Wade & Jennifer Engagement Shoot

This past Saturday, I met Wade and Jennifer at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, GA for their wedding shoot. Jennifer's sweet and ever adorable daughter, Hannah, also came along for the shoot. Wade and Jennifer met online while Jennifer admittedly was not looking for someone at that time. She blew him off initially, but Wade was persistent and Jennifer agreed to a date. They are getting married next month I can't wait to be a part of their day.

I told you Hannah is adorable and I wasn't lying. I love her curly hair.

We might have a budding photographer on our hands. Love this shot!

These two are just so into each other and it shows.

Such cuteness.....

I love the laughter felt in this next shot.

Thanks for a great shoot. Can't wait for the wedding!

Columbus, GA Wedding Photographer Derek + Erin | Married

Five years ago, after a get together with friends a young girl gave a hug to a cute young boy. Little did they know that that hug would turn into a friendship and eventually into love. Meet Derek and Erin. Erin just happens to be my niece by marriage and I was so honored to photograph their wedding this past Saturday in Manhattan, KS. Yes, it was a bit too cold for my liking, but I survived.

They were so easy and natural to photograph so it made my job a breeze. Love this next one.

The girls day began at Erin's parents house with hair and makeup.




The gorgeous dress...

I love the bouquet as well...

Derek and Erin agreed to a first look and here are some of the shots from that.

Erin with her bridesmaids (two of which are also my nieces).

Derek and his two groomsmen (his brother is on the right).



My husband was to walk her down the aisle, but we had we had a bit of a health scare while we were there and he was not feeling well. At the last minute, Erin's nephew (my great nephew) decided he was going to walk her down the aisle. He looked so handsome and he is only 4 years old. Yes, I am a proud aunt.






Husband and wife...

Here is the reception decor.


The beautiful cake.
Love this shot of Derek and Erin heading downstairs to the reception.

Here they are waiting to be announced at the reception.

The first dance was so sweet.
Love this shot of Erin throwing the bouquet.



And finally, time to dance and party.



Congrats you two on your marriage! So glad I could be a part of it.

Columbus, GA Maternity Photographer Will & Brooke | Expecting

Six months ago, you met these two cuties when I photographed their 5th wedding anniversary portraits. Will and Brooke are quite possibly the sweetest couple you will ever meet and make my job so incredibly easy. In our last session, they had just found out they were expecting and in just a few short weeks, their sweet daughter, Loralai will be born. I went to their house on Saturday to do their maternity shoot. Brooke is absolutely adorable pregnant and I had so much fun photographing her. I know they will be fantastic parents and I am so incredibly excited for them.

This is the very first ultrasound of baby Loralai. I saw this adorable frame it was in and had to have a picture of it.





How beautiful is she!

How cute are they?? Just love this one.

I loved these next two that I couldn't make up my mind which one I like the most so I decided to post both of them.

We headed back to the house to grab some shots of Loralai's room. I L-O-V-E what they did for her room.

These are the shoes and dress that they will be bringing Loralai home in. So cute!

Yes, they are big Auburn fans and when she showed me these shoes, we had to get a picture.

Congrats on your new arrival! Can't wait to meet her!!
