Aaron and Oksana Ash Wedding | Sneak Peek

The Ash's wedding was so beautiful. It was my first international wedding you could say. The Ash's have been in my life for several years. The mother of the groom ( Aaron) is my daughter's mentor in school and my best friend is married to the groom's cousin. So I was thrilled when Mrs. Ash asked me to photograph her son's American wedding. The bride, Oksana, is from the Ukraine. Such a beautiful young lady inside and out. I must admit I was a little nervous but excited to push myself with my camera. I was very nervous all day though about the weather. The news had been saying it was going to be the heaviest rain of the week on Tuesday. The man upstairs must have been looking out after me because not one drop of rain in the areas I was photographing! We went to several different locations including Senoia and Peachtree City. Mr. Ash (the father of the groom) was great example of how to keep an eye out for different locations. He managed to score a beautiful porch that we could use. The sweet man who lived there was more than obliged to let us photograph at his house. Was in love with his porch. The best part is that the groom's father is a professional photographer and he gave me great advice throughout the day! Thank you to Ash Family for giving me this amazing learning opportunity.

Alice and Wonderland Theme Birthday Party | Layson Sneak Peek

I had the best time this past Saturday with my childhood friend Nikki, her family and her friends! I was so excited to finally get to photograph a session that was different from all the others! She told me she was having a birthday party and the theme was Disney's Alice and Wonderland. I was beyond excited! I love the uniqueness of this story, it's characters and most of all the color scheme. I was happy that I was also able to refer a friend of mine about creating a unique style cupcake. Custom Cakes by Charlotte and Allison did an amazing job on her cupcakes! They were delicious!

With this session I really wanted to get outside of the norm for photography. Every photo I took I knew what type of coloring I wanted and that alone made it so much fun. My creativity was booming out of my head! Nikki's mother's property was a photographers dreamland. I was so in love with the canvas I had to work with. I hope in the near future I can use the property again to create more magical photos!

One of the best parts of my job is getting to meet awesome people at every session. I had the pleasure of meeting some of the most important people in Nikki's life! They welcomed me like they had known me for years! Great atmosphere, great people and amazing food. The evening was full of laughter, jokes and smiles!

While this was my very first experience with Alice and Wonderland, ( I have never seen the movie. Yes I know I was told I needed to. Maybe I will get to see it soon) I had an amazing time I was there. It was so nice to get out and be around adults considering I am a mom of a child with special needs and brain cancer. It was nice to feel "Normal" as they say for a few hours. Thank you to all there who made me feel comfortable and treated me so kindly!

Gina Robertson | Maternity Session| Sneak Peek

I love it when my friends come to me and want me to photograph special moments in their life. Whether it be a maternity, engagement or family session, I am always thrilled to see what magic I can work with my camera. So I was beyond thrilled when my sweet friend Gina wanted me to do her maternity photos. This is Gina's first girl after having two sons. I decided I wanted to give Gina a full makeover. So we did her hair, makeup and I put her in one of my favorite dresses! She looked amazing!

Gina did a great job! It was so hot and humid that day and she kept up with me like a trooper.  I can't wait to meet Miss Lucy in a few weeks!
