Final thoughts

2012-02-03T07:18:00.001-08:00

I really loved this challenge.

It was difficult at times but I felt fulfilled to be creative in this way. It was a great outlet for me and, in the end, I feel much better about my appearance and how I can make a stronger effort to look nice. I don't think it will be long until I try this again. And I think you should too:)

Here are some things I learned and some new "rules" I will probably implement when I do this challenge again this spring.

1. Skip the weekends. The challenge doesn't have to be 30 consecutive days and some Saturday and Sundays should just be jeans and a T-shirt day. Especially during the winter.

2. Pick lots of shoes. I just chose four pair and it was difficult to work with those. Plus, if you buy cheap shoes like me.. I feel like, by the end, they were completely worn out. No way those brown boots are making it through another winter.

3. Good pictures go a long way. When your ultimate goal is to feel good about yourself, the pictures you have to look at and remember the outfit by can help or hurt some days. Spring should be better with more day light and warmer temps..

Day 26

Day 27

Day 28

Yes, I cheated on the last day with some new shoes I'd been anxious to wear.. And the photo was taken by my 6 year old so consider the "tilt" artistic license..

I missed my other clothes... My Joe's jeans feel really good today and I think they missed me too:)

Catching up..

2012-01-31T06:47:00.000-08:00

Here are several outfits from last week.

Like I mentioned before, I took a break from planning for several days so I am still working on the last few days until the end.

Though I have been a little frustrated in the last week, it's only because I feel like I have learned alot about myself and my style and what I want from fashion. I am excited to start fresh with some new ideas and hopes to be more daring. Plus, I am really sick of these 27 items. Really sick. I might be donating them in a few days so I don't have to look at them anymore:) kidding... sort of...

I am proud to have lasted this long and not to have bought any clothes for a month. I feel much more educated and in touch with my style for when I can go shopping again. More on that later....

For now, here is last week.

Day 22

Day 24

Day 25

And I know I wore the same belt two days in a row but technically it was Friday and Monday so not as bad as it looks. I've found I can't seem to live without this belt or my black one. As you can tell from the last 25 days..

Winding down..

2012-01-30T10:58:00.000-08:00

I've gotten to the part of this challenge where I am feeling less than enthusiastic.

It is technically Day 28 but three days last week I didn't follow along. Thursday I had to take all my kids to the dentist and one was sick so basically I wore jeans all day and a sweatshirt. In the same vein, I spent all weekend at home and had no reason to wear anything but yoga pants.

Plus, in my defense, I have spent a large majority of my time in the last week potty training two two-year-olds so my fashion sense has taken a break.

Here is day 21 and I will post the other 5 days tomorrow.
(I promised to step up my photo game which means all my pics are on my camera still..)

Recap first 20 days

2012-01-25T06:57:00.000-08:00

I am proud I have made it this far. It's been fun but it becoming very challenging. I love the idea but am excited to start again with new clothes. I think next time I'll be more educated on the 30 items to pick.

Plus, in these last few days I am realizing how important those extra four items I didn't choose would be.. Maybe I can rework the rules a little bit for the working mom version of this thing.

Anyway, I'd still love some suggestions if anyone has them and again, I appreciate all the comments and support.

Days 18-20

2012-01-25T06:53:00.000-08:00

Sorry I've been behind.. I like to give you several days at a time instead of bore you with the day to day...

Day 20

Day 19

Day 18

Next two days..

2012-01-20T12:12:00.000-08:00

So, when I started this endeavor I never really thought about how awful I am IN FRONT of the camera but now after seeing pictures of myself on a daily basis... it's really sad.

You would laugh to see what my coworkers and friends go through when they do me a favor and take my picture..

BUT I know you all don't judge.
at least where I can hear you.

SO thanks Christine, Corinne and Camie for the recent pics.. They were all done with cell phones so not the highest quality but nonetheless I have proof I wore these clothes.

Day 16

So.. this photo was taken at about 8 O'colock at night and I'd forgotten all day to have it done so when josh got home we quickly did it in my hall in the dark..

I promise to step up my photo game:)

Day 17

Day 14 and 15 - Halfway through

2012-01-18T06:50:00.000-08:00

Now that I am halfway though, it's becoming a little more work than fun..

I still love the idea and am hoping that the struggles in the second half is what will really motivate me to become more stylish and involved. It's getting tough and I ask, maybe even beg for your help in creating new outfits.. You've seen all the clothes so please send me a suggestion on a matchup... PLEASE!!

I'm running out of ideas..

