I am on a roll, well actually a card

I thought it would be harder to switch to digital, but today I picked up my 5d without even thinking about my film camera. I could not believe it, maybe I am cured. I was on a way to a shoot of a family I have photographed for five years now, have always used film and usually would get scared that I would forget how to shoot. But this time I didn't have that feeling. I arrived and felt it, that connection of what I was seeing, the light, the moment, it all was there, and I did not even need my tripod! They should have some recovery support group for those like me who felt sad about not shooting with my RZ. I am in full recovery, I love my 5d! Here are some shots from today

Jessica Rabbit was my bride

Yesterday Courtney & WIll were married at the Cathedral with a great reception at the Hyatt. Courtney was so cute and had the cutest figure, we decided she looked like Jessica Rabbit. She was great to photograph, Will you were good as well. The were some of the nicest people and were so much fun. We had a break in between the wedding and reception so we walked around downtown and took photographs, it was great. We took our time and found doors and ivy and just had a great time.

Beautiful Days

;


I love this time of year, it is just a little cool, the bugs are starting to go away and you can take a walk without sweating to death. I photographed the cutest little girl last week, it makes me wish Alexa could go backwards in age and I could experience her all over again at ten months. I try to freeze in my mind every moment. This little girl was such a joy, she was so easy and so happy. Here are a few photos, I love how proud and happy the parents look.

Tobia Tied The Knot

It is always a great compliment when another photographer whose work you adore asks you to photograph her wedding. We had a great time and the weather was perfect. The setting was at Tybee at this beautiful rustic beach house, cupcakes for the wedding cake and amazing artists all around. I love being surrounded by other artists, congratulations Tobia and Timmy!

our Ritz Carlton

The week has just flown by. My cough is finally letting up, thank goodness and I finally have time to blog. I was in the country for three days for Paula Deens Magazine with Brandon her assistant, aka creative director for her magazine. He is truly amazing with his talent and energy. We had a great time photographing his friend Sara for the magazine, she will be featured next year in the magazine. Sara was a wonderful artist and decorator, she lives in a house on the same property she was born. She can actually see the house she was born in, this seemed to be a common thing in the country. It was thirty minutes to a Burger King, and I have never seen so many stars. We were put up in a cabin built by Brandons dad, with roosters that woke me up early every morning. I have never seen so much taxidermy, turkeys, bobcats, you name it they hung it. It was so wonderful, it was a really full of good families who just loved being around each other and everyone helped everyone else out. I had a great time, it was kind of nice having no cell phone service, internet, tv. Here are some photos, Brandon secretly wants to be a model I think, we carried the bobcat which we named bobby around with us and took photos of him, I know strange, but with no tv, and no liquor (it is a dry county) we had to entertain each other.

Today I feel orange

Lisa has a color code system on what mood she is for the day. This little girl showed me all her colors today. She was so cute, we had to balance her on her moms head to get her to smile for some. She did so good, and alot better then Alexa would do in a studio setting, I have tried with her and failed many times. Here are some of the pics.

I love Island Eye Care

I met this family about eight years ago, it could have been nine years I can't remember. They have always just seemed to be a part of my life. They have made such an incredible difference in my business and my life. Jim talked years ago about connecting our business downtown, I even wrote in a journal I was keeping at the time. I thought this man must be crazy, I didn't know him that well at the time and of course it sounded great to me. I did not have a huge client base at the time and I had no idea how that would ever happen. Well about six years later I saw Jim at a wedding, and he helped me get into a space and grow to the point I am now. I am forever grateful to their family for helping me get to the next step. Four years later this month I have been out of my house and now am expanding again. I can't believe it, thank you to Jim and Kelli for believing in me. Now that I have gotten all mushy, here are a few of there kids. They are so big now, of course I am still the same age!

Rebecca and Brooks

Last night I photographed a beautiful wedding at the Mansion on Forsyth. We had a great time taking all the photos before and she was stunning in her gown. They of course were great dancers since the whole wedding was from Statesboro, and boy they know how to throw a good party. The night was flawless, congratulations Rebecca and Brooks. Here are a few photos.

My Little Monet

I bought Alexa a little easel and she just loved it. She squealed and said cool. So we let the little artist go to work so hopefully she will stop drawing on herself. She has little hope of being an accountant coming from two artist.

Attention

I am happy to announce some new things we are doing with the studio. I know most of you have been able to get to know sweet Lisa who has been with me for one year now, (we just had our anniversary!) and Allison who is the brain behind photoshop and keeps the orders straight.

Liz & Kalib

This weekend was a weekend of weddings, say that fast five times! LIz and Kalib were married Saturday at the cathedral. She was stunning, and so calm. The wedding was full of beautiful details and even a trolley tour of Savannah between the ceremony and reception. The reception was at the Hilton with the flowers done by Harvey Designs. This was the first cool weekend, I hope that there are more to come.

The Mansion

Shelly and James were married yesterday in a beautiful ceremony at the Davenport House with a reception at the Mansion. It was such a beautiful day, it was overcast when I needed it to be and then the sun would come back out. They were a great couple from DC, with a great family. The dad gave an incredible speech which made it hard to focus since I now think about my little girl and tear up. We walked all around Savannah and took photographs and they had a wonderful band called Mr. Potato Head that came in from Charlotte I believe. It was a magical night. Congrats Shelly and James, here are a few from the wedding.

The Judge

I photographed Lori Judge and her family today. Her son Albert is so cute, he had the cutest little rolls on his arms. Lori sold me my first house and was great, she now has opened in one year this great space on Abercorn and Jones. She has great vision and is a great person to work with as well. She helped me through the scary part of the first house. We had fun around downtown taking photos of Albert. Here are a few.
