Fun With an Umbrella

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

We were headed out to Callaway Gardens in Georgia for a photoshoot when it started to rain.  While she was waiting for us to load up the car, Hardy decided to play with the umbrella.  She was having so much fun!

As promised, here are some more pictures of my time in Georgia! We decided to spend a day at Callaway Gardens…but it turned out to be quite a blustery day (as you can tell by this adorable picture of Hardy)!

Another great day with great friends!

Introducing…Hardy!

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

One of my dear college friends (also named Shannon) has a sweet daughter named Hardy. It was such a joy to be able to hang out with them, and another dear college friend named Aja, over the weekend I was in Georgia! Hardy immediately warmed up to the camera, and I was able to take some great photos of her.

These photos were taken in Manchester, Georgia. We took Hardy to see an old caboose, and got some great photos!

Don’t you just love her tights??

Upside down Hardy?

Silly Aja!

What a fun day!

Weekend Getaway

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

This photograph is from my recent trip to Georgia.  This is a small church in Newnan, GA that I saw and just had to photograph.  Wouldn’t this be a beautiful church for a wedding?!  Imagine it with a light brushing of snow, the bride and groom at the top of the stairs kissing.  I loved it!

More from my trip to come soon!

Ritchie Family Portrait Session

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

We had so much fun with this photo shoot – it just took us a while to get started!

We had scheduled to meet the family down at the Gazebo in downtown Venice.  On our way to the shoot, we received a phone call from Cait.  They couldn’t find the baby’s diaper bag and were running a little late.  No problem, we’d wait for them.  About 15 minutes later we got a phone call from Matt.  The diaper bag was still missing and they were in an absolute panic! There was no way they could possibly make the photo shoot.  How disappointing.

Mark and I headed across the street to have dinner at TJ Carney’s. We had just ordered drinks when we got a call from Matt –  the diaper bag had reappeared!!!   So they were wondering if we could have the photo shoot after all. Of course!  We walked back to the Gazebo and got started.

Then came the challenge of getting 2 adults, 1 baby, and 2 dogs to all look at the camera at the same time. Not an easy task! But we were able to get some fabulous photos like this one:

After we had a few shots of the whole family,  Mark played with the dogs while I shot Matt and Cait playing with Kylie. Then I took a few of Kylie by herself.  Kylie was in a great mood that day!  But she did keep trying to eat the grass…hehe.  She’s seven months old now so she has just reached the age that she’s able to sit by herself, though she still tips over every once in a while.  Too cute!

Here are a few of our favorite photos from the day. Enjoy!