Day 14

Day 15

SO, you may notice something different about this day.

I did it.

I "bent" the rules.. and here is my excuse:
The magenta flats were originally going to be included in the 30 items. The problem is I couldn't find them. Anywhere. I was sure I had gone crazy but then convinced myself that maybe I had donated them in a wild purging session (which I have often).
Then, last week.. they showed up. Magically. Like someone had placed them underneath 3 pairs of sandals from the summer..

Anyway, since I found them and technically I only had 26 items in my mix, I added them. And I am very glad I did..

Forgive me...

Hayden - newborn

2012-01-17T08:48:00.001-08:00

I was truly honored when I was asked by a former bride and groom to document their lives now, three years later, with the birth of their son, Hayden. A perfect model who slept most of the session. He looked so sweet and peaceful I had a hard time leaving..

Days 11 through 13

2012-01-16T06:42:00.000-08:00

I'm definitely getting to the tricky part of this challenge. Especially on the weekends. I want to look cute and fun but I have to be comfortable and practical especially since I will be spending most of the time cleaning, getting snacks for children, laundry...

So now I have a list for everyday and try to spend my down time, like in the car, thinking about my options and what I can do to spice it up. Bear with me for a while... It might get kinda sketchy..

Day 11

Trouser Gap jeans, Pink Forever 21 sweater, brown scarf??

Day 12

Day13

Another confession: I love big earrings.. LOVE them.

Day 10

2012-01-13T08:55:00.000-08:00

I'm a third of the way there...

Here's today's outfit. First time I've work this dress and it was nice. I'll definitely be pulling it out several more times..

Same brown boots, white shirt: Express, Dress: from Ross (not sure of the brand)

Here is a wrap-up of Days 1-10.. I'm starting to spend time planning out the next 20 so it's about to get very tricky..

Day 9

2012-01-13T08:48:00.000-08:00

Onward I go..
This is my favorite outfit so far.. It felt very me.

Side note: the denim top was actually a dress i had shortened, by the expertise of my mom, into a shirt. I had two denim dresses and this one I really wanted to be a shirt.

I'll make my first confession: I love denim.. love it as shirts, jackets, skirts, even shoes.

Shirts: both Old navy, black pants: Gap, shoes, Payless..
Awesome necklace: A gift from my friend Christine who has great taste.. especially in jewelry.

Day 8

2012-01-10T07:25:00.001-08:00

So I've made it through a week and it has been really fun, surprisingly easy and productive. I feel more aware of my appearance and like I've found a new outlet for my creativity.

More importantly (I know my friends out there can understand this one) I feel like myself again... Myself in a way I haven't felt since I was single. This is my one thing that doesn't have anything to do with my children or husband or house or job... It's just mine.

And it's nice.

Same khaki pants, Shirt: JC Penney, Same brown boots, Belt: Vintage (given by my mom who got it from her grandmother so.. technically, my great-grandmother's)

In contrast to my earlier statement I wanted to add a photo of the true Puckett fashionistas, who I hope one day find their own style.. Maybe I'll get lucky and they will still want to dress alike:)

Shirts: Boutique on behalf of grandmother, leggings: WalMart, Boots: Target

:)

Day 7: The skirt

2012-01-10T07:19:00.000-08:00

So I finally tried the one winter skirt I own.. and I really loved it. Felt very feminine and fun. Can't wait to mix it with some other items..

Sweater skirt: H&M, Same white shirt, Coral sweater: H&M, pumps:????? (I've had them that long)

Special thanks to Jason Braverman who took my photo today.. I wasn't ready in time this morning for Josh to do it..

Days 5 & 6

2012-01-10T07:07:00.000-08:00

So, the weekend proved to be a little tricky since I am used to dressing very comfortably on the weekend. I especially missed my tennis shoes. I am hoping if I choose to do this again it will be in the summer when I can wear sandals or flats or converse even:)

Anyway, I still made these two outfits and they were comfortable and fun.

Striped Shirt: Old Navy, Jeans: Gap(via Goodwill), Black Boots: Payless, Belt: Forever 21, Necklace: Earthbound Trading Company

We traveled this weekend and packing was very easy on this challenge since I only had so many choices and then already had to plan out the outfits. That is my favorite part so far.. Planning. It makes me feel more involved and concerned with the way I look rather than just choosing what is clean every day.

Same Skinny jeans, Shirt: Target, Sames Boots, Earrings: Earthbound Trading Company (hit a gold mine there recently with awesome accessories..)

