I had the pleasure of doing a fundraiser for United Elite Gymnastics & Cheer this spring – and being an olympic year, we decided to use the American flag in the background.  I was so thrilled with how the portraits turned out – I immediately had the idea to use that background for some fun mini-sessions this summer, to kick off the summer games!  This background works great if your child is into a particular sport – we can showcase them as the champions they are, and really capture their personality – something that’s hard to do when they get their rushed sports pictures.  This background would ALSO be completely adorable with your child in their favorite red, white and blue outfit – or even that special July 4th outfit that you wish you could have them wear longer!

I was thrilled to be asked to photograph Brittany & Josh’s big day – and it was a really beautiful day!  They didn’t ask me, but if they had, I would have agreed that having their reception outdoors just before and after sunset was IDEAL.  It was a photographer’s dream to shoot – everything was just perfection!  It is clear that Britt & Josh have a huge support system of family and friends – the love was so evident that day!  I had way too many to share, so bare with me – but here are some of my favorites from the day:

Seth is such a cutie patootie!  The first day he came in, he just wasn’t feeling it – we finally figured out that he was tired when he practically fell asleep on Dad as he walked him around to soothe him.  The nice thing about being a custom portrait photographer, is that I can invite clients to come back another day to finish their session at no additional charge.  I want my clients to be thrilled with their portraits – and I’m happy to spend the extra time to make that happen.  Seth was a new man when he came back – handsome, happy, and a perfect baby model!  It just goes to show – anyone can have an off day!

There is just something about little dancers all dressed up and ready for recital!  I love offering these special portraits – it’s a great way to capture your little one before the big day, so you can be free on recital day to enjoy the show and beam with pride!

Here are just a few from Beary Best Academy in Frisco, TX, taught by the wonderful Jessica Clark:

Finally getting to posting these images that I shot alongside the simply amazing Sarah Bezila of BerryTree Photography, based in Atlanta, GA.  I had a fantastic time, and hope we can shoot together again sometime – I LOVED being referred to as “The Sarahs”!
