The Stills are the most wonderful family! I met Leigh when I interviewed for a youth ministry job at a church in Stockbridge, GA. I got the job and ended up spending the next two years and some change there. I got to know Leigh, her husband Gary, their kids Matt, Mandy, and Callie, their husbands and wives, and all the sweet grandbabies! We have kept in touch since my husband and I moved to the north side of Atlanta, and I was so honored to take these family photos for them! Callie and her husband Regan recently welcomed little Sam to their now family of three, so it was so special getting to take the first full Still family photos including the newest addition to the family!

Our goddaughter is TWO! How did that happen?! I feel like I am the luckiest godmama in the world to have sweet Eleanor in my life. Her mama and daddy aren't too shabby either! We decided to go to the park and take some family shots for her 2nd birthday, and in my opinion there's no cuter little girl in this whole world than Miss Eleanor. We love watching her grow- but wish she'd slow down a little! 

When it comes to friends, this girl will always be so near and dear to our hearts. We love Ihara and have been so honored to have captured so many special moments in her life. We FINALLY got to meet her sweet little boy, Isiah, and decided to do a little mini session at her parents' home in Blairsville, GA. You guys- THAT SMILE AND THOSE CHEEKS! What a sweet little man! It has been the coolest thing to watch Ihara become his mama- she's a natural! 

In my "other life", I have the immense joy of working for the most wonderful church! With that has come the most wonderful church family. I met Jed and Melanie shortly after I began working at the church, and they are just the kindest, sweetest family you'll ever meet! And can we just talk about how cute little Jonathan is?! Those big blue eyes could melt the coldest of hearts! It was so special to get to capture these memories for them in photographs! 

It's always a special day when lifelong friends trust you with capturing their memories in photos. Last Saturday was no exception. I have known Chris my entire life (almost 31 years!), and when he married Laura back in 2016, I knew I'd found another friend for life! These sweet friends are parents to 2 year old Dollie Kate and 4 month old Cole- and they are the cutest little loves! I got to spend the morning at the East Cobb Park in Marietta with them as a now family of four, listening to Disney music, chasing Dollie Kate around the park, and we came out of it with these, and many more, precious moments! 

Memories- the most priceless and most valuable belongings we have.
The Jordak's are the perfect example of why I love what I do. 
Covid-19 has taken a lot away from so many people, but one thing it cannot stop us from doing is creating memories.

We just have to be creative in how we do so.

The Jordak's welcomed sweet little Olivia into the world back in early June. And their sassy 3-year-old Madison wastes no time in showing just how much she loves her baby sister. We spent a wonderfully overcast July Saturday morning capturing some sweet memories that their family can hold on to forever. Taylor and Marcus have built such a beautiful little family, and it was such a joy to freeze this special time in their lives in photographs.