Day Four

2012-01-06T10:39:00.001-08:00

Here I am again today:) This is the most comfortable of my outfits so far and really easy..

Jeans: Levis (from Day 1), yellow shirt: Gap, Black cardigan: Express, Scarf: Old Navy, Fake Uggs: Target

I did want to point out that most of the clothes for the challenge are old.. alot of them I have had for years.. One item I bought last week with some Christmas money but the rest are either staples that I love or ones I really like and hope to wear more.. like the brown boots from American Eagle I have probably had for more than 8 years.. and they just came back in style! About time..

Day 3

2012-01-05T07:37:00.001-08:00

So it's been a great day today already.. I've already had about 4 compliments on how nice I looked today... One coworker asked me if I had an interview:)

Anyway, it was a nice reminder of how good it feels to look good.

Floral shirt from Francesca's, sweater Forever 21, Black pants Gap, and black boots, Payless...

30 X30 - Day one and Two

2012-01-04T08:07:00.000-08:00

I started this week on Tuesday with a pretty casual outfit. I ended having to take all three kids to the doctor so I wanted something pretty simple and comfortable..

The tops are both Old Navy, skinny jeans are Levis and the boots are American Eagle.

Day Two I tried to be more professional.. Plus, I couldn't wear jeans again and it was too cold to try the skirt today so my only other options were the khaki pants.

I started without the belt and black boots but after looking at the pictures to post I decided it needed something else so I added the belt and changed the shoes to brown boots..

White shirt and pants are Express, pink Sweater is Forever 21.. Same brown boots (American Eagle)

Side note: I HATE HAVING MY PICTURE TAKEN... Poor Josh:(

The clothes..

2012-01-04T07:27:00.000-08:00

Here are the clothes I chose for the challenge..

If you are counting closely I only have like 26 items.. I think it's because I lack shoes for the winter portion of this thing.. Either way I decided to just go with these items so It's technically a 26 X 30 mix but whatever..

here are the tops..

Here are the sweaters.. which I need basically everyday because I am perpetually cold..

Here are the bottoms and one dress.. Kendi everday suggests more skirts and dresses but I'm just not a dress/skirt kinda girl.. especially in the winter so I am going out on a limb with this one gray sweater skirt and one brown sweater dress. We will see how it goes..

And last but not least the shoes. I took advice for the challenge and chose some heels although they are generally NOT on my daily wardrobe list.

One last picture of two items in the remix that need to be washed so.. I had to pull them out. A pair of trouser jeans and a striped shirt.

Stay tuned for outfits...

My 30X30 journey... begins!

2012-01-02T17:01:00.000-08:00

I've always been fascinated with fashion.. When I was about 14 my mom got me a subscription to Seventeen and I remember Niki Taylor's first cover photo. And still I open the pages of Lucky or Marie Claire and swear by then end of the pages I will become a fashionista.. one day.

Well, most everyone reading this knows me and knows I am far from fashionable.. but I will declare that I have always tried. Always. I use to try really hard and then I had a baby and I tried less. Then I had two more babies and tried even less.. and here we are today.

That personal bit of history is to say this experiment is just for the sake of my happiness and to know that I at least tried again. But, I'd love for anyone to join me here on this journey.. blog about it or send me an email... Someone share it with me. It might be fun!

So here's how it goes... You find 30 pieces of clothing, including tops, sweaters, pants, and shoes and you put together 30 different outfits for 30 days. Using only this 30 pieces.. Excludes accessories like belt, scarves and jewelry. The best part?? NO SHOPPING FOR 30 DAYS.. Good for the soul and the wallet, huh?

I stole this idea from a blogger who stole it from another blog, etc... The root seems to be Kendi Everyday and she has good tips and great examples.

Tomorrow I'll post a pic (thanks to my supportive husband who likes the idea of me not shopping for a month) of my 30 items and of my Day one outfit.. Again, I'd love feedback and comments and support:)

See you tomorrow!

Pinterest experiment

2011-12-16T07:15:00.000-08:00

So.. I joined the cult that is Pinterest.

And you were all right.. I love it!
I had the idea to upload some of the things I have made so that I can remind myself that I can be creative also. Apparently it has to be posted online to "pin" it so I am making a post about a picture I made for my nephew.

Originally I wanted something to include lyrics to the song "Dream Big" by Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband. Then I decided to do something to hang in his nursery... idea after idea led to this.. Which I could make in photoshop in about an hour.. so voila!!

Most importantly I'm going to try to pin it now.. so look for it on Pinterest..

