandelier by Le Jardin Francais!


I love this moment right after the ceremony.


And their first dance, twirling around as the buildings in midtown start lighting up...


How cute are they!


This was the fantastic candy buffet by Peachy Treats.


I love this view from the terrace and how the town reflects onto itself on the glass buildings...


And an a beautiful exit too.


Thanks Victoria & Steve for having be part of such a memorable day in your lives. I love being a wedding photographer and sharing such special moments in our clients lives!

Also, a very special thanks to the wonderful Wendy Collins at The Peachtree Club. I love working with you!
