Have an inspiring day

Ahhh my bed!

ahhhh....sinking into my amazing cloud of a bed. this feels spectacular. it's been a long weekend, and I have been out of my house for about 3 nights in a row, it feels good to be back. hello bed, I'm sorry I left you... promise to love you immensley this week. Love- Sarah.

I had a fabulous time helping Joy Wilson from Joy Wilson Photography shoot Kelly and Brad Logan's wedding this weekend. it was gorgeous, and Kelly took care of every detail to a T! The wedding took place at Towne View Baptist Church in kennesaw, GA and the reception followed at Cedar Plantation in Acworth. It was one of the most beautiful receptions I have ever been too. The food was great -AND there was a chocolate fountain... you may think it's tacky but if you get a room full of women around there then you would have figured someone discovered they could breathe diamonds. it was amazing. The ceremony was sweet and scriptural... the music shared the Gospel with each note sung and Kelly and Chad were so enamored with each other that it made you just want to crawl inside their love. :) sweetness, pure sweetness.

Have a great night/morning everyone! Tomorrow's a new week!

Busy is good

So today was busy day... heck who am I kidding, this day is blurred with the rest of the week... I feel like this week was one long gazillion hour day.. a busy one. But I am so thankful for the busyness because it means I am still breathing! (whew!)... also it means that I am helping people smile, and then be able to see those smiles for years and years and years... gotta love photos! :)

Yesterday I met with Britney and Bryce for an engagement shoot in Kennesaw Mt. It was grand, I was looking through my pictures today and I was just so amazed at how sweet their love is, I cannot WAIT until their wedding! Sneak pictures coming soon from yesterday!

Today was a meeting with Kimberly to go over her final details for her June 27th wedding. Bravo! Note to all of you photographers/wedding coordinators/detail obsessed people out there... when discussing a wedding with the Bride... always ask her the schedule of the day! You would be so surprised at how often they haven't thought it through (I mean come on, they are planning most everything else!!!) and setting a schedule (or at least asking for hers) will putyou both at ease, and show that you are really interested in how she would like the day to go.

G.nite g.nite!

A Fantastic day!

So I had a fantastic day photographing Britney and Bryce's engagement.. it rained earlier in the day but then i took one look at the sky and told it who was boss, then wouldn't ya know, it cleared up! I've got the 'look' what can I say :)

Can't wait to show you how absolutely freakin' adorable Britney and Bryce were... but until tomorrow, here is a fabulous wedding photo that I found while I was looking for some 'beach photography' to appease this rainy Georgia weather we have been having lately...

The photo is by ardent photography... check them out HERE

g'nite dudes.

Business is nice...

Well today I am off to lunch with the wonderful Joy Wilson to catch up and hand over some of the photos that I took of her last week. Every time I hand over some product I automatically want to say "nice doin' business wit ya" in my best Chicago-gangster style... does that come to anyone else's mind? Ok maybe just me...

after the lunch with Joy I am off to shoot some love! Yay!!! I was asked to photograph Britney and Bryce for their engagement photos, and they have already booked me for their wedding in November! The shoot is at Kennesaw Mountain in Georgia... lots of wide open fields (imagine some 'Sound of music' theme playing here) and just trees... perfect backdrops. But Of course... I can't ever leave nature to be it's own backdrop (sorry Mother Nature, nothing personal) so I have packed up a few tag-a-long items to incorporate into the pictures.

Hope everyone is having a fanrastic day... I'm dressed up today, felt like showering... hahah

I will leave you with one of the pictures of Joy:

Hope Everyone is having a fantastic day!

Fun Days ahead!

I had such a great time yesterday morning photographing Joy Wilson for Joy Wilson Photography! We met for breakfast and a few portraits/headshots at a cute little place in Atlanta called West Egg. Great little coffee shop with such an eclectic and comfy atmosphere! Please check it out if you are ever in Atlanta looking for breakfast/brunch/lunch (they are only open until 4!).

So Joy needed some updated photos of herself for her blog and website and I was happy to oblige...

Here are some of my favorites from the morning:

So cute!

So this weekend it is off to a wedding in LaGrange... I'm a date, I'm not photographing it, though I'll have a hard time turn my 'photographer's' brain off. The wedding is supposed to be a grand festival... full of southern pomp and circumstance... If I get any photos of it I will be sure to post them.

Have a great day all!

Fine Friday...

Happy Friday! It has been a beautiful day and I am visiting a friend so we took advantage of it and roamed the town square nearby. We sat outside behind a little coffee shop in a sort of court yard-like area... and the comments that followed soon after were focused on the amazing ability that we have to fully relax in public places... feet propped, eyes, closed... completely oblivious to everything around us. Someone could take our stuff... ehhhh but who cares, we'll call the bank ...tomorrow (this has pretty much been the mindset all day).

The one thing that I regret today is that I didn't bring my camera along! AHH! So frustrating, I never have it when I want it. The square was so unique, perfect for one-of-a-kind photos. 

I guess I'll just embrace the next moment.

Tonight we are going to catch a Beatles tribute band.... heck yes. AND it is free, heck yes.. can't by ME love, baby.

Full swing summer!

Summer has started! I'm excited because that means longer days, more time to get things done (or more time to 'waste' time?). I am loving this! I think thought that the individuals at Barnes and Noble are getting tired of seeing my face... I should probably buy something there other than a super large latte in order to compensate for me taking over their extremely comfy chairs. By the way... where DO they get those chairs? Can I buy one? With the amount of money I spend on coffee there I am sure that I could claim one by now...

This weekend will be busy, a wedding to help shoot on Saturday and then a family shoot on Sunday... I'll be sure to stock up on Smart Water before Friday -it's supposed to be hot.

By the way...Was there enough product placement in this post for all of us? I'll look for my check in the mail...

Mallory and Thomas!

Hooray Engagement! I was recently blessed to be able to shoot the engagement photos for a couple that I have become friends with in college. They are such a sweet couple and the blessing of love that God has given them for each other is evident within 5seconds of being with them. Mallory and Thomas were so much fun to shoot! Here are a few from their session:

Some from the shoot at R Ranch.

here are a few shots from the recent R. Ranch shoot. A brother and sister were the main subjects, but one of the sister's friends decided to tag along too; the way I see it... the more the merrier! I had a lot of fun shooting these, they were so charming!

SMILE!

This is little baby Josie. She was my first babysitting experience ever... and it happened on Friday. 

I took this picture when she knew me for no longer than 30 minutes.... but look at the love in her eyes!

I think we can all take a lesson in love from children... they love people simply for just being there, showing them something shiny, or paying attention to them. 

Happy Valentines day!

This bicycle seemed forgotten at the time... notice the flat tires and the leaves that rest on the front tire (signifying that it hadn't been moved in a while). But it's position outside of a cafe tells me it isn't forgotten, it has a purpose... I think to remind people that leisure doesn't have to be complicated or expensive... sometimes the simplest leisures are the best- and can take you the farthest away. 

This picture was taken at this year's Gold Rush festival. I think it generally sums up the entirety of the weekend...lots of things that are too big and too rich for us to stomache but we get them and enjoy them anyway! Like the little girl with the hot dog bigger than her face :). 

She caught me snapping a photo of her though, but I think the expression adds something..

A few more...

This picture of an old woman was taken outside of St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC

While in NYC there were Santa's EVERYWHERE! Here I caught a few crossing the street.

St. Patrick's.

This horse belongs to a friend of mine. I was asked to take pictures of her for a christmas gift.