Melody & Will

2011-10-27T18:05:00.000-07:00

From the day Will contacted me about his wedding, I knew this would be one that would remind me how much I love my job.
The most beautiful and simple day with a friend and his wonderful bride. Thanks guys for asking me to join...

megan & austin - atlanta engagement photographer

2011-05-20T08:30:00.000-07:00

We picked a special place in Ellijay, Austin's hometown, for their recent engagement shoot and had a great time. With endless possibilities for backdrops, I could spend time just getting to know them as a couple and capturing their personalities... Which makes me excited to be there for their day in November...

katie & thomas - atlanta wedding photographer

2011-05-17T17:11:00.000-07:00

I've been spending alot of time with some sweet babies and families lately but, this summer, I'll be devoted to several brides and grooms. When I was putting together Katie & Thomas' slideshow from March I was reminded how much I truly enjoy giving people a keepsake to remember the most wonderful day in their lives and how honored I am to be asked..

Once again here is a video keepsake of a beautiful wedding on a perfect spring day...

first year - atlanta baby photographer

2011-05-12T07:13:00.000-07:00

At the end of Kaden's first year, I am honored to be able to share that time with his family and document his infectious smile and assorted faces... This sweet boy is now a year old and close to my heart. Thank you for letting me be a part of it!

alex - atlanta child photographer

2011-05-11T07:48:00.000-07:00

This sweet boy wasn't feeling his best for this shoot but he was a trooper and flashed those beautiful blues for me.. By the way, other than my normal editing those eyes are enhanced at all.. they are naturally that gorgeous!!

beautiful savannah

2011-05-03T11:25:00.000-07:00

Enjoy my session with sweet 3-month old Savannah...

katie & lukasz - atlanta engagement photographer

2011-04-25T18:36:00.000-07:00

This gorgeous couple, getting married in June, made a beautiful morning and setting into the perfect engagement shoot. Everything worked out great for us and I love the way the pictures turned out.. Enjoy!

fun in the yard - atlanta child photographer

2011-04-21T07:29:00.000-07:00

As a photographer and a mom, the idea of a 2-year-old twin photo shoot sounds daunting.. With a few props, a beautiful morning, easy-going parents and an absolutely perfect backyard my photo shoot with Ryan and Kara was great. They played, I shot... Exactly the way it should be.

baby wes - atlanta baby photographer

2011-04-20T08:52:00.001-07:00

I'm always so honored when wedding clients contact me to document their growing families. Here's sweet 6-week old baby wes and big sis during a recent session..

melody & will - atlanta engagement photographer

2011-04-13T17:44:00.000-07:00

Will is an old friend from college and I was thrilled when he asked me to capture his wedding to Melody. After meeting her I feel like I have a new friend. Our engagement session was so fun and came out beautifully.. and I can take no credit for the backdrops and scenery. Will and Melody mapped out our shoot to include lots of places that hold sentimental value to them, including the restaurant from their first date

.

Baby on the way - Atlanta Maternity Photographer

2011-04-11T11:50:00.000-07:00

Here's a glimpse at my very first maternity session. Thank you Gifford family for trusting me with such an important milestone. It was a beautiful day and I can't wait to meet their new baby girl...

Harper 9 months - Atlanta Baby Photographer

2011-04-06T14:06:00.000-07:00

Well I have to admit something... not all photo shoots are picture perfect.

Harper's recent shoot had many roadblocks along the way... First the weather forced us to reschedule twice and when we finally did shoot, the weather was much too cold to make it easy... Pair this with a nasty fall within five minutes of beginning and I felt like this poor baby was never going to have anything to do with me again....

But... she was a trooper! We found some warm grass and she found her sweet smile. Thanks to mom who was easy going and wonderful to work with and I found success. Enjoy!

McKenzey Kate - Atlanta Baby Photographer

2011-03-31T07:09:00.000-07:00

Lately the weather has not been too kind for photo sessions, but 9-month old McKenzey Kate didn't seem to care what the temperature or sky looked like.. She was her happy, sweet self during our recent shoot at Alexander Park.. Although I didn't know the baby or her parents before our shoots, now I can call them my friends so how great is a job where you go hang out with your friends for some pictures?? I'm truly blessed to know such beautiful people. Enjoy

katie & thomas sneak peek - atlanta wedding photographer

2011-03-23T06:49:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday was the perfect day to get married and my wonderful bride and groom made it a perfect day to be a wedding photographer. Here's a look at the event. Special thanks to Jenna Scott for help in assisting me. Check back for even more fabulous photos from the day.

