Rebekah's Bridal

So along with these amazing photos of Rebekah, I wanted to share something that we will be doing on the blog next week.  Steve and I have been so blessed by this business AND our clients.  We have made so many memories that will stay with us for the rest of our lives.  We want to share some of those with you and also help everyone get to know us a little better.  We want this blog to be about our lives and our business.  We will have a new post everyday next week that will hopefully allow all of you to get to know us a little better.  So today I wanted to share something that has been very very special to me.

I knew when I started shooting weddings that I was going to get to be apart of a VERY VERY intimate day for my clients.  This is a huge moment for all of them, and I see them sometimes more than anyone else.  I get to spend time with their family and friends and get to know them in a very unique way.  I had a very special experience with this beautiful girl and her family and I will never forget it.  I got to spend a good amount of time with Bekah.  Their engagement shoot was so much fun, and her bridal portraits we incredible.  She has a very special relationship with her family, especially her sisters.  The day of her wedding I felt like I was one of them.  I know it sounds crazy, but I spent almost 12 hours with three of the most beautiful, loving women.  I was there when the cried together, laughed, and gave each other the last look before she walked down the aisle.  At the end of the night I hugged all them and told them how blessed I felt to be apart of that day.  I left feeling so incredibly happy for all them, they gained a new member to the family, and have memories to last a lifetime.  They let me into their lives that day, to share and help capture it so they can remember it always.  I don't know another job that is so intimate and personal.  I cried and laughed with all of them that day, I really am so blessed.  Thank you so much Thomas family for allowing Steve and I to be there and have these memories to cherish for ourselves as well!! :)

p.s. I can't wait to share the photos from the wedding day :)

I can't believe that she is already 6 months old! I am so blessed that I get to see this cutie every three months.  She gets cuter every time I see her and each time she smiles more and more.  It was a perfect day for pictures, and Madelyn loved being outside!! Hope you guys love the preview! There are lots more smiles to come :)

Steven and Amy's forever...



Thank you so much for being patient with me this past week, just one of those weeks that everything seemed to go wrong.  I am so happy to share these photos.  Steve and I had so much fun spending the day with Steven, Amy and their wedding party.  Everything that day was so laid back, and it really was just a fun day.  It was pretty chilly out, but these photos are all so warm, there was a lot of love :)

When Kristin contacted me about doing these photos, I was so excited.  She loves to hunt and hopes one day to make it her proffesion! I come from a family of hunters so I was excited to go to the woods and find some inspiration! I hope you love the photos, I had a great time, thanks for allowing me to find some new inspiration :)

Savannah Style

I am so excited to share these photos! When I found out that we were going to get to style and shoot in Savannah I was over the moon.  Savannah is beyond amazing, it is a dream city! While we were planning for this shoot, I kept thinking that I wanted to capture the city in the style of the photos.  Savannah is old and beautiful.  It has a unique charm unlike anywhere I have ever been.  There is also a quirky side to Savannah that I just love.  I think we captured Savannah's southern charm and its unique atmosphere.  The team that we worked with was incredible and I have to thank some very special people.  First of all the ladies at Bleubelle Bridal.  Courtney and all of the ladies are SO sweet and so helpful.  Even if you are not in Savannah, the drive to get your dress from them would be totally worth it.  They are so incredible to work with and have amazing taste with their dress selection, I loved just being in the store to look.  Our flowers were done by Anissa at Urban Poppy.  Wow.  I love her and her style.  She is one of the sweetest people I have ever worked with.  I had a very specific idea of what I wanted the flowers to look like, but I had no idea how to explain it.  Anissa knew what I wanted, without me being able to communicate it, and they turned out perfect.  She is so creative and I hope I get to work lots more with her.  She even let us use the birdcage veil that Ali wears in the shoot, she made it for her own wedding. I loved it.  Our incredible models for the shoot were Stephen and Ali Ross.  Not only are they gorgeous, but super sweet and fun.  They got lots of congratulations and crazy looks, but I think they had a good time! And last but not least I have to thank our best friends Austin and Mallory Milster.  They sacrificed lots of time to help over the weekend and we could not have had better assistants for the shoot.  We are truly grateful to you guys and we love you lots. My husband is my rock and working with him on this project was nothing short of amazing.  He suprises me daily, and his creativity and passion drives me.  I am a lucky girl.  So sorry for the rambling, I am really proud of these photos and the team we worked with.  Please let us know what you think!!! :) :) :)
