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.
With the holidays approach many are having special cards and gifts created. Last year we went to a senior citizen community and took holiday portraits. This dear lady took photos that she then used as gifts for her children and grandchildren. It was so sweet to see the sparkle in her eyes and help her with this precious idea. Enjoy your shopping and gift giving this year!
It’s that time of year again. Find a tree, bring down the decorations, light it up – it’s Christmas time!! Now that it’s December, I’m okay with seeing Christmas things everywhere. I feel like it started so early this year. I will admit that we took our family photos for our Christmas card in November, but you almost have to in order to have your card done and sent out in time. So before Meredith moves up north, she came over for some Clayton bonding. We even gave the pups a bath right before she came over and gave them some bows. Even though our shoot wasn’t long, we had a lot of fun and now we want to share that joy with you!
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!
Jellybean the day he was born.
Here he is at one week old.
We met up a few weeks later for another shoot.
This fall we had the pleasure of a double engagement session. They had many special places for their engagement photos so we split their time into two sessions. Here’s the second part at their wedding site with more fall colors. Between stealing kisses and whispers of love followed by giggles, this couple is headed for a lifetime of perfect true love! We look forward to joining them on their special day this coming winter.
Hail to Cedars, symbol of life! There is a fantastic camp in the middle of the Ozarks in Missouri called Cedars Camps. This camp has a special place in my heart because it’s where my husband and I met! His parents met there as well. So for our anniversary this year we went back to the place where it all began. There have been a lot of changes through the years, but it’s still a beautiful place. I hope these photos can share just a glimpse of the beauty that is Cedars.
We’ve blogged a lot about babies lately so we thought we’d spice things up and bring you a simple classic headshot session. This young man was looking to have headshots taken for use on the internet as well as print. We used the natural backgrounds of mother nature and provided him with a variety of clothing choice. If you are in need of headshots contact us today. We’d love to photograph for you!
Pumpkin carving, leaves changing color on the trees can only mean one thing – Halloween! With corn mazes and ghosts galore we do love this fun holiday. We hope you had a wonderful day of spooky costumes, pumpkins and lots of candy!
We definitely appreciate that our client base in Georgia is growing, and we loved working with this fun couple! The bride’s family is Persian, and the groom’s family is Jewish. It was nice seeing the two cultures blend so seamlessly to make their wedding the best it could be. The Persian side could be seen in the large sofreh at the altar, and also in the honey ceremony. There was a beautiful Jewish chuppah, and of course the groom stomped on the glass at the end of the ceremony. The two wed at the Roswell River Landing with the beautiful Chattahoochee River in the background. There were some comical moments when people floating down the river passed by with their music blaring, but the bride and groom laughed it off. It was a day full of love and laughs.
This precious baby girl was very bright eyed and with the help of Grandma we found a few smiles between those rosy round cheeks!