Phinn - Atlanta Baby Photographer

2011-03-16T08:31:00.000-07:00

Check out my newest client, gorgeous 10-month-old Phinn... Our session went just like I like them to.. We just hung out with mom and dad for a little while at home and then went to the nearby park for more fun.

sweet cheeks - atlanta baby photographer

2011-03-04T06:45:00.000-08:00

Can you deny this baby has the sweetest cheeks you ever seen?? Both sets? I like to think I don't play favorites with my clients but it's hard when you get to work for someone this cute. Enjoy baby Everett at six months.

i [heart] bryson

2011-03-02T06:42:00.000-08:00

Here is a baby who is near and dear to my heart. He was two weeks old at our shoot and was his sweet self, as you can see in these pictures. Can't wait to see him again!

Jessica & Matt Sneak Peek

2011-01-03T09:01:00.000-08:00

Here is a look at my December wedding... It was really cold, but the snow falling outside was more romantic than you could have dreamed...

Tis the Season - Atlanta Family Photographer

2010-12-16T07:13:00.000-08:00

Since Thanksgiving, I have been really busy with family and children's portraits. Since some families want to save the surprise of the pictures for Christmas cards, I won't post entire sessions. I've had five family sessions and one wedding in the last two weeks.... and I am happy to say I am taking a much needed vacation until March.

Maybe I can post more of my own family stuff soon, including our Thanksgiving trip to Disney:)

Katie & Thomas - Atlanta Engagement Photographer

2010-12-07T08:29:00.000-08:00

What a beautiful, fun afternoon I had with Katie & Thomas at the Stone Mountain Park Grist Mill. Again, I have been blessed with an incredibly sweet couple that make my job so easy.

If someone had told me....

2010-11-17T06:38:00.000-08:00

... during my freshman English class that years later I'd be taking family portraits for the cute couple in the next aisle, I would have laughed.. but probably believed them. My friends Rhiannon and Alan have been together since then, that's 19 years, if you are keeping count, and now have three beautiful kids to show for it.. During my recent visit to Chattanooga, they introduced me to the breathtaking views of Signal Mountain and we had a great time. Thanks guys for thinking of me.

'Tis the Season

2010-11-17T06:18:00.000-08:00

The holidays are approaching which means family Christmas sessions, like my recent one at Poole's Mill Park... It was also the one-year session for little William, who, with his sweet sister, always make for fun pictures.

Jessica & Matt: Atlanta Engagement Photographer

2010-11-17T06:03:00.000-08:00

We had a beautiful day at Poole's Mill Park for Jessica and Matt's engagement session and I can't wait to share in their special day , coming up in December.

Baby Everett

2010-11-17T05:43:00.000-08:00

Was thrilled to shoot some baby Christmas pics with Baby Everett last week. He has a incredibly sweet smile that I am looking forward to capturing in the coming months...

Beautiful Autumn

2010-11-16T18:15:00.000-08:00

I love fall weddings.. sometimes the weather is unpredictable but when it's a good day, the light and colors couldn't be more perfect, which is how is was on Ashley and Javier's perfect day...

New baby on the way...

2010-11-05T07:24:00.000-07:00

... not mine, of course:)

I couldn't be more excited that my friend Christen is expecting her first child early next year. My other two best friends have two kids each and I cherish the time I see their kids, but... since Christen lives in Atlanta, I can see her baby boy (yet to be named) anytime I want:) And I will... with or without an invitation:)

So, this last weekend, while all the girls got together for our annul retreat, with the help
of Mrs. Cotter and Anne Marie, we organized a surprise shower for Christen and I am so happy to have these memories to share with her.

Amanda & Rusty

2010-11-04T18:10:00.001-07:00

My extremely patient and beautiful couple's slideshow from their September wedding. This is my first slideshow on the blog and I'm really excited that, although it took a while, I figured it out... Enjoy!

A new favorite...

2010-10-28T05:33:00.000-07:00

Every now and then a photo will touch you and, in this case, give you warm memories that make you love looking at it.... That happened this weekend with my 6-month old session of Kaden.

I love this picture... If it was of my own kids, I would blow it up and look at it everyday.

When my kids were babies, my favorite times were giving baths and this photo makes me feel like I am transported back to those moments. I can just feel the warm water and soap on sweet soft baby skin...

Kaden the Kutest

2010-10-27T11:28:00.000-07:00

What a sweetie! And a wonderful morning session I had with 6-month old Kaden. Fun and super easy, I has so much fun with this family.

