Sydney Kate 9 days new-

This little Diva is as precious as they come! I spent the early hours of my New Year's Eve with this darling little bundle from heaven. She was 9 days old when we did the shoot. You may remember her super good lookin' parents from the maternity session we did. If you didn't catch that- you can view it here. I am so fortunate to have such beautiful clients! Brittany and Speedy, you have a very beautiful daughter and I am so proud of you both. Thank you for allowing me to photograph your sweet little blessing.

 One thing is for sure...a woman can NEVER have too many shoes!!! Sydney's parents are making sure she isn't lacking in that department from the start! I love these next few shots!

Baby Baylor.....5 days old

This little man was 5 days old when we did this shoot. He was wide awake practically the entire time so we had a challenge getting him to do the things we wanted him to do! He was not about to get all snuggled up and allow us to bend and move him about however we pleased. He had other things in mind! I do think, though, that this session turned out pretty sweet afterall. Thank you Kalyn and Chris for giving me the special honor of photographing your son....at 5 days old. He is a precious gift from God. Congratulations on your precious pearl from heaven.

Austin and Heather: Nothing could be finer than to Wed in Carolina!

I'm so excited to finally post a sneak peek and slideshow from this incredible wedding! I snapped over 2000 photos for this occasion and now I can share some of them with everyone! You may remember from a couple of posts ago, Heather's bridal photos. She was definitely one beautiful bride. She and Austin were married at Grace United Methodist Church on Georgia Avenue in North Augusta, South Carolina on June 25. It was a beautiful ceremony followed by a very fun police escort down Georgia Avenue on a parade of golf carts which carried the wedding party just a couple of blocks to the newly constructed and elegantly designed art deco styled Municipal Center. There, they joined all of their guests on the Palmetto Terrace overlooking downtown Augusta. Their live band, The Palmetto Groove Party Band, was on time and delivered an awesome compilation of hits from today and yesteryear. I had a blast just photographing this wedding! I enjoyed going through all of the photos to come up with this blog posting and I pray that they will help you, Austin and Heather, to relive this special time. Thank you for having me to be a part of your wedding day! Please be sure to check out the slide show at the end of this post.  In these first photos we'll start with Heather getting ready. Her makeup was done by the lovely and talented Meredith of La Dolce Vita Salon. She works MAGIC with her airbrush techniques!
