Heather and Thomas - Sneak Peak {Marietta Wedding Photographer}

Last weekend Heather and Thomas tied the knot at the historic Fields Chapel UMC in Canton.  It was an absolutely gorgeous weekend for a wedding, with blue skies and some fall leaves still showing on the trees. 





Right before the ceremony Heather decided to try out the swingset.  Gorgeous happy bride!

A very special little girl (Kennesaw Family Photographer}

Recently I got the opportunity to do a session for a very deserving family. These fantastic people have two beautiful little girls, and although you can't really tell at a glance, they've been through quite a lot in the past few years.

The B Family contacted me via Inspiration Through Art, an organization dedicated to providing services and making a difference for families who have a child suffering from a serious illness or life altering disability.  Their youngest, Eva, was born with Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome, which basically means she is missing the right side of her heart. She had her first open heart surgery at four days old, and her second at four months. Her third (and hopefully final) surgery, should happen around her third birthday, and then she will eventually have to have a transplant once she reaches adulthood. She is now 19 months old, and is doing great!  Despite some other minor issues, such as kidney reflux, low muscle tone in her legs, which has caused gross motor delays and a speech delay, she is a happy, determined, active little girl. 

We decided to take advantage of the fall foliage for their session.  Thank you to Mom, Dad, big sister Emmy, and especially little Eva for sharing your family with me!

Chewie and Sadie {Atlanta Dog and Pet Photographer}

Sadie and Chewie came to see me at Bark & Beg, a fabulous bakery in Kennesaw. The gourmet dog treats were a hit, and so were they! Can you believe they're siblings? They are both Labradoodles, one is definitely more Lab and one more Poodle.  Chewie took some time to warm up to the situation, but Sadie was a camera darling from the first moment on.  We had a good time, so much so that the humans decided to crash the set.  (He protested when he was gently asked to step aside!)  Thanks to Sadie and Chewie and their owners!
