We Interrupt our Regularly Scheduled Programming.... June 19th, 2008 . Weddings

You could call me a wedding-processing machine right now. I have several that I am working on at the moment. But I just had to stop and show you these images from the other day. I was thrilled when Justin's aunt called me and inquired if I would come out and take pictures of Justin proposing to Christie? "WOULD I!?!", I think I practically came out of my seat. lol I have long tried to get guys who are thinking of proposing to give me a call first. I have done one or two over the years, but they were spur of the moment shots....not planned ahead. So this time, Justin and I were able to make some plans that allowed me to know where they would be sitting and where exactly I could shoot 'ninja-style'. I am so tickled with the images- how they tell the story of what happened. And I'm so proud of Justin for thinking this through....how much more romantic can you get?? I know Christie is thrilled. I <3 this couple and hope you enjoy the pictures! To see the slideshow, click here. (WARNING: You may want to have a hankie/tissue nearby....it's that sweet!)

Oh, my goodness, I'm surrounded... June 12th, 2008 . Weddings

by beautiful people! See?? These past couple of weeks have been super busy, and there's no way to get a chance to blog these sessions/events like I'd like. (I'm heading out to Knoxville shortly to capture the wedding of Betzy & Brock this weekend!) So I wanted to hop on here and post up a couple of images of each until I get back Monday and can truly spend some time posting.... Tom and Nina were married last weekend on the Burt Farms estate. I can't wait to show you more of the pictures from this fantastic day! They had such gorgeous day and so many uniques touches and their love for one another was an awesome thing to behold. I've got more images coming soon!

Bettye and Jack truly hosted THE most laid-back wedding I've ever photographed. Surrounded by family and friends, they kept things super-simple and oh-so-fun! I love watching Jack laugh and Bettye was stunning....I'm anxious to show you Jack's laugh and all the other details that made this a wonderful day.

Josh and Holley are going to have a beautiful wedding in Gainesville in October. I can't wait to see it all unfold. Holley's expressions are so fun to watch and capture. And it doesn't hurt that their reception is planned in an art gallery. THAT should make for some great pictures. Until then, here's a couple of their engagement pics.

The Devos family was a delight to photograph. They love being together and it showed. They stayed at the Old Edwards Inn, so we were able to use the charming garden areas around the hotel for a few pictures before heading down into Horse Cove for a more natural setting. They even had my wedding clients David and Barbara (hi guys!!) bring up their pooch so that the whole family could be there!

I'll be blogging each of these separately soon, so check back in!! As always, thanks for stopping by. :o)

Warning...this post is going to be all over the place! June 04th, 2008 . Weddings

Haha, there is so much going on that I've fallen behind on posting to my blog....it's the first thing to fall aside when things start humming. But I want to get the word out about several things, so I'm putting them all in this post--so hang on for the ride. :o) Thank you, Thank you to loyal Clients! The Bryans are just awesome. When I was down in McDonough, they brought their daughter, Miss EG, to me for her one year picture. Well, when they had Little B they brought him in for a matching portrait. When I got a call from Amie that they have a new addition to the family, Baby T, and wanted to come up to NC to see me-- I was thrilled. I got to see my kids (I get a little attached to all the kids I photograph, they are such dolls! ;o) and meet Baby T. The session went wonderfully and I received the sweetest email from Amy yesterday..... "Hi Ginger - Here are my pictures, framed and on the wall. We LOVE LOVE LOVE them! Thank you. Have a great day! Amie" and she even sent pictures!!! I LOVE seeing images I've created on the wall!

Thank you Amie and Brian! I treasure the fact that you trust me to capture you childrens' pictures. <3 The Charleston Trip Pictures are UP!!! My daughter's class went on a wonderful, whirlwind trip to Charleston. Mrs. Hedden plans a trip each year for the 5th grade kids that are leaving elementary school for middle school next year. This year the kids were treated to visits to Boone Hall Plantation, the Charleston Museum, a ghost tour, the South Carolina Aquarium, an ecological tour with Barrier Island Eco Tours, a historic carriage ride with the Palmetto Carriage Company and, finally, a trip out to Fort Sumter on the 'Spirit of Charleston'. Boy were we a tired bunch after the trip, but it was wonderful to see the kids excited about history and natural science...they were engaged--learning while having fun. What more could you wish for?? Kudos to Mrs. Hedden for planning such a wonderful trip. The memories will last a lifetime. (I will work to get the galleries up so that if anyone wishes to order prints, they will be available soon. Until then, there are links below for two versions of the slideshow. The long one will take a while, so it most likely will appeal mostly to parents and grandparents of the kids on the trip. The short one is only a few minutes long, so it's fun to watch for almost anyone. )

To see the short show (most of you ;o), just click here. To see the long show (us parents mostly will enjoy this one), just click here. There's more, but I guess I'd better stop there for now....I have lots more work to do to get my clients their images. Promise to post more later! Thanks for reading. If you like, leave me a comment below. Have a great day!!
