The WPJA was founded to uphold excellence in the area of wedding photojournalism and is a highly screened, critical organization.

We are going to be in Atlanta on Friday September 14, 2007 for a family member’s wedding that weekend. If any of our blog stalkers in Atlanta (and I know there are some by my web statisitcs) are interested in family, engagement, or bridal portraits while we are in town, let us know and we’ll be glad to work you in! Session fees are $200 and usually take no longer than an hour.

Whhewwww….it was steamy today!! I met with Shannon & Chris for their engagement session and we went on a little nature walk. Shannon chose this location because it reminded her of Virginia. The lighting was nice though! These two will only be single for a little over a week. We are shooting their wedding on 8/11 on the Navy Base. Oh….Shannon said she booked us because she saw our Christmas post where Wes bought me the Canon SD600 Elph camera. She had the same camera so she thought we had good taste! LOL!

If there is one thing I know, it’s that Rae’s boudoir sessions are hard to beat….. A new trend here in the south that is finally making its way from the west coast is for the ladies to have a nice sexy porfolio for their men as a wedding/honeymoon gift. Jennifer is getting married this October here in Florida, and she came for a visit recently all the way from Germany to wrap up some wedding plans and do this session. I know that a lot of our blog stalkers may blush over these photos, but I am not showing anything more revealing than you would see at the beach. Jennifer is a great sport for letting us post a couple of these, and if anyone is interested, your photos would never be posted without your permission! Everything is done very tastefully and your comfort is a number 1 priority! Session fees are $200 and usually last about an hour. This is a taste of what you can expect……

July is turning out to be somewhat of a slow month in the wedding industry. I think it is just too hot for most people! We took advantage of a Saturday off and went to Mobile for some family time with Rae’s sister and parents. We will be posting some more photos in the middle of the week from recent shoots, but here is a sneak peek of our weekend off visiting Dauphin Island for a little swim time…..

Avery really enjoys the water…. Can’t wait until she’s old enough to go out on the boat with dad!

Avery and Rae’s dad, papa. HE’s actually holding her and she’s not crying!

This our niece Abigail…. how cute is she?
