Brett and Carey: Engaged
Sunday, April 25, 2010 | Couples

Last weekend my husband's brother Brett and his girlfriend Carey came to visit.  Brett told Carey that we were going to do a little photo session while they were here.  

We were going to go out for dinner when we were finished, so I decided to do the photos in the alley downtown.  Well...it was prom weekend so every high shool student in Lowndes County was in the alley having their picture taken.  Not the most romantic place to be - so we kept walking because Brett had plans.

We found a pretty tree on the courthouse lawn and stopped for some photos.



Carey thought we were there for posed photos so she got right in position...



It seemed like an eternity to Brian and I before we saw Brett reaching into his pocket.  We were waiting for THE MOMENT.





I'll let the rest of the photos speak for themselves...I just love the expressions!

















I'm guessing that you figured out that she said, "YES!"  :)

A few shots before dinner...

Jessica & Luke: Quitman, GA
Friday, April 02, 2010 | Couples

Hi Everyone!  My computer has been down with a virus for the last two days.  Thankfully someone came over and worked on it until midnight last night, so I can post new photos!

Jessica and Luke will be married in May.  I'm super sad I won't be able to photograph the wedding (only 10 days after my due date) but was glad I got to do some engagement photos for them.

Luke was my brother's college roommate and Jessica is part of our church "family" so they are extra special!  :)

We started out on North Court Street and then drove out to Sea Pond Plantation for photos.  Enjoy!













































I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we can make it to the wedding!  :)

Shab and Dylan - Before the Wedding: Belize
Friday, November 13, 2009 | Couples

This post is a little backwards since we took these photos before Shab and Dylan's wedding, but I wanted to be sure to get their wedding photos up in time for an at home reception they are having this weekend.

If you missed their wedding photos, click here to see them.


Who needs a photographer?  lol  

As I walked up to meet Shab and Dylan for the photos, I saw them taking pictures of each other and grabbed this one just before Shab saw me.  :)



More photos from the area around Captain Morgan's...

Erin and Jo Ed: Nankin
Tuesday, October 20, 2009 | Couples

Saturday was a big day in south Georgia - it was opening day of deer season! :)
For my husband and the rest of the hunters, this means staying up late washing hunting clothes with non-scented soap, cleaning guns, and making all sorts of preparations for the big day so they can get up long before daylight to go freeze to death while they sit in a deer stand for hours.  

Being the vegetarian, non-hunter that I am, I slept late and then drove out to Nankin for a yummy post hunt breakfast that included the creamiest, most delicious grits ever.  mmmmm....

So what/where is Nankin?  Well...it's a community that is out in the middle of nowhere between a couple of tiny towns that you probably have never heard of.  It's a beautiful place with homes scattered along winding dirt roads.  It also happens to be one of the many places I have lived in my life.

    

After breakfast I had an engagement session with Erin and Joe Ed.  Erin is one of the daughters of the most delicious cooker of grits (where we had breakfast after the hunt).  :)  My family and Erin's family have known each other all of our lives, so it was fun to photograph her.  Joe Ed - well - I had never met him before.  I immediately liked him though because right away he said that he wanted to do a funny shot.  We'll get to that later.  

We started out on the front porch.  Could you spend some time here or what??



The old, beautiful trees were the perfect backdrop...



Of course the old barns were great too...







We were kind of brave (or stupid) to ease our way out into the woods for a few shots.





Next I beat Erin down with the weeds (I promise it was an accident) for this shot that I love...



I love the next one too...





Erin and Jo Ed were total naturals!



Nankin is all about dirt roads, so of course we had to get a few dirt road shots.

Okay... WARNING - WARNING - WARNING the next shot is Joe Ed's funny shot.  And it is indeed funny.  But...if you don't want to see (or will be offended by) a kill from a hunt...skip the next photo and scroll on down to the next.

Most people probably won't get the humor all as it involves inside humor or knowledge.  If you know Erin you will appreciate her wink and pose in the photo on the right.  As for the photo on the left - let's just say that not only does Joe Ed not hunt - he doesn't know how to shoot a gun.  He does look a little Rambo-ish though!  :)

OKAY...IT'S SAFE TO LOOK NOW!  :)









Check out Erin workin' it...



Then we let Joe Ed in a for a few more shots...








Thanks Erin and Joe Ed for putting up with me.  I'm so excited about your wedding and can't wait for January to roll around.

Chelsey and Martin
Friday, October 02, 2009 | Couples

Sorry that I haven't posted in a while - I have been out of town for the last week and just returned last night.  

A couple of weeks ago I spent a Sunday afternoon with Chelsey and Martin.  They will be married in November in the bustling metropolis of Barwick, GA (population 439).

Because I have to get out for some appointments today - I'm going to leave you with the images below.  I'll tell you more about Chelsey and Martin next month when I post their wedding photos!

We started out with a few photos around the barn...

















Then we drove over to the cypress pond...what a great location!  We spotted an alligator as soon as we arrived.  It was little, and it was hiding under the murky water.  If you take a peek below the arrow you will see its nose as it swam away.



Chelsey and Martin...


















































Aren't they the cutest?  Be sure to leave them a message below.  :)
