snow day...

give us 2 inches of snow, and a day off together, and you'll find us pretty pleased as punch...

we are diamond eyes...

i've yet to really talk here about exactly why we made the move from charlotte down to atlanta, but the secret's out, so now i can share...

it all started with a text. "move to atlanta and be my second shooter." i wont ever forget when matt miller sent me that message. how my heart skipped a little beat, and excitement ran straight down to my toes. my first response, "yes". my second "if you're joking i will kill you". as you can probably guess by the fact that we now live in atlanta, he wasn't joking. yesterday, jan 22nd, marks the official launch of diamond eyes. this is something matt has been working on for quite some time, and i'm beyond honored to be a part of it. matt is a friend, a mentor, an insane photographer, and one heck of a great person to call my boss. take a few minutes and check out the new site, and if you're getting married, or your band is playing a show, go ahead and hire him. don't even think twice. and heck, if it's your wedding day you'll get me as your second shooter. really it's a win win kinda thing!

fun facts...

*matt also shot our wedding back in '09. check it out!

*matt & danielle have a little girl, stella, who is penny's buddy, and ridiculously cute. follow his IG for more cute than you can handle!

*and one last thing, i'll still be taking on family, maternity, and newborn sessions solo. my calendar will just be a bit busier come wedding season!

sweet dreams...

tonight as we were tucking her into bed she said to me, out of the blue, "best friend in whooooole world" as she gave me a slobbery kiss and hugged my face. i could have died...

sure she may drive me crazy some nights with how she can procrastinate going to bed, but man, tonight it was all worth it!

10 on 10

i decided today that i'd like to play along in the '10 on 10' series that have been making there way around. however, seeing as i JUST decided this, i didn't actually take any photos today. so here are 10 on 9... i'll get my act together next month.

a sick day, in black & white

yesterday penny woke up a bit feverish and a bit stuffy. there were a healthy amount of snuggles in bed, and more than enough peppa pigs were watched. i wish i could say that today she's feeling much better, but sadly it's looking like more of the same. the dogs don't seem to mind it all one bit... lazy bums.
