Gemma and Steve got married this past Friday.

They got married at Villa Christina in Atlanta and the venue was perfect with everything they needed. I had a fabulous time and am so thankful Gemma chose me to record their fairytale day !!! Here are a few from the day so you can have a look at their day too :)

Alli Gaulin's Precious family { Atlanta Family Portrait Photographer }

2010-08-18T13:44:00.000-07:00

Last weekend , I went to New Hamsphire to shoot a wedding with my good friend Alli Gaulin. :) She is one of my pixel chicks and you might remember that she along with Laura Stetser shot my wedding a couple of months ago :) I was super excited to get to work alongside her and to have the opportunity to shoot her family session. When you are the photographer it is rare to be on the other side of the camera. I have to say that I am much more comfy on the side of the camera of the photographer :) Alli's Family was beautiful inside and out :) They were so gracious in hosting me and I thought I would share a few from their session :)

There is just something about childrens hands and fingertips that gets to me :)

Last of My Wedding pictures I'll Share... by Alli Gaulin

Robert and I have been married for three whole weeks :):) I don't mean to overwhelm you all with pictures from our wedding but you all have been with me and followed not only my business but my personal life and it seems only right that I share the sweetest chapter with you all :) Alli Gaulin was there with her camera :) It was sooooo awesome to have my dearest friends that just happen to be crazy talented !!! I thought I would share some of my favorites that she took....

You can see Laura with her camera and sweet Granne ( Robert's Momma ) and my sister Stephanie helping to make me look beautiful !

No occasion would be real without my sister Stephanie's touch. She has been fixing me for years and I love it ! I LOVE HER !
I got a text message from Robert.

Our Goofy Babies..

The wedding had just started and I could hear hymns being sung a capella from the forest. The sweet lady Katha Williams had just delivered the cake. She told me I looked beautiful and I said to her " THIS is what grace looks like " It hit me so hard that I was experiencing Grace and Mercy in my life in the sweetest way. There is a lot that lead me to this place and I couldn't be more thankful to be here ! God is so good to me .

I am a preachers daughter .......and my sweet Daddy married us ! What a blessing ! Alli, these pictures are treasures to me.

Our perfect little Sky !

Our reception was very untraditional and PERFECT for us. Laid back with perfect music performed by our favorite musicians and completely FULL of LOVE !

My Maggie :)

A Magical Night !

This night was a gift and the life I get to lead with Robert is so sweet. I am so excited about all the things to come :) Thank you Alli and Laura... Thank you for being my sweet friends and my photographers for mine and Robert's Wedding.

p.s. I have weddings I have photographed and sessions I have photographed... I WILL BE POSTING SOME SOON !!!!

Right before Robert kissed me, he whispered in my ear " Welcome to true love , Mrs. Sims ." That is a moment I will take to my grave :) I want a big one of this picture ! Right now it is the screen saver on my computer :) What a gift to have this love and this man in my life !

This was such a fun session for me. It feels like a while since I have done a maternity session and I love them so much !! When I was pregnant with each of my five babies.... it was the most hopeful time I think I can ever remember. Never again is there a time in a womans life that she can truly say that every minute of every day she is doing something completely good for someone else :) I loved being pregnant and having my babies.... Katie and Cole are going to make great parents ! I am so excited to see what their baby girl is going to look like :) Can't wait for the call !!!!

Chelsey and Nick got married !! { Atlanta Wedding Photographer }

2010-06-12T13:09:00.000-07:00

Chelsey and Nick got married at Barnesley Gardens :) This is one of my most favorite places on the planet. Unfortunately, it was one of those on again-off again rainy days. The intent was to have the wedding outside but 30 minutes before time it POURED RAIN :( Good news .... the rain was spotty enough to give us windows of time to take some pictures outside ! YEY, for that ! Georgia weather has been so strange lately.... We can have bright sun, clouds and pour rain all in the same 30 minutes.... They were completely unaffected by the weather because they were only about the reason for the day and that was LOVE and to say I DO :) I love that ! Chelsey was so relaxed and Nick was in love with his bride :) I LOVE MY JOB !!!! Here are a few pics to tell the story :) MY WEDDING IS A WEEK FROM TODAY AND I MARRY ROBERT :) :) :) :) Pray for my family with all the preparations this week please !!!

Crazy but exciting times !!!

YOU can see why ? They are both beautiful and are crazy in LOVE ! I had an absolute amazing time doing this session. It was Robert who made it possible to get the bed in the field :) He broke it down from inside my house.... loaded it onto a trailer... took it to the field and put it back together while cows were watching and then after we finished with the bed he broke it all back down put it in the trailer AGAIN carried it inside my house and put it back in it's spot :) HE IS THE DEAREST and the BEST !!!!!

Behind the scene :)

2010-05-05T14:28:00.000-07:00

I had a very special opportunity this past weekend. I have had a session in my head for quite sometime and have been waiting for just the right couple to try it ;) I wanted to take a four-poster bed out into a big field and do an engagement session. Holly and John were open to the idea :) The day came and it was suppose to rain like crazy all day so we scheduled for really early morning hoping it wouldn't start raining until later that day. In my head this session had early morning beautiful sun with sun flare and all that but what we had to work with was clouds and grey and a ton of wind..... I am happy that the weather didn't give me what i ordered and led me somewhere I didn't know I wanted to go. I had such a great time it was awesome ! Danny and Suzan Kirsic are a very special couple.... He is a magician with filming and she loves to have a camera in her hands as well... A VIDEO is coming showing you all a behind the scenes look into a session :) but here is a sneak peek. Suzan Kersic was soooo kind to take pic's of the session. OH ! I must give a HUGE THANK YOU to Robert who made this possible !!! He is the person that took the bed apart from inside my house... loaded it onto his trailer.... put it together in the middle of a filed while cows watched .... and then took it apart, loaded it onto the same trailer... took it back inside my house and set it back up :) THAT was awesome ! This session was a collaboration of some really awesome people and I can't wait to show you the pic's from this session !!!!! For now, here are some behind the scenes images !!

follow me on Facebook
to see this session along with others :) It is also the featured session on my wedding site :)

I am sitting in so much thankfulness today I can't keep it to myself..... It is my joy to capture pictures of you with people you love so that you can surround yourself with images of your families LOVE stories....It is the greatest gift we have this side of the grave. I am so happy to have a job where i can do something good... It truly changes you to have images on your walls , framed on your counter and on your desk that remind you that you are truly surrounded by love :) Today, I am thinking about my love story.... all the love that surrounds me :) and it has me a bit teary today... I have so much to be thankful for. thank you for being a part of this journey.... I can't wait to see what is next !

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing
But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything
The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb
But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything
The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know
But I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
You ought to give me wedding rings

This was a very special session for me. I met Melanie about 19 years ago when her son and my Ellie were babies. We were a part of a group called MOPS ( mothers of preschoolers ) Those were the days :) Our children are much older now and well... Melanie and Bob are facing a big challenge. They found out in the same week that they both have cancer. They are facing a battle and starting Chemo the same week. She called and asked me if I would come out to their house and take some photographs of their family before they both lost their hair. It was a blessing to me :) I really enjoyed editing this session so much. It is soooo easy to see the love on all their faces for eachother. Please pray for strength, courage and good health to return to them ! Click on their caring bridge link below to follow their story... most of all PRAY for their family !
