ADORABLE.BABY.BUNNIES!!!

How would YOU love to have your cute kiddos photographed with these ADORABLE.BABY.BUNNIES?! 

I know this is really short notice, BUT, this is an opportunity I could not pass up! This sweet, sweet family has offered to bring their bunnies, baby bunnies and BRAND NEW NEWBORN BABY BUNNIES (Just born 2 weeks ago!) over for truly special, one-of-a-kind shoot! So I'm thinking:

Mini-Session Bunny Bonanza!

If you would like to bring your kiddos (or your whole family!) to my house in West Cobb  this Sunday, April 29th from 2-5pm 
and have your portraits made with these adorable bunnies, let me know!  (You can email me, Facebook me, call/text me, message me, whatever! Just let me know ASAP!!)  If we don't have enough interest we will have to postpone, but will try another time. However, the newborn bunnies grow fast, so they won't be as tiny and cuddly! The bunnies pictured above were about 8 weeks old. Their 6 little brothers and sisters were born just days before this pic was taken, and have just recently opened their eyes!

You know you want to come play with them!! 

So why not let us capture that precious fun with some timeless portraits?!

We will schedule each family in 20 minute sessions, starting at 2:00 and the last session being at 4:40. Then, you will arrive dressed & ready to play with these adorable baby bunnies while we will take as many pictures as we can in those 20 minutes! You will get a CD with all images captured, which is sure to result in at least 20 super fun candid images, and/or 5-10 truly magical, once-in-a-raretime portraits of your kids and/or family.  ALL this for Just $50! (Mini Sessions are normally $75, so this is a deal!! PLUS you get to PLAY WITH BABY BUNNIES!!!)

Wanna see how much cuuuuuuter your cute kids will look playing with these adorable bunnies? Check these out:

Mission- Totally Possible!

ALL my life I've heard about missionaries. After I started going to church as a teen, I began to learn about them. As an adult, I began to get really curious about them. How do they do it? I understand the why... definitely understand they why, but the how? Not so much. Then I remembered,

All things are possible with Christ! 

Then it get fascinating... the more you learn the more you want to learn!

SOOOO, let me tell you about one...

Zach Peters went on a mission trip in 2005. That's when it all began for him...

FIrst he thought he was just going on a 1 week mission trip. He had a great job, went to church, felt like he was doing what he was supposed to do. But, little did Zach know, God had bigger plans for Him! During that first trip to Honduras, Zach fell in love with Honduras and its people.  That's how it starts... God tugs at your heart and you know there is something more, and you feel it deeper and stronger than anything else before. He couldn't get Honduras off his heart or mind.

So, in 2006, Zach went on another mission trip, this time for 2 weeks.

Then, in 2007 he went again, this time for 6 months. 

He was done. He knew then that short, or even long mission trips weren;t enough anymore. 

His hearts desire, planted by God Himself, was to do it FULL TIME.

He's been there ever since, yep, 4 years later, Zach still lives in Honduras, ministering to the people there  every day, all year long. He's supported by and works with Good Samaratin Baptist Mission, but that doesn't mean he has it easy. However, the sacrifices are worth it to him. They have a church with 37 regular members, some who walk an hour an a half to attend services each Sunday. There is also a Christian School whose students are supported via sponsorships in the States. (For info on sponsoring a child in Honduras, click here! You could even go on a mission trip to meet them!) 

Yes, Being in Honduras full time was his calling. But God wasn't finished yet. 

While on mission, Zach met the love of his life... in Honduras!! The sweet and beautiful Rina became his wife, and in 2012 they became parents!  Zach and Rina traveled home to Alabama to have the baby and getting some much needed, well deserved rest during recovery. 

While in the States, we had the privilege of hosting Zach and Rina one Sunday as our guests at our church, and Zach preached and updated us on his mission in Honduras. It was a wonderful day. 

Especially the end of the day... where I had the honor of photographing their sweet baby for his first portraits and their first family portraits as well!! We didn't have much time, as they had to get back on the road, but we squeezed in as much as we could in a short 45 minute little session... here's a little peek at this super sweet, special family!!

Thank you Zach & Rina for all you do!  You will be daily in our thoughts and prayers! God bless you as you begin this new season in life, as a missionary family now ;)  We hope to work alongside you soon!!

Sweet Six Months

I love, love,  love photographing repeat clients! It's like getting to watch them grow up over night! We first met Miss C in her mommy's tummy!  Then we had the best time at her 3 month session, and now she's suddenly Six Months Old! My how they grow fast :)

She was even more fun to photograph this time! Hope you enjoy these as much as I did!

We took a little break and let her play on her jumpy, she loves it!

I love catching spontaneous smiles! 

This one happened as she and mommy had a pillow fight while we were trying to get the ring shots on her toes on the bed.

Who. Is. She?!

All of these were shot in their home, using backdrops consisting of their own walls, furniture, floors and decor. This is why I love Lifestyle photography... the opportunity to photograph a beautiful, loving family in their own home is priceless, making the portraits and memories captured that much more meaningful, special and unique. I am so grateful for my photog mentors and friends who helped me learn this! As a way of "paying it forward", I am about to begin a series discussing what I've learned about shooting Lifestyle Portraits, how the creative process works from start to finish and tips about photography in general sprinkled throughout. I hope you will enjoy this new topic and will let me know if it helps you!!

See you back here real soon!! ;)
