We love our reunions with past clients!

This little guy is starting preschool this fall! We first met him when he was just a few weeks old and it’s hard to believe he’s already starting this new adventure. He is quite the cutie and we know he will make many great friends this school year. Good luck to his mom cause we are sure he will steal many hearts with that handsome smile!

1st birthday fun!

What would be better than getting to attend a 1st birthday for work?! Capturing this cutie was just too much fun. At first the many faces was a little much and a few tears were shed but soon she was rocking and rolling! With a lady bug theme and great joy with her smash cake, this little one’s first birthday was a party we’ll never forget!

Milestones each step of the way.

The major milestones in life that we often think of first include births, graduations and marriages. However, there are little ones that happen in between that are milestones too. This little one joined us at her tenth month for a mini session in the park, and she had many skills to show us. From smiling, to sitting up, to crawling; I loved seeing these proud parents enjoy every moment with her. So today I remind you all, don’t forget to celebrate the little steps in life! Each one a milestone of its own.

A laughing good time in the park with this cutie!

We had a great time at Wolcott Park with this little toddler! He had no problem smiling for the camera and keeping us entertained the entire session. He was very eager to show off his soccer skills and his favorite friends Bert and Ernie. I look forward to photographing this little guy again and again!

First new family in Connecticut!

This past winter we had to make the difficult decision to divide the company between Georgia and Connecticut. While there were tears shed for this move, we knew in our hearts new clients would be found for half our company going to New England. Here’s to the best first session in Connecticut! This family was full of life and smiles, and the girls showed us all around this wonderful park! We are so grateful for the continuous work in Georgia and the new found work in Connecticut.

Double Trouble from Days Past

The Marietta Square is quickly becoming my favorite location for a photo shoot. The park in the center of the square is great, but there are so many awesome alley ways and hidden areas that are great backdrops. Sometimes it’s necessary to find those hidden spots because of all the events that happen in the park.

That’s exactly what happened this day. Little did we know that morning that there would be the Farmer’s Market, and a fundraiser event. Needless to say, the area was packed! We had to depend on the secret spots for our shoot. And what a great shoot it was! I was delighted to photograph a family I knew from an old job of mine. I hadn’t seen the twins in a year and it was nice to see what sweet young ladies they’re becoming. Their parents decided to join us at the end for a few family pictures. Who can resist a funny face picture, especially with three youngsters?!

First Christmas as a Family of Three!

With half of the Defy team moving north, I’ve been so grateful to spend as much time with them as possible lately, especially since their little one arrived. When he was just a few weeks old we took some family photos to use for their Christmas card when we took his newborn portraits. They are such a beautiful family and I know that only good awaits them in their future.

Jellybean

For this Thanksgiving, Defy is especially grateful for a little Jellybean. One of our photographers recently had her first baby. This little guy has brought so much joy to so many people and it’s time to share him with you!

Sweet baby Liam is on his way right now to visit all of his family in Colorado for the Thanksgiving holiday. We know they are beside themselves waiting to see his precious face.

Here’s the brand new family of three!
