Bowens Family {Starrs Mill}

Fresh air, blue skies, flowing water, towering pines, children laughing, parents smiling, warm embraces, precious faces, white porch, red door, loving family to the core, blue jeans, down-to-earth, cowboy boots- no doubt, one of my favorite shoots!  ♥

Baby Makes...Five! {Lisa and Dave}

     Lisa and I met a little more than twelve years ago when we taught preschool in neighboring classrooms in Athens, Georgia.  It didn't take long to realize that we had a great deal in common and we became fast friends.  She and Dave were dating seriously at the time.  Here we are all of these years later and they are expecting baby number three!  It has been such a joy to see them get married, welcome their first child, Nicholas, and also little sister (soon to be big sister), Marisa.  As with their first two, this baby's sex will be revealed when he or she arrives.  While we anxiously wait to find out if this little one will wear pink or blue, it is clear that this baby will be loved more than he or she will ever know!  

My Funny Valentine {Photo Booth}

     For Valentine's this year, I wanted to take some really fun pictures of my kids and have a session that they would really enjoy. It seems lately, when I ask to take their pictures, one can hear eyes rolling from a mile away.  Oh, the lot of being of photographer's child!
     I became a mama on a mission.  I set up a little photo booth in my home office.  With a few props, minimal direction from me and some of their favorite music blasting in the background, we had what turned into a photo session/dance party.  They had so much fun (as did I)!  Even better, I came away with some images that reflect their little personalities now, at ages four and nine, which to me, is the best gift a mama can receive. :)
