All of the couples that I have had the privilege to photograph on their special day this year have been so full of life & love! This couple was no exception,,,, These two (along with their bridal party) were ready, willing, & able to do anything. I love how much energy this group had! The laughter was nonstop-from the moment I walked into the brides room carrying Starbucks for her until the end of the night. Another bit of excitement was doing their 1st look photos! Brandon's reaction coupled with Caitlin's enthusiasm was perfection at its finest. From a photographers point of view, I wish more bride/grooms would opt for this... 1st looks are incredibly intimate & sweet, they give couples a few moments to just relax & give each other those reassuring looks. few more pre-ceremony

Here are a few photos from the absolutely beautiful engagement session I did 2 weekend ago out in the Watercolor/Seaside area These two were such a sweet couple to work with! I knew Heather in high school & I was honored as well as super excited to photograph their engagement photos! AWE!!! I just can't get over for beautiful this session was! & after I had them practice their first dance for a few minutes ;) we headed to the beach Well....Heather & I thought it was a fun idea to get in the water Josh eventually warmed up to the idea :) I promise he wasn't really this mad lol (good thing he had a change of clothes) Congratulations Heather & Josh!
Awe!!!! Babies...they grow up soooo fast!!! My little one just turned 1! Here are a few photos of her The props in these photos are available for anyone that would also like to add them to their shoot. I decided to save them, as well as the polka dots in Chance's cake smash. Polka dots are available in multiple colors & sizes. I just need to know what colors you prefer so that I can have them ready. This stunning tutu was made by my dear friend, Ashley Throneberry! & her Pinwheel Bow was made by her Aunt Michelle Calhoon! Thank you ladies! oh & i cant forget about her onesie! Thank you Bonita Lawhon! Well.....even though its been pretty quiet on the website, I have been very busy behind the camera with multiple cake smashes, and a few family sessions, And let me tell you these cake smashes were adorable.... here are just a few of the ones I've done in the last month & little Ms Ema loved eating the frosting! My next 1st Birthday session was with handsome Mr. Dawson! Here's one more cake smash..... Mr Chance :) who will be turning 1 tomorrow! Happy Birthday!
...okay NOT really. I'm not ready. :) Its amazing how God designed us. I honestly can't believe how much a baby grows in the first year of life! Here's a few of our little munchkin I just want to cry when I compare photos!!!!!!!!!! Everyone warns you they grow fast but seeing is definitely believing in this case photo credit for the one on the left (newborn photo) Kaylie B. Poplin This kiddo of ours is seriously a ham! I break out the phone & she's all about looking & smiling...I break out the camera & she looks every way but at me! :) I just chalk it up to good practice! For those of you, that DON'T live in the South this winter storm was a big deal for us! lol We had "snow" & ice, our cars were frozen shut & every bridge--small, medium, and large--were all closed. (where I live there are about 8 bridges within a 20mile radius) You name it...it was FROZEN! I recently saw some photos of frozen bubbles from a fellow photog that lived up North & desperately wished it would get cold enough so I could attempt it....I got my wish. Unfortunately, it really didn't get cold enough for the bubbles to freeze until after sun down but it was still awesome to see! Here are a few of my photos from tonight When some of the bubbles would completely freeze, their tops would sink in but instead of popping they would just crack! Wow! what a whirlwind month it has been! Now that Christmas is over I can finally post some photos from my mini sessions (several clients requested that I not post them because they were surprising other family members & I was happy to oblige). and the cuteness just keeps on coming... one more for good luck!
Its amazing how fast time really does fly by! It seems to move its fastest when your not paying attention too. Today my husband and I have been together for 6 years!!!!! We were 18 when we started dating & it seems like just a few days ago! Here's a few interesting fun facts about us: Josh asked me to be his girlfriend after I had already told him I wasn't interested in a boyfriend, he asked I said "no", but I quickly changed my mind when I realized I really didn't have a good reason for not dating him :) He met my parents that same day because I told him if they didn't like him there was no point in dating, that same night we went to Build-a-Bear & made a fisherman bear named Bradley. We each had a crush on each other in 9th grade & I had secretly hoped he would ask me to homecoming, I even told him I had dress picked out & I would go if I had a date...he got the hint 4 years later lol The first major purchase we made together was a house which we closed on tax day 2 1/2 years ago. We picked out/purchased my engagement ring after only being together for a year, but Josh did not propose to me until we had been together for 3 years. Yes he had my ring for 2 years! We both wanted to be able to purchase a house & pay for our own wedding, + (my dad had asked me to graduate with my bachelors first, We actually got married 2 months before my graduation). Josh pulled out all the stops to propose to me, at Cinderellas Castle in the Magic Kingdom it was the best proposal ever!!!!!!!! more details later Our engagement year was by far the worst year EVER! Everyone either needs to have a short engagement or elope! lol but seriously... Following the worst year ever we have had the best almost 2 years of our entire relationship...marriage. I gave my husband the most expensive (for him lol) & best birthday present ever this year! Lily, our daughter who was born 4 days after his birthday. I love you Josh & I can't wait to see what all God has in store for us for the next 6+ years!!!!!!!!
