We loved having the opportunity to shoot these amazing seniors! We aim to create a personalized senior portrait session that highlights each senior’s unique personalities.
Be warned because I’m all up in my feels on this beautiful Sunday afternoon guys🥰. Well beautiful if the weather man is wrong and it doesn’t end up raining. Anyways, I may have already said this to many of you over the years but it really bares repeating. I know I can speak for Stephanie as well when I say that it is absolutely the best feeling in the world and an honor to watch your families grow and change over the years. I get a little choked up thinking about it to be honest. Every time I get a text with a screen shot of your wall gallery projects or walk into your home for a session and see my images hanging on your walls, I can hardly explain the amount of gratitude I have that all of you have trusted in me to document your lives and tell your stories, so thank you for that!
My recent session with the Mayville family, who I’m featuring today, was another reminder of how lucky I am to get to do what I love while getting to know so many amazing people that I may not have gotten to meet otherwise. I’ve been photographing them every 4 months or so since their first little nugget was born. Most recently we got together for their second son’s one year old family session! What??? We picked downtown Ball Ground for a different feel this go around and it didn’t disappoint. I’m obsessed with all of the brick walls and searching out the little nooks and crannies that make for a fun variety of backdrops! I’m especially loving the giant freshly painted white warehouse doors.🥰
Our first fall mini session takes place at this location on October 3rd and we absolutely can not wait! If you haven’t signed up or decided on the location you like best and are still available next weekend, grab a spot! Downtown Ball Ground is not far from Milton, Alpharetta and Cumming!! It’s a beautiful drive and the town has such a cool old town feel to it. I suspect some of the leaves are starting to change early this year at the park and field area also! 👏🏼👏🏼🤞🏼👏🏼🤞🏼 I dropped the sign up link to all of the fall mini session locations and sign up link below the gallery ☺️
Happy Summer!!!! Not sure about you guys but these two Coco Alley mommas are running around a bit crazy right now!! Between spending time with you guys and having our littles littles home for the summer, well…forgive us! We know we have been a bit MIA from sharing with you guys!! We just had to stop for a second and share this one!
This girl right here you guys…I can’t even begin to describe my excitement and joy for her. I met Hannah when she was maybe 13 years old on the softball fields of Alpharetta. My hubby and her dad played together on the Police Department’s team. Flash forward a few years when Hannah started babysitting for us when our daughter was about 1 year old. Lyla is now just shy of 7 and she’s still watching our kids weekly! Like many of you mamas and daddies out there, you know when you trust someone so much to care for your kids and know how good it feels to realize how much they genuinely loves them. It’s a pretty big deal! So when she first told me that she knew she wanted to marry this guy (whom now I know is the awesome Corwin) I selfishly yelled inside. Our girl will be his girl…she won’t want to babysit anymore! The kids can’t wait to see Hannah get married and are very much looking forward to dancing at her wedding. She is part of our family. I’m ecstatic for her and so thankful she allowed me to capture a few moments of their engagement. Funny side note….They thought they were going to be “awkward” at their session but holy smokes you guys….they were anything but! Look at the sweetness!!!
The Seals family left Texas just a few months ago and are now Georgia Peaches! I am so glad they found us because is this family not adorbs?! Little sister Anabelle clearly runs the show in this little fam and it kept me laughing the whole time! Don’t take my word for it, scroll down and take a little peek for yourselves! Welcome to GA, Seals family!!!
This summer has been the summer of babies! In the last 3 weeks I believe we have had 8 new little squishy clients born! Throw in Stephanie and I both taking separate vacations and it’s been exciting times! This gorgeous expecting couple was sprinkled in the mix just 2 weeks ago. Christy is due any day now! These guys rocked their session and I think you’ll agree when you see some of their images that love was in the air! Talk about being naturals in front of the camera!
I am always blown away by the spectacular view of the sunset on West Milford Farm. It’s simply stunning and never lets me down! You can imagine my excitement when I found myself discussing the details of an intimate evening elopement at one of my favorite locations! I may or may not have done a little happy dance lol! After a few months of planning, Nikki and Tate tied the knot this past Friday during a sweet and private ceremony. A perfect little picnic followed and the evening ended with a romantic stroll through the fields as the sunset! I just loved all of the personal touches and details they put into making their day special. My favorite part though had to be Tate grabbing his bride and kissing her right before the officiant could even tell him to! From that moment on, I don’t think they went 60 seconds in-between smooches : )
To Nikki & Tate: Thank you for allowing me to witness your love and commitment to one another! I wish you all the happiness in the world as you start your new journey together as husband and wife! Enjoy every minute of Italy!
Though we are often pretty silly and like to keep it light we are about to get deep on ya for a few minutes! We want to wish all our mommy clients a Happy Mother’s Day and we mean business! We hope you are all spoiled rotten today with the same level of love and affection we have witnessed you showering on your families! We have not only been inspired by all of you, but we’re forever grateful for the trust you have placed in us to capture the essence of both your children and family which we know is your heart and soul! Many have allowed us to be present during the first hours of their baby’s life or those leading up to it, to later confidently handing over those adorable little bundles as early as just 3 days old for their newborn portraits. Others have allowed us to plan fun concepts for everything from awesome cake smashes, perfect senior sessions for their kiddos as well as annual family photos. You have invited us into your homes for various celebrations, surprises, first year milestones or simply to document everyday life and childhood past times and we always walk away feeling like a friend of the family. Like all of you, we are momma bears ourselves so we thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We have been so honored to be part of so many special memories that we have gotten to play a small part of in this past year! We also can’t forget the gratitude we feel for the sense of community we have felt while getting to know all of you, the advice and tips you have shared with us as well as the hospitality you have all shown us! So thank you, mommy to mommy, for helping us follow our dreams by allowing us to be part of your lives!
Enjoy your special day making memories with your beautiful families!
With love,
Stephanie & Lindsey
I was so honored to have the opportunity to participate in the Cheyenne Heard 2016 Memorial Fund Photo Shoot and given the chance to honor the memory of a very special and exceptional young lady who was called home way too soon. Though I didn’t know Cheyenne, I have learned so much about her fun loving, kind and giving spirit from so many of her loved ones. Donating my time and talent to photograph so many caring families that unite once a year to raise money and pay tribute to Cheyenne was just as humbling this year as it was last year. I not only met wonderful new families and got to shoot some familiar faces but it was also an amazing reminder of what a terrific community I live in! I wish that I could post more of the images I shot but here are a few to give you an idea of how much fun we all had celebrating the life and legacy of Miss Cheyenne!
You read that right!! 16 peeps, people! I was contacted by Becky, a mom of a family I shot at the ONE photo shoot for the Cheyenne Heard Memorial Fund Benefit, because her mother wanted a big family photo shoot. Since all her daughters and their little ones would be in the same town at the same time, they finally had prime opportunity! I was ecstatic! So we kicked off the New Year on January 1st and met in Downtown Ball Ground. It was cloudy and cold really cold, but this was a group of troopers! The kids cooperated amazingly and we knocked out the shoot! You can tell these cousins have a special bond, just look at them! The sisters are now married and mommies, but I could tell they are super close! Cheryl, better known as Granny :), e-mailed me after receiving the pictures thanking me for “capturing the fun moments we share as a family. I cannot wait to display them in our home.” This is why I love what I do and knowing they will hang these images on their wall is one of the greatest compliments I could ask for as a photographer, it makes my heart sing!! They will forever have these photos to keep as a memory! Enjoy this fun bunch! 🙂
