Georgia, Hell Yay! (excuse my french)

 This beautiful couple is Shelbie and Lewis and they are getting married October 2013.  When we met they mentioned that they wanted to do a engagement session in Georgia and if I would be interested.  Hell ya, I didn't say that out loud.:-)  I love to travel and my job has taken me to some beautiful places, mostly beach lined.  With all honesty I will have to say this is one of my favorite shoots ever.  With all the different colors, textures and history it was a photographers paradise. In a time when things are so busy and I have to admit this industry (photography) continues to be more challenging I'd forgotten how much I just love to take pictures.  Plane and simple I love photography and have since about the age of ten.  This Georgia trip with Shelbie and Lewis reminded me how much I enjoy this profession.  Shelbie attended college in the town of Milledgeville, Georgia and while there she fell in love.  She was so passionate about telling me everything she knew, which is a lot.  Sounds like Shelbie and Lewis will someday make Milledgeville their home. 





























                                 This train track image is one of my favorites of the entire day!! 
The day was spent in different area's that Shelbie wanted to utilize for pictures.  This part of the day was my favorite.  This is called Central State opened in 1842, Georgia's first psychiatric hospital.  Shelbie had so many stories from history to share of Central State, made it all that more interesting.  In AZ we try to find old, vintage areas to shoot.  All I kept thinking was how legit this was!!













The next morning we finished up down by the river.  I love the color and feel of this series of pictures. The last picture was obviously hay bails.  I was so excited when I saw them while driving into town. 











Lewis and Shelbie thank you so much for taking me on this fabulous engagement extravaganza in Georgia.  I truly had a wonderful time with you and your friends.  You both are so kind and generous not to mention georgous.  I had to buy my own Starbucks this past weekend. haha..

Is it 5 or 15 Minutes of Fame?

Image
I want to say I am experiencing my 15 minutes of fame, since I had my 5 when I was 12. Stephanie help me out, what was the name of the talk show your mom took us to the tapping of in which I got to ask a question? This took place in 1979, we were in sixth grade. Teen Beat I think? I was selected to ask a question, in which now I can't remember if it was to Lief Garrett and I am thinking the host was Kristy McNichol, aggg... Anyway when the episode aired on TV I was to embarrassed to watch myself. Da I wish I would have!! On to my recent fame, I was asked to shoot the cover of the Arizona Bridal Source Guide this past spring for Kim Horn and it is out and about. This fame will last longer then 5 minutes since it will be available for the next 6 months. I am so very excited and am happy with how it turned out. It was a great and nerve racking experience! You can pick up a copy at several bridal shops around town and it will also be given out this weekend at the big bridal show at t...

Ahh Stella

Image
When you get an email from the sister of a past pride asking if you could take pictures of her 6 month old baby girl, you say sure! When she ask you if you can meet at her sister-in-laws house to take the picture because she has a "fun house" you reply yes. Then you show up and see this beautiful baby girl and this incredibly decorated shabby chic house, you burst with excitement inside.. That is just what happened. Elaine emailed me to see if I could take pictures of Stella and asked if we could meet at her sister-in-laws house. Well, you can see for yourself that Stella is beautiful and the house was a photographer's dream. Elaine had all her own idea's for Miss Stella. We had so much fun and Stella was a trooper to say the least. I loved how Stella would smile at her mommy over and over again. She is truly a happy baby. This shoot inspired me to convert some of my office into a studio. I called my friend Nancy after the shoot and was blabbing away on how much fun ...

 My first wedding of 2014 was with Nicole and Chad at Encanto Park Clubhouse.  This wedding was so sweet with fabulous details.  I mean really fabulous details, from the location, to the bridesmaids attire and reception details.  If you follow my blog regularly you know I usually do not post to many detail shots, I always photograph them, I just do not post them.  For this post I am posting more then average because they were just so fun.  Thank you so much Nicole and Chad for allowing me to capture your sweet wedding.  It was such a great way to start 2014.
