The day after our session, we all ran back up to Ooltewah, TN for Lela’s big birthday party! Most of her baby buddies were there, we had cupcake cake, Matt debuted the first of 18 songs he’s going to write for his little girl, Lela discovered bubbles, and we were all very, very proud.

Lela was completely surrounded by her female family members – grandmas, great-grandma, aunties and cousins – all cooing, giggling and talking that wonderful baby talk.

You’ll never guess who this is! Baby Asher is growing up on us! For a reminder, check out his newborn session here!

We love you, Lela Joy! We are so honored to have been here since the beginning and to be a part of your life and putting that beautiful life on camera!

Atlanta Adventist Academy (AAA) hosted a golf tournament at Orchard Hills Golf Course in Newnan, GA. I am proud to have been a sponsor and take some photos of the events of the day. The course was in great shape and the weather was great until about the 14th hole. The lightning came out and we were called back to the clubhouse, but not before we were drenched on the drive back to the golf cart garage. I don’t think I’ve ever been so wet in regular clothes. We had a great time and raised money to help pay for the school’s athletic department needs.

Putting competition.

Prizes and giveaways.

The shock after his 60-foot putt for $10,000 hits the pin and ricochets out! We were all stunned at the incredible putt and couldn’t believe our eyes. He’s my hero.

A few weeks ago, I photographed the Message of Mercy 10 Year Reunion Concert. Message of Mercy is an all female vocal group that tours nationally. In college I was the group’s sound technician for three or four years and had a great time traveling with the girls and being one of the “girls.” :) It was so fun to see all of the members who spanned the group’s ten year history. The concert was wonderful and they all looked so great! I’ve pulled out a few of my favorites from the night.
