{may-may turns one}

My youngest niece turned one last week and Nana threw her a little "girls only" birthday party. Maci is such an easy-going baby, always grinning and making the rest of us smile. Someone (can't remember who?) nicknamed her "May-May"....and somehow it has stuck. ;-)

Enjoy a few snaps from our fun evening celebrating one sweet little blessing.

{ lessons learned }

The past month I have had to deal with some personal demons in my life. Things like pride, forgiveness, jealousy...to name a few. Here's a few thoughts that I've had running through my mind.

"Just say no."


"You are only responsible for YOUR actions,
everyone else has to answer for their own.."


"Don't judge a book by it's cover."


"You can't make everyone happy."


"God's greatest gift is answered prayers."


"Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:10"


There are several sessions and weddings already booked in my 2010 calendar (that I am most definitely looking forward to!), but after much prayer I have decided to slow down and dramatically cut the number of photo shoots I will be doing in the next year. My body, my mind, and my family needs me to slow down. I'm not saying this to cause an influx of e-mails and requests for session dates. I am simply sharing what's going on with me. Have a wonderful week and enjoy this beautiful weather!

You couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day yesterday, the cold front that moved in was perfect timing! Here's a preview of Meg & Alex's special day....

{Can't take my eyes off you...}

This was such a fun e-session, it gave me so much to look forward to in Febuary at their wedding on Amelia Island! Super fun couple, super sweet bride-to-be who is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the out....and no, he couldn't take his eyes off her.. ;-)

These are really too cute not to offer. They are two-sided and I really want one! This one features photos from one of my senior winner sessions. Brittany will be getting this in the mail tomorrow!

{these are the days} || Hoboken, GA photographer

I think as mothers we're so busy keeping kids from fighting, doing housework, and taking care of our families, that we often forget how precious our children are...how every day will be a memory soon. Here's a few shots of some kids that are dear to my heart.

little girls rule...|| Folkston, GA photographer

I am biased as I only have one little girl, so I *know* mothers of boys will completely disagree (and they have every right!) ...but, there's just something so sweet and fun about little girls for me! I have a soft spot for sassy attitudes and sweet kisses for their Daddy's...

Here's a sneak peek of a family session I had tonight.....where girls rule ;-)
