It's hard to believe that this little cutie is already a year old! I met up with one of my favorite families to document the big celebration! Cousins: built-in best friends! Grayson didn't have much to do with his cake...until his mom picked him up and started to move it away! Then it was full face plants! Dancing with the big kids :) Smooching with Grandmother! Every little brother's right of passage: overkill of squishes by his big sisters! Happy birthday, sweet boy! And congratulations to his awesome parents for creating such a caring, fun, well-rounded family :)

A southern chic wedding for the books! Dustin and Chelsey had the most charming wedding at Price Mountain Farm and we were lucky enough to be a small part of it. As my assistant, Sarah, put it, these are the two most photogenic people. Ever! You'll see what I mean below, and keep in mind that very few of these photos are posed! Chelsey's Aunt made the sash to highlight Chelsey's beautiful dress Dustin was hard at work writing the letter to Chelsey to be read on their first anniversary Finally, it was time for these two to get their first looks at each other! Although the weather didn't fully cooperate for the outdoor wedding by the tree this couple had envisioned, we were able to sneak out there for some great photos! One of my favorites moments of any wedding is the new couple walking back up the aisle. The first few minutes that they have together as husband and wife are so sweet! Then it was time to party!! Congratulations Dustin and Chelsey! I see a fun, caring, and adventurous partnership between you and wish you guys all the best!
A Great Gatsby themed party?! I am SO there! Robert and Ricardo celebrated their engagement in style! Everything about this party was fabulous - from the decorations, to the food, to the friends and family of these two great guys. See for yourself! The wonderful food from Karen Walkup of Finishing Touches Catering was as delicious as it looked, and the personalized wall projection and 20s car really set the tone for this decadent celebration. Robert's beautiful mother hosted a great party and totally rocked that look! I'll leave you with my favorite photo of the night. That sweet, natural look of happiness can't be posed! Congratulations Robert and Ricardo! I wish you all the best!
...And if you think you'd like a photographer with you in Hawaii, I think I could be persuaded :) {Guests of the party, the full gallery can be viewed here.} I had so much fun with this couple's engagement photos last fall that I was really looking forward to their summer wedding at Little Gardens in Lawrenceville. Although the weather threw us a curveball, the whole day was perfectly "them". Enjoy the new Mr. & Mrs. King! A locket from Shelby's new sister-in-law with photos of each of their parents' weddings. Love the tear in her eye after seeing herself in the dress. Proud and excited mama! I knew to expect some Star Wars, but this was pretty darn cool! I ADORE the way the light wraps around her in this photo. SUCH a gorgeous dress! Josh anxiously awaiting his first glimpse of the bride. Thanks to my assistant, Madison, for catching the first-look spies red-handed! Rain, rain, go away... It only sprinkled a little during the ceremony and someone just happened to have an umbrella in their car that matched perfectly with the wedding colors! Shelby's dad is keeping a close watch in the corner :) The reception would not have been complete without a lightsaber battle with a miniature Darth Vader! Josh and Shelby are a fun loving couple so excited to start their lives together, and I was lucky enough to be there for the first step! Congratulations and best wishes you two!!
I've had the pleasure of photographing Wylie for a whole year! I'm so grateful for the lifelong relationship I've held with his mom and Grandparents. Wylie's grandmother (BB) and my mom grew up together and so her daughter, Jessie, and I had many playdates as kids while our moms gossiped and laughed. Now the third generation gets to do the same as Jessie and I exchange stories of our little ones :) Here's a little reminder of Wylie's first shoot Here he is at 6 months Getting mobile at 9 months Now it's time for the cake-smashing 1st birthday party! Jessie worked hard on this Cute As A Button bash..she's so creative! Wylie was not interested in props today! He is a busy little boy on the move! But that didn't stop the party guests from stealing some Wylie love! Not that joke again Dad! My girls had a great time too! Do they look like sisters or what?!? Even willing to share! That's the face of a mom head-over-heels for her baby (with icing on her nose!) Thanks again, Grammie, Jeff, Debbie, Jessie, Josh, Wylie, and everyone else for letting me be a part of this sweet day!
