Christmas is here!

Merry Christmas! I hope your day has been full of joy, peace, and hope.

I leave you with a few photos from one of my "secret" November sessions...enjoy!

{3 guys and a girl...)

I had such a great session with this sweet little family....their boys were super polite and you can tell "Momma" is raisin' her boys right! I had a blast, Brittany.....stinky dog and all! :-)

Childhood passes by in the blink of an eye. Remember to cherish those moments of "chaos" ..and always thank God for every fake smile, cheesy grin and "Are we done yet, Mom?!"

Here's a preview of a beautiful (inside and out) family I was able to photograph this weekend....LOVE their "Ma" ;)

{all you need is love}

I had the best time today with these gems!
These girls were full of giggles, smiles, and lots of love.....seriously could melt my heart!

{family, the ones who love you best..}

I am so thankful hurricane Ida held off her wrath for a few days ...Sunday afternoon was gorgeous! Here's a preview of my session with Stoney's family.

{little moments}

Yesterday's early morning session was windy and cool, but we had beautiful weather so you will NOT hear me complain. These sweet kids were troopers. They just enjoyed "the scenery" and I captured their smiles along the way...

Hope you enjoy Ansley & Cristina. Many more to come soon!

(p.s. -- if you know these kiddos, please DO NOT mention these photos to Ansley's parents...it's a Christmas suprise!)

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 ;-)

I learned a few things about the "S" family at their session.....

Chad sometimes gives a fake smile...
Turner doesn't like going barefoot!
Lucy wears pink glasses and...
Landrey is just a bit taller than Lucy.

These kids were so well behaved!

Thanks Stef ...you have a beautiful family! More to come soon.






And because it just isn't one of "my" shoots without a fun jump shot ;-)

This beach session was scheduled for last week, and from bad weather to being "under the weather", I think we were beginning to wonder if this session was meant to happen! No worries, though, we had beautiful weather all weekend and finally were able to get together.. Mr. Cale wasn't too sure about the waves, but he did like Daddy pulling him the wagon!

Enjoyed visitng with y'all Tara & Bryan -- hope you like this preview!

If you want know how much I love you, count the waves..