One of Each

2010-10-12T06:41:00.000-07:00

I met Erin through the Gwinnett Moms of Multiples group... I was honored when she asked for a session with her beautiful 18-month old boy/girl twins... We spent a few hours at the park together and, like most toddlers, posing for pictures wasn't their favorite but when we got to the playground, they had a blast.... and so did I. Thanks Erin!

Everett - Atlanta Baby Photographer

2010-10-05T10:30:00.000-07:00

What a fun session with baby Everett... He's three months old and very curious about the world. He was such a relaxed and calm baby we had work for some moments but others came natural.. Can't wait until the next session.

Amanda & Russell's Sneak Peek

2010-09-24T07:21:00.000-07:00

Eagle's Landing Golf Course was the most beautiful setting for Amanda and Rusty's gorgeous wedding... The fairway of the 10th hole with the most beautiful blue sky made my job easy and the icing?? A absolutely stunning and sweet couple ... thanks for inviting me to be a part of it.

Mini-Session Sign up

2010-09-14T05:44:00.000-07:00

I am hoping to hold fall/holiday mini sessions on Oct. 2 at a local park. The session would include one-hour family portraits and as many other photos we can fit in in that hour... The session and a CD of all the images, with 15 edited images, would cost $100, due on that date.

If you are interested, please call me or write at nicolepuckettphotography@gmail.com

Harper - 3 months

2010-08-27T12:16:00.000-07:00

It's on to the next stage for baby Harper and she is ready for it... Can't wait to see what the rest of her first year will bring.

My favorite ages..

2010-08-17T07:03:00.000-07:00

This weekend I was again reminded of how lucky I am! I enjoy weddings tremendously and love capturing the emotion and beauty of the day but nothing is as much fun and spending time taking pictures of a 9-month old and a 3-year-old.... officially my favorite ages. Three is the perfect time because they are old enough to do what they are told but still young enough to have that natural and sweet disposition. I think that is apparent with Averie's recent shoot. Brother William had me amazed since he is walking and standing alone at 9-months!! What I am going to do for his 1-year photos!

Nolan - 3 months

2010-08-10T08:14:00.000-07:00

So this sweet boy is near and dear to my heart... On vacation we had some time for a quick session. All babies change significantly in the first three months but Nolan has been working overtime since about 15 weeks ago he was born less than 5 lbs. and spent a week in NICU... can't tell it now though and look at that gorgeous smile... Aunt Nikki loves you so much!

in case you missed it...

Earlier this summer, I spent many weekends witness to beautiful love stories. With three weddings in May and three weddings in June, I have been less than organized about my posts. But all that work is coming to an end and, in retrospective, I truly enjoyed being a part of each of these couple special days.

I spent some time with this Alpharetta family to meet newborn Alex. Adorably sweet and curious, he hardly could sleep during his shoot for wanting to make sure he didn't miss anything. He finally gave up though and the shoot was a success.

Trying to Catch Up..

.. My family is going on vacation next week so in the next 7 days I have alot to do and get done... I'd like to have no projects outstanding while I'm gone but, we'll see. Anyway, with that said, stay tuned this week for two very special weddings . For now, enjoy my last session with one year old Brady. I'm sad to see this come to an end but since I've know Brady's dad since we were sporting umbros and prince racquets , I have an idea I'll see him again.

More to come on this beautiful day....

Loving my job..

So I've been blessed the last couple of weeks with baby portraits and I can't complain... not just about the work but about the job... I mean, how did I get so lucky to be asked to spend time with these adorable babies... especially sweet 3-month old Kaden...who happens to be cousin to newborn Harper from last month. Every time I look at these pictures I want to rush over to his house and kiss those cheeks again. Don't worry.. I'll call first.

The Family Portrait

I finally found a perfect way to show everyone the perfect family portrait session.... With photos of my recent Snellville family.... We took full advantage of the session time with family pictures, pictures of the dogs, as well as gorgeous portraits of pre-teen Kylie and baby Khloe.... We just spent a few hours together and took every photo we could think of... and I think they turned out awesome. Thanks for the opportunity....

Our babies turn one!

A year ago, our family was blessed with the most beautiful little girls in the world. Last weekend we celebrated one year of happiness for our family. Happy First Birthday H & A!

Nothing better than spending a few hours with a newborn baby girl. I loved my latest session with 2 week old McKenzey Kate.. so much so that, although I have several weddings on the way, I couldn't wait to post these few from my afternoon...
