Oh my gosh, ya’ll… I can’t get over how good these look! The Tapia family are gorgeous, aren’t they??? And yes, we took their wedding pics many years ago. I don’t even know how long it’s been exactly, but their kids are so big now, and as any parents would say, “Time is flying!”.
When Spring is here and flowers begin to bloom, so does love… It’s love’s peak season, and we are so happy to show off another beautiful couple to you all! Randi + Jack came into town for their engagement portraits, and we were a bit concerned because of the rain and had to make a few minor adjustments, but it all worked out in the end!
Is it just me or does time go faster and faster as you get older? Because here’s the thing… I feel like it’s only been a couple of years since we’ve seen the Criss Family, but it’s actually almost been a couple of decades! How in the world is that possible?
Running a business has been quite a journey… there’s never a dull moment and there’s never a time where you can just relax. Whether your business is doing well or not, you have keep going, keep advertising, keep innovating, keep getting leads, keep getting better, etc…
We clearly remember Jenny + Maarten’s wedding day in 2018…. First of all, I can’t believe that was 6 years ago. I mean, why and how is life passing by so fast?
First of anything in the new year is special, so we are so happy to announce our first engagement shoot of 2024! A great start makes it even better when it’s with a sweet couple, Emily + Jeremy. We drove up to North Georgia, to Hightower Falls!
What a way to start off the year with the Morenos! First of anything in the new year is so special, so it’s a privilege to begin our 2024 blog post with this lovely family. I think you can agree with me that they’re beautiful, right?
Have you heard, “When you know, you know?” I have no doubt that that’s exactly what Ashley + Jamal have felt when they knew that each other was the one for them. But, when it’s God telling you that “he’s the one” or “she’s the one”, it’s a sense of peace that nothing in this world could ever describe.
A family doesn’t have to be ordinary. Love how the Jenkins fam knows how to get create and unique with every shoot we do with them!
Did you know? Every photographer talks about their “ideal client” and what that looks like. It’s actually an essential part of the vision of your business. Why? Because just like any other businesses, you have to know who you’re marketing to.
1st Birthday… Oh, how special this day is! We have three kids of our own, so yes, we can relate to the significance of this day! In the Korean culture, the 1st bday is the most important, so we go pretty big on the parties, but Daniela + Paul went all out on another level; a level that I didn’t know existed! WOW!
When we see our couples on their wedding day, it’s usually our second time with them, engagement shoot being the first. But with Chaveli + Michael, it was already our third time! We did Chaveli’s maternity shoot too, so it was so nice to capture all those great moments with them.
The older I get, the more I cherish the people we get to meet… I say, “we get to meet” because it’s a blessing! We truly cherish the relationships that we have made and kept over the years, and we are so old now that I find myself frequently saying, “Oh yeah… we’ve been knowing so and so for over a decade!” LOL!
We have been waiting for Traci + Matt’s BIG day to arrive, and when it did, it was a BIG deal! We are so happy for this couple for many reasons, but we just knew that this one would be special. Traci has a way of visualizing something and making it come true.
Classy. Elegant. Timeless.
Love is patient, love is kind… I’m sure you’ve heard that somewhere before. It’s actually in the Bible from the book of 1 Corinthians, Chapter 13, verses 4-8. I always say how love is the best gift in the world, but at the same time, it’s the hardest thing to do as well.
I know I’m biased, but interracial weddings are extra fun because there’s just so much culture to share! For this wedding, our bride was Nigerian and the groom was Mexican, and you guys… I’ve never seen a reception anything like it before!
Whenever you mention weddings to someone, most people respond with a negative emotion and equate it as being stressful. Don’t allow that to be the “normal” thing about weddings because it really doesn’t have to be that way.
This October, we will be celebrating 15 years of being in business! What’s crazy though is that there are still SO MANY locations/venues that we have not even heard of! Even ones that are close to us… I mean, you’d think we’d know them all, right?
Life is good. GOD is good… isn’t He? I mean, seriously… ISN’T HE? The most heart warming thing to witness as family and wedding photographers is watching our couples become moms and dads and watching their kids grow up.
Your heart is a reflection of your mind. And your actions are a reflection of your heart. We do as we are compelled, so it’s so important to make sure that our minds are healthy and whole. From the genuine smiles and sincere kindness of our couple, Lauren + T.J., there was never a doubt in my mind that they have positive minds.
When we are on the way to a wedding, one of the things that we wonder about is definitely the bride’s dress! Most of our couples have engagement sessions with us, so getting to know them during that shoot is very special personally and professionally, it’s a time for us to get to know their style and personality.
There were many things about Nyia + Donavon’s wedding that were on another level. You know, some people just know how to be extraordinary in everything that they do, and this couple is definitely one of them! First, our bride was breathtakingly stunning.
The way God created everything is pretty magical, isn’t it? There’s this divine reasoning for why He did what He did with every small detail to being things, and marriage is one of them. For Him to create a man and a woman to come together to become this perfect team is a remarkable thing.
Fifteen years ago when I was planning our daughter’s 1st birthday party, I contemplated over having her party on a Friday or a Saturday. There were pros and cons to both, but a huge pro for doing it on a Friday night was that it was much cheaper.
Having clients that are going through similar seasons in life makes photographing them even more special! We shot the Lankford’s daughter’s portraits a few years ago, and so when Nicole contacted us for family portraits, we coudnt’t believe how much her girls have grown.
There are so many factors in giving our clients a good experience, and all of these factors are very important to us because our goal is for them to leave the shoot satisfied. Weather is a HUGE factor!
Every milestone in life is precious, but there’s just something about college commencement that makes it a bit more extra! I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I graduated college more than 20 years ago, but I clear remember it.
