This delightful gal is Jenny.  Not only is she blindingly pretty, but she is just about the sweetest person you will meet.  In addition to that, she totally understands the importance of grey Chucks.  Whoop!  Also, she’s lucky I didn’t steal her shirt with the yellow bow.  Seriously.  What a fun shoot, and I’m so glad I got to meet this fabulous lady.

At the end of our shoot…..a few just for fun.  Yippee!

Wow, I have known the fabulous Sylvester family for 14 years now.  One of my absolute favorite times of the year is when we get together for our annual photo shoot.  Every time is completely different, and guaranteed to be fun and awesome.  They’re creative, beautiful, silly, and love each other a lot.  Do you see why I’m crazy about this family?  So, here’s our 2011 edition.  They rocked it out as usual.  Already looking forward to 2012!

Years ago, when I used to be employed by a biomedical company, I worked with a wonderful lady named Carol.  As I began to grow my photography business, she was one of my most supportive cheerleaders.  Once I left to pursue my photo biz full-time, I knew she’d be one of the people I’d miss most.  She used to say, “When my daughter gets married, I want you to shoot her wedding”.  Well, I couldn’t be happier that not only has that time come, but they STILL want me to be their photographer.  Yay!  I’m so thrilled to be on board, and to have spent some time with Rachel and Greg, who are simply the loveliest couple.  Greg coaches high school basketball, so we got to start their photo time in the gym shooting some hoops.  Then we hit some of the cute spots around Suwanee.  Rachel and Greg are really sweet, adorable, and it’s so cool how they crack each other up.  I seriously, can not WAIT to shoot their wedding next year!!!

I would like to take this blogging opportunity to totally brag some more about Angela and Chris, and how utterly fantastic they are.  These two are sweet, hilarious, gorgeous, smart, and romantic.  Basically, working with them is like winning the photography lottery.  We had such a super-duper “day after” shoot, hitting some favorite spots around Atlanta.  Just a warning to all of you, I will now expect all shoots to end with giggles, hot wings, and bourbon at Manuel’s.  Yes?  Ok!  Chris and Angela, what else can I say other than it’s been a joy capturing your wonderful moments, but it’s been even better getting to know you.

Um, this print has just been added to my wish list.

Can’t wait to have the full post ready.  In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek at my Day After shoot with Chris and Angela.  They’re the coolest.

I’ve gotta give a big ol’ thanks to the talented and lovely Miss Jas Sams for giving me a nod in the article she wrote for Hello Atlanta about actors getting headshots.  To read her cool and helpful article, click HERE.  Also, check out her super-fun, wonderfully-written blog, Smile Big and Pretty.  Yay!  Since I don’t like to post without photos……I just happen to have a few I’ve taken of Jas.  Brains and beauty!

Ready……set……cuteness!!!  Oh my goodness.  Little Charlotte has arrived, and she is just perfect.  Such a lovely bundle of tiny, adorable sweetness.  It was wonderful to see Dave and Melissa again, who are obviously proud and happy new parents.  This gal is sure to have a life full of fun and love.  Congratulations, Linvilles!
