Crystin and Jerry...and Austin Cole!

You gotta love Myspace...where else can you reconnect with friends from Middle School?! When my friend Jerry moved away in 9th grade I thought I'd never hear from him again. Well,what do you know, 12 years later I got his friend request! :)
He is now married to the beautiful Crystin and they have a little baby on the way! Even though they live in Alabama now, they made the drive out to Stone Mountain for a Maternity Sitting.
I had grand plans of a beautiful sunset shoot at Stone Mountain Park surrounded by the new flowers in bloom.
Mother Nature had other plans.
Luckily we were able to take shelter in the Evergreen Hotel in the park. It actually turned out really cool and we were able to get some artistic, dramatic shots in the secluded area downstairs.
Crystin loves Black and White photography, so I did the whole shoot that way.

Right before the downpour...



Isn't Crystin gorg?










I liked how they dupliated the vases on the table...short and tall.

I nominate her for America's Next Top Model...look at those eyes!

Family Reunion

This weekend, my husband Ben and I traveled to Portal, GA for his family get together. Yes, that Portal...of the famed recent lotto winners. Oh, and also the birthplace of Turpentine (in case you care, or just love turpentine!).
It's a sleepy little peaceful town on the outskirts of Statesboro, and where my sister-in-law and Mother-in-law live. I drove around a little and snapped some pics of the town.





I was so excited to see everyone and we had such a great time. New baby Noah was there and doing so well. He's a big healthy baby now!






And of course, Owen was there and full of energy as always!Is this how it works?Ohhhh...thanks Uncle Ben!
Playing the "Trombone""I'm Batman!"
"...and Superman!"
"I'll get you Aunt BB!"

But, he can also be a sweet big brother and a little angel!

Pooped out...
A little grumpy

And of course everyone had to hold Noah for a little while...
