Business Time? : Nelson E-Session

A few weeks ago, I headed back to my old college stomping grounds to photograph two of our dear friends, Ben and Melissa. We met Melissa first, while serving at Strong Rock Camp, and Ben the next year when he also came to serve at camp. These two are so much fun, and I am super excited about their upcoming wedding at the end of May!

We began our shoot at UGA's beautiful North Campus...Ben is currently getting his Master's degree at UGA...

Here we go...

Thanks Houston & Pretzel (had to use camp names) for being amazing people! I cannot wait for May 29th...should be EPIC!!!

Baby Come Back: White Maternity

Over a month ago, I met up with Derek and Miranda to photograph them with the belly. We've known D & M for a little over a year now, and I think that they are going to be super sweet parents. I've been waiting to blog this shoot, so that it would be a surprise for the grand-mommy for Mother's Day.

For the shoot, we headed over to a local football field -- in honor of the daddy-to-be. Derek played football at North Greenville University and also coaches football, so we thought a themed out shoot would be appropriate.

Meet Derek & Miranda...

Thank you Derek and Miranda for being so cool! I am absolutely convinced that ya'll are going to be incredible parents. Can't wait to meet your little man!

Stay tuned...I'll be posting an Athens e-session tomorrow. Be there, or be square.

That's right, Sondra will be my right hand gal this summer....so all of you couples/ families will have the opportunity to get to know this wonderful chica.

That's all for now...more to come soon. Stay classy.
