Meet Emily!

A member of the Class of 2015 at Westminster High School, Augusta, Georgia, Emily is the whole package!  All the characteristics you'd like in a daughter - beauty without vanity; brains without being condescending; talented but humble; stylish but modest; sweet but not passive; funny but tastefully so;  In fact, her teenage rebellion just might be "being classy"!  Seriously!  I'm not sure how her parents did it, but if they could write a book on how to raise a girl like Emily, they'd be gazillionaires!

And her artwork is incredible!  Such talent! I am so glad I got to know you, Emily!  I can hardly wait to see what you do next!  Will you invite me to opening night at your first art gallery showing please?  I'd LOVE to come!

Congratulations on all that you've accomplished!  I have no doubt that you can do anything you put your mind to!

FALL MEANS FAIR TIME IN AUGUSTA!

     So this past Thursday, I realized it was opening day for the Columbia County Fair.  It would be here til Nov. 8th, but I also realized that we turn the clocks back Saturday night, MEANing, it would be getting dark earlier next week. 'So what?', you're thinking.  Well, in my world, that means getting photographs taken sooner because of the lighting.  I quickly realized I needed to do the Fair shoot I'd been wanting to do forEVER that day.  Besides, the weather was perfect, (something you can't plan in advance) and I had found 2 willing girls to help me get my "Fair Fix" on!  So, we headed out to the wild blue yonder, (better known as the Columbia County fair grounds by Patriot'sPark)....
WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY out in the country, according to you Augusta folk, lol.  But, it only took us about 20 minutes with rush hour traffic to boot! 

   I remember the smells, {good and bad}, lol, the lights & colors, the crisp breeze, the laughter, the screams, the tastes, the candy apples, the funnel cakes, and especially the green & yellow Double Ferris Wheel where we would meet each other after our parents dropped us off (Alabama State Fair in Birmingham).  And how can I forget, my all time favorite, the donut machine where  dough dropped down in tiny little droopy circles and proceeded down a little river of grease where it would end up fried to a crisp only leaving dousing of powdered sugar to complete it's perfection!  AHHHHHH- DE-LISH!

Here's to memories that you make in High School that last forever!

and, here are some of the shots we got in the less than hour we had before sunset!
Thanks Girls for letting me reminisce.        I LOVE the FAIR!

FIRST LOOK-ADDISON

Class of 2015-Lakeside High School Columbia, Co., Georgia

From our first meeting, I knew I was going to like these two!  We talked tennis, fun times at the beach, UGA, and of course, what SENIOR year was going to be like.  We talked a little about location and thought about doing something out in the country, but then Addison's brother suggested a place their Grandmother had taken them when they were little.  I scouted it out, and it was a photographer's dream!
Using a location that held special memories for her, made it that much more meaningful and I hope these bring back happy times :)

Everything was going smashingly the day of....Not deathly hot (as it can be in Augusta in the Summer), not too many bugs to swat, but clouds were looming.
We managed to get in a full hour at this location before the rain started.  We decided to meet the next week to finish it off at a different spot, with water and rock, which complimented her denim and carefree look perfectly.

It was just a wonderful experience and I was blessed to be a part of Addison's special year!  In an industry saturated with choices, thank you for choosing me!

Congrats to you Addison-- Your hard work is paying off!
This year will fly by (and then the rest, too)  I hope you look back on these someday and remember with many smiles your Senior Year!  The Best is yet to come!

Much Love to you and your family!
