Moving on... :: Augusta, GA Senior Photographer

Ahhhh, senior year, what an interesting time. Maybe not while you're in the middle of it, but looking back it really is something. High school is a four year span of trying to fit in or trying not to. A time to try to figure out who you are and who you want to be. It often seems like many events contradict another leaving so many unsure.

But, senior year means you've made it, you can see the end in sight, you've survived! It's a time full of emotions battling each other - you're happy to be done and out on your own, but not totally sure you're ready to leave home. It's a tough time for all involved, not just the soon to be graduate. The family that has guided you through to get to this point is dealing with a whole other rollercoaster of emotion.

I had the privelege of doing Daniel's senior portraits on Saturday and despite the heat, we had a very nice session. I got to chat with him as we went along and he is a very interesting guy. High school is what you make of it, and I believe Daniel knows that. He's found his niche to get through, but along with that he's found a passion for film making and writing scripts. I think that's huge! I had no idea what I wanted to do beyond high school, but he knows which school he'd like to go to because it's a top school for film.

Daniel, I wish you nothing but the best in your senior year (and getting through those senior projects) and in your future. Remember to take a moment now and then to look at how you got to where you are and to look at all you have to be thankful for.

Just Mommy and Me :: Augusta, GA Maternity and Child Photographer

This shoot was just so sweet. Lilah and Stephanie were such troopers as we made our way through the tall grass in order to capture some great mother-daughter moments. Stephanie did say she wanted more of Miss Lilah too so we let her guide the shoot.

Lilah was a fan of all the goodies her mom brought along, however, the ultimate had to have prop was the giant lollipop! From the time she got out of the car that was all that was on her mind and she was determined to have it in her little hands on her time schedule! This little girl is just awesome; she's sweet, but strong-willed and her personality just shines through in these pictures. I think it's a mixture of those eyes and that smile.

Stephanie, thank you for letting me capture these special moments. Savor each and every one. Lilah will no doubt bring you tons of blessings along with baby boy, but as we know they grow up way too quickly and we're left with the pictures that froze those moments in time, so that we can refresh the ever fading memories in our minds.

After going back and forth on whether to go through with this shoot because of the threatening rain, we finally decided to go for it and I'm so glad we did. It ended up being a nice evening with some very sweet people. I really enjoyed spending my time with you guys and your sweet girls. I hope y'all like your sneak peek.
