Waiting for Ryan to smile

August 1, 2010 | Category: Portraits | 2 Comments

We met Riley and Ryan in downtown Suwanee for the final MS Walk Session. We instantly fell in love with Riley’s curls and blue eyes and Ryan’s red hair and freckles. They did their thing- Riley worked it and Ryan smoldered. But we just couldn’t get a real, big smile from Ryan. This one was pretty good.

We told jokes, made faces. He’s got the James Dean thing down, though.

Riley needed no direction. Once she got started, she took off. Watch her go…

Riley’s mom says she’ll move to straightening her hair soon. We sure hope not. You’re beautiful, Riley!

This is a pretty decent smile, too. Still not there yet…But LOOK at those freckles! They’re so wonderful!

Just as we were about to leave, Alan snuck up on Ryan and…THERE IT IS!!!

We had so much fun with you guys! Thank you both and thank you, Lea! Hope you enjoy these!

A dog and his family

August 1, 2010 | Category: Portraits | 4 Comments

This is Buddy. Buddy is 8-months-old and he loves pulling on his leash and playing with his boy, Tristan. He also owns Mike and Carrie, Tristan’s parents, who feed him and walk him and wait patiently for his puppy stage to calm down. He lives a pretty tough life.

This is Buddy’s boy, Tristan. He likes to climb things..just like Buddy.

Buddy has a pretty good-looking family, don’t you think?

Buddy liked our camera and got excited. I think he thought it was some new black, flashy ball.

Thanks, Buddy for letting us play with you and your family!

trespassing with style

Karla and James are some of our favorite people. All you have to do is watch how easily James cracks up and doubles over with laughter and experience Karla’s candid and genuine nature and you’ll fall in love with them, too. We were overflowing with blessings after shooting their Dallas wedding last August and our blessings continue when they asked us to do an early one-year anniversary session while visiting Atlanta. We wandered through a warehouse district downtown and even got kicked off of somebody’s front porch (who knew warehouses had front porches?)! Oh, it’s all excitement and adventure with ADP! Karla and James, you make us look GOOD.

haystacks in the park

June 25, 2010 | Category: Portraits | 6 Comments

We love haystacks. We love beach parks. We love the Bryants. Life is good. For those of you that don’t know about haystacks, we don’t mean bales of hay – we mean a wonderful twist on a taco salad indigenous to the Seventh-day Adventist culture. Come on over to our house sometime and we’ll introduce you to them!

The Bryants are a special family. First, Kellie and Jonathan invited us to their home in Oahu for their beautiful wedding this last Sunday. And since we include an engagement session in each wedding package, we made sure to slip in a last minute session in Ala Moana Park, or Magic Island, before we had worship with their family and watched the weekly fireworks. The two kids, Noah and Chloe are originally Jonathan’s but could not be more in love with their new family member!

We will talk more about these guys in their wedding blog on Sunday, but here is a peek at the wonderful Bryants. We know you’ll love them almost as much as we do.
