HAPPY BIRTHDAY RILEY!

Our youngest pup, Riley, turns one (in human years!) today. Because I booked THREE out-of-town weddings in July (woohoo travel!), my parents are currently keeping ALL of our dogs for three weeks (thanks, Mimi and Pappy!). I miss them so incredibly much! They are like my children. I hope these photos make you smile as widely as they do me. : ) This is Riley the day after we brought him home:

...and at about six months (I need to do a better job at taking photos of my personal life!):And because I'm a delinquent dog-parent who forgot to wish Sadie a happy birthday last month, here is a cute one of her (she turned THREE!) with sister Bella back in February 2012. Hehe one of my favorites. : )

JANELLE BRIDAL: UNVEILED!

Janelle is such a beautiful lady and her style is right up my alley! But above all, she is a delightful and FUN person to be around, which makes my job more pleasurable, and in turn, helps me create better work. I'm absolutely thrilled with this session and so happy to have met and worked with Janelle. She married the love of her life, Tim, last weekend in Charlotte (it was MAGICAL), so here are my favorites from her bridal session at The Duke Mansion -- complete with giant balloons and vintage props. The rain couldn't hold us down! : )

Y'all, she MADE her bouquet from peonies she bought at the local farmer's market. LOVE!

Love the pop of color in her Tory Burch shoes!

BETHANY + GAREN - Cedar Hill Lake Wedding

Bethany & Garen got married on a crisp, chilly day at the beginning of October at Cedar Hill Lake in Calhoun, Georgia.

The lake is a very special place for these two (you may remember their engagement session at Lake Hartwell). Cedar Hill Lake's atmosphere fit them perfectly! Denise did a fantastic job with all the decor. And I absolutely DIED over the florals at this wedding, especially Bethany's bouquet.

Score! New watch!

I loved their idea of guests writing their names on their mason jars with chalk. Too cute!

Ahhh the magic of Instagram. : )
