I love this little family. They are near and dear to my heart. Cynthia is a dancer on my dance team at 12 Stone Church, but more importantly a very good friend. Mike and Cynthia  are both wonderful people and parents to their boys, Michael and Hayden. I was able to be present at Hayden’s birth last year, so he will always have a special place in my heart. I remember seeing his sweet little face, fresh on this side of eternity, quickly covered in kisses by his adoring parents, grandmother, aunts and uncles. Now he is throwing a baseball and riding a pony with his big brother.

Family life is so sweet. I am so grateful to be invited into the lives of the wonderful families I get to photograph. May the Lord bless you, Kelly family, this year and every year after. Love you!

Annie and I had SO much fun shooting Cory and Cami’s engagement photos at Piedmont Park last weekend. Before the shoot, we did some dreaming about what they wanted to do and what they loved. Eventually, we landed on the whole idea of doing a vintage shoot. I was so excited as that was something I have really wanting to try.  It was something we did at Love Affair this last fall. ( wow did I LOVE that workshop!) I had been wanting to try some new things but hadn’t had any real takers with my couples. Then came Cory and Cami! I love this couple! They are so fun and enjoy each other and life so much. This is part of what makes my life so enjoyable. Working with wonderful people who so openly and comfortably love one another.

I never had to pose them. We just gave them a few props and let them go. They did  the rest.

I pray many blessings on this beautiful and sweet couple and am so thankful I get to shoot their upcoming wedding in March.

Enjoy their sweet pictures~
