It was another ridiculous hot and humid day in Georgia, but that did not stop the outpouring of joy at Khaki & Jeremy’s wedding. Just beautiful colors and the beautiful house and landscape of The Inn at Oak Lawn Farms. Again, I have to say they are the sweetest couple and compliment each perfectly. It was so neat to see Khaki’s dad read the service. And I must say, that breeze that started midway through was a divine wind. It was just one big family celebration, and Lani and I feel privileged to have been part of it. I wish you guys all the luck and love in the world. And now your sneak peek…
So tickled with all the red rooms at Oak Lawn. They coordinated perfectly!
Lani (of Nichols Photography) was kind enough to assist me at the wedding. She got to hang with the Jeremy and his groomsmen.
These were just a quick few that caught my eye as I was sorting. Looking forward to editing the rest. Look for their client gallery soon. Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Holbrooks!

My session for yesterday had to reschedule, but I didn’t want to miss out on another opportunity to show Marie (of Marie Seals Photography ) Hightower Falls. The place might look familiar. This is where I went for Matt & Kendrah’s engagement session last year. It’s a really beautiful events place. I have to admit, my favorite part is that it’s got so many neat little nooks and crannies to take pictures, but it’s not wicked far from a bathroom. When you hang with a lot of newly potty trained peoples, you learn to appreciate such things.
Ash was my go to model of the day. Dharma was in an adolescent mood, and the other two needed naps. Plus there’s a creek and everyone knows little boys with new boots for puddle jumping like creeks, too. So off we went.
Marie discovered all the new little baby frogs. I’m so proud Ash actually held one, and put it down gently. My kids tend to be a bit squeamish.
About now is when I noticed something wrong with his mouth. At first I thought he had decided to eat something. Yeah. I know. Five’s a bit old for eating dirt, but I hang with the babies and get used to the idea.
This is his first lost tooth. We never found it. And it just makes me want to cuddle him and stunt his growth, and wail, “Where did my baby go?”
I’ve got time, I suppose, before he takes off in whatever car, truck, motorcycle or lawnmower he gets his hand on. It hurts a little somewhere. Dharma turns 11 this month. Wow. Wait until I dig up her chubby baby pics. Yep. Have to scan those ones. She was born before digital cameras were affordable.

Today I get the privilege of speaking to a bunch of kids at the Tallapoosa library. I’m terrified. Huge age range and a bunch of them. I figure the best way is to just do what I do and explain along the way. I really do love telling people about photography and teaching people what I know. Shoot. I’m a huge fan of education in any form. That being neither here nor there… I hope I’m not the most boring thing the kids see this summer.
Meanwhile, now that Westley is well, I have been able to work with C.’s pictures. He’s just such a doll. And his brother, M. is so… boy. If you have a boy about 11 then you know what I mean. It’s an endearing quality. Really. Of course, I’m not much with words (which makes me wonder why I should speak at all) so here’s the pictures.
I totally got this idea form the pre-k teacher’s at Tallapoosa Primary. All credit should go to them. I don’t think it’s quite right yet, but I’m pretty happy with it.
That’s all folks. I have to go make preparations and not get too nervous. Remind me to tell you about the days of my trumpet solos and how sick I used to get as a drum major. I’m a mess. Really.

So we have finally gotten a break from the rain and I start doing what I love again. And of course, Westley kicked the bucket. I really hate computers some days. And, in case you are wondering, it’s a Princess Bride reference; “Good Night, Westley. Good work. Most likely kill you in the morning.” But he has been resurrected and i’m right back in the swing of things.
That being neither here nor there, I got to hang out with E. and her family again. Photographing beautiful babies makes my world sing…
You guys are great! The full session is on my client page…
