You Make Beautiful Things: Whitaker Wedding

Well, I wanted to wrap up my Thursday with a post, but I guess I'll have to settle for starting Friday off with one. Several months ago, I had the joy of shooting Noah and Lindsay's wedding down in Moultrie, GA. I've known these two since my Sophomore year of college through our college ministry. It has been such a sweet thing to see the Lord bring these two together over the past year...

On a side note, Noah is the one who introduced me to Strong Rock Camp, which, as most of you know, is where I met the man of my dreams...once again, thank you Noah!!

Meet the Whitakers...

I started off the day with Lindz...her ladies were so attentive to all of her needs...such a beautiful thing to see...

We arranged a little "first sight" for the two of them in the sanctuary...just look at the way Noah looks at her!

It was little details like this that made the reception so special!

Much of N & L's dating relationship was spent with Noah overseas....guess how they communicated?

Coolest. Cake. Ever.

Rock-a-bye Baby: Powell Family

Hey, hey everyone! Hope your week has been a good one so far...

Our buddies Mike and Shannon recently had their first kiddo...so I headed over to take some newborn shots of little Axl. Yeah, he's going to be a a rock star! You might recognize M & S from a session I did over a year and a half go...time flies! This was probably my favorite session to date, which made picking images for the blog a challenge! Here we go...

Shannon is absolutely gorgeous...I pray I look this amazing a week after I birth a kid!

Axl's totally going to be a lady killer...check out his finger gun action...

Mike has a slight obsession with MJ, so we thought this next shot would be appropriate...

Did I mention that M & S are some crazy talented people? Mike is our Worship Pastor at SPF, and Shannon sings along side him...Axl's nursery is covered in musical goodies, so we had to rock out the music theme...

LOVE this father/son shot!

Axl was absolutely amazing our entire session...especially considering he was naked the entire time. About an hour in, poor guy became a geyser...all over his uncle Matthew. This is the aftermath. :)
