Miss C - senior love

When Miss C and her BFF trekked with me to my favorite field, we had no idea the afternoon we were in for. After shooting for a while, we narrowly escaped being hit by a runaway BMW racing through the field, and then proceeded to watch, open-mouthed, as police cars, ambulances, and a firetruck, followed. After staring conspicuously for a while, we did what any girls would do and just kept on shooting! We found out later that the BMW crashed (the car drove well out of our sight) and the woman driving was incoherent. Scary.

I can't describe my love for Miss C. She's just one of those girls who is fun to be around - vibrant, adventurous, and CLEARLY gorgeous. She's an awesome artist, loyal friend, and an all-around cool chick. You can't tell from these images, but the weather, although sunny, was only in the upper 40s, but that didn't stop this girl from busting out her tank top, sandals, and mini-dress. Love it. I couldn't decide on my favorite of the favorites, so I decided to grace this blog with many images of her pretty self.

Miss C *senior sneak peek*

How insanely gorgeous is this girl?! Just one for now, but I have many more of Miss C and her BFF's dual senior session to come!

Let's hear it for GEORGIA!

All Georgians totally need to check out this amazing music video! My brother-in-law Price and his friends created a parody of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind" for the Peach State, and it's sooo good! Click below to view!

Abby *a sneak*

I know I said I was taking a lil break, but my sis Abby (or Aunt "Ah-bah" as a certain adorable little boy says) has been sick with the black plague all week. Okay, so it might not be the plague, but I haven't really laid eyes on her for fear of catching her week-long ailment. Super active toddler + sick mommy = not happening! Although we've corresponded on Facebook, I thought I'd post one little sneaker of her with the lovely Miss C from last month to make her smile.



More to come!

Confession

So I guess it's clear by now that I broke my little blog goal - boo hoo! But it was actually more intentional than it seems. I had a session cancel this weekend, so for the next week or so while I have some photog down time, I'm going to spend the time I would take blogging on reading more about the technical side of photography and getting inspired artistically. I won't be gone long though! In February, I have 3 senior sessions with my fabulous reps and I'm itching to sneak in an 18 month shoot with my own little babe :o) So check back soon!

Waiting

Anyone else ready for spring?

Hayden and I got a taste of spring yesterday. The weather was in the mid-50s, the sun was shining, there were blue skies everywhere, we played outside...and then 2 hours later it was overcast and has rained off and on ever since. I enjoy Georgia's changing seasons, but with a super active toddler who hates being stuck inside, I'm ready for some warmer weather. But winter did have its good moments. Things I love about winter:

• all things Christmas
• Starbucks peppermint mochas and vanilla lattes
• making homemade soup on a cold day
• cute scarves
• the one snow day we usually get
• having a fire in the fireplace (one of Hayden's obsessions)

But I'm looking forward to these things in the spring:

• playing with H outside every day
• health - it seems like everyone right now is sick all the time
• a spring round of pre or post-Easter mini-sessions that I'm planning in my head
• having more family sessions in general! Who wants an outdoor session in freezing weather?
• flowers blooming
• Starbucks frappachinos (I might be a teensy bit of a coffee addict.)
• so much more!

Ready when you are, spring!

Uncle Will

I'm ashamed to admit that I missed yesterday in my every-other-day blogging venture! I planned to do a cute post on Hayden's 18 month "birthday" and get a few pictures of him, but when we went outside with the camera to play, he didn't want to do anything but hang on my leg and whine, and those would NOT have been cute images to post.

Hayden has FIVE uncles, but I've decided to dedicate this post to Uncle Will, one of Hayden's best pals who recently moved to Mississippi for college. Will and Hayden have totally bonded since H started walking (and running, and climbing....) On a daily basis, they would build blocks, climb stairs, look for the moon (Hayden's current obsession), and read books. H loves his 4 other uncles, but we've been a little lost without Will :o( Here are a few images I shot the day before he left us! Miss you, Will!
