Rome, Ga. Boutique/ Product Photographer: ~{Elle Modeling}~

My beautiful Elle...

I think I may have been a woodland fairy in my previous life because there is nowhere more calming to me, nowhere that sparks my imaginations than in the middle of the woods!!  I love the snarled old tree trunks, long, snaking vines... MOSS... love the furry green moss.  So I couldn't think of anywhere I'd rather shoot Elle's pictures than in our backyard!  Yep... I'm blessed with a small patch of "wildrness" right outside my back door. :)

You may know her by another name, but when she started modeling for some boutiques we decided for her own protection and privacy to give her a professional name... Elle.  There's history there too, but that would be defeating the point now wouldn't it. ;)

We had lots of fun playing with hair and headbands.  These were for Jessica's Pink Bowtique on ETSY.

You can fine Bekah's work here...

Rome, Ga Teen Photographer: ~{Ell~ The Hippie Artist}~

Yep, it's my Bekah again!  Out of all of my five kids, she's the one who always finds her way in front of my camera the most!  LOL!!  She is an AMAZING artist and creativity pours from ever pour of her body.  

 When she was getting ready to visit her pals at a chorus concert recently and she decided to let her "hippie" side flow.  WELL... I had to capture it. ; )  Teheh... I call her my hippie artist!!

Enjoy!

HUGS... and ciao Bella!

Rome, Ga Teen/Child Photographer: ~♥{Alli and Abby}♥~ Sweet Sisters

Today, being my half day Wednesday, I hope to get caught up on some blogging.  Yes, I know I've said that before, but today I really mean it! ; )

Meet Alli and Abby, or as I lovingly call them Alli B and Abby Kayla, two of my beautiful nieces. Alli B was voted homecoming queen for her sophomore class.  How cool is that!  When I was in school, {Yikes... did I really just say that!}, only the Seniors were able to be nominated and voted.  I think it's neat that they allowed the underclassmen to have representatives as well!! 

Abby Kayla was in their school districts "Little Miss" competition.  Doesn't she look adorable!!  I'm so glad their mommy (my sis) asked me to photograph these lovelies in their formal attire.  Lucky for me... they are both VERY photogenic... and L♥♥♥♥VE to smile in front of the camera... (or look VERY dramatic... as you'll soon see. ; )

So enjoy just a few from our fun session!!

Hugs... and ciao Bellas!

PRESH!!!

Aren't they just too cute! ; )

Alli B really is as sweet as she looks!!  : ) As sweet as she is beautiful!

Rome, Ga. Teen Photographer: {My Bekah Boo turned 15... oh my!}

When I look at these pictures of my baby girl, I can not believe this is that same little girl who had the tight little curls all around her ears, but barely any hair at all on top!  The one who would grunt and squeal to random strangers in a restaurant until they looked at her, then play shy. My beautiful Bekah... I love you so much!  HUGS!!!

Ciao Bella!

Bekah refused to take off her "bracelets" (she would have had to cut them off).  She told me to just edit them out!  LOL!!  I decided to just keep them in.  I think leaving them in depicts this stage of her life perfectly.  Almost a woman, but still just a kid. : )  I hope, even as a woman, she'll remain a kid at heart... like her momma! : )

I talked her into wearing my feathers.  Yay!  I just love feathery hair do dads!!

Rome, Ga. Photographer: Tori the Gorgeous ~!!8th Grade!!~

WoW!!  Tori was amazing in front of the camera!  I mean she hit every mark just like a professional!!  I asked her if she thought about modeling.  She looked a little shocked at me, like she wondered why on earth I'd even suggest it!  LOL!!  Well, girl... you would rock the cat walk... I'm just sayin'! ; )

So enjoy a few of the Gorgeous Tori!!

Ciao Bella!

Rome, GA Prom Photographer: Karly and Tyler ~ Prom 2011

The last prom of the year... sigh! = (  I hate to see them go because they are so much fun to do.  But alas, I'm hanging up prom season for wedding season, so that makes it easier! ; )

It's always nice to hear feed back and kind words from other professionals in the biz.  It kind of helps you gauge yourself... or at least it does me, which is why I drive photographers that I've "liked" or befriended crazy with praise and compliments... I know it's helpful to me... and that's just who I am! Praise where praise is due and all that!  But, when a photographer refers you, that really makes you feel good about your work.  I know when I've had to refer my clients to others, there's a lot of trust going with that referral and if I didn't trust that photographer to do their best for my clients, then I wouldn't be referring them!  I said all that to say... Karly and Tyler were a referral from photographer and fabulous hairdresser Cindy Carnes.  

We met up at Oak Hill which is becoming one of my favorite locations in Rome!!  And to think, I've been going all the way out to Barnsley Gardens for the gardens when there have been equally beautiful gardens right here in my hometown! = )  JOY!  Of course, you can never replace the ruins, but the antebellum mansion of Martha Berry's definitely has it's charms!  

Now to stop sounding like a tour guide and back to prom...

We had to work fast due to squeezing them into an already packed day, but everything went fabulously!  They looked gorgeous.  Between the prom going couple they brought with them about ten people.  It was a camer-roma moment, that's for sure!  LOL!  But it was great! I bet Tyler and Karly felt like movie stars with all the paparazzi!  But hey... you can't miss those memories!

So enjoy just a few from Karly and Tyler's 2011 Prom Session!!

Ciao Bellas!

I leave you with yet another before and after picture! = )
