I love Anna Laura Lawrence. Anna Laura is one of the very very first girls, well, actually the second girl who put her faith in me in booking for her wedding photos. I remember meeting her & Andrew, and feeling so nervous. When she called to confirm, I remember the excitement I felt. Her wedding was, of course, amazing. But the best part came after, we became friends. Real Friends. Like have dinner and girl talk and that kind of stuff friends. She is the reason I love my job. I love meeting people and getting to share in their life. Anna Laura and Andrew, I am so happy for you both. She is amazing and beautiful and all things good. Congratulations from the Wages.

And on August 27, 2010 at 8:01pm Audrey graced us with her beautiful full head of hair.
“I am excited about having a baby, but I am really excited about drinking an orange soda” Haha. I love this.

And Lastly, a little video that I made for Anna Laura and Andrew to remember the night by. Sometimes movement is so much more powerful than still images. I love video and have learned the importance of it over the years. Anna Laura and Andrew will be able to hear their babies first cry for years to come. That is something that my photos would never capture.

Keep in mind, I shot this AND edited it all by myself!!! It is my very very first film!!! (Wes of course, told me how to import my files into final cut and did my last fade… haha…. but I did the rest!) I am pretty proud!

Enjoy!

I am literally blogging from the Atlanta airport!!! I will get as many blogs done as I can before we leave (hopefully at least one more!) We have been working around the clock (literally) the past few nights to get everything caught up and are SO SO SO excited to finally be on our way! Whoo Hoo!!!!

There’s not much to say about The Ray Brothers, but there’s a whole lot to listen to. This is the second album of group and we’re privilege to call these guys friends and honored to be able to shoot for a second time. We loved them so much that they played at our wedding over 2 years ago and we actually get to shoot quite a few weddings with them! The album will be for sale soon on iTunes or you can pick it up tonight at their CD Release show at The Shoals Theatre in downtown Florence, AL. Check their Facebook for more info or download 3 free songs here.

Taylor. Wow. I have so many thoughts on this beautiful lady. Lets start there. Taylor has the most special kind of beauty in the world…. yes, inward beauty… she is definitely kind, loving, gracious, and sincere.. but she also has a special kind of outward beauty as well. It is a quite beauty. She doesn’t walk into a room trying to get everyone’s attention on her, but when she enters the room she definitely adds a sweet glow. She is quirky and funny. Natural and soft.

I have been so blessed to be able to know Taylor over the last couple of years, I have learned so much about how to live from her. I feel like she lives with her arms open, just waiting to see what is going to come. She is an artist, so when she looks at the world she sees all of its colors and textures, she sees the beauty in life. I love love this… and I long for this type of mindset. She has it. I absolutely cannot wait to see what she does in the next few years, and what kind of woman she will grow into.

Taylor, thanks so much for letting me hang out with you. If you end up at SCAD buy a sleeper sofa… I will definitely come visit ;) Hope you like your shots!

Be Happy and love each other.
