Movin' on up!

Loooooooooooooooook!

It's a whole new blawg!

He's always be your baby...

This "big boy" may have turned 1 and started walking, but I'm pretty sure he'll always be his Momma's "baby" ..he is just TOO sweet! He was only a few weeks old when I first met him and I have enjoyed watching him grow from behind the camera ;-)

and now this little doll is O-N-E! His cake smash was messy....but too cute! And of course, we had to get a few formal shots of him in his Sunday best! Look at those eyes!

Down on Shaker Lane..

I had a great time with this really cute couple...engagement photos are so fun! I think they are going to love how the photos turned out. Lots more to come for you guys...and I can't wait for your big day in May!

A year ago...

In loving memory of Frances Raulerson Pickren. It's been a year since she left this earth to go home to her Heavenly Father and we miss her more than words can say. My heart aches for her smile, her voice...her hugs...and the wise Godly advice she always had for her children, grandchildren, and greats. We miss her and she is in my thoughts every day.

Those sweet baby blues..

This little man is too precious for words. His blue eyes alone are enough to give any woman baby fever! Throw in a smile and your heart will melt...

happy heart day ;-)

Sugar and spice...

Sweet, sweet Avalynn.....she was tiny and soft...and just perfect ;-) Here's a sneak peek from her session.

The wedding of { Monica & James }

Friday may have been just a rainy winter day for us Floridians, but it was also the day of another BEAUTIFUL wedding for Bella Blue Photography to capture! The bride was absolutely stunning and the groom could not keep his eyes off of her. The decorations and food were perfect, and the DJ had the dance floor hopping ;-) The event took place at Walker's Landing on Amelia Island Plantation and even though it was nasty outside, it was beautiful on the inside! Enjoy a very small preview of Mr. & Mrs. Cason's wedding day...

{Be mine}

involuntary down time

As many of you already know, because well with Facebook news travels fast...I had an emergency appendectomy last Thursday, came home Saturday from the hospital and have been trying recuperate ever since! Nothing can prepare you for an unexpected visit to the hospital via ambulance...and surgery within hours. I am such a planner, this totally through me for a loop. In the end, I had to give it all to God and trust that He would handle it. As always, He did...through my wonderful family and friends!

I am spending the next week taking it e-a-s-y as I prepare physically (and emotionally) for the wedding of my friend Monica to her fiance James ....I'm so excited to capture their BIG day ;-)

And, because, this *is* a photo blog, I leave with you a few photos from my life.



Our little baby girl lost her first tooth a few weeks ago and Dad snapped this of us a few moments after "the bloody affair." We could not have been more proud!




Anyone that knows D is very aware that she loves art, she even has already declared what her career will be...art teacher! I just loved this picture she was drawing of us ~ { Mom, Darci, and Dad "the big bird" }...

{busy little girls..}

Don't let their size fool you, these are two busy little girls! They wandered about, smiling at one another, squeeling....oh, to be 1! I was there for Karsyn's 1st year portraits, but of course, cousin Rileigh had to be in a few. :-)

Noel and Brad say "I do..."

It was a cold and windy day, perfect for a winter wedding!

Simple, beautiful magnolias, a groom dressed in his Blues, candle-lit church windows, and a smiling bride in her flowing dress...lovely! Here's a small preview for the newlyweds and their family.
