Hi Friends!

What a gorgeous day. It is really hard for me to be sitting inside where my computer is the focus on a day like today! But, Im trying to stay focused as I can't believe it is Friday. Where did my week go!? 

I was so excited to meet this sweet family a couple weeks ago as they introduced their new little one to the world. This first time mom and dad were so calm and such natural parents. I was so impressed. 

Smith Family! Thank you so much for allowing Kim and I in your home! We loved meeting all three of you, and hope you just melt over these photos of your precious little man!

Much joy!

Hi Friends!

You may recognize these two from their engagement session we shot in Downtown Atlanta earlier this year.  The crazy-in-love Taylor and Christy tied the knot at Frogtown Vineyards in the North Georgia Montains earlier this month! Frogtown Vineyards is one of my favorites in the North Georgia area.  Stunning views surround the carefully manicured vines and estate and amazing wine makes for a lovely wedding venue! And on top of a gorgeous venue, an amazing couple! I absolutely love these two! From the start, I loved Christy's contagious laugh and smile and since our initial meeting where I felt we clicked instantly, I've been excited to shoot their big day and feel as if I've known them a lot longer than a few short months. My favorite part of the day was during their first look and when Taylor turned around to see Christy for the first time,and walking every so slowly and cool-y Christy couldn't hold herself composed any more and literally ran to him with arms wide open. And Taylor swooped her up and twirled her around as if it was a moment from a movie and a couple hadn't seen each other in years. Just loved how much they love each other.

I also can't not share how I was just floored by every little detail of this wedding. Such a unique combination of family inspired pieces meets shabby chic meets a touch of vintage decor. I loved all the details that Christy with the help from her amazing Mom put together for the day. That being said, every detail and design were given the utmost attention, love, thought, and care.  The result?  A very unique, personal, one-of-a-kind celebration that has "Taylor and Christy" written all over it... See for yourself!

T+C! You guys are so awesome! Thank you for allowing us to tell your adventure through our photos. I sure hope you are just smitten with these photos, and can't wait to hear about how much more in love you two are now that you are husband and wife!!

Much joy!

Gavin is One! I can't even believe that a little over a year ago, our family grew +1. It's been the absolute best, most loving, most challenging, happiest, perfect/imperfect year of my life all because of this little guy. He is the reason I smile so much and I love my life even more now because of him. Colby and I are the luckiest parents alive because of our little baby Gavin and I'm so excited to see what this next year brings!! Walking, talking, new food and more fun!  There are lots of adventures waiting for our family and I'm just going to hold on tight and love every minute of it!!

Just had to share some cake photos because to me, they are the definition of a 1st birthday!! He didn't dive in like I thought he would but he took his time and enjoyed every minute of it! The best part was when he realized how yummy his fingers tasted and gave us the biggest smile you could ever imagine!! A birthday card from our little neighbor friend said it best. She drew a picture of Gavin with a cake in front of him (so cute) and it said "the best thing about turning one.... is you get your very own cake!"

Enjoy and I just want everyone to know that this is the cutest baby you'll ever see :):):) I can play favorites because he's mine!!!! LOL!

One super special mommy that we spent the morning with is Victoria! Not a totally new mommy but certainly new to having a 3rd!! Baby Eva was born in the morning and shortly after I got a text saying she's here!!! (I love getting those texts :) Eva was so sweet and sleepy and I'm not even sure we saw her with her eyes open! She did give us a smile or two which is always special and we couldn't have been happier with this sweet family!!

Ramirez's, Your family is precious and Alea and I are so happy to have been a part of these last few weeks!! It's been awesome getting to know all of you and we hope so much to see you again soon!!

Enjoy!
