Sad Sad Stuff

“To call him a dog hardly seems to do him justice, though in as much as he had four legs, a tail, and barked, I admit he was, to all outward appearances. But to those who knew him well, he was a perfect gentleman.”

So, if you know me at all–I’m an animal person. I love Cash more than anything, Apple is a close second. I totally fell in love with Beck and when she had to be put down at 10 weeks old i was absolutely devastated. I remember not eating, sleeping, and I still miss her. Loosing a pet is loosing a family member. My parents live on Lake Oconee, close to I-20. DJ was chasing some crazy wildlife that lives out there and made his way to the interstate.


Saying that this dog will be missed is an understatement. He was known and loved by almost everyone in the neighborhood. He was part of the family and I know we will all be in morning for quite a while.

I came up with the pics I had of him. If you would like to contribute, please e-mail me.



Boxers are a special breed and have an amazing joy to spread around.




Ashley & Brendon E-Session

Posted on June 16, 2009

I can’t believe I forgot to add Ashley & Brendon’s E-Session to my blog!!!
Well here you go: I drove down to Orlando the week before their wedding in GA. This was the first time I had ever met either of them and I was quite surprised to find out they are both international swimmers. Ashley and I talked about her mom riding horses a little bit, but I had no clue I’d know her so well (look at the wedding entry). We played around their beautiful neighborhood for a few hours then headed to Houston’s where Brendon proposed to Ashley :) It was the most romantic location (and awesome food!).

Happy 1 Year Anniversary!!!

Posted on June 16, 2009

John and I were married 06.07.08 in Gainesville FL. This past weekend we were celebrating our 1 year anniversary and while driving around downtown Jacksonville, we ran into this beautiful mural. I set up the tripod and a light and snapped a few pics before the sun went down completely. I love the feeling of the mural–it’s so colorful and romantic with the buildings falling in around you.

Me & Parker

Posted on June 12, 2009

If I’m not with my camera or on the computer editing, I’m probably at the barn. A couple of weeks ago I was tired of everyone other than me having awesome pics of themselves riding. So, I set up my camera, gave it to Dori and told her how to use it. Luckily it shoots at 8 frames/second, so she didn’t need to worry about much.

This beautiful horse is Parker, a Imported Hanoverian gelding. He’s a Weltmeyer son and competes 4’6″ jumpers, hunters, and 4th level dressage. He’s pretty nice :)

I find that a lot of people are confused with my blonde hair pic fom my wedding on my website, so I decided to put up a pic of myself (and Cash).

And here is one of my family :)

Tess & Tim

Posted on June 1, 2009

I think everyone can tell, but this couple was fun!!! Tess and Tim were silly, light hearted, and really seemed to have a good time with each other :) They SMASHED the cake all over each other, we were constantly trying to get Tim to put his coat back on, and I really think they are consideing jumping off the dock into the quarry for a TTD session. :)

Oh, I almost forgot the best part: Dragonfly catered their reception :) YUM!! Tess has really good taste :) :) :)












Kristen and Alex

Posted on June 1, 2009

Kristen and Alex were married on hot day at the Baughman Center in Gainesville, FL. It did rain for a week straight starting the Monday after their wedding, so I guess the hot was a blessing :)

I keep trying to find the perfect ways to describe their wedding and one thing keeps standing out: They were REALLY excited to get married! The love between these two was so apparent, it was striking. (Being a wedding photographer–that says a lot.)









Ashley & Brendon

Posted on June 1, 2009

Ashley and Brendon were married a few weeks ago at the John Oliver Michale House outside of Athens, GA. There is so much to say about this amazing couple–let’s start about 10 years ago.

I don’t think I ever met Ashley, could have, I had met her older sister, but I don’t remember Ashley. She was probably in the pool while I was on a horse. He mom Kathleen and I rode at the same farm, Beaver Springs Farm in Loganville for years together. I actually took this pic when i was probably 16 of Kathleen’s horse:

She still has it framed in her house :)
So, back to the beautiful couple. Ashley and Brendon are both international swimmers. Everyone at their wedding were all swimmers. I think my mom (who was my assistant for the wedding) was wishing my (single) sister was attending due to the multitude of attractive athletes :)





Note: NOT her wedding cake. Somehow the cake maker got a little confused and dropped off the wrong one!!!



This is one of my favorite pics I have ever taken! The look so in love!
