If you have been to our site in the past week you may have noticed a little change. We have added  some music from one of our favorites, Beloved. The fabulous trio of women is from right here in Georgia and have graciously allowed us to play their songs to compliment our work, and we couldn’t be more excited.  Although we are honored to share their message with you through sharing their music on our site we are also excited to share their upcoming work as well.

Some may know them just as a singing group, but there is so much more to them. They have taken their God given talents and are using them to minister to women through music and laughter, special retreats, and even their very own line of makeup.  If you are already a fan of Beloved then hold on to your hats because coming soon to a television near you is their reality TV show entitled, “Saggin’ But Not Draggin”. It is the Beloved reality show style! Click the link to watch a little preview of what is in store.

There aren’t many things in this world as cute as a puppy’s face, except maybe for the face of a child when they receive their first pet. This post is for dog lovers and especially for those of you who adopted a dog into your home this Christmas. The video is just a little reminder as to why you need to call us and set up a time to capture those all too brief puppy days. 770.205.5275

I just got done working on this little boy’s session and I just had to share a few of my favorites. Babies in hats are so adorable!

As we celebrate the birth of Christ during this joyous time of year we also are saddened by the loss of a dear friend that many of you know and love.  When our family first met T. Blue “Santa” Sanderson, our oldest children were barely two years old.  We were amazed at the interaction between T. Blue and the kids and how authentic it seemed to be between “Santa” and children.  As they grew up and would see other “Santas” at the mall and in other places, they would say “that’s not the real Santa; the real Santa goes to our church and sings in the choir”.  We would watch other children interact with Santa all year long and it was great fun to watch their expressions at church when around September they would begin thinking about Christmas and telling him in the parking what they wanted from their list.  For some children it has always been a reminder to be on their P’s and Q’s so they would stay on the “nice list”.  Those are just a few of the many special memories we have of Santa … there are many more.  As we told our children this morning of the loss of our wonderful friend, our youngest, Carmen began to cry and said we had so many good times with him.

The one thing that has always meant the most to me is his eagerness to always share the real meaning of Christmas and help us to keep Jesus foremost in our minds and hearts during the season.  Today as we were in church and singing I couldn’t help but visualize him worshiping with the angels and praising Jesus in person.  He has always been solid in his faith and beliefs and so eager to share Jesus with others … because Jesus is the reason for the season.  Even though he lived a life as Santa and reflected his jolly, happy spirit to those around him it was more evident to see the joy of Christ reflected in his life.

As this has been a difficult time in T. Blue going home to be with Jesus, their family has also faced other family members being hospitalized or having surgeries.  Please keep Beth, their children and their families  in your prayers during this difficult time and pray that God will graciously envelop the “presents” of His grace and comfort around them all.

Sandy has been encouraging us all to post some of our favorite work onto the blog. I always have trouble picking just one or two favorites so I am going with a short video instead. This is from a very formal portrait session we did with several different families. Too often people equate formal with stuffy and boring, but I hope these fun and engaging children will open your eyes to all the possibilities available under the “formal” heading.

I’d like to thank Strasburg Children for loaning us the clothes worn by the children in this video.

Santa was a hit … like always!  He loved on and talked to the kids while each child shared with him their wish list for Christmas!  It was great to see new as well as familiar faces and to watch those precious expressions as well as some of the new expressions as they had their first visit with Santa!  Thanks for coming to our studio and making our visit with Santa special also and for blessing our lives with your wonderful families!

On the rare occasion you have a high school senior walk in with a love of golf AND his very own pilot’s license you have to take advantage of it. We each took a turn coming up with ideas to make Adam’s senior book as unique as he is. We let our imaginations run wild and put our skills to the test. Here are our two favorites, plus one of Adam before take off. Congratulations to Adam and all the graduating class of 2010!
