~ Jekyll Island, GA

One of the most beautiful and romantic locations in my mind is Jekyll Island, GA. With its moss filled live oaks and beautiful historic buildings, one cannot help but feel the pull of heart strings as you stroll through time. With only a handful of their closest friends and family in attendance, this was one of the most elegant and intimate affairs I have had the honor of being a part of. Blessings to you both.

Erin & Jeb

Williston, FL ~ The middle of a beautiful pecan field...

Was the setting for Erin and Jeb's fairy tale wedding. I can't say that the weather could have been more beautiful, the flowers more fragrant or the couple more in love! Weddings like this are rare and I was thrilled to have been a part of it. I was happy to be shooting alongside Jaime Smith and Stacey. Our very best to Erin and Jeb as they begin their new life together.

Richard, Jordan and Madison

Ok, so I know I am so behind on a few projects I have going on, but in case you haven't heard my excitement as of yet, I have been busy having our new computer installed at home- along with CS3 and Lightroom- so bear with me on some of the editing as it is a little bit of a challenge to learn them.

Tonight I took my neighbor and his children out for a shoot. Jordan and Madison were just great to hang out with and were busy, like all kids are, with everything around them- including (but certainly not limited to) anything creepy and crawly for Jordan and anything but the camera for Madison! What fun they were! I love it when kids are comfortable enough with me to just be themselves! And I have to always be thankful with beautiful natural lighting- You just can't go wrong with and we definetly had some really lovely lighting on the back of Ft. George Island and Hugenot Park just before the sun set. Hope you enjoy!

Jim & Annette

So I guess a little over a year ago, my dear friend of nearly 10 yrs now, (wow! Where does the time go?) calls to tell me that he has found the lady of his dreams and she said "YES!" I cannot tell you how excited I was to have been such a wonderful part of one of the most exciting days of their lives! The event could have been anywhere in the world and it would have been just as beautiful because of how much Jim and Annette adore each other. It is so apparent in every thing they do that they are just perfect for each other. And when I finally was able to meet Annette, I could not help but instantly fall in love with her myself! She is one of the sweetest and most endearing women I have ever met. Thanks so much to everyone for being such an awesome group of friends and family. And to my very dear friend Gwen, who had to listen to me ramble for the ENTIRE 8 hour drive to New Orleans, my undying gratitude for being such an awesome assistant and second shooter! More images to come I promise~ In the mean time, enjoy the rest of your honeymoon. (They took a train ride around the country with 2 day stays in each city they stopped in! Can you imagine?)

Congratulations Hugh!

One of the most awesome women I know, Kelly Pickens, has a son who will be graduating in just a couple of months. We set out yesterday on a last minute journey and quest to capture Hugh's smile! Although we only had an hour, I always enjoy spending time with Kelly and her family. Her children, though children, are among the most well behaved and best mannered I have met. These images are put up for Kelly and are not completly edited, so please excuse any techinical blemishes as we are on a very tight deadline. However, the most important thing is that Hugh will be graduating! We pray favor over him and his journey through life. May it be an awesome ride!
